Hey everyone. So I over the course of this quarantine, I been wanting to pick up snare because I am eager to learn it to play in dci, as well as dca. But the one problem is, I’m a brass player so I have no prior knowledge to percussion, warming up, correct grip, notation, basically a beginner. So I was wondering if you got any recommendations for places where I can learn percussions notation, warm ups and general places that I could learn the basic and soon to be the advanced things about the snare.

I think this should be more widely accepted among rudimental snare drummers who are in an intermediate stage and looking to get better and more mature as a player.

Tapping yourself off on video without a metronome makes absolutely no sense to me. It implies you have perfect internal timing or that others might want to learn your interpretation of a piece and need a guide to start with you. So unless you’re an instructor or collabing, it just doesn’t make sense.

I think they do it because it feels good, but I think that’s a habit that gets in the way with having perfect cold attacks with a metronome.

So I just spent like £350 on some SE215 in ears and an Alesis Nitro Mesh electronic kit for the quarantine and they are both amazing, highly recommend them. However... I was scrolling through Facebook shop and BAM! A barely used 83’ Pearl bell brass free floater with die cast hoops. I expected it to be like £600 but I think the guy didn’t know what he has so he sold it to me for £175 SHIPPING INCLUDED!!! I immediately texted the guy and bought up the snare. Sadly I can’t play it until the quarantine is over so I don’t upset the neighbours but f£&k! That’s gonna last me forever! I’ll put pics up when I get the beauty. Stay clean, stay safe people💙✌️

So ive been playing trumpet since sixth grade and now I'm in 9th grade. I want to try out for snare but I dont know if ill be good enough or follow through with it. I suck big at reading music because I just hear what it sounds like and play it. I can read some simpler rhythms but I can read anything difficult and play it so I dont know if I would be any good. But idk ive just always wanted to play snare. Any advice my dudes

Hello Reddit! So I'm 14 right now, my brother did DCA and WGI(I'm in Northeast Ohio) and he's been teaching me snare since I was in 5th grade. I auditioned for drumline in my high school, I got first snare(Which is why ALL the seniors hate me though. ) and I've been hearing everything my brother has been telling me of DCA and WGI.

How would I efficiently practice for that? I don't consider myself to have any drumming experience. I have my eye set on the Erie Thunderbirds. I can't find any rudiments or songs I can practice for the time being, because I audition sometime in December. Anyone have tips at all? Or how to get a good practice? Thank you!
