5 Blocks, unless it's at my house. My tops was around 30 miles each way though, twice a week.

 

[tplyons]

used to drilve 52 miles for practice. decided to save gas and practice 6 hours straight once a week.

A few feet to my studio.


There was a time when I traveled once a week from San Francisco to Santa Cruz. That sucked.

 

[cheezewiz]

Practice? Whats that?

On the rare occasions my band rehearses, it's about ten miles from my house to the drummers house.

What is this "Mile" you speak of?

This makes me feel a little better (less crazy)

I've just started going 105 miles for practice. That's right. Wednesdays and every other Sunday. But everything else about this project is perfect for me right now, the band leader is my best friend - other members are good frineds too. They are all increadibly talented and I'm lucky to have the chance to play with them... So, yeah - 105 miles one way. I devote 7 hours of my time for a 3 hour practice and spend about $50 on gas....and so far - I couldn't be happier!

Roughly 80 miles. That's what I get for moving and thinking I could "keep the band together".

Back in my day we used to walk for three days to get to practice. Carrying 2 8x10's and a 90lbs all tube head on our shoulders.

It was all uphill too....both ways!

Through 8 feet of snow....and that was during the summer!

And we didn't have shoes back then....and the only thing we had to pave the roads with was broken glass!


You kids got it lucky. With your fancy invention of "the wheel"

and your MTV

....damn kids....

I drive exactly nine miles, and so I was unable to vote accuratley.

Actually, I drive about a kilometre, or maybe less.

[Kelly Lee]

A little over 30 miles one way.

 

[Figjam]

0. its in my basement.

For nearly two years I made an hour and half drive each way to practice four times a week with a band. Furthermore, our gigs were usually in a city even further away...close to a three hour drive one way.

Needless to say I loved that band and made every sacrifice to be in it. Too bad it no longer exists in that particular composition.

 

[JimmyM]

I never drive to practices. Only gigs.

First of all, I don´t have a car. Second, I don´t drive.

So I usually have a 90 minutes trip in public transport: subway, train and taxi. Many times that happens after work (yesterday for example) so the 90 minutes trip back home is tremendous.
