GO! Clocking in at nearly 16 minutes in length, this sequence represents a complete warm-up package for the battery ensemble. It was designed by Murray Gusseck, battery caption manager for the Santa Clara Vanguard, to be a self-contained warm-up that very specifically targets the various muscle groups of the fingers, wrists, and forearms in an equally specific order of events.

With over 20 individual exercises in 9 different categories, this mammoth practice tool contains something for just about everyone. What's more is that the entire sequence is played at one tempo—90bpm! Of course, because of this unique tempo condition, you can completely re-arrange the individual exercises according to preference. Additionally, each part can be broken out from the sequence and worked separately according to your particular circumstances, or you can run the full sequence by simply turning the metronome on and starting from the top!

For instructors and students of varying experience levels, GO! represents a unique tool for challenging the hands AND the mind. From "8 on a hand" style exercises to simple Moeller push-pull techniques, it's all there for you.

So GO for it!
