haaa i have been on snare for last 3 years 7th 8th and 9th grade first year of high school

snare rocks!!!! I`m in the 7th grade and i`m going to try ouy for drumline in high school

snare rules :0

its not all about the snare you know. you do realize that there are tenors and basses out there right? anyway, what would a drumline be without a pit?

I am a 7th graders and i wanna be in my school drumline but i need some music so i can learn how to play.

im in 7th grade 2 and i play snare i march it 2 also quads. need snare solo sheet music to learn want to get better.

Guys...Pit shouldn`t suck...If you are a a school that is well known for its musicall exellence, then pit is a gaining experience...I`m Head snare for Long Beach High School Indoor Percussion Ensemble and with out our Mallets and accesories we wouldnt have anything at all...but in the way of a snare solo book...the Best book (in my opinion) rudimentally that i have read through is "Zigadabuzz"....Once you get through that book...pic up something from Marty Hurley... or Jim Moore...i used to take from Jim Moore through elementary and middle school..I`m 18 now and a senior... He has an AWSOME solo called "Autobahn"....Last Year I was talking with Andy Sanders and he gave me one of his solos "Been Jammin` ".....its pretty intense for the softshoe fan..any questions just email me...

also remember.....Practice doesnt make perfect but its a hell of alot better than not doing a da.. thing.......Practicing gets you close to perfect..i have been playing since i was 5 so thats 13 years....i havent performed a piece Perfectly EVER...always room for improvement.....so if you start goofing around, the next guy is getting better...

does anyone know a site that i can go on to learn how to play the snare drum

realy, i,m gonna be in highschool and theres no way i,m playin some f,n mallets. Snare all the way

real percussionsts try hard at all percussion insturments, did you know Jim Casella makes more money off of tamborine performances than marimba or snare?

you wanna hard snare solo? play Africa Hot

hey guys im a freshman too i just got a 1 for uil on an awsome snare solo called Festival Drummer its awsome and yall should check it out its old school

umm..i was reading some of your responses on snare solos and such. i have to agree with the person who said snare isn`t everything...every percussive instrument is just as important as the other...wouldn`t it look funny to see a drum line w/out a bassline..lol i know i would be confused...i played "And the Kitchen Sink" for my solo last week, made a 1....that solo is out of "The Rudimental Cookbook" and like sam says..that`s a great book for any snare drummer..advanced or beginner...neways...keep drumming guys/girls....oh yeh.. Tenors all the way babe!!! haha peace

Hey guys, I was reading some of these posts as well. Personally I think snare sucks but thats only because I marched Tenors. But I did audition for snare my sophmore year but decided tenors were cooler. Anyways, its not always about playing the most "badass" stuff. What good is cheeze 5 pattaflam and some oldschool fat 32nd notes when you can`t play them the best you possibly can. If you are looking for Tenor music or some kickin rudiment warmups I have the Cavaliers audition books for Frameworks, 4 Corners, and Spincycle. Frameworks is really fun. Loved that audition and show

Anyways, you can contact me on my AIM: TapAccent05

also, build your chops (forearms) on your "easy" stuff by playing into a pillow. It really helps a lot more than you will think.

oh also...
who ever said
"freshmen snair section leader"
you, obviously have no pride in yourself...because 1 you are lying...how do we know? you cant even spell the name of your own instrument...how sad
