How in the world do you all do it?
« on: October 23, 2008, 08:37:15 PM »
Ive always noticed how some of you get to manage time to practice while doin' your career and/or school and work.  I have school in the morning weekdays from 8 a.m.- 3:20 p.m., go to work at 5 to 10 on mondays and tuesdays, 6-10 on wednesdays, off thursday(band practice till 5 p.m.) and friday(have to travel afterschool with band), work 2 p.m to 11 p.m. on saturday, and work 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. on sunday. The only day i can get practice in on is thursday and saturday.  Thursday at 6:30 is choir rehearsal till whenever.  Most of the time im too tired to even try to practice on the kit.  I guess when football season is over I can have more time. I dont have time to do anything really, not even go places with my girl. How do you all manage to practice inbetween your career/job, school, etc.? Its very hard and frustrating.

Things will slow down for you bro. Their are an array of different reasons people around here are afforded more time to practice than others. You have a lot going on right now man, it's completely normal at your age (I'm guessing your 18-25). Your situation will change as life goes on. But most the time it's a matter of setting time aside.

I don't know if this is the answer you were looking for but it's all gonna be good man. You're doing the right things.

P.S. on the real though, what kind of boyfriend are you man! Take your girl out! NO EXCUSES that's foul man!

I will when i get the time. Just been workin' ta death, imma change my availability on saturdays and work from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. or 5 so we can go places at night. We started around 3 weeks ago and she understands how it is though. But ur right.

Just try going to work with you kit in the car and going straight to rehearsal or a gig right after work. Then getting home and taking the kit out of the car just long enough to get some sleep and doing it all again the next day.  I know somebody else has done it.

...I know the feeling.  I used to always have my practice pad and sticks with me though.  When I would get a break at the job, I would get right to practicing and eating. lol  Those were the days....

...hang in there man.

All I can say is when you get an opportunity to practice even if it's 1/2 hour...don't pass it by. It's tough though. I leave sticks and Remo puddy pad in the car at all times.

Easy.  The message behind fretai03's statement is instead of using the free time that he's 'wasting' on the internet, he could be using this time 'wisely' on the drums.

Thank you all for the replies and suggestions.  Man im startin' to get into what life is really like. Just worked a 9-hour shift today. Heres what ive decided to do for right now....purchase a bass drum practice pad(http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gibraltar-GBDP-Bass-Drum-Pad?sku=446025) and bring my hi-hat stand, hats(w/muffle), snare stand, snare(w/muffle, or just use my HQ Realfeel) and maybe a stand and ride home and practice whenever i get to the crib for right now.  I have no room to fit a full kit in my room, or any room, at the moment. I know its not much but its better than not practicing at all.
