April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp
once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

45 minutes daily for me too.
I play one kit for 2-3 months at a time then switch.
Room temp in my 3rd floor drum room lately has dipped to low 40s lately. I can sometimes see my breath up there at night lol.

All I have is vintage kits. I gig 4-6 times a month. I have 2 primary kits that I use but try to rotate one of the other 11 kits into the mix every once in a while.

Between band jam practices / open mics that's 5hrs a week..& personal practicing of 1hr a week...that's 6hrs..a week divide by 7days..
That equals about the same .....45/50mins a day..
That's not taking into consideration that I'm Giggin 3x a mth (only use vintage kits)..!
I have 3 vintage kits...I do rotate between (2) kits and leave my gem for staring at..lololol.

An hour or so a day, every day. Now that I don't have to punch a clock anymore, I'm able to keep up a daily regimen of practice. I don't have the speed I had when I was 17, but my playing chops have gotten much better since I've been able to play daily.
Funny thing: If I lay off for a few days, when I come back, I always play and sound better! Short lay-offs after a long stint of daily practice is almost like a battery recharge. I come back stronger for some weird reason. You'd think the lay-off would start the 'rusting' process, making it a little harder to come back to form right away. But not so. Go figure.
