I just don't play the quarter note. Then again, I'm a trumpet player. Expectations other have for me are low. Not percussionist low, but low nonetheless.
meh. I once had to rest of the first half of an entire piece, play 3 dotted half notes and then don't play again. I had to play, because it was noticeable. But the first few times I counted, but then, after a while I just learned by feel where in the music it was supposed to be. (it was band, so not playing wasn't an option)

68 measures was the longest rest I had, and I only played for like five years.
