estemshorn asked: Our drumline's insider is that we can't come because we have an underwater basket weaving class. It didn't actually happen where someone used that as an excuse but our director made that joke because of all the stupid excuses that people used for not coming, for example, they had to show pigs at a 4h fair.
the---king asked: Every year, because it's our birthday, our captain buys us knee high black socks because we always lose them over the season, and makes cupcakes for the line. She's boss.
the---king asked: Me and my first basses birthdays are just one day apart and it's always in the middle of band camp. So is our guard captains. The birthday story made me laugh (:

tlnmusic asked: AH! Make sure when you tighten the connectors, the drums are upside down so the heads are facing the ground. Otherwise, you may end up locking the drums into an even more crooked position. Hope this helps :)
johnmelius asked: Tighten the connectors between the drums

boguskudos asked: For the anonymous tenor: The biggest problem that I had with auditioning for tenors was the weight. It's one thing to be able to play them but you have to carry them too. They're pretty heavy drums. I suggest borrowing a set from school and just carrying them around your yard. Also, if you wear them and lean against a wall, it'll help you stand up straight while you carry them and...
Anonymous asked: I know you play snare, but I was wondering if you knew anything working on tenor technique. I am completely new to tenors, moving from pit to battery. So if have any tips from your tenors, or any general upper battery tips, I would greatly appreciate them. :)

Anonymous asked: Hey. I'm currently in my high school Drum Line. I am 1st Bass. For 2nd Semester, we have auditions again for both Drum Line and Pit. I've been debating whether to keep my 1st Bass position or to move on to Pit. The Pit Section has been horrendous during 1st Semester, and I think it would be nice if I helped get the sound out with Marimba for 2nd Semester. However, I have known the 1st...

Again with this full circle shit. I was just chopping around in the band room at lunch and trying to help one my bass drums when this random concert band kid comes over and goes, “Hey, you know what you’re doing! Can you help me with this snare part for the concert?”
And I almost looked over my shoulder to see if he was talking to someone else. In my mind at that moment, people...
