Hi, this is something i've been dealing with for a long time. you'll probably laugh at this one but i use the bottom of a kayak in my garage! it's just about at the right height and i can get a pretty good tone out it.
;)
would i recommend purchasing a practice yak? naaaaa,
but at least it's keeping my hands going. and the kayak keeps me in somewhat decent shape. hehehe

so with a table or something you can at least get to practice the different sticking combos and work on your one hand rolls etc. and it's a good time as any to work on this stuff with a metronome.

i've also been working up some pieces on a keyboard. using just two fingers on each hand like i would mallets. so i'll at least know the mechanics of some pieces when i finally do get an instrument.

good luck, and try to have some fun.

mike
