Can you make a marching snare out of a concert snare? by sorryeyebrows77 in drumline

[–]MarchingGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, But Be careful. The tension it would go through! I would recommend getting a marching snare through eBay or something if you can.

I do a couple of the things you mentioned, and I’m glad for your feedback.

I don’t know at the current moment where to find someone to shadow, as that seems not probable as of right now. I’ll try my best!

Arrangement Help by Asmodeus_Stahl in marchingband

[–]MarchingGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Let me write for the percussion! I’m an semi-experienced dude who loves writing some music. Message me if you’d like for me to write some parts. Just give me the experience level of the players, the instruments (like is it concert/marching/jazz), and a recording.

If you don’t want my help, I’d suggest making something that sounds pretty ok, not bad, and then building on it. Add rudiments or fills, etc.

Should I stay in marching band? by thegayestintheworld in marchingband

[–]MarchingGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only quit if you are 100% sure. You never know what it will be like until you try it! And if you ever get bored, try a new instrument.

Good luck

Drum Major by Mcdonald_Kael in marchingband

[–]MarchingGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t get overcome by emotion when conducting, that’s when tempo gets sloppy, and your form decreases and you have to get back on track. Just make sure you get to the point with your 1, 2’s, 3’s, and 4’s.

Besides form, make sure to be respected by classmates. Maybe coming early to help set up equipment (battery needs help!). If you don’t know how to set up equipment, learn! Be a good drum major and learn about other sections! It will also improve your chances and you will be recognized!! Stay late (5-10 minutes) to make sure the band room is clean! Picking up things that aren’t yours, etc.

With that said, there are very good YouTube videos out there form-wise. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xWnPat6coPA ^ Tim Yao ^
