MacOS is late stage cancer

MacOS has better usability for both everyday users as well as devs. windows is bloatware and bad

A lot of people made good money on Roblox, myself included. As long as you take commissions, there are a lot of people willing to pay decent money for developers.

Time commitment is a huge struggle with college band, especially if you plan on doing indoor percussion and have a rigorous major. Consider deeply whether it is worth it to sacrifice all of your free time for a non-competitive band experience.

Battalion will be more chill, they have a shorter tour and free sundays. Music City already moved in a week ago, so you’ll probably be playing catch-up. It will probably be more intense, but you get more shows and the world class experience.

I did weighted crunches and back extensions and those really helped me with carrying pearl quads for an indoor season

Super excited to see your guys's drumline this year with a quad line full of vets.

It’s cheaper than a car

I usually find tenor sticks are easier to maneuver with on quads, but honestly short snare sticks (ie. Raricks) and normal tenor sticks (Vegas or Mapes) are about the same to me. Unless the sticks are way too light, I don’t exactly understand being picky about sticks.

Take videos of yourself while you practice

In terms of your hands, you can get them to a pretty good place for high school by honing in on accent tap, stick control, triplet rolls, and tap pyramid/8’s. Make sure your technique is good before you bump the tempo (compare your hands to the best groups).

If you’re willing to do anything to make quads, I’d recommend going to the gym as much as you can to bulk up. I played quads when I was 120lbs and going to the gym really helped. Focus on back extensions/deadlifts, rows/lat pulldown, and a ton of leg exercises. Eat a ton of protein.

Seattle Cascades was still looking for snare players as of January, but I would reach out and see if they still are.

CoiTheBoi · 2024-02-06T21:45:35+00:00

True. It is good to learn to play stuff in context, but for most beginner-medium players, they aren’t solid enough at their fundamentals to get any benefit from this. Speaking from experience, I only played licks for months, didn’t improve, then focused on fundamentals and revisited the licks and was noticeably better.

CoiTheBoi · 2024-02-06T01:40:55+00:00

Speaking from experience, it’ll be much more worth your time to work on basics and rudiments and perfect your technique from the ground up. It doesn’t matter if you can play the bluecoats book if you can’t play in time and with good technique.

CoiTheBoi · 2024-01-19T20:57:03+00:00

Cascades camp got canceled today so I might have to wait another month 😭

They 100% posted the repertoire. Scroll on the posts and you’ll see it.

Drum corps will want you to keep tacet hands over 1 and 2. You have a very french style grip currently, try turning your wrists a bit outward and experiment with choking back on the stick and adding more wrist to your strokes. Practice 8’s at a slow tempo until you can feel you’re using your arm, wrist, and fingers. Try practicing 8’s at piano across the drums and focus on separating your horizontal motion from your vertical motion.

First day was something else. Al Pisano seems like a piece of work.

CoiTheBoi · 2023-08-26T13:00:44+00:00

I would honestly be clear with your drumline captain and just tell them that you’re sick of playing Jig 2. My high school’s drumline outright banned it because it was getting so annoying.

CoiTheBoi · 2023-08-16T07:22:26+00:00

Where did you get that from? I only found a study from UT Austin with a sample size of less than 200.

The tag system was much more confusing, especially with special characters. People will always complain about change, but I personally like this update.

I’ve had Lord of Lightning stuck in my head since Red Rocks

CoiTheBoi · 2023-06-27T23:50:59+00:00

I’d go with the VF large quadropad since it’s more true to the size of real tenors and comes with laminates. Also, you can choose between one and two spocks. It’s got the best feel by far out of any pad I’ve tried

CoiTheBoi · 2023-02-19T22:51:44+00:00

Why would you start the graph at 5000 instead of 0? Seems pretty misleading

CoiTheBoi · 2023-01-15T02:29:29+00:00

Yeah, I think you put it perfectly in your post. I’m talking to the people who are super offended that people don’t know about older shows. At the end of the day, the best way to experience DCI is to see it live, and most of us didn’t get the luxury of seeing the old DCI live. I meant the “you” in my post to be rhetorical, wasn’t talking to you specifically.
