Drumming, or mastering any craft, is something you should do EVERY DAY if you want to be truly great at it. If you have goals to march somewhere special, or there is a really cool lick you want to play with great quality, whatever your goal is, you need to work at it daily.

If the only time you are drumming is at rehearsal with your ensemble, you are not giving yourself the time it takes to truly develop. Even taking one or two days off can slow down progress for some people. That is why drumming every day is so important! Even if it is just for 15-30 minutes, getting your hands moving at least once a day is key to a healthy diet of getting better.
