Jake, your editing is amazing! Timing up what Chris is playing (at various speeds) with the drumline in the video is so cool and so effective. I know that takes time, and it doesn't go unnoticed!

@ApexPercussion Жыл бұрын

Oh man, thank you so much for noticing that 😂 so many hours speed ramping. I'll try it at 67% speed and it's too, slow, then 68% is too fast, so I have to split the clip and do both uggggg. Glad it works though! If Chris could just play perfectly in time without a met, that would help a ton honestly.

I love your chunking process - no wasted runs, you're making deliberate use of every practice movement, even incorrect ones. But still making it seem like it's your natural way of learning. Such trust in your passive memory after hardly any work in your memory. Phenomenal!

What do Tenuto markings mean on snare?

@jonnyeis Жыл бұрын

A tenuto is a dynamic marking under the previous marking .. a tenuto after a forte note would be mf a tenuto after p would be mp *edit* I will say in world class material it can also be a “natural decrescendo feel/effect” so it may not have a specific height but “start here with the accent and get to tap height evenly”

From someone who never marched DCI. Realistically how long would a DCI line expect it to take for a snare drummer to learn, memorize and execute this to perfection? Or is everyone usually at this level of learning ability?

@ApexPercussion Жыл бұрын

Honestly, some of the best young players can do it even faster than this, but in general, usually a 3-4 hour rehearsal. Chris just happens to be weirdly good at learning music quickly, and he was always the fastest in the line to learn stuff when we marched together back in the day.

It's good you gave yourself 25 minutes to memorize this drum break, because the break itself is almost 25 minutes long lol. One of the most overindulgent, overwritten drum features in quite some time. No question it’s a very difficult feature and the kids pulled it off amazingly, but damn, it basically took up half the show. Brevity is a lost art for some people, I guess.
