Hey,

I'm in a band that's getting ready to play gigs very soon. Our style is like Slipknot and Mudvayne, so I play with a strong emphasis on fast and accurate double pedal playing. Before I practice, I usually have to warm up my legs anywhere between 2-10 minutes. However, I'm not sure how this will work before a gig. It's not like I can say 'time out' right before we play just to pump out some nice doubles to get my legs going. Does anyone have any suggestions or techniques that they use or know of that might help me?

Grab a chair and the double pedal, and if you can sit it up against a wall in a locker room or something, play some rudiments, then attach it to your kit, might work??
