http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dYHjyaVRXQ How many bass drum are there in the solo?

seems no one understand my word ...

Q1. the above screenshot is captured from the WGI fundamrntal DVD the instructor emphasizes the UP & DOWN Motion shown in the screen shot ... I found that: 1. Right hand is comfort as it almost didn't move up & down (like an origin ...) 2. Left hand is killing me, as it moves too much, very easy to get tired ... 3. very different if adding lower body movement at the same time I just want to know if this is correct? why don't we keep both hands up & down within the same small range? million thx I'm too new to CG ...

Thank you very much for sharing your experience! months passed ... everything is fine~ 1) rifle is difficult on stablize the action for me, but it's cool !! 2) flag is fun!!! i'm practising on adding body movement ... wow!! difficult to handle both at the same time ... especially foot slide with spinning flag .... 3) rigid body ... i'm trying to attend some dance class ... but not sure which kind of dance is esp. good for CG ... (jazz?) I'm still on fire on CG! challenge & fun!! good luck for me.

still seek for [How to attach the flag to the pole]

any close shot on flag please?

It's much better than what i expect. thanks you so much for fast reply~ remaining : how to connect pole & flag ... can't wait to practice ...

seek for 2 photo shot: 1. taped rifle 2. how the flag connect the pole million thx

3M electical tape << double side tape? I'm asking any fd from foriegn country for a flag<>pole shot. and also ... how to tape the rifle ...

I've got all the gears now ... (double+ paid ) a problem comes out ... how can i attach the flag on the pole? i just wonder why the velcro tapes are exactly the same side ... and what's the use of the white circle ring ...

but i think we better learn dance & body movement from some local dancer~

i am very sure~ since i've 1st order a rifle from USA serval years ago~ thank you for the informations~ it helps a lot~ and i've got replys from the companys, a better price now~ PS: i've just receive the 3 SET DVD from WGI~ it's great for me~

i've check the price from mccormicksnet ... 2 pole + 2 flag + 2 rifle + bag + tape = US$190 but!!!! the shipping cost me US$600 ... omg!!! without the pole, it still cost $350 shipping ... -_- maybe i should DIY the pole ...

about the rifle, should we focus on a better protection one? kings & premier seems have to rubber end

i think i will buy all 8 DVDs from WGI at the same time~ becoz the super ultra expensive shipping fee ...

we're brass & battery player in our marching band ... last year, we brought a ticket to attend a camp, learn something good from a drum corps we would be the first GUARD here few years later

thank you very much for your kindness supportings~ we're planning to buy flags & rifle at this time (lower shipping cost per item) from www.mccormicksnet.com 1. Fiberglass Flag Poles is better & much suitable for us? 2. vinyl tape & glove? 3. we may buy a cavaliers 35" rifle, seems better protection, and shorter is better for beginner right? (although it looks not good as elite 3 ....)

independent program. for marching band & drum corps. not really for competition, for performance, for the future. i would say absolutely NO guards in my area. we are all 2X yrs ... (too late to start learning ...) there's no student. we are our student. we're going to spend few years to learn all the skills. it's all for the future development.

My friend & I would like to start a color guard project ... here's some question: 1.) Should we start from movement & flags > rifle > sabre in order? can we start with flags & rifle at the same time? 2.) there's no CG here, (we've got a very little experience), should we buy this DVD set from WGI? http://www.wgi.org/store/products/The_Basi...D_Set-41-2.html price good? any other choice? 3.) what pole should we need? 2 piece pole or 1 piece pole? (seems 2 piece is better for transport but i never seen anyone selling it ...) 6 feets is good for beginner? fiberglass or aluminum or plastic pole? 4.) what flags should we buy? what size? what texture/material? 5.) about rifle (i have a 36" cavaliers, seems good) 36" or 39" ? which model ? 6) where to buy? for international shipping i brought a rifle from this shop few years ago => http://www.swbandproducts.com/store/home.php i found this shop is quite cheap today => http://www.bandshoppe.com/catalog/productL...les_Accessories 7.) most important, anything we miss? We're going to bring CG in a no CG place Please kindly give us some advise. million thx

all of you using real tenor for practise?

my concern: 1. quiet - i can play it loud coz of neightbour matter ... (i've a remo snare pad, which i think is quit loud but still fine) 2. size - i play on a yamaha corp field quint QT-813F, i think it's smaller than a pearl quint. should i practise on a small pad or large pad? here's all the product i can find on web: Mike Stevens ModQuad: Modular Interlocking Quad Rehearsal System Vic Firth HeavyHitter Quadropad HHPQL Vic Firth HeavyHitter Quadropad HHPQS Xymox Vega Marching Tenor Pad XYM-XPQ6V Yamaha PPQ-550/PPQ-500 Dynasty Quad Pad A21-DE20 Promark PT5 Question: a. does laminates very important? to what extend? more stable rebound? b. i think the yamaha one is great except it's sextet not quint ... does it matter? c. i'm not sure about the size that i should buy, any advise? d. any better suggestion? thx my choice seems to be Promark PT5 ...

i'm lost, what's means switchable bottom and top head? the whole snare up-side-down?? BTW, how can you setup your snare in that way in avator pix? i have a yamaha Sfz too, but couldn't figure it out ...

i wonder if anyone understood my english ...

i've brought the "king of drumming" recently have some confusion on HEMEOLA 1. tenor cross-over i'm not sure about the cross-over. sometimes: it wrote "cross-over", but actually i didn't have to cross-over & vice versa how to determine the cross-over is right on left or left on right? i have watch some video, it seems not a MUST to keep the stick on the last drum you hit?!! (really?) 2. about the conducting why there're some people said conducting HEMEOLA in 3 against 4? do they mean duple on right & triple on left? how about the 4th beat? 3. are there many version of HEMEOLA? i'm just practising on the blueDevils one. thx

i found that the factory suggestion on sfz ms9214 is : batter side on D5 snare side on B4 but ... with the very similar pitching on 2 of sfz snare the texture are different ... one thick and other thin how to fix this?
