Atlanta Quest Timpani Cam 2024 - "Drive"

I usually don't miss the stick flip I promise
Rehearsal run of the Atlanta Quest 2024 production "Drive".
Taken at Milton High School on April 14th, 2024 (the weekend before finals)
As usual, I recommend watching this with headphones or good speakers.

[@CantEven]

Incredible stuff, words simply can't do justice to the sheer technical dominance you have over the instrument, wish I could have seen it in person.
So did they also give you show crocs, or nah?

[@kwanwoolee9249]

I originally bought the show shoes they wanted, but I couldnt stand how they felt and ended up buying a black pair of crocs for the shows lol

[@CantEven]

[@majesto8487]

do you write any of your music for indoor?

[@kwanwoolee9249]

Yup! A good portion of my music is stuff I changed or added

[@electricspex8649]

Im the timpanist for my highschool and im in my freshman year, i strive to be as good as you one day. Any tips/things that helped you that you can share? Ive pretty much taught myself since middle school to play timpani and i want to increase my skillset

[@Jacob24668]

get a stool first lil bro

[@kwanwoolee9249]

Hello! One thing that helped me a lot personally when starting out was spending a lot of time familiarizing myself with the ranges of the drums. Knowing which notes can go on which drums can help a lot with figuring out how to play parts that are given to you, especially when you aren't able to get access to a set of timpani. Other than that, I would also spend enough time doing around the drum exercises and working on your technique to make it second nature to you.

[@electricspex8649]

​@@kwanwoolee9249thank you, that helps a lot

[@smellyharbin]

yeah this is ok i guess
