Please hit the five claps at the beginning of the opposing line up on beat! I drummed for 4 years, (or at least tried to) and I know I can do a better job on those 5 hits than he has been doing....as for the other drumming he does, I couldn't even compete. But seriously man, get it right! :wink:

- Thread starter isubeatle
- Start date
I did notice that they added a bass guitar this year. Can we request more cowbell too? Gotta have more cowbell!
This is why I really would like a free program at every game, with names and pictures. I can't be expected to know who's playing if you keep changing personnel on me. At least can you put a still shot on the video board of the current player with his latest stats?
I have no link, for it was from a first-hand source within the Music Department. Can't give his/her name, for this is pretty sensitive info. Sorry.
Of course, you realize, that if Harrison committed to us, he would likely drop from a 5 star to a 4, maybe even an upper 3 star recruit.
According to zildjian.recruits.com, HB is rated:
94 on timpani
97 on chimes
99 on trap set
Also, pearl.recruits.com and premier.rankings.com both have Barnes listed at a 104 on trap set, which I didn't think was even possible, but I trust these two sites on this issue. Especially if they've seen him play in person, as I have not. They also update the player's profiles regularly, unlike other sites.
However, even these reputable sites are likely to drop his rankings into the low 90s - upper 80s if he commits to us. We just have to get over it.
Wow! We have 4 drummers in the rotation? I know it might not seem like it now, but in a couple years we are going to be a national drumming powerhouse.
Having 4 drummers is a very good problem to have. They are all beat-makers and all bring many different elements to the band.
But the Yamaha recruit site (which sponsors ISU Groove) only had him rated at an overall 95.
This isn't about a one game thing. The director is rebuilding a national powerhouse, and that takes time.
Christopherson -- sure he had a decent game. However, my game ball goes to the Pep Band. They absolutely dominated tonight! The drummer was right on beat; hell the entire percussion section brought it. Best pep band performance I've seen since the 1999-2000 season!

Yet another "I'm on the Internet and I say I have a source that I refuse to verify with a legitimate link" post.
Do better. You've got the time.
Being a drummer I can sympathize with this drummer. When you're put into a situation where you don't have very much experience with songs it is very hard. And the fact that there are 150 songs in the book makes that even harder. When you have to play a song that you don't know or don't know the version of it's not that easy.
And honestly is it really that hard for you to do the 5 claps a little faster. I've been at all of the game this weekend and they seemed fine. A few hiccups here and there but that can be expected with inexperience. So to those of you who have nothing better to do with your time than to cut down drummers on an athletic site it's time to get over yourself.
