I wonder if there's any *Symbolism* behind the percussionists getting into crashes.

When the piccolos show up at protests - all hell will break loose. And if they show up with percussionists...boom! 😁

It's an art form unto itself! (same for percussionists)
I'm a pianist though so it's sort of second nature...

All that to say, despite being regularly left out of these conversations, drummers and percussionists have their own battles to face when it comes to reading music that other instrumentalists may never consider or experience.

I really enjoy Drumeo’s series where they play famous percussionists drum-less versions of songs they’ve never heard and have them craft a part to see what approach they take and their new video where the Mars Volta is unpacked by Chad Wackerman may be their best yet. youtu.be/ExNXgYeDjig?...

In my experience, community bands especially need percussionists and double reed players!
If you played an instrument back in high school and stopped: we are in a golden age of decent cheap instruments.
The guitars are better, the amps are better. The pedals are cheaper, the wind instruments are actually instruments and not just shaped like them, etc.
Jump back into it.

Tons of fun & lovely too. The percussionists steal the show with meat cleavers, cereal boxes, and scrubbing pads. The Kingston Symphony premieres John Estacio's Domestic Divertimento.

@TheKoreaHerald: As the sun sets, a group of dancers and percussionists in the Maghreb region in Africa perform around a fire, the dance getting more fierce as the percussion rhythms grow faster and faster.

Saw a once-in-a-lifetime OSM show tonight: Stravinsky's Les Doces (The Wedding).
4 vocalists, 4 pianos, 7 percussionists & OSM choir.
Kent Nagano conducting!
Soprano Louise Kemény was ill at last minute & Maria Lacey (?) was asked 30 minutes before the show if she wanted to be a star!

Percussion is ineligible because they make up random objects to call instruments. Percussionists used to use shotguns for the cannons in 1812 Overture. It'd be the dumbest, shortest debate ever if they were included.

Enjoying the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Hollywood for the Holidays with my son. No shade to rest of the orchestra, they’re all great, but the best is the ‘dance’ of the percussionists; no sitting down on the job.

Spent an enjoyable day judging MiddleLevelStateHonorsAuditions @ ClassicalSchool in Appleton. Heard percussionists (playing music I wrote) & saxophones, grades 6-8.
In these auditions we also hold class sessions with small groups & work with them. Great kids, always willing to learn!
