I hate how there`s always one person on the drumline that never learns their stuff or practices, and brings the whole line down, and then brag about how good they are to other people. Anyone else have that kind of person on their line?

yes... both black guys on the line.... great drummers... but they have horrible practice habits, which ends up ruining it for all of us(line) cuz we have to re-teach it to them every practice........ it gets old..... fast....

yeah i hate when rehearsal is wasted

Yup yup, that kind of person is very popular everywhere. However I find the guy that is more annoying is the one that thinks he should be section leader... but simply doesn`t have the skills.

it makes me mad cuz we have practice afterschool..... so after a bad school day i like to drum and forget everything else of the day.... it always ends up being the worst part of the day for me, cuz since i am one of the cleanest with my diddles(not gloating)so i get sent off with one of the screw offs to help them......

thats the worst, when you have to help someone who thinks they dont need it.

Exactly

i have a kid on my drum line. he deserves a slap across the face. Once he destroied a $150.00 custom bass drum head! and he plays snare! dont ask!

LOL! i march bass but i banged the *funk* out of a tambouriney a few months ago with a high marimba mallet HAHAHA!

I know the feeling. Two arrogant freshman think they`re good enough to be captains. They`re decent players but have poor attitude and leadership ability.
