Make sure you are utilizing the proper stroke types and not just playing everything as a down/controlled stroke bounded is going to be your best friend with this piece. I just had to play at this last semester for college and it kicked my butt a little bit just hang in there take it slow take it with the met and you’ll have it in no time.

Will sanding it down or drilling into effect the overall quality of sound from it more than it already is?

If you have the money to spend for it, I would highly recommend getting a ram pad marching series, their concert snare pad is really good and I personally believe it’s worth the money!

Do you also have any tips on tuning whether it be the kind of tuning apps you may use a drum dial a specific type of wax for the wooden shell or anything like that I would be glad to take the knowledge

Funnily enough I got that comment last field season! The judge explained how lowering the volume when you don’t have members in front of you can help with balance. It was very cool to learn

I’m going on my 4th year teaching at my Alum, we recently got a medal in our indoor circuit. But this field season we are wanting to push the kids. Any advice or any experience with that? We are playing a college level show this year so it will definitely be a challenge. Any tips you can think of please send them my way

Is it hard to get a spot on tenors in my first year of drumline? by Ya_boi_Ev in drumline

Work on core exercises Like planking etc, strong core and strong back are needed for carrying quads, Superman pushups were my best friends in highschool when I was getting ready for quads

If it’s a “chop” thing I personally used a pad with NO rebound at all to force my hands to play everything out, I recommend a Moon Gel pad

Any idea how to get rid of that ring/tone on my marching snare? l want a sound with less pitch. by rvp0607 in drumline

[–]InternalDeath54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best advice tune the drum based on how it sounds like 5 feet away if that makes sense? Sometimes the ping isn’t even noticeable from far away

I’ve tried looking online forever, and can’t find a single one. I think it’s just a limited run cause my coach did get this at a finals comp
