They can make different sounds and they can do little lines and I think that would be cool.
I asked my friend about this and he called me the r slur so I’m hoping the internet will have answers
is this normal? it happens no matter what stick i use. yes it does it with pitch matched ones. its not the playing surface either. it happens on snares and pads.
So i am an active vibraphone player for anyone that has played it what would yall say is the minimum to be heard because I realise I play quietly but it seems loud to me but I can never hear it in recordings
Hello, I’m a first year music teacher. Part of my contract is marching band. Coming into my position I learned that my drumline has not had sheet music in years. They learn their cadences by ear from old videos.
I don’t mind the tradition of passing things down, but I don’t like that there is no sheet music to be found. I don’t know how to help them improve and help them fix anything if they are playing it wrong. I have been able to transcribe two of their cadences.
This one I am having trouble with especially with the technique in the tenor drum entrance. On the drum they are almost doing a double stroke but dragging in from center of drum head to the bottom edge of the drumhead. (I have a video recording of their cadence.)
I know a good bunch about percussion and technique but I don’t know if this is something they are doing wrong or if it is an actual notation/technique.
If there is anyone who has heard this cadence/has another recording/sheet music could I get some help/advice?
Thank you!
So I have this random carrier laying around and I thought to turn it to a tenor carrier since my current carrier is from the 90s and holy hell… it hurts. So, how do I do it??
