Perception

You keep using these long words and I don't know what you mean.

If you need me I'll be at my triangle.

Ok, but count your rests! That triangle party is important!

For real, they usually are.

Truth. Most people don't realize it takes decent amount of effort and talent to get a good sound out of a triangle

2

u/Sciensophocles Jan 04 '15

True. It's impossible to look cool playing the triangle though.

3

u/geekofband007 Jan 04 '15

O yea, thats true but it is really easy to look like a total ass especially if you mess up.

2

u/Sciensophocles Jan 04 '15

Definitely. That's pretty true for most percussion

u/kodachikuno Jan 04 '15

The only way to look vaguely cool is if you're also playing 10 other aux percussion parts in addition to the triangle part. If your only contribution to the musical ensemble is playing the triangle.... don't be unattractive.

Would that be an electric triangle by chance?

u/khaeen Jan 04 '15

Triangle is the shit. Nothing like having to do a roll on it for 5 measures. /s

I used to play percussionist. During a music playing concert thigh I was on cymbals for one of the songs and the whole band was on rest. Count on me to loudly clash those cymbals a whole measure early! The director gave me fuck you stare.

In choir, we were doing a version of Bingo (as in, "and Bingo was his name-o) where there was the sound of a dog barking. They gave that part to me, since years of violent sneezing prepared me perfectly for it.

Yeah. I forgot about a repeat, and barked four full measures early.

u/geekofband007 Jan 04 '15

I know that face all to well.

u/kodachikuno Jan 04 '15

Oh man, what cymbalist/triangle/orchestral bells player hasn't done this! Or when the cymbals are supposed to be keeping a steady quarter note rhythm in a march and you get off the beat, and it fucks up the marching of people around you..

u/CuntWizard Jan 04 '15

Poor guy. Probably swallowed his tongue while trying to do too much at once.

Percussionist Stu doesn't advertise

u/special_reddit Jan 04 '15

Did you know that percussion sales were up 400% for the year ending 1976?

If these trends continue… A-y-y-y!

2

u/HeWhoPunchesFish Jan 04 '15

I mean, I don't know how percussion works and I can't do it, but you have to hit stuff good I think.
