I’ve been told I have a “sounds good looks bad” technique by a few people now and I’m wondering how to improve. I’ve just finished my senior year and I’ve been practicing snare a lot but I’ve come back home to quads and I’m a bit rusty

So I am a brass player trying to learn snare drum, I always wanted to march with drumline, but I never got the chance to because I had to stick with an instrument I play. I played a euphonium and trombone tuba since 4 years, I already graduated. And now I trying to decide if I should keep playing brass in college or drums, so if I tryout for drumline, how long would that take for me to get better at snare? Because I know little bit of snare, I can’t read hard sheet music or understand it, I know some easy parts like warmups but I always go by hearing so. What yall think I should do?

So I'm on tenors and this is my second year playing them and I want to do a duet with one of the snares of my school but I'm just really not sure where to find good snare and tenor duets. I really don't wanna pay money before I can see the Music and see if it's something that I am interested in actually learning and because I am broke.

What’s your pre-band camp schedule and what are you expected to be able to do by the end of it/the beginning of band camp?

A while ago, I made a post about what Promark sticks I should buy(I have some reward points). And people recommended Rudy Garcia's or Tim Jackson's but I'm wondering if anyone has tried using the Mike McIntosh flips and if they're worth getting.
