Warming up?

I was just wondering what people do to warm-up their feet. I see tons of stuff for hands, but for me unless I'm doing like a marathon hands dont really matter, but even a lot of bass for a decently long time or double bass a ton will kill my feet. What are some good excersices for the feet?

For me, it's a lot of stretching (hip flexors, hamstrings, glutes, front and back of calves), then just playing to a click starting at 200 bpm and working my way up to ~240. I do the same thing with my hands (stretch wrists and fingers first). If this is more in reference to warming up for RB, then just play increasingly demanding songs. If you play real drums, and don't have a click, get one.

I frequently do bass warmups [with a metronome] by playing straight 8th notes at various speeds, slow to fast. And I'll play a standard doubles exercise as well. "Dudu dudu dudu dudu du du" etc. Hope that helps.
