First of all, are you learning matched or traditional?
Second, as far as what to play, I definitely suggest you start looking at rudiments. Yes, I'm talking Paradiddles, double paradiddles, sextuplets, all of those boring things that, if they're played over, and over, and over again, will help you. Or so we say. But we say it because it's true.
thanks, im trying to learn both to add more varity i hate rudiments there so boring but its gotta be done
Well ,you got to learn how to march and play at the same time.
More than likely your most important function is playing a cadence so the other folks can march in time.
Even if it's just tapping out a 4/4 quarter note while marching,you got to play it evenly and in time.
You are walking and chewing gum at the same time so to speak.
I must admit i love the sound of the marching snare
