Hey r/percussion, I noticed a few cases of posts reported for asking for copyrighted sheet music, some newer percussion students might not know but it’s a pretty serious legal issue, several reasons:

1. Niche market, piracy steals income from composers who are dependent on these income

2. Strict publisher enforcement, they can issue DMCA takedowns, and if a sub accumulates multiple of them, we could be banned by Reddit

3. General understandings of copyright is important, especially as you move into more serious playing, for example in Florida S&E, you have to provide an original legally purchased copy to the judge, otherwise disqualified

So the new third rule would be “Asking for or sharing unauthorized copies of copyrighted sheet music is not allowed, including published solos, pieces, methods books, etc”

Thanks and have a nice day

So apparently parents can legally force their children to participate in religious activities, as long as there is no “physical abuse” or “severe psychological abuse”

So does freedom of religion not apply on children? It’s however illegal to force another adult to participate in religious activities, this is another example of minors not being considered as human beings with rights in legal systems

A parent can ground their kid, take away their phone, or limit other things as “punishment” for not attending church or praying, I think this could be fine if it is for some other establishment of rules or behavior, but religious belief is a major personal decision, it does not affect is a kid is “good” or not, there is no accepted universal standard, and it shouldn’t be the same as behavior management

It’s illegal to violently drag a kid to church, but it’s legal to ground them or take their phones away, however people need to realize that to a child or teenager, socializing and internet access are essential to their mental wellbeing..

Legally, a family can give their child a piece of mattress, give the basic food and water, pull the child out of school, away from familiar teachers and friends, cut off any internet access, all these, not because the child did something wrong or that the family is unable to provide more, but because the child refuse to follow their parent’s personal religion belief, so practically there is absolutely no other choice for the child

Even if after 18, the child can gain total independence from parents, the harm is already done, the parents already forced the religious beliefs onto them while they were toddlers, being most prone to religious thinkings, then these children grow up to do the same to their own children, or become traumatized with religion and struggle to leave it..we see a lot of these here on this sub

This all just seem absurd for me, parents use their “freedom of religious practice” to violate their children’s own rights, I think people should have the freedom of religion, and I don’t think religion is always brainwashing, but when it comes to kids this is a major example of it being brainwashing, reasons are above.
Some people would argue it’s their culture, but well, if your culture depends on brainwashing children to maintain, then maybe it’s not a good culture..

But of course, if you try to make this illegal, it’s a big difficulty when it comes to enforcing in homes, I consider maybe rely on reports from kids themselves, or offering resources that they can access out of home, but again that’s not possible if the family decide to homeschool and cut off internet access..

Tldr: parents have the legal right to indoctrinate their child, the legal system in many places treats children as properties with no rights

This is my first post in the sub, just sharing my thoughts, open to hearing other people’s

Hey guys, I’m going to be playing snare for the upcoming marching season, does anyone have any recommendations on what earplugs I can buy to protect my hearing? We’ll be rehearsing both indoors and outdoors, thanks

Hey guys, final on the sub icon for now, u/ggfchl’s final design (a circle made up of 4 percussion instruments) got a lot of appreciation, so here’s a poll to whether we change the logo to that (link below), or keep it as is

Hey guys, my earlier announcement (https://www.reddit.com/r/percussion/s/hT23h9Y5gK) got some great icon suggestions, thanks to everyone.

Since a vibraslap seemed to be the most suggested it will be the sub icon for now, with that I also added a banner, the sub should look cooler now :)

I also saw u/ggfchl’s design and it’s great, but I think still in draft currently? So if you ever finish it, please feel free to send it to me.

Hey guys, I’m one of the two new moderators here and I’m considering adding an actual sub icon so it’s less boring.
Feel free to suggest anything here and in a few days we will choose one that’s most liked/interesting.

A few rules

1. Percussion related
2. Need to look good as a small circle
3. No AI generated images
