But you're not actually supposed to play in the center of the snare anyway, because it'll ring out a bit, almost like a tom. I'm trying to learn this piece right now. I think the snare guy did a great job!

Also, to the guy playing the snare drum. Sounds great!

to all who believes that percussion section should remain stood up: not necessarily so. It all depends on the player's ability to remain relaxed while playing. Some people find that easier when sitting down while others prefer otherwise. It's more about the relaxation of all of our muscle groups in the entire body that matters. In professional world, neither standing nor sitting are defaults. It's up to the player's preferences.

laziest percussion section ever

@kingcap1226 I was thinking the same ting when I watched this. It would sound a lot better if he wasn't play right at the rim. Playing right at the rim doesn't activate the snares at all, so it almost sounds like the snares are off. Other than that though, great job on the solo.

Good on you for sitting down, I don't know why all the yanks insist on standing up all the time. The other instruments don't so why should the perc? Is it because you need to stand up to make the performance interesting? If it is, I pity you. Do what's comfortable, it's the sound that counts most of all.

Great playing, the drum sounds awesome too

@kingcap1226 I used to agree with what you're saying, but percussion is exposed enough as it is, so having to stand up when playing brings even more attention to you, whereas sitting down helps integrate the section with the orchestra.

AND I find sitting down makes playing quieter much easier, as you can relax your body more and achieve greater control of sticks.

One other thing i am not trying to point out your faults but i do wonder about the Percussionist playing snare drum is there a reason your at the very rim of the drum. Your sound would improve greatly when you play closer to the center of the snare. I liked the double released to the singles all on the right that is a technique that Raynor Carrol from the LA Phil would do. Try this next time keep the roll the same but use this sticking after roll LLRRLLRLRR see how that works. Great work guys.
