Yay! Drumming is fun. I picked it up quite a few years back when I first joined band, and it was really boring, but that's because I never got to play set.
 
St rocks, I love it. I can take a bit of drum line but not a lot. I appreciate it solely for some of the more complex rolls. I just can't deal with how structured it is.
 
I've played a bit of drums... but never the actual drumline. I never really took the time to learn all teh different rolls and beats.. flams and all that stuff, you know? I play a bit of set every now and again, just kinda messing around.

It was pretty neat one day at summer band. (I was a staff member, not a student! ^-^) Three flute players (myself and two of my bandmates) were playing tumpet, trombone, and drums (set) to Gonna Fly Now. (The Theme from Rocky) It was pretty cool stuff, considering we could actually do it. Hehe, not that we were very good, but hey, it was a blast!
 
Imagine so. Sounds like a cool time. I wish my Jazz band would do Tank! sometime, that'd make me happy.
 
Have any of you heard some of the jazz/funk charts by Victor Lopez? My jazz band played a tune called "Phunky Speakin'" a few years back. It was a wicked kickin' chart. Lotsa slap bass involved, which sounds really cool. (Example: The Seinfeld theme...or is that popping? Can't remember...)
 
I dunno. I'm petty sure, I don't take much notice of who wrot any particular piece.
 
My parents started me on music early. Back when I was about 4, school was easy and really boring me, and I was playing up a lot, so they tried a heap of things: ballet, calisthenics, etc, which I didn't really like. Eventually they tried piano (by this time I was 5) and I liked it so much I started violin six months later. That's almost 10 years of piano now, and I'm very good on both instruments (violin is better). I spent a year on flute and a couple on recorder, and I've been teaching myself guitar on-and-off through this year. Mostly through tabs. I have perfect pitch, that helps XD

Perfect pitch??? O_o *is jealous* That's wicked awesome. I'd give almost anything for perfect ptich, but then again, I guess it would really bug me in ensembles, when no one plays perfectly in tune all the time. But way cool...it would certainly help me with sight singing! ^_^
 
LOL, my sister and I both have perfect pitch (she's a violin teacher). My brother? I think he has learned pitch, not sure though.
