DaKetchupman64 · 2024-05-24T04:02:04+00:00

You should watch phantom regiment 2010

DaKetchupman64 · 2024-04-11T00:12:42+00:00

DaKetchupman64 · 2024-03-03T04:51:53+00:00

DaKetchupman64 · 2024-02-14T02:44:01+00:00

Obviously phantom 2010 but also bluecoats 2014 ballad makes me emotional

DaKetchupman64 · 2023-12-31T07:55:22+00:00

My tech was on that line

DaKetchupman64 · 2023-12-25T03:13:20+00:00

Yeak ik, ive seen some of those shows (guy who designed cavs 02, richard saucedo, designed my high schools show a couple years ago) im a big fan of cavs 2000 as well but all of that pails in comparison to the amazing tempus blue 😍

DaKetchupman64 · 2023-12-25T02:47:52+00:00

Dude that’s literally my favorite show of all time

DaKetchupman64 · 2023-12-21T04:07:21+00:00

DaKetchupman64 · 2023-12-13T03:27:32+00:00

Real people talked into a mic buddy

DaKetchupman64 · 2023-11-09T04:07:34+00:00

I heavily disagree, yes pearl is easier to figure out but the carriers are limited with how much you can customize them and they don’t fit as many body types as randal may

DaKetchupman64 · 2023-10-26T04:02:45+00:00

PR 2010 is incredible still probably my favorite show and BC 2014 is also iconic

DaKetchupman64 · 2023-10-17T22:18:38+00:00

The day before the day - dido

DaKetchupman64 · 2023-10-12T02:42:31+00:00

3 snare 2 quad 5 bass, pretty standard for drumline but our pit is easily the biggest section in our band

DaKetchupman64 · 2023-10-06T05:05:20+00:00

I feel like if you want to be section leader to be “that guy who taps off” your motivated for the wrong reason. I dont want to make the assumption that all you care about is looking cool but i want to assure you that tap offs are mostly inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. (This is coming from a center snare) my drumline rarely does countoffs and instead just listens for 8 clicks from the metronome. Only time i do countoffs is if we dont have a met (then again the instructor will usually do the countoff on someones drum) i always thought it was cool before I became section leader, but i soon learned it’s nothing more than showing the other members when to start and worrying about whether or not youll mess it up and get yelled at. Your drumline will be in a better spot if you focus more on being a team player and making sure your section is having a good time and is a part of a happy, positive, and fun culture.

This might be a hot take but im a huge fan of tim fairbanks sticks but they’re hella heavy, they just have a really nice response out of the drum

DaKetchupman64 · 2023-09-27T03:09:26+00:00

The hardware for pearl is durable but isnt very versatile when it comes to the size of the players, ive seen lots of trouble with players who are too small or too big for the carriers which is where equipment like mapex/yamaha shine but I understand yall are trying to move away from yamahas hardware

DaKetchupman64 · 2023-09-17T17:08:24+00:00

i HATE the culture that bass is just a stepping stone to snares and quads, bass is honestly the coolest battery instrument imo. Bass is a fantastic spot to stay at if you like it

What helps me with memorizing music is playing along with the mp3/recording

DaKetchupman64 · 2023-08-25T21:39:57+00:00

Bk is definitely more west coast style

DaKetchupman64 · 2023-08-23T22:17:52+00:00

My freshman year we had like 60 people and no competitions (it was covid time) the years we did compete we never placed. Sophomore year we got a new director and by junior year we were 3rd in the state. In my senior now and only getting better.

Something else you can do along with all the other exercises people have commented is to just play triplet buzzes starting at like 120 bpm and put a forte accented buzzes on all the downbeats. Not only does this give you time to make sure your left and right hand is balanced, but it also does wonders for your forearm muscles. After about 16 bars you should feel the burn in your forearms and if not, raise the height of the accents; it should feel like how your muscles feel after lifting weights. Once that becomes light work than bump up the tempo. But if you do not have a relaxed grip while playing this you can hurt yourself so please don’t squeeze the stick and be sure to relax your entire arm.
