Does anyone have any good tips on crabwalking in 7/8? xD
We can't pause, like normal 7/8,[1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3] I think he called it 4/7...
Every beat is a step, and it's so confusing! >.<
But I'm having lots of difficulty trying to get it down.
I've tried practicing, but that failllls.
Any tips?

:/

Well, I'm in cymbals, so it might not be as helpful, but just keep your hips straight, for one. Make sure you're high enough on your platforms too. Not too high, but just a good inch or so.

Make sure also that in just a straight ling to your left or right, your correct foot is in the front. Meaning, when going right, your left foot is in front and vice versa. (this does not apply to oblique marching...)

When first starting out, dot really worry about a level head, just get your feet correct, but then once you get your feet right then perfect it.

Does that help any?

Yes, thanks.
Lawl, I'm in cymbals, too.

but I'm the base of one of our things we create, and everyone aligns off me, so I really need to get it down. :S

Thanks, nobody mentioned to me about the footing thing [I'm new to drill marching]

Awsome!

Yeah, marching tecnique mostly just comes to you after a few reps, but you do have to polish it constantly.

If there's anything else, please feel free to contact me!
