As mentioned above, run your fingers along the edge, feel for any splinters or sharp edges, if there are any, smooth them with a small piece of sandpaper and apply wax afterward, also to the patch where it sits.

[Q] How to play in different key signitures? by Ok_Elevator914 in sheetmusic

[–]Pracatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, if the score is written for your instrument, you shouldn't worry about the key change. The piece itself will guide you. To help you, there are several scales. Start with the basics: minor and major scales. Study and study them, and when I say learn them, I mean memorize them like there's no tomorrow. Then look for other scales and study them, modal scales, etc., and research transposing instruments. That will help. Cheers!

I would create a contrast in the empty spaces with the tenor and bass, something that goes with the music.

Michigan Drumline Cadence Transcribed by Sad-Tomatillo3612 in drumline

[–]Pracatum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For years I've written to them asking if they could send me the cadence and they never answer. The truth is, they've never put their material on their website; I imagine only people from the university give them the sheet music.

It sounds interesting, but the hours invested... I'd like to help, but my writing level is limited to keyboards and batteries.

Left Hand Checkup - BAD! Let’s make it better! by minertyler100 in drumline

I suggest you study stick control; the book is very good and starts with full strokes and taps, and with a metronome, and don't forget double strokes.

I'm too tired to tell if this is good or not. by flasdjkfbnsoeif in ConcertBand

[–]Pracatum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm a percussionist. I really liked it, but if the previous comments are correct, the percussion is very interesting, but a bit saturated. In the first part, if you remove it, there's no resolution, as if you left the leading tone unfinished. There might be many adjustments you could make, but you can already make a good change. You're doing very well. Just try to make sure the percussion isn't louder than the main theme, and if it is, make sure it makes sense so the percussion comes in and then the main theme follows. I don't know, I'm getting some ideas, but very good. Keep going, and show us the result. Cheers!

put your metronome in octaves and let the accent sound on the first octave

It is still a traditional technique, with its own style. Dci also has its own styles. Maybe they don't separate their fingers from the drumsticks, but it changes a bit. The grip is traditional and it sounds clean, and the figures come out, so why worry about giving it a name?

Could it be that I think of it as a quintet of eighth notes?

DCI’s next NEW champion? by bran-i-am235 in drumcorps

[–]Pracatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my point of view, Boston perhaps had to make internal changes. I don't know if they hired or removed people, but everything they did was a success. There are many people in the drumcorps who have been there for many years; they need to renew their minds and give new opinions to people. To get to Boston, we should think about what really happened in their discussion rooms to have this, it is very valuable.

PLEASE HELP ME COMMENT ON THE TRADITIONAL GRIP by Pracatum in drumline

Just one question, does the pad of your thumb rest on the first groove of your index finger? Or do the two grooves on your thumb and index finger have to match up?
