i find when i do it at least recreationally it invokes the same feelings of exercise, of a sort, that sort of runner's high feeling, especially when you actually play and know you're killing the part.

if i try to work on a part, i don't, because i feel like a total fraud for even trying it. like, it feels dumb and kooky versus extremely cool and suave on a real kit (to those with the eyes to see...) which prevents me from wanting to do it for too long.

but i legitimately think it could help because it's many of the arm motions, at least arm/wrist wise, and hands if you use sticks.

Playing on a mouse pad is a pretty good way to practice. Hearing a sound helps, and you can still include your feet too.
