Join composer and educator Eric Rath as he shares the story behind DAILY DRILL — a modern, music-forward approach to band warm-ups designed to engage the full ensemble (yes, even percussionists).

If you’re a busy band director looking for smarter, more musical warm-ups, this is for you.

Say goodbye to metronome clicks and hello to groove-based play-alongs in styles like funk, mambo, dubstep, and more — all while hitting essential fundamentals in every key.
