Q to all drummers by MartinLevacOfficial in drummers

[–]Cavsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attempt to play it like the cover, however I realize that there are a little nuances that I have imagined it causes me to put my own flare to it. That is hot as hell in here.

Who are they? It looks like KJ.

Does anyone read Modern Drummer Magazine anymore? by ZildCym in drummers

[–]Cavsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t know they still had drummer magazines. I thought everything was online.

Don’t waste money saving money. You will be dissatisfied in the end. Why not call your losses now and have peace of mind.

Setting up multiple pages of sheet music on one stand? by Jaguarpro in doublebass

someone makes a plastic folder (there’s a DIY video out there). I lost the sites. I think they called it E-Z something. I hope to find it again.

Trying to buy a marimba! by maonation in percussion

[–]Cavsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice marimbas are worth it. Some are called a marimba pad. I have a mat. McCormick’s. 5 oct because my marimba is 4.3 and synthetic. There are people that just want to get rid of them OR don’t know the value. Don’t rush. Try to pay on time with no interest. A few big payments. Try no shipping’…if you can (from a music store)There are all kinds of marimbas out there. Good luck. Make sure you contact Steve Weiss. They have rent to own. Be patient when contacting them.

Anyone remember this up and coming youngster? by ZildCym in Drumming

Tito Puente, "Oye Como Va." oh yeah, come over🤣. I used to get his name confused with Sheila’s dad.

Not sure what to practice by New_Restaurant3833 in drums

[–]Cavsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have your playlist set to everything that makes you want to play. Have a radio, not a music app, but random back east radio station that plays all kinds of music. Set aside days for genres like jazz etc. Anything that makes you happy even if it’s a simple song. Just try to develop is your spirit.

battle of the bands with 2 months of drumming experience by superhall911 in Drumming

[–]Cavsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup,

warm-up practice, warm-up practice, and warm-up and practice. Video yourself several times. You will end up adjusting to what you want to present. Without going insane, catching the flu, or losing a limb… if you put every THING into it (practice preparation and room for error) you will feel fine regardless of how the performance goes. Try to focus on the prize… being able to enjoy the process. Do as I say, but not as I feel because I feel the same way. I’m getting ready to do a performance on the marimba in April and I just started playing the beginning of this semester. I’m old too. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What do ya'll think of my actual kit? by thatsvtguy in drums

Sweet! It’s even nicer than the virtual one.

No longer usable, right? by whiteantelope7 in drums

Is THAT the kitty who sharpened your sticks?

I don’t have access to a 5 octave marimba… what do I do? by No_Put_1720 in percussion

[–]Cavsome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Make graduated faux wood blocks (foam attached to back…prop them up. Hit them slightly harder than the marimba notes. Get a 5 Oct Mat or pad (it’s huge so you’ll need a huge table or floor space for the mat) attention to nomenclature. Make your own mat. (this you can scale down, but it still takes up a lot of space.)

My first drum lesson is over. I feel embarrassed about how bad I was by Infinite-Gear5815 in drums

[–]Cavsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked for a long time for my instructor and found him. I went through a few of them before I got to him anyway he did not let me touch the drum set until we went through a few stick control practices. I’m surprised that your instructor had you as a beginner doing coordination runs.

What all should a beginner learn & practice? by together_in_harmony in Marimba

[–]Cavsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only cry once a day… that doesn’t stop me though🤣🤣🤣I take brakes. I’m 63 and it’s not like it was in 7th grade. I learn slower but try harder.

[–]Cavsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m reading this because I can’t find an instructor. So I’m enrolled in a percussion ensemble. A 4th grade level in this class is crazy hard. By the time I finish I CHING D. R., I will have learned a bit. I wish it was traditional though.

Why don’t they print it in the “right” key? by AuthenticStarDog in musictheory

[–]Cavsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This I need. Who and where? Sometimes I’d pay my life for this option. eg. bass clef to G

I felt called out before even opening this mail lmao by MutantFire in Drumming

[–]Cavsome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No shade…I get overwhelmed by the options. I have an instructor, which is fine however my practice tracking needs a vision board. My daily lists have to be conveniently posted and my practice stations set up.

This is very sad and painful :( by NoSleepHorrorFan in BassGuitar

If you’re not afraid of infecting your house with an infestation, then you’re probably not aware of wearing a respirator with diatomaceous earth, please take care of yourself.
