And I was pissed for much of the day. 
I always let my drumlines know that, at least for me, drumline isn&#8217;t just about drumming.  It&#8217;s about class and responsibility, amongst other things.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been teaching quite a few younger students lately.  Anyone with experience teaching younger drum students has run into the problem of mashing the sticks into the pad or drum.  It&#8217;s a natural problem for young students; it&#8217;s natural for someone to pick up drum sticks for the first time and then bang [...]]]></description>

An educated drummer will probably know what is meant when a drum teacher says, &#8220;Let the bounce do the work,&#8221; or, &#8220;Let the rebound do [...]]]></description>

Play four counts of 16th notes with an accent on each downbeat, starting on the right hand.
Done?  Cool.  Now, play the exact same [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I got out of the car about 7:30 last night and heard someone playing his drum set.
Oh&#8230; we live in a condo, by the way.
It didn&#8217;t bother my wife and me because we live on the other end of the building so we didn&#8217;t really hear it unless we were actually listening for it, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m pretty sure it was my age-out year of drum corps.  I was walking across the gym at our housing site with my instructor/mentor/friend/boss, talking about&#8230; drums, probably&#8230; and we passed by one of my fellow snare players ramming beats on his pad.  We asked him what he was doing and he said [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;With great power there must also come great responsibility.&#8221;
-Ben Parker, from the pages of Amazing Fantasy 15


That&#8217;s right.  I made a Spider-Man reference.  Because it&#8217;s pertinent.  
You, the drummer, are the final say when you perform with an ensemble.  You are the final, deciding factor in how a piece feels, how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, after a drumline rehearsal, one of the students was sitting on the floor practicing a piece of music.  She wanted to audition for a snare spot pretty badly and her chances were incredibly slim.  My friend, the caption head of this particular drumline, told her she basically had one chance to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sure that most of us have read or listened to interviews with drummers that talk about how they used to &#8220;woodshed&#8221; for 8 hours a day, everyday.  They loved the craft so much, and wanted to be so good, that they devoted themselves to such an intense practice schedule.
Good for them, I say.
However, [...]]]></description>

The problem is, I continued to learn new things since I started jotting down [...]]]></description>
