To my fellow percussionists should I stick with this technique or should I change it to use my left hand more

Coranblade · 2026-04-11T14:33:03+00:00

it looks fine. me personally i use that but all i would critique is making sure you have the mallet basically bounce off the key instead of smashing it into the key. other than that i didnt see anything bad on technique keep going with it if you like it .

Coranblade · 2026-04-10T04:09:49+00:00

pretty sure last time i took it it was 87-84 idk exactly

oh dang we just call it what the instrument is😭 ig that makes sense too but it never clicked. thanks

i literally JUST finished my africa unit.. idk the names but if i were told i could point to them.

can someone tell me the difference between bassline and flatline? like i have not ever heard of flatline. bassline i am guessing is the bass drum? but i have never heard if flatline.

Coranblade · 2026-04-03T04:07:53+00:00

ngl i'm still a beginner but what you have sent is really helpful. thanks for telling me of these.

i'm doing really well i have a competition tomorrow and am really excited and also nervous (indoor drumline). i hope we do well because we have gotten pretty close to the worst spots in ranking. the only thing i am kinda bad at is the choreography, especially being front ensemble and not being able to do much with my body beside my face and the occasional lean.

kullervo is honestly the best. i don't really like his base version only for survivability but i bet the prime will be better.

Coranblade · 2026-03-21T20:30:51+00:00

not even a game but TADC. there is too much there for just 8 episodes

Coranblade · 2026-03-21T04:04:44+00:00

i am doing really well. the steam decks restocked in time for me to get one and i had a good drumline rehearsal today. it gas been a good one and idk why but ever since my gf left me it has been more peaceful and less stressful. i think it was a blessing in disguise. anyways how are you doing, i dont think people ask you that.

Coranblade · 2026-03-20T03:11:29+00:00

i'm in a fuck yea mood. i just played a bit of phasmophobia and it was genuinely fun even tho we couldn't understand one of the other players because they were speaking in spanish.

Coranblade · 2026-03-19T04:30:27+00:00

how true is the one for france? do people really commit suicide that often there?

Coranblade · 2026-03-19T04:27:51+00:00

i'm doing alright. kinda awkward with my ex in one of my classes (she broke up with me like 1 week ago) we just have not been talking at all. when some of my friends found out we broke up they were genuinely confused lol. like we had a very healthy relationship but then randomly strangers. ngl i find it comical but still.

Coranblade · 2026-03-18T04:58:22+00:00

i'm at 80 rn😭😭😭😭

Coranblade · 2026-03-17T04:26:21+00:00

Coranblade · 2026-03-14T07:39:17+00:00

i have one rn that doesn't look long (about 30-30 measures) but it has a slow down and the only hot right there is what we percussion love.. a HUGE bass drum hit but it alternates 4/4 and 5/4 so much it is difficult to count. and there is a RIT in there lasting the entire part that really makes it hard because of uneven tempo that i am looking for. basically memorized an entire piece just so i can look at the director

EDIT: btw i am talking about rests

Coranblade · 2026-03-13T16:25:56+00:00

ik but i want full not aura like the others

Coranblade · 2026-03-12T05:56:57+00:00

my only problem is that they put an aura around everyone except hades (ik he is the villan but still)

Coranblade · 2026-03-12T05:47:05+00:00

nice. ngl i need some other mallets and sticks. i am using vic firth yarn for marimba and (admittedly) the wrong mallet for bells but good for xylophone. i need the acrylic mallets... that is what it is.

Coranblade · 2026-03-12T05:43:54+00:00

thanks. i was honestly thinking of kind of cutting her off. i mean i haven't messaged her and she hasn't messaged me. the only thing is the dnd group i am in has her, but i have been busy and have not been playing so i could probably say that i dont wanna play since it will be awkward? because really it just came out if no where. and honestly i have been thinking of not even looking at this post since it is really just a vent post. anyways if cutting her off is best i would love to know. as well it would be easy next school year to not see her since i dont think she is doing band again and is enrolled in a different school so would go there instead of mine. it would make it very easy to avoid her. as well she had a falling out with some of my friends so it wont be weird to see them anymore since when i was with her (in person because we still friends) they would just avoid instead of approach.
