pues no ay una escuela un particular de musica que sepa pero, el ambiente de musica ahi esta chido. mas lugares donde tocar, y mucha gente con quien conectarse.
....manhattan school of music esta chida. tambien nomas conosco de esa por lo que dice la gente. Tengo un amigo q se graduo de ahi. toca muy bien, pero tambien ya tocaba bien antes de ir. pero hasta donde yo se, es muy buena escuela.
hey thats some kick ass tight drumming" now i know those fills are mostly linear but it sounds really well put down in the right places and at the right time'. it would be great if you could break it down, oh by the way am planing to apply to MI, this fall. keep up the good work, all the best. cheers "./
honestly, i wouldnt know wut to tell u, cuz i didnt end up going. my goal was to definitely take advantage of the networking opportunities. The education alone wont get u work. There will always be people who can play circles around u, but at the end of the day, its about who u know.
No, I didnt end up goin. I live in San Jose, CA. Right now, im living at home, working a 9-5, and playing as much as i can. Hopefully I can make the move to LA, or Austin, in the future.
@etdrum oye y que ay en austin?? por que yo vivo aqui en austin y la verdad queria ir a M.I pero no sabia que abia escuelas de musica aqui en austin y pues yo yebo tocando bateria desde lo 4
Hey man that was absolutely sick!!...I plan to apply to MI in the fall of this year, after a year at a junior college due to my grades from high school...But I just would like to know what's the best advice you can give for going about the application and audition process?
vale la pena entrar a M.I.??? esque yo estoy viviendo en monterrey, mexico y estoy interasado..estoy viendo si puedo sacarme una beca para rock o pop en español...tu que dices..ya que estuviste ahi...tengo desde los 15 tocando la guitarra y acabo de cumplir 30..siempre he querido tocar machin...o con unas clases particulares la armo???? sugerencias de la banda por fa!!! saludos desde mty ...traes buen beat vato!
Yo deria que si, pero yo al utlimo no fui. no me dieron los prestamos. yo creo q si vale la pena. pero otra gene dice que no. yo creo q por lo menos auyda a establecer conecciones. si tienes la oportunidad, avientate!
i went to MI for 2 different programs (RIT, GIT) best time of my life.. I want to go back.. I graduated high school early and went right in right when I was about 18.. I'm almost 23 now
I would say thats the best time to do it. I wish i woulda gone right after HS, and not wasted my time..... i mean if ur seriously trying to persue a music career.
My friend, I would say you have more of a chance to network through YouTube now than anyone has ever had. Create your own channel, put some video's out there and see what happens. Why pay 80 grand when you already have the knowledge and skill set to be successful? Attend a few clinics and meet people! But, if you have your heart set on it...Then go for it! :P Either way, I think you will be successful
Thanx. I haven't had any formal training in drums. I took some theory at a local JC, which definitely helps.... but thats pretty much it. I mainly watched videos, and practiced to my records all day/ everyday. My influences change according to my mood, and development. I got a lot of my initial groove and pocket from mexican music, as a kid. Then much later, i went through a gospel phase, which i s where i got a lot of my phrasing, and agility from. And now its groove again.
Well, i applied a few years ago now. I don't know if all the requirements are exactly the same. You can probably get a current, and exact list of reqs, from a couselor. Just contact the admissions department through email, and ask them to send you an app. The app itself has all the reqs, depending on your area of focus.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out why you think you need schooling! You already have the most important tools. Drive, imagination and love of the drums. Thama hit the nail on the head. Find some like minded musicians and form a band. Explore what is in your heart and head and go for it!
Dude you dont need to go to that school!!!!!!!! all you need to learn is reading and styles thats not worth 80,000.. YOUR DOPE!! take it from me I went there... I learned how to read and styles. your already better than half the teachers... trust me dude.. YOUR DOPE!!
they just want to see that you havent just started a month ago. along with the app, u send in recordings of specific things they ask you to play. its all on the app. which you can contact them to send you one.
yah. u send an audio sample of specific things they ask u to play, depending on ur instrument....along with ur app. they just wanna see that u didnt just start playing a week before
Well, im not sure how much u need to know, but if u dont understand wut they are asking u to play, on the app, thats probably a good indicator that u need sum beginner lesson first. i dont think u have to be able to play everything perfectly, but i gotta be able to play sumthing. its not a music school to start taking ur first lessons at.
Yeah I went to Mi too.. I highly recommend taking RIT (recording engineering program) because you'll learn about tone and how to record yourself and about producing music.. and also take your instrument program too.. best school.. im sad its over
Unfortunately, i dont live there, or anywhere near there. if i could, i'd definitely would want to live there, because of the music scene. definately one of the 5 best places to be for music. good luck to u at MI. its a great school.
Hey man good job! Hope you get in! im going to apply at MI in Two years as soon as im out of high school, maybe ill see you there! hahah that is if i get in hope i do cause i dont have a back up plan. But really good luck!
good luck to u! im sure yoiu'll get in. u should probably think bout working on even just a small back up plan, tho. i didnt do it, and now i regret it. jobs are scarce right now.
@etdrum Sick man. I'm moving to L.A from stockholm, Sweden in about a month. I'm attending the vocal program at MI but i'm mostly going to see what the music scene in LA is like and play with some new musicians. Do you live near L.A.? or if you don't do you spend any time there?
No offense to the school, but you seem like you are already pretty skilled so I hope they can actually teach you more. I went there in 2007 for the RAP program.
Thanx. Im pretty sure there is something i can learn from the program, tho. Another reason i want to go there is because of the networking with musicians and teachers. Especially since i come from a town where there's not much going on musically.
@DiminishedStudios The school is about a lot more than just learning your abilities.. I'm currently a guitar student, and even though I came into the school with a decent amount of chops and knowledge of theory, (had an MI Alum as a teacher for 2 years, so I already know the curriculum) the elective classes are fantastic for stylistic approaches to music. They can expose you to different styles you may or may not have a vocabulary in. And the networking you gain from being here is bar-none.
hey i was thinking about going there for drums once i graduate. jw, how should i prepare for the audition? how well should i be able to read music n stuff like that.
i hope this isnt a stupid question but don't they have some scholarship thing that helps out with finances as well. at least thats what i saw on the site don't know if wat i saw applies to drummers as well.
Its not a stupid question. They do have a couple scholarships that help for sure....if u win them. I applied for one, and didnt win it. And the ones that i saw were only for a total of $2000. The tuition alone, for a year and a half, was $34,000, last i checked. Which doesnt include living expenses.... and i don't want to be working a part time while im there, so i can focus completely on my studies. BUT....yah, there are definately scholarships available.
Dude, save your money!!! Get in the studio make yourself a demo. Pass it around to every musician you know. Hang out where the working musicians hang. Get you name out there, you are already as good as most of the people coming out of that school. Find a private teacher that can really burn to show some ridiculous stuff to work on.
You sound really good kidd... Think about Privte lessons instead of going through the full program. You can already play and your going down a good path.. You wanna have your own style, not some1 making you into a certain sounding drummer. do you read?
Thanx. Not a good sight reader, but i know how to read music. Just need to practice reading. I mainly wanted to do a program there because of the networking with teachers, and their exclusive audition opportunities.
Hey I recentley discovered MI froma freinds dad who use to work there. I'm interested in the drum programs there, I mean over all MI just seems like an amazing school. I'm wondering though how expensive is it to join there? I checked their website and no tuition costs were displayed or anything.
To apply, it's $100, but u send in $300 at the same time for materials. Im sure each program is different, but the tuition for the AA program, which runs for a year and a half, is $34,000.
It's an Associates of Arts Degree, and i personally liked it more than the BA program because you get to take more performance classes. Those performance classes get cut out in the BA program to make room for the GE classes required.
Really now? Well yeah my main thing was Music Performance so maybe I should look into the AA program. I'm taking other math, english classes out in Riverside so I think that should transfer over so I can just get into the music portion unless they don;t allow transfer credit.
they do allow transfers, but i dont know exactly what coarses. you should definitely get in contact with a counselor, and they can better inform you of how to do that.
The audition is not necessarily to accept you. Its mainly to see what level you are at. They need to know that u can at least play a little bit. Then they do a proper placement exam to see where they need to place you. From what I've heard, they start very basic.
wow nice playing!!!!! by the way im wondering if you need to be at least that good to enter the school??????? i mean i know that knowing anything or being a begginer woun't help but man thats way too advance
From what i've heard and seen at the open house i went to, they take pretty much anyone, unless you're completely new to music. They have really basic classes, and plus they give u a placement test at the beginning to put you where u need to start.
man,you dont need to know nothing about drum construction,because lots of them who knows everything about that,dont know shit about playing drums!This is one of the best drumming videos I saw and it goes to my favorites!thanks for inspiration!
At the time i recorded this, i wasn't sure if it was supposed to be video or just audio....so i did both. They ended up just hearing this, not watching it.
sick man. the over the bar line stuff was nasty, right in the pocket. the offbeat accents on the high hat and the bell of the ride were a funk party. keep it up
so tight dude!! love how you start off simple and set the tone and solo around the kit and using off beat stuff but you always come back to the time sig. :)
just what im tellin everone in the deathmetal realm...technique/rudements and control...how would u describe your ghostnotes?or pute them on paper?or how are thes played at 19secs.?triplettes,doubles,quads?say if u played that beat consist....

Great chops man. Glad to hear you didn't spend the dough at MI.
You're probably better off using the money to hire your own personal PR company to promote the talent you already have.
I know a few MI "graduates" that are amazing drummers but they have absolutely no clue how to get high-paying gigs which MI doesn't teach.
Best of luck man...

Hey I recentley discovered MI froma freinds dad who use to work there. I'm interested in the drum programs there, I mean over all MI just seems like an amazing school. I'm wondering though how expensive is it to join there? I checked their website and no tuition costs were displayed or anything.
frogbeergolfgolf 2 years ago
To apply, it's $100, but u send in $300 at the same time for materials. Im sure each program is different, but the tuition for the AA program, which runs for a year and a half, is $34,000.
etdrum 2 years ago
Yeah I heard it was all different but I just wanted more of an idea. But thank you that helps me out.
What exactlly is the AA program though?
frogbeergolfgolf 2 years ago
It's an Associates of Arts Degree, and i personally liked it more than the BA program because you get to take more performance classes. Those performance classes get cut out in the BA program to make room for the GE classes required.
etdrum 2 years ago
Really now? Well yeah my main thing was Music Performance so maybe I should look into the AA program. I'm taking other math, english classes out in Riverside so I think that should transfer over so I can just get into the music portion unless they don;t allow transfer credit.
frogbeergolfgolf 2 years ago
they do allow transfers, but i dont know exactly what coarses. you should definitely get in contact with a counselor, and they can better inform you of how to do that.
etdrum 2 years ago
I ment transfer credit for my other school courses.
Yeah that deffinatlley is a good idea. Thank you for your help thus far.

do you have to audition to get in because i"am not that good
007megadeth 2 years ago
The audition is not necessarily to accept you. Its mainly to see what level you are at. They need to know that u can at least play a little bit. Then they do a proper placement exam to see where they need to place you. From what I've heard, they start very basic.
etdrum 2 years ago
Hey, did you just do the tour with Gavin Castleton? If so, I met you in Boston. Either way, you are a great drummer.

wow nice playing!!!!! by the way im wondering if you need to be at least that good to enter the school??????? i mean i know that knowing anything or being a begginer woun't help but man thats way too advance
GuitarHero2320 2 years ago
From what i've heard and seen at the open house i went to, they take pretty much anyone, unless you're completely new to music. They have really basic classes, and plus they give u a placement test at the beginning to put you where u need to start.
