hey Jared.
This is xxxx, from Midland,TX. I have been drumming for about 2-3 1/2 years now. I started out on the snare drum (rudimentaly). And so far I am doing fine. But yeah, I would like to keep improving on it as much as possible. But, I off and on would play on tenors occasionally. Just for the heck of it. And recently, about 2-3 weeks ago. I noticed I want to start playing them a bit more. As in, play them for drumline,marching, drumcorps.....etc..But, I want to ask you. What would you suggest me to do, to build up my speed,movement, technical skills.. etc.on tenors. To give me a better "start out" since I will be playing them a bit more?
P.S.
The reply you sent to the person that is 15 yrs., been playing since he was 9 or 10. And plays snare, but prefers tenors. The email you sent him that was like, 4 paragraphs long. Wow, haha. That was a huggee inspiration to me man. Not only did I learn a lot of new and great things/great suggestions to get better. But, it just got me that much more exited to be playing marching drums. I am like you,real hard-core on marching, drum corps, drumlines, marching band...etc..and just wanted to thank you for inspiring another fellow drummer.
