Getting your kit set up and ready go is an important aspect of playing that often doesn't get talked about too much in lessons.  But having your kit set up in a way that makes it as easy as possible to reach everything will really help you to play to the best of your ability.
In this fantastic Drumeo Lesson, Jarrad sets up his kit talking about all the important aspects that he thinks we should be considering. 
Lets GO!

The Snare is a unique drum and is such an important part of our drum kit sound. Getting it to sound great can sound can sometimes be tricky.  In these videos we look at getting the snares centred with Rob Brown and then and then tuning it Jarad.

Now that you have your kit set up, how does it sound?  If you don't love it, this video may help you get a better sound.

How's this for Left Foot control! - Oh yeah and no double bass required here...

​                                         Great Hands for a Lifetime

The skills that we need to be able to play the warm up routine are
1. Rebound Strokes
2.  Accents  (using down strokes or as John Wooton calls the, - controlled strokes)
3.  Rebound double Strokes

Accents
In this first video we revise the four basic stroke types which we will need to play the  the accents.

Rebound doubles
​This video will help you with your double stroke roll or as Tommy calls it - Long Roll

The whole routine at 130bpm.  It you watch the video at 75% that make it about 100bmp which is a pretty good play to start.  Then practice along with the metronome gradually speeding it up until you can play along with the video at full speed
