    Default Drumline drummers, show yourselves!

    So do we only have set players in here? Man, out of 37 new members, I would have thought at least a couple were in drumline.

    Well....im my opinion, if your on a drumline you are a marching percussionist.....unless you can play the whole set, your NOT a drummer

    oo snack!
    put that in pie and bake it
    When drummers are away from their instruments, which is quite often, they often resort to air drumming. Although often distracting to others, playing air drums provides drummers with a mental practice session that can help a great deal.

    ARE YOY FREAKING RETARDED!!! any one can go get a drumset, practice for and hour, go to a grage and start a band. then your a drummer.

    To beable to play verry skillfuly, while running around a football frield. Also sounding clean with 3-8 other people. thats being a percussionest.

    so dont bull **** about being a drummer, becouse bring a drummer is not as fofilling as being a percussionest.

    you get no enjoyment, no beautiful sound my banging on your kit (aka: being a drummer)

    But grab a Marimba, or some vibes and there you have beauty, and then can you call your self a percussionest.

    yes...that's exactly what im saying.....there is a diff in percussionists and drummers that ppl don't always see...i meant no dissrespect to either one i simply was trying state that their was a difference.....and what you said about drummers can go both ways...it takes a great deal of skill, prac, and talent to do well at either...it's just that each thing takes diff kinds of skills

    and being a drummer can be just as fullfilling if done well....it just depends on the person and what they enjoy more

    I worked at a theme park one summer as a drummer in a "clown band". There were 12 players (10 horns, 2 drums:bass & snare). I played the snare drum. THAT was a challenge! 100+ degrees, doing choriography, rolling around on hot pavement, and playing a marching snare all at the same time. I bet I lost 20 pounds ! Not to mention I had to dress as an Fn' clown !!! SHEEEZ !

    If it wasn't for drumline and drum corps I wouldn't be the set player I am today. I have a marching snare and a set of tenors and I play them all the time. Here's a little taste of drum corps stuff for those who haven't ever seen it.

    Damn, that's nice! Is that you playing? I haven't seen that little baby drum before. Of course I've never been in drumline. Is that newer or has it always been around?

    No that's not me, I wish. That little drum is a 6" tom aka spock. My tenors have two of those. Yeah now try that while running around with 4 or 5 guys and making it sound like one person playing it.

    that's awesome......one time in marching band we were waiting for the football players to come out and some one told the quad player to play something cool but he sucked so they told me to put down my trumpet and play the quads...so i did....and it blew the crap outa the normal quad player...pretty pathetic when the first trumpet is also the best drummer in the band...

    ok, so i think that really... anyone who has enough talent to play the set or to march is a drummer... i mean not everyone plays set but they can still be a drummer... i play both set and drumline and i think that whether it be drumline or set in a band they are a drummer! JC DRUMLINE RULES!
    I've had it with your no talent, wannabe gangster ass! You wanna prove once and for all that I'm better than you? Strap up!--drumline

    our drumline doesn't do skanks!!! so get out!! thanks... lol

    you may try to look like me... but you ain't never gonna play like me-- drumline

    exactly..im surprised it took so long for someone to establish that.....if you play only drums youre a drummer, if you play drum and other intruments (marimba, crash cymbals, vibes, whatever) youre a percussionist
