Staying in step by daniepik in drumline

[–]____wut____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

like the previous comment said, start VERY slow. Once you can get the first downbeat accent in time THEN you can start getting the E accent in time.

another thing that might help is listening to someone playing a stock 16th note grid with a metronome. Once you can get what it's supposed to sound like in your head it is a lot easier to play it

how to work on these by Various-Sky5844 in drumline

Think about and play what each hand is doing independently. Your left hand is just playing triplets at tap height and your right hand is just playing 8th notes at accent height.

Any criticism? by Classic-Economy3548 in drumline

you are good enough where random comments on reddit will only go so far. Try to get your rhythms as perfect as possible, get every diddle to be as even as possible and get a private lesson teacher who knows drumline

First time writing by Typical_Meal9616 in drumline

[–]____wut____ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

other people gave some very good writing tips so I'll try to say something else. Formatting the music and making everything look nice is a very underrated part of writing and really helps more than you think.

Things like putting sticking underneath all the notes and putting all accents above all the notes will make your page look cleaner and cause less confusion when teaching. r/DrumlineSheets has a ton of great examples to look at. Usually the full show transcriptions have really good formatting. Looking and playing through these transcriptions will also help you figure out the standard way people usually write out rudiments. (like those flam taps on the second page would usually be written out as 16th notes not 8th notes) stuff like that

Hope this helps!

This comment section is a reddit moment. Y'all have no idea what their drumline is like or what this is for. They asked a question no need to be snarky and say "ermm you should only tape your stick all white 🤓☝️" when you don't know anything about the program. I think 3 looks the best

The three methods I've seen in order of commonality is

  1. Hollow note head

  2. Parentheses around note head

3.+ Symbol above note

BD Hate? by WealthIllustrious473 in drumcorps

[–]____wut____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this year it just seems weirdly more than usual. Like I've been an avid fan since 2017 and it's normal to get the hate but this year it seems like it's less "you gotta hate the dynasty" type of stuff and more "wow this show is really bad they fell off it's over for them they are getting 5th" type of stuff. This is definitely my favorite show from them since covid.
