HylianHero Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Granted it's over but hey we have TiVo. Drink every time they make a joke about the Cavaliers and "Pressure." (My god). Every time Vanguard does a move from the 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 You're doing well, but let me explain what I really meant (and you'll understand just how petty I was being -- for the sake of sarcasm, which is a noble cause):- Every roll has a "skeleton" underneath. This is especially important for open-stroke rolls, which have a very literal metric value. For example, double strokes over a sixteenth-note skeleton = 32nd notes. Your wrists are playing 16th notes, but you are adding a second stroke twice the value of the note for the stroke. Does that make sense? Sixteenths are pretty standard skeleton. Some of the more advanced snare books will have open-stroke rolls over sextuplets (16th-note triplets) and even open-stroke rolls over 32nd notes, which is down right mean at brisk tempos. If you've ever heard a snare line that sounded like they were "shifting gears," they probably started an open roll over one skeleton and shifted to another (most often I hear from 16th note skeletons to 32nd note skeletons ... a nice element, but a little overdone these days, and often a good way to turn a clean snare line into the world's biggest slushee). Eighth-note triplet skeletons are a pretty standard way to draw criticism from other lines because everyone knows it's way easier to clean up rolls with with a triplet skeleton than sixteenths. Put it at march time and you can sound like you're at Finals form by early July. Like I said ... petty. :P This brass player is still completely lost. But that's OK, I'll take your word for it! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburstall Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) I drank each time Rondo used a show euphumism in the description of each corps. I got drunk and fell over in the first two minutes. (yes, I'm a lightweight...I don't drink much) Edited September 7, 2007 by sburstall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpet Pops Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Here's a game. Drink until Jessica Allen starts looking attractive. Oh wait, don't have to, she's already gorgeous. Don't you think Jessica Allen is a little biased toward BD's. Ah, didn't she march with BD's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
