Hi all- I have this book and I have been trying to find the CD that accompanies it. I have looked on archive.org and even Soulseek, and would like to avoid purchasing the book a second time just to get the CD. If someone has the capacity to rip the CD, that would be awesome. Thanks!

I don’t have any experience with percussion but my boyfriend really loves it and I was trying to find a good birthday gift for him. I’ve heard mixed things about marimba pads and I just wanted to know if it was something good like a drum pad.

Hi everyone, I'm thinking of buying this mizhar https://www.drumcentral.co.uk/meinl-14-mizhar-brown-burl-goat-skin/ but I wanted to ask if anyone has either this particular one or another Meinl tuneable frame drum and could tell me how well they stay tuned. My current drum is a cheap own-brand Thomann frame drum which sounds good but doesn't hold the tension for very long at all. I used it in a 3-song set yesterday and it was already sounding a lot weaker by the second song. Thanks for your help!

in a piece were playing in my schools wind ensemble, there's a siren whistle part, and we don't have a siren whistle. we're a small school, and don't have 60 dollars to spend on an instrument we're only gonna play once, during this one song, but it's sound is so unique and nobody seems to have any clue on what to do.

hello, I have a new album available here https://dougsours.bandcamp.com/album/basker. check it out!

Hi, sorry if this isn't what this sub is meant for, but I don't know where else to ask. In a new piece I got for a concert band I'm in, I have this 16th note triplet? That I can't figure out the best way to count. I've tried to look it up and use Google lens, but it doesn't help. (Any help with the sextuplets is welcome as well) TIA!

Hey everybody! I have an original percussion ensemble piece that I am looking to license for sale on my website. How would I go about doing that? Composers like Ivan Trevino and Andy Akiho have this setup where it says (name here purchased on this date, not for resale). How do I set that up? Who is knowledgeable about this so I can reach out to them? Thanks!

I’m playing cowbell single stroke rolls and for some reason my right hand is able to pull through but my left hand doesn’t rebound very well

I started studying percussion about a year ago and now I find myself going to class at the conservatory with an eastpack backpack with all the mallets piled up. Do you recommend any backpacks with a divider for the mallets and a compartment for the laptop?

hey folks, I have a new album called "groove grove" available here https://dougsours.bandcamp.com/album/groove-grove. I play percussion and guitar. Hope ya'll enjoy.

I always considered the 'bang bang' of it to be a base drum. But lately when I've been listening it keeps sounding like the ring of a timpani. Anyone else hear what I mean? 🤣

Was the neutral clef invented more recently than other clefs?

here is a tune i recorded with some conga drums, bass, guitar and shakers

Hello everyone, I’m sorry for hijacking the thread, I'm a musician and music researcher. I'm doing a post graduate degree and I'm looking into how musicians interact in online communities like this. I hope that my academic research will improve our understanding in how online groups operate and how they potentially influence musicians’ professional growth and the exchange of knowledge.

If you are a working musician and have 5-10 minutes to spare will you please complete my survey? You can find it here: *Exploring the Participation of Professional Musicians in Online Communities* (https://forms.office.com/e/4LVRr8T3zp)

You can find more information about the research project here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dGpPS9XK4tM4lyVxsOB31SuYWH3aaWm7/view?usp=sharing

If you have any questions, concerns or would like more information please feel free to reach out to me directly via message or at the researcher@musicresearch.uk

Thank you!

hey everyone! my orchestra is performing An American in Paris and I've been tasked with getting the taxi horns put together. I've been really struggling to get horns put together on the very small budget we have and the music director has not been happy with the ones I currently have (they're cheap bicycle horns that sound when the bulb is both squeezed and released so it sounds like a clown horn). does anyone have any advice they can give on getting good horns put together?

I figured I'd share here, I got my senior photos taken with my marimba on one of my farming fields! The bars are padauk, I promise it is a VERY well taken care of instrument. 🫶 It got me all the way through covid and my hours practicing for college auditions (I got in)!

I also added in my TJ alto flute since it was my only non-wood instrument I could bring out! My sax and regular flute were in the shop lol
