形成良好的練習習慣本身就是一門藝術，在我們努力成為一名音樂人的道路上，練習什麼和怎樣去練習對於我們來說都是非常重要的事情。我們練習什麼？這是因人而異的,需要根據你的音樂發展方向和你目前的進度和正在努力的方向來決定。以下是一些意見和建議：
1．練習任何需要的練習,使你目前正在演奏的東西變得更好。通過聽錄音或者聽取你樂隊隊友的回饋，你會發現在歌曲中和感覺上你遇到麻煩的地方，你就會有一些有助於你繼續工作的相關的想法。
2．我建議你找一個好的私人教師，跟他（她）學習如何理解音樂，改進和發展你的技術，感受你老師的有趣的概念和想法，並且根據你的進度得到清楚及時的回饋和建議。跟著老師學習你會得到良好的訓練並形成好的練習的習慣，因為你每週都要上一次或兩次課，你要給老師回課（交作業），你就要努力練習和準備。
3．利用一部分的練習時間去思考，要逐漸發展和形成一套你自己的概念。
4．利用一部分的練習時間去理解音樂，隨時準備好即將來臨的授課，試聽等。
5．當你閱讀一本雜誌，聽CD裏某個人演奏，觀看現場演示或教學視頻時，對於那些你感興趣的地方，你應該去分析它，並把它變為你自己的東西。
那麼我們如何去練習呢？這兒有一些練習的基本原則，在我成為一名樂手的道路上，這些原則極大地幫助了我。
1．堅持每天練習，偶爾地休息一天。
2．有組織﹑始終如一地去練習，你要非常清楚你將要練習的是什麼，並嚴格地按照計畫去練習。
3．耐心﹑從容地去練習。
4．安靜而緩慢地練習，這樣你可以很好地控制音量和速度。
5．儘量把手和腳或是身體中一些有粘性的東西分開，用這樣的方法練習可讓你形成一種很好的概念。緩慢而放鬆地去練習，讓這些概念成為你潛意識裏的東西。
6．慢慢地按照概念做出必要的打擊動作，直到你的身體能夠“自己演奏”。
7．緩慢地呼吸，放鬆，讓你的練習狀態類似於冥想的狀態。
8．最終要做到這樣：“聽”你腦海裏的概念，讓你的身體跟著做出反應，毫不費力地把它演奏出來。
9．跟著音樂的套子練習（如四小節或者八小節的樂句，十二小節BLUES/布魯斯等），跟著CD演奏，有節拍器音軌和無節拍器音軌的都要跟著練。
10．練習正式開始之前要進行熱身，感到疲勞時就停止。

The Art of Practice: An Excerpt from "Steve Smith: Drumset Technique/History of the U.S. Beat" (Hudson Music DVD) Developing good practice skills can be an art form in itself. What we practice and how we practice are very important to one’s development as a musician.
What do you practice? This will be different for everyone depending on your stage of musical development and what you currently need in order to move forward. Here are some ideas and recommendations:
1. Practice whatever you need to do a better job on the gigs you are currently playing. You will have some relevant ideas to work on by remembering what songs or feels you had trouble with, listening to a recording of the gig or by using feedback from the other band members.
2. I recommend studying with a good private teacher to learn how to read music, develop good technique, be exposed to interesting ideas and approaches, and to get clear and instant feedback on your progress. By studying with a teacher you can also develop good practice discipline because you’ll need to prepare a weekly lesson.
3. Use your practice time to work on and develop your own ideas.
4. Use your practice time to learn music and prepare for an upcoming gig, session or audition.
5. Work on an idea that interests you that you read about in a magazine or that you hear someone play on a CD, a live gig/clinic or an educational DVD/video.
How do you practice? Here are some practicing principles I use that have helped me continue to grow as a player.
1. Practice Every Day with an occasional day off.
2. Be Organized and Consistent - know what you are going to practice each day and stick to the plan.
3. Use Patience and Take Your Time.
4. Practice Quietly and Slowly. By doing this you gain control at many Volumes and Tempos.
5. Figure out the Stickings and Hand/Foot combinations. With this process you gain an understanding of the information in the idea. With Consistent, Slow and Relaxed practice you allow the information to enter your subconscious.
6. Slowly work out the motions necessary to play the ideas and eventually allow the motions start to "play themselves."
7. Breath slowly, relax and use the practice as a meditation. Develop the habit of playing relaxed, don’t hold tension in your body. Use a mirror to watch your motions.
8. Eventually "hear" the idea in your head and allow your body to respond and play it effortlessly.
9. Practice with Musical Form (e.g. 4 & 8 bar phrases, 12 bar blues, 32 bar AABA song form) , play along with CDs, and practice both with and without a click track.
10. Warm up before the practice session, stop when fatigued.
