Hey Matt,

The only thing I've ever found a mirror useful for when practicing is to pick out obvious bad habits in posture, etc. But that was before videos were so easy to make. :)

However, I will say I have heard drummers talk about how important it is to practice with a mirror to even out their limbs and stick strokes. I know a drummer who keeps a mirror mounted on his kit.
