Any questions regarding drumming--rudiments, fills, beats, reading music, tabs, other topics. Any questions regarding drums--buying, tuning, etc. Please do not flag questions as "private". To do so prevents others from benefiting from the answer. For this reason,I will not answer private questions. | |

I can answer questions on any marching or symphonic percussion instruments. I can give ideas for pit setups, battery setups, practice procedures, or anything else marching or symphonic percussion-wise. I can pretty much cover all percussion categories but I am not as strong as I`d like to be in latin and african percussion. Marching percussion is my forte. PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME HOW MUCH A VINTAGE DRUM OR MALLET INSTRUMENT IS WORTH. I AM NOT AN ARCHIVER. ASK A LOCAL MUSIC STORE FOR THIS. Thanks! | |
