What sort of warm-up exercises do you use? |

I go through phases where (every day for months) I'll work on sticking exercises on a practice pad for an hour and then sit down at the kit and work on patterns with my feet for half an hour before I do any drum set playing. Then there are also times that I'll just sit down at the kit and just start warming up by playing a groove and building upon it. I would say that any grouping of singles, doubles, paradiddles, inverted paradiddles, accents, dynamics, etc... are all good for warm-ups. The most important thing is to make sure you're holding your sticks correctly, concentrating on your technique, and working with a metronome.
