Drumming is definitely a nice break when I need to step away from a problem for a minute! I've been working from home for the last year due to COVID-19, and I have my electronic drum set right next to my desk.

There's the old trick that if you feel stuck, you should go for a walk for 5 minutes are just do something to clear your head. Your brain can work on the problem in the background, and when you come back to your desk, you may have a fresh new "aha" moment or insight on what to do next. So drumming for a couple minutes is perfect for that!
