I've been playing violin for about 9 1/3 years, on which I play only classical. And guitar for maybe 3 years? I play mainly metalon guitar, but also some jazzier stuff and alot of impro.

 

 

 

I play guitar for fun, whereas I'm more serious with violin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note : I bought a $25 yellow Ashton (cough)crap(cough) ukelele. How good am I? :D

Cool.

Guitar, bass, euphonium, trumpet, trombone, tuba.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Methinks I play too much music :-w

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't you find it difficult playing trumpet when you play the other three? I have been [playing trumpet for about 8 years, and I find it pretty hard to switch between 'bone and trumpet, because of the difference in embouchure range. For instance, to play a C above Middle C on Trombone you have to apply the same sort of pressue as you would to play a Middle C or lower on a trumpet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeh, Ive been playing trumpet for about 8 years, I picked up drums as a second instrument about 3 years ago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yes, th Swiss Drum Corp are without doubt, some of the best show drumming performers in the world.

I haven't really been keeping up with many cores. In fact this is probably the first core video that I looked up. One day I hope to be in a core. I may think about joining a local one like one of my fellow percussionists at my school. He is our captain and he only made the cymbol line. I may be able to make better though because I am a lot better at triplets than he is.

Lol, cool. I also want to join one, but I don't there are many in England - its not the kind of thing the English do! Do you need to be abe to play using a classic grip to play snare-drum? I keep dropping the stick when I do it, its such an unnatural wrist action!

OT: Luring is sooo easy to avoid. That's what those nice signposts are for.

:XD: How can you play an instrument for 2 years an not know how to spell it? The correct spelling is not coronet, a coronet is a small crown, worn by people of a slightly lower rank than the monarch :XD: No, the correct spelling is Cornet

Lol, yeh, tthey need a lot of maintenance. My trumpet cost me 900 quid and I still don't clean it :S Works fine though, still hits those Super-E's cleanly! (can't get any higher than that at the moment)

I am leaving on a school trip on Friday to another city to play in a Jazz festival.

 

 

 

Just for fun, here are the songs:

 

 

 

Sweet Georgia Brown

 

 

 

In The Mood

 

 

 

Green Onions

 

 

 

Take Five

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are 23 or so of us playing.

 

 

 

And yeah, it is Cornet. I just checked on my ancient 45 year old case. :XD:

Awesome! Are you improvising or have you got it worked out? I always work it out cus i don't know my scales very well so if I improvise i would end up playing in the wrong key!

 

 

 

I am improvising mine, though I do have some lines that I like to play.

 

 

 

We use the E, G, and C, and all octaves of those notes.

 

 

 

I like to do variations of the main theme, just using different notes.
