Since politeness doesn't seem to be necessary I'm not posting this for you. Other people who are looking for some good warm-up exercises will surely find this useful. Good left hand exercise. Some hard stretches (for me that is... I have very very small hands). It's nicked from John Petrucci's Rock Discipline.

this should be played as chords. So only your middle and ring finger move pinky and index stay in place. Play this whole thing when you did it a snare lower and again till you end up on the e snare

Same thing, only go one snare higher when you played it.

You get the Idea.

For right hand warmup. just start some slow chromatics and slowly increase.
