any tips for getting better on the pads?

hey guys,

I'm trying to get my hands better at banging out drums and things on the pads... does anyone have any tips, warmup or practice routines that can help me get better at this?

kinda like how piano players have scales and stuff to practice, something similar for teh pads would be ill

turn of quantize and play to the click, listen back see how you did, then repeat. practice is the only way to get anything.

wouldnt you think this is common sence?

I play for at least half an hour everyday, im gunna start playing mpc drums for this crew so I gotta shape up.. I just chuck a cd on, load up a full drum kit, cymbals toms n all and play along… it gets you doing patterns you would normally ever do… its all practise man, study drums, study what a drummer can do.. Think like a drummer, a drummer only has two hands and two feet…..
I dunno, That’s all I got
Oh wait, assign 2 snares and two kicks (same sample) so you can get quick flowy da doom sorta sound…
My setup:

13. crash 14. crash2 15.ride 16 ride2
9. tom 10. tom 11. tom .12 tom.
5. snare 6. snare 7. open hat. 8. almost open hat
1. kick 2. kick. 3. clsd hat. 4 china
