Yeeeeeah, offense taken. Why doesn everyone think we Percussionists have such an easy instrument! You have to learn fingering and buzzing and blah blah blah and i respect that and u have the Alt. Sax and Baritone but we have to learn more intstruments then u could handle! ours is hard, and we have to work hard. we have to switch instruments sometimes during songs and learn them all and learn rudiments, fingering, notes, etc. in another section i named only 50 inst. we play in our band and i can name more. and our band isn't cocky. maybe we're stressed sometimes, but if drummers mess up tempo, the whole band is doomed. it messes up tempo, then notes, then rests, then ka-boom. "boo"s from audiences everywhere. and still have to learn notes, don't think we're off the hook! we have marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, timpani, chimes, etc. we work hard and we just get told off by ppl like u that call us cocky.
our band is pretty peaceful. they respect us, we respect them. they have hard instruments and so do we considering we have only 6 percussionists.
but i made State Honor Band from percussion and i really wish u would stop treating us like crap how we're so easy.
