i dont particularly need fast pace pumping music...just stuff that makes me feel happy and good inside. Feel good songs. They can range from techno to slow rnb loves songs. Anything that makes me feel good will get me in a happy state to play well.
my earphones always come off that and I don't like wearing them while playing. No need to show off and look pro. You can always listen to it off court

I usually play Badminton on Sundays. After Baptist Christian Church attendance of course. And when in court at the middle of the game where everything is serious, the PA system plays the song One Night in Bangkok. It somehow work wonders on my HEAD racket as the smashes are precise and net plays are amazingly accurate! Wonder if it is the same with Zhou Mi?
this one motivates me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81NeQJWGYJY&feature=related another one.. Mercy Drive - Burn in my Light http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNCGGgNQ62c

Loud/angry stuff gets me going when I'm working out. Hatebreed, Disturbed, Korn Powerman 5000, Rage against the machine etc. etc. Not normally my cup of tea but it keeps me going at 110% I try to mix in some other stuff so I don't go isane though, ex: alterbridge, Bach, Ra, God is an Astronaut, Incubus, shinedown, tantric, hurt, apocalyptica etc etc. Kinda depends on my mood I guess o,o
just the usual techno, trance, some dance, anything with a good beat and some interesting/appealing lyrics are good too. and thats kinda all that i need to keep going to push myself harder and go further.
Metallica - Wherever I May Roam Errrm probably best during strentgh training . All in all anything with some pace to it, from techno to dare I say Alphabeat haha (yes I have them on my iPod ).
