251. Write the date on your drumheads when you change them. This makes it easier to track when you last changed them.

252. Remember that although drum tabs can be helpful, they are not a substitute for learning to read. Please take the time to learn to read music. You will be grateful you did!

253. Slow down that song so you can hear the drum parts. They make tape recorders and other audio gear that has "pitch control". It's a wise investment for those that do a lot of transcribing.

254. Combine rudiments for some interesting combinations of rhythm. It's a great way to come up with new ideas for drum parts. Apply them across the drums using different pitched percussion.

255. Mark the bottom of your favorite pair of drumsticks with an X. This way you can quickly see them among all the others when you're looking down at your stick bag.

256. Most drummers don't tune the bottom of their snare drum tight enough. This is where you get your snare response.

257. Don't just play, but climb inside the groove! "Feel" the music and become one with it. This may sound a bit weird to some but try it and you'll experience a whole new depth to music that you've never known before.

258. Use a brillo pad or fine steel wool to clean your cymbal stands. It will take the rust out as well as blemishes that often show up in chrome.

259. Are you getting the most of your drum lessons? I've known some drummers that have taken drum lessons with the same drum teacher for over 10 years. It leaves me wondering if they're really benefiting from those lessons the way they should be. Evaluate your progress now and then and be sure you're getting your moneys worth. Take lessons with other teachers now and then so you can compare teaching styles and progress.

300. Keep a permanant marker with your drums. You can help write set lists, write small notes on your drumheads when necessary or initial drum accessories.
