I'm still looking for that "perfect" happy 40th birthday card for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are plenty who can do both but reading notes doesn't always mean you "get it." I've also noticed that most "drum guys and girls" really appreciate brass books. You'll usually find me at as many brass arcs as percussion arcs at Atlanta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh... when I played (or attempted to play... LOL) auxiliary percussion with Westshoremen Alumni's front ensemble, it took me a while to get used to seeing all the music on one note across the page, instead of up and down the scale like a brass score, from my marching days. The brass stuff is much easier to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brass stuff is much easier to follow. I remember in college...when I thought I wanted to teach music...having to compose in C clef for the first time. How something so incredibly simple to comprehend can make my brain melt I still am not quite clear on. But 10,422,763 notes all on one bar in some oddball time signature...no problemo.
