My sister band kid i think it could be cool to join but probably to late and unsure

#

i wanna be drummer i think it would be cool

knotty kindle
#

Drumming is cool, but takes a ton of coordination and practice

#

Also chat

My indoor drumline season is over

#

Cuz kids were being disrespectful to parents

I’m kinda glad a bit tho

#

Cuz it was stressful and bad for my grades

#

And I hate mallet instruments

knotty kindle
#

Nvm false alarm

#

Drumline is still going

cloud leaf
#

sometimes the drum line starts playing the cadence during advisory 😭

sage goblet
#

Sounds about right

knotty kindle
#

Chat apparently my school is gonna get a new cadence soon

#

Maybe I’ll be on snare for it

cloud leaf
#

#

i love cadences theyre all so unique and fun

night brook
#

oh

#

i did not know this thread existed

#

hello

#

i make sounds by hitting things

red marsh
#

there is a thread for this??

#

I was encouraged to try out for drumline next year

#

idk what to try out for tho?

night brook
#

My advice would be to play all of the instruments at least once and see what you like the most

#

Tenors are the most fun but are quite heavy

red marsh
#

Ah okay thank you! Snare and tenors have always seemed super cool to me, but I definitely want to be open minded before I narrow it down.

#

I need to practice on a practice pad this summer to get better

cloud leaf
#

GUYS wish me luck today is the drum major written test!!! i did auditions yesterday already

knotty kindle
#

Chat I’m trying for tenors soon

#

Wanted to do snare but sadly can’t

#

Rate the practice set up tho

#

lmao

#

that’s unironically what I did

#

you do what you gotta do

#

since tenor practice pads are like $300

#

thinking about buying one of the tenor sets from my drum corps when the season ends to use as a practice set

As someone who plays both, it's very easy to pick one up once you can play the other

The tenors hurt

#

My shoulders are killing me

#

And my back

night brook
#

You get used to it after a few days

#

But I recommend doing shoulder/back workouts to make it easier

#

This was written by a high school band director so I’m sending it here

#

WHAT

night brook
#

Yeah in the northeast school runs from the monday after labor day until the end of june

#

But band camp for me was always end of july -> mid-August

#

And then I ran snare and tenor auditions right after school ended in June

knotty kindle
#

Ah

errant scroll
#

We used to run from the day after labor day to the middle of June

#

until it was pushed back to mid-august to late may

#

Band camp for me was usually first week of august through early september
