Places where equipment can be left for extended periods of time usually work best. Next, check with everyone within earshot of your practice area. Make sure it is okay with them if you practice, and agree on what hours of the day it will be tolerated. I also ask them to call if the practicing ever becomes too loud. Plan practice sessions in advance .
Planning is one of the most crucial elements of effective practice.
An enormous amount of practice time is often wasted due to poor planning and organization. A person who boasts of practicing an hour a day may in fact be wasting as much as 30 minutes sorting through materials and deciding what to work on, or playing over material that is already mastered. Know what you want to accomplish before each practice session. Simply going in to the drums thinking that you will become better just because you are practicing anything won't do. Set up a specific practice order .
