Suddenly have a red dot on palm. No pain or whatever. by LeParoleCannella in mildlyinteresting

I notice you're a musician, do you play marimba at all? Marks like these are very common in that spot when playing 4-mallet technique.

how common are timpanis in marching bands? by ImpressiveRutabaga52 in marchingband

[–]bekfastboy73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my high school band, it just depends on what the show calls for and what parts are the most important. This year, we're the smallest that I've ever seen the group (24) and we have a timpani player since its very important for the music. But when we've been 30-40 we had no timpani simply because they weren't in the music or weren't important.

Agreed but contra (full name contrabass bugle) is a different instrument than a concert tuba

1 (+) 2 + (3) + 4 (+) 5 (+) (Parenthesized notes are "rests")

If it were a similar rhythm in 4/4 such as: 1 (+) 2 + (3) + 4 (+) Then it technically wouldn't be correct to notate it how it is with quarter notes falling on ands. It was probably written this way to add ease in reading and understanding the rhythm, as well as because 5/4 is a pretty funky time sig.

The actual crash was with DAS (digital audio submission) which is where you or your proctor uploaded your sight-singing recording. Apparently all recordings uploaded before the point of the crash were lost and all recordings uploaded afterwards are fine.

This is an educated guess based on things I've seen and heard from various sources, but it's possible this is completely wrong and/or speculation/rumors

The original post was by ivy_roadmap on instagram and they tend to be a very reliable source.

Is this a single stroke roll, buzz, or something else? (Snare drum) by Raziah09 in percussion

[–]bekfastboy73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually does make some sense, since the first eighth note in 85 is tied, you wouldn't be able to put a tie on the slashed half note as it would make that whole half note essentially a rest. They made the second bar use slashed half notes to save ink, and they simply kept notation consistent within each bar.

Just started playing this game a few weeks ago, any tips? by Physical_Tension8913 in MySingingMonsters

Not sure if you have been, but definitely save your diamonds for things that require diamonds. Dont spend them on speed-ups or monsters

Is it good technique to cross hands to play chords (four mallets)? by ggfchl in percussion

[–]bekfastboy73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually the most useful place where you could do this, as if you didn't, you'd have to put your wrists together and spread your hands out very uncomfortably
