    I decided to listen to all the pieces I wasn't able to play because of covid and I am so sad now...

    I'm playing the snare part for our wind ensemble on this. This is like Ravel's Bolero on steroids.

      Just repeat the measure 60x…or until existential crisis. That’s what I’m doing

      @@AskChristopherP I managed to make it groovy with our drum set player and the concert was successful.
      Now we're working on Lincolnshire Posy and Music For Prague 1968, and I got the timpani part for both.
      Cheers!

      So is it whtever the single stroked 3 note drag is
      Our ensemble is getting the music soon and i’m trying to find out if we need our good snares on it or not because our next best can only do a drag
      Also is mallets done with 4 because those same 2 snares r the only ones who can play with 4 mallets and one of them is the best set player in the district
      And for set i’m the next best but i can only play swing 3/4, any 4/4, any 2/4 and any 6/8 or 12/8 i can’t play 3/4 tho and he’s playing insane fills every 5 seconds whilst staying in tempo

      1 day later i can play it if that’s the part
      Edit from 1 day after: snare part acquired it’s fun yet difficult when i’m shaken up from a crash cymbal falling off the strap after my last crash
