do you think it is possible to learn how to play a drum kit with little to no access to one? I've been a percussionist for years (marching band snare, djembe in church, etc.) but can't drum on an actual drum where i live. i desperately want to expand my abilities so I can just sit down at a set and play without feeling totally lost. i know i need a lot more limb independence and just straight up muscle memory to do that.... do you think it's possible to develop those any other way?
you can probably get pads that use a kick pedal, and you'll also need some regular drum pads, and then get like 3 or 4 snare stands, make sure they can go up high (so you can simulate the position of a high hat) and get a drum throne. and sticks which you surely already have. or if you've got a lot more money, you could get an electronic drum kit. you already have stick technique, but getting a kick pedal and some way to play a pad with it will be helpful because learning to use a kick pedal is it's own thing, just like learning to use the sticks
