2000Cadet Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 and the snare drums... amiright? Apples and oranges. Snare drummers do a lot more complicated stuff than what cymbal players do, and they also play A LOT more notes than cymbal players, am I right?

Hornhoser Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Cymbals should be seen and not heard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasboot Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I think every corps should march cymbals. I respect what all of those cymbal players do and I want to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a lot easier to teach someone to hold sticks and play rhythmically than it is to teach someone how to hold cymbals, play accurately, and how to do flips and reloads.

2000Cadet Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) Too late. Your ignorance is duly noted. It's not ignorance because you don't like my opinion. Chill out. from the kids i have auditioned i find that its the snare players that have the hardest time transitioning to cymbals.It is a lot easier to teach someone to hold sticks and play rhythmically than it is to teach someone how to hold cymbals, play accurately, and how to do flips and reloads. That's probably relative to the student, but I get your point. Still doesn't change my mind though. I love what cymbals add to music and I think they're serving their purpose in the pit.

"Snare drummers do a lot more complicated stuff than what cymbal players do, and they also play A LOT more notes than cymbal players, am I right?" That statement is true ignorance.

corps8294 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Hmmm, if the cymbal line resembles the 2003 Jersey Surf's plate section; then h*ll yeah! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggab704 Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 Explain to me how that's ignorance. Any snare drummers on here who want to explain this to me? cause you are assuming playing snare because you have "more notes" is much harder than playing cymbals.
