ok here's the situation:
I'm a saxophone player who's drumline wanna be a have about 1 year of snare background, not very good at it either, but, our school drumline sucks I could probably audition right now and make it ranking about 4 out of 5th bestas far as marching things go, anyway. I have found an interest in quads, quints, tenors, or whatever you want to call them.
so if any one out there can help me, it would very much so appriciated.
p.s. I have two books titled quad logic and modern tenor techniques, and i can't even do the basics

Email me and I will take care of you.

I can write you music, give advice on any tenor aspect, and point you in the right direction for finding your own love for the tenors. Tenor love must me found by the player in her or his own way.

As a tip, start by writing your own tenor music. In English class they don't only have you read, you have to write to apply what you've learned about writing from reading. Writing music and reading it will really help you in your walk toward the tenors because it exercises your skills from all sides. Other than that all you have to worry about is stick speed and accuracy which is very easily worked on by yourself.

Again, if you need any help, email me: unfortunatelyofficial@mindless.com

good luck

ok i see what you're trying to tell me but it's the concept of multiple drums, that's why i don't like many things that move you from a stationary set like guitar trapset, and piano

The best way to get over multiple drums is to write a rhythm and play it on one drum, then repeat it on a different drum without breaking musical flow. Another thing you can do is runs, a very simply beat, just play straight 8's or 4's while moving either up or down the drums. This allows you to start at any pace you need to and continue till you can move about the drums quickly and efficiantly. Once you've gotten the ability to move about the drums with single strokes, you can try other simple rhythms.

ok i got it. so i can play it on one drum past performance speed flawless and i need the practice of moveing from drum to drum, what should i do for that.




p.s. I need something to practice on, but my band director is to much of a jerk to let me rent out a set the tenors to practice on, and those actual practice pads are not availiable in my city and online they are too expensive for my budget, what shoul i do

for a practice pad, old mousepads on a hard surface work awsome, i use one as a snare practice pad all the time, so just get 4, and attach them to a peice of wood and lay them out like tenors, i've also done that, cuz i was gunna try out for tenors in my old schools drumline
