Been trying to get back into music so like anyone else, I picked banjo back up. As in I'm truly trying to learn it. Which is hard when you're stubborn and already have a grasp on music in so many ways but what you need for banjo (like, say, remembering any scale other than C cuz I was a trumpet player). I did jazz for 6 years and I only know the C scale.

Anywho, slowly learning Coal Eyed Birds but its hard cuz there's guitar over some of the banjo parts and I'm shit at learning by ear. Catch me in a year when I try again and maybe get a measure or two further.

Hearing loss sucks. Tinnitus sucks. Wear ear protection kids (and adults - I have finally started wearing ear plugs to concerts now that I'm in my 30s and dealing with consequences).

actually im trans bc when i was like 7 i was told i couldn't play the drums in guitar hero bc i was a girl so i decided not to be one out of spite

[mcsiggy]

Imagine you're in middle school band class and your teacher asks you and your classmates if anyone wants to use their mp3 player to play a song before class ends. no one does anything until this small quiet girl from percussion takes her ipod out to play a song.

Then the song Chop Suey! By System Of A Down and the girl looks like this;

Because she thought it was a good song to play.

SO MARCHING BAND CHAMPS HAPPENED...

MY BAND GOT 3rd PLACE WITH A SCORE OF 79.2 FOR SCSBOA. ITS BEEN A WEEK BUT IM STILL CONFLICTED ON HOW I SHOULD FEEL. (marching season over??? how??? why???) VERY HAPPY VERY SAD VERY CONFUSED OVERALL

[the-kneesbees]

the freshman wind players are so silly

[ravenlikesbooks]

Which instrument I think each side would play (and why)

because I'm a bored band kid who has plunged back into hyperfixation

Logan: Clarinet. It's sleek and professional. While flutes have the reputation for being perfectionists (and let's be clear, we are), clarinets are close behind. They're also one of the core instruments in a concert band, loathe as the other sections can be to admit it.

Roman: Trumpet. Loud and bold, constantly competing with the saxophones for dominance. If a trumpet plays even a little bit in a piece, you will hear it. There is absolutely no missing them.

Patton: I'm gonna place him over in the euphoniums. The low brass is the backbone of the band, and the goofballs too, but euphoniums tend to be a lot more.. tamed than trombones and tubas (at least in my band).

Virgil: Percussion. Everyone forgets about percussion, even the percussion. A lot of band class is spent with the percussion just chilling in the back half asleep while the other sections work out their issues, and that's just how they like it. Despite this, they are essential. Literally nobody would be able to keep tempo without them, even though they're supposed to be counting.

Janus: Flute. I say this as a flute player: pretentious ass bitch. Flutes like to pretend to be calm and collected, and are gracefully floating above the rest of the band. Despite this, they can be the most chaotic people… just not when the band director is watching. Pretentious perfectionist teachers pets (affectionate)

And finally… Remus: Alto saxophone. CONSTANTLY competing with the trumpets to be the biggest, loudest, most obnoxious section. Why did I put Remus on saxophone and Roman on trumpet as opposed to the other way around? Simple. Saxophones have reeds, and reed players hate changing their reeds. They will play on the most damaged reeds imaginable. A saxophone in the current senior class at my school literally played on half a reed for an entire six months. It was almost completely black from mold. They are TERRIFYING!

disclaimer this is all just for fun please be nice (': also if you play one of these instruments and I insulted your section I'm very sorry but this is all in good faith and I literally called myself a pretentious ass bitch so...

Writing Notes: Percussion Instruments

The percussion family of musical instruments - consists of membranophones and idiophones.

Membranophones - (or drums) are instruments that make sound when a player strikes a membrane that is tightly stretched over a frame.

Idiophones - instruments that produce sound when the entire instrument vibrates in response to being struck.

Percussionists play their instruments with their hands or with beaters, a collective term describing drumsticks, mallets, rods, or wire brushes.

Types of Membranophone Percussion Instruments

Nearly every genre of music features some form of drumming, and there are innumerable types of drums across world cultures, including:

Congas: Congas are tall, deeply-pitched hand drums that stand on the floor or on study chrome hardware.

Bongos: Bongos are tall hand drums that are smaller than congas and produce a higher pitch.

Timbales: Timbales are small metal-frame drums that are mounted on a stand and played with beaters. A timbale player usually has two drums, plus cowbell and perhaps a woodblock, as part of their kit.

Mridangam: Thought to be the oldest type of drum still in use, the mridangam has two drum faces—a left face and a right face. Traditional mridangam players apply a mixture of flour and water to the left face to lower its tone when playing.

Tabla: The tabla is the most common percussion instrument in traditional Indian music, typically paired with a sitar. Tablas consist of two drums—a "male drum" that produces a bass tone and a "female drum" that produces a tenor tone.

Djembe: A djembe is a goblet-shaped African drum that a player holds between their knees and plays with their hands.

Talking drum: A talking drum is an hourglass-shaped drum with drum heads on either end. Talking drums get their name from the notion that they can mimic sounds of human speech.

Ngoma: A ngoma is a barrel-shaped African drum that sits on the floor. The drummer strikes it with large wood beaters.

Orchestral bass drum: Similar in origin to the bass drum found in a standard drum set, but much larger in diameter, the classical bass drum hangs from a frame. The percussionist strikes it with handheld mallets.

Tenor drum: Higher-pitched than a bass drum but lower pitched than a snare drum, a tenor drum is round and of medium depth. The drummer plays it with a mallet or a drumstick.

Side drum: The term "side drum" is used in classical music to describe a snare drum, usually with its snare disengaged. Side drums feature prominently in most contemporary classical music, whether or not they're part of a standard drum set.

Bodhran: A bodhran is a traditional Irish drum that sometimes finds its way into orchestral music, particularly when composers hail from the British or Irish isles. A bodhran resembles a tambourine without any jingles. The player strikes it with a small beater. Most bodhrans still are made with real goat skins.

Timpani: Also known as kettle drums, timpani sets consist of massive drums that stand on the floor in front of the player, who strikes them with felted mallets. Timpani pitches can be adjusted using a foot pedal, which loosens and tightens the drum head.

Kick drum: Also known as a bass drum, a kick drum is a large, deep-sounding drum that sits on the floor and is played with a foot pedal.

Snare drum: A bright, trebly drum that features metal snare wires running beneath its lower drum head. Typically, a drummer plays the snare with their non-dominant hand. Larger, body-mounted snare drums are a mainstay of marching band music.

Floor tom: A deep, low-pitched tom-tom drum that stands on legs near the drummer's dominant hand.

Rack toms (sometimes called a hi tom and a low tom): This pair of tom-tom drums hangs above the kick drum. They produce a higher-pitched sound than the floor tom.

Tambourine: Tracing back to the Middle East, a tambourine can be part of a drum set, either mounted as a standalone instrument or placed atop a hi-hat. A tambourine can have a drum head or it can exclusively produce sound via its zils (or jingles), which are metal discs mounted around the tambourine frame. Some players opt for a pandeiro, which is a close relative of the traditional tambourine.

Surdo: An unpitched Brazilian variant on the bass drum, played with handheld beaters.

Types of Idiophone Percussion Instruments

Idiophones produce sound when a percussionist strikes them, causing the entire instrument to vibrate. There are many enduring idiophones throughout the world of music, including:

Cymbals: Most cymbals are curved brass discs appearing in a wide array of sizes. Drum kit cymbals include a hi-hat, ride cymbal, crash cymbal, and splash cymbal, each mounted on a cymbal stand and played with beaters. Orchestral and marching band crash cymbals appear in handheld pairs; they produce sound when a player slides one cymbal past the other. Finger cymbals, as their name implies, are small enough to be worn on the player's fingers.

Crotales: Also known as antique cymbals, crotales are made up of a collection of small pitched cymbals and may be found in everything from classical music to 1970s progressive rock.

Claves: Wooden sticks that click together to produce an unpitched sound. They are a mainstay of salsa music.

Temple blocks: A series of pitched woodblocks popular in classical ensembles.

Agogo: An unpitched metal bell (or pair of bells) often featured in samba music.

Ganzá: An unpitched metal rattle developed in Brazil and popular in Brazilian samba.

Headless tambourine: This instrument is a tambourine without a membrane. It produces sound via the vibration of the frame and jingles.

Slit drum: Also known as a log drum, the slit drum is not a membranophone despite its name. Rather, a slit drum is an idiophone made from a hollowed log.

Udu: An untuned idiophone resembling a hollow jug.

Cajón: Originating in Peru, a cajón (or cajón de rumba) is a hollow wooden box that usually features internal snares on one side. A player sits on the cajón and strikes it with their hands (and occasionally beaters).

Gong: A suspended metal disc found in both Western classical and Eastern traditional music. Orchestras particularly favor a type of gong known as a tam-tam.

Maracas: Originating in Venezuela but popular throughout Latin American music, maracas are wooden shakers with handles.

Castanets: Castanets are handheld wood idiophones that come in pairs. They make a clicking sound when the player snaps two of them together.

Güiro: An idiophone made from a dried gourd. Typically, a percussionist plays güiro by rubbing wire brushes against it.

Shekere: A dried gourd covered with a netting of beads. Originally from West Africa and popular in Latin American traditions, it produces sound when shaken.

Tubular bells: These are pitched chimes that a player strikes with beaters.

Mbira: Also known as an African thumb piano, a mbira contains individual keys that a player presses and releases, causing them to vibrate.

Cabasa: A type of African shaker made by wrapping metal chains around a wooden cylinder.

Xylophone: A pitched percussion instrument made from wooden bars laid out like a piano keyboard, which the player strikes with felted mallets.

Marimba: A musical instrument much like a xylophone but with a greater range and resonators beneath its wood bars.

Vibraphone: An adaptation of a xylophone, the vibraphone has metal bars and a built-in electric resonator that projects the instrument's sound. A vibraphone is essentially a plugged-in metal marimba.

Glockenspiel: A smaller member of the xylophone and vibraphone family, containing small metal bars that produce a definite pitch with numerous overtones.

Steel drum: An idiophone made from a concave metal drum. The player can attain different pitches by striking different parts of the drum.

Cowbell: A hollow metal idiophone named for a similar device hung around the necks of some domestic cows.
