I play crash cyms. on the line and my whole part for two songs is just holding up the cyms for the snares to hihat or suspended cym. my arms kill after every practice. (Im a girl, im allowed to not be buff... corse... i guess thats not true cuz i play cums... i had better get me some more arm muscles) sweatdrop


as for your pains... uh, never a good thing. I would prolly let off of that arm for a wile, be nice to it if i was you.

I was experiencing soreness in my wrists and hands for a few days from playing bass drum/gong combined parts back-handed. The problem was that even when I wasn't doing anything, my hands and wrists still felt strained. It's not doing it constantly anymore, but I can't help but feel a little concerned.

As for arm soreness, it could be that you're building muscle. I felt stuff like that when I was marching trumpet and mellophone.

We had an uncommited bass drummer last year, we always gave him a hard time cuz he never showed up for anything unless we were marching field show or a parade. needless to say, hes no longer on the line. 3nodding

We have a bass drum this year who hasn't showed up for a few practices. He almost got kicked out.
