Warm-Ups

Click on the tabs under the main menu to access all the Orleans Percussion warm-ups. To hear audio of the files you must have QuickTime on your computer. Scroll to the bottom of each page and click play to hear the audio. Also, to print out copies of these files, scroll to the bottom of each page for links to a PDF version.

These warm-ups are designed to allow you to work on timing, basics, and technique. They are meant to be used as a stepping stone to the exercises and show music. However, after moving on to bigger and better drill, it is important to begin every practice with a few warm-ups to prepare the arms and wrists for the assault they are about to endure.
