Any one else who plays non-trap set percussion?
« on: February 15, 2010, 02:03:31 PM »
By this I mean mainly orchestral and marching season percussion. Marimbas, vibraphones, tenors, auxiliary percussion, all that good stuff.

I've really been getting into 4-mallet technique lately because I love playing Marimba, although I'm a much better Snare player.

In high school, I was in marching band and was in our pit, playing mallets and various other percussion (can-drums, congas/bongos, bass drum, etc.) but as I grew up through high school, I picked up drum set. In college, I focused more on tympani since our concert band didn't have a dedicated tympanist, so for the last 7+ years of my life, I've been playing tympani in many many places (college concert band, local community band).

That's cool, I really do love trap set and would love to play it all the time, but percussion by traditional definition is full of so many great instruments and opportunities that most people don't even know about. It's a whole different world and I love it.

If that's dabbling, then I drool and fall over. Is there any instrument you don't play Austin? Seriously though that's awesome, Marimba is easily my favorite Percussion instrument (although certainly not my best).

ahaha, I consider it dabbling, I only play it for marching band which is a few months every year (and never again for me :( ) but there's a lot of downtime and I just play it when I'm bored. I don't play... wind instruments. Anything you blow into I can't do. Or won't do, I've never tried haha
But hell yeah, marimba's my fav percussion to play too
