Why do drummers get it so hard? lol (1 Viewer)

[Meads]

hardest instrument to get high prac marks on, an instrument that u always wants to add more to (cymbals and crap), and its a bitch to even get considered to go 2 the con! lol does anybody feel me? or am i a shit talker? lol

 

[underthebridge]

[ur_inner_child]

drum like you never drummed before babeh!

we need more drummers at the con! The only person I know who plays "drums" is a damn percussionist.

PS I think its jazz orientated at the Con.... cuz thats all i hear coming out the drums at the con cafe

 

[Jazz Man Tim]

the con cafe is called the jazz cafe, so you'd expect jazz there wouldn't you?

i know you can do jazz studies on percussion, or drums. not sure about the classical bmus perf tho...

i regret not doing music for my hsc...
there is a tavis drum solo i heard the other day and i would have come out of retirement from drumming just to do that song for my hsc!

if drumming for the HSC is hard, try learning a MUSICAL instrument.

You guys see the drummer at 2004 encore? He played an electronic drum kit. Some funny stuff, tho not sure if it was very musical. Did have a good beat tho! :uhhuh: Very entertaining.

It's called the Music Café.

 

[ur_inner_child]

It's called the Music Café.

check the signs in the library when you study. it says to be quiet or go to the jazz cafe.

how amusing.

but who cares.

i say con cafe. i've got the "c" thing going.

 

[Jazz Man Tim]

yea Stef, thats where i was getting my info from anway...

Jazz Cafe
Music Cafe
Con Cafe

who really cares, tis a cafe with music

 

[pristine]

i've finished piano grades 2 years ago, and i also play drums and guitar.
& i'd agree, i wouldn't be able to get anywhere with drums despite the fact that i've played for years. altho, i AM doing a traditional drum solo for the HSC. i think that THAT'S the way to go if ya gonna do somethin' on the kit. they'd much prefer that to a metal head thrashing methinks.

HA HAAAAA ! sok it to 'im, boyoH~!!!!!!!!!
Drums arent a real instrument, their more like a tool - a special magical kind of tool that requires a tool to use 'em! People say 'whoa man hes such a mad drummer (dude)" - and all it takes is just a lot of random hitting. A drum solo in the jazz era used to mean something - the drummer had to elaborate on ideas, keep the listener interested and STILL maintain the rhythm- now all the drum solos I hear in the middle of rock songs, the rhythm stops, they just hit randomly, fisrt slow then building up to a frenzy of randomly stupid whacks and then eventually the other instruments just sort of flop back in and the 'music' continues!

you better go andlisten to some of these old school jazz drumming your talking about...Buddy Rich for instance, he did not maintain the tempo or rhythm really...as a matter of fact on countless occassions I have counted his solo's, and he does not even maintain a steady tempo! I'm more confident now with my drum performances then i was when i posted this thread...so we will see whether drums is a musical instrument when i get band 6 in music 1, majoring on drums

You my friend, are clearly not a musician yourself if you believe that convoluted statement to be the truth. All musical instruments are tools, the very word INSTRUMENT implies that. If it is because of the 'percussive' motion required to play the drums that makes them less musical, then you can rule out the piano as an instrument as well. IT USES A HAMMER ACTION TO PRODUCE SOUND. Please, go get a clue before making unfounded generalisations such as the above, as it would appear you are the only tool around here.
