Don't worry, I am not trying to take over the drumline, however, that doesn't mean my title as overlord is no joke. I will make my minions dance till I am satisfied. The tenors are more then welcome to join in, however, you guys need less thrust visuals and more awesome bobbing and happy dances.
END COMMUNICATION

back on topic now. Can anybody help me with the triplet measure in the Haggis for cymbal?
It's the one with the tricky 16th note triplets... is it just me or is there like an 8th note missing in that measure or something's weird... help?

that appears to be correct, and I can email Dr. Nave to see if there is a missing rest. It seems to fit the snare part. I hope that makes some sense.

i think that's supposed to be a quarter rest between the second triplet and the eigth notes. that's what seems to go with the snare part.

Anyone worried about the marching for the first night of auditions sholdn't worry. I was in pit for all four years in high school, and I still made the line and got the whole "Big Ten marching" thing down pat. Just practice marking time with the audition music and the rest of the cadences as you practice, it'll make marching easy. : )

sarah's right
There were some problems similar to this with the bass part. You shouldn't play on the third beat at all. Just change that eighth rest into a quarter.

don't worry so much about it. do the best you can, and the rest will come with time. usually it's easier to play and mark time when we're all together playing it

Hey, it's tough, I know ... believe me, I'm having a blast :-\
Suggestion: work slower till you can play it.
Otherwise, listen to those 6 GORGEOUS women and don't worry so much about it.
Things become quite clear at auditions too, because you're suddenly surrounded by 20+ people who have gone through the same thing (And also have learned to read pam's music ;-)
Don't fret, we're all friendly and will gladly give you a hand, just be ready with what ya got.

Righto, I'm working hard on the rhythms, I can play them all, except for those 16thnote triplets, regardless how hard I try T_T.

Does anyone have any suggestions for learning the 3 measure tennor part where you play one rhythem with the left hand and another with the right. I've learned the first of the 3 but it took me a while and I was wondering if there was anyway to maybe speed up the process.

This is probably something bad I'm telling you .... I'm sure it completely messes up the interpretation of those measures, but its a way to get it under your hands so you can change your interpretation.
Rewrite the measure as one line with FLAT FLAMS and learn that. (I emphasize flat flams cause otherwise it makes the measure dirty) It's kinda like de-isolating one hand in a rudiment.
When you've got it in muscle memory, play it over and over and force yourself to hear the pattern as it's written (try playing one hand loud and one soft to emphasize this)

The three measure tenor solo is definitely an independence test. I'm sure you've tried playing just the right hand and just the left hand. To make it easier on me visually, i wrote out the left hand part in my book so I can see where the beat lies. The hardest part about the solo is in the hands, so don't worry about which drum you are playing on: work on a single pad until you can play the rhythm well. You can play any rhythm at a very slow speed, so use a metronome and start around 60 bpm, build up by 2 until you have it up to speed. Good luck with it.
I wanted to address the sixtuplet roll part: it is practicaly impossible to play from drum 4 to drum 3 with a right hand lead with that pattern. Learn the part as is, but we'll probably work something out to make it possible to play clean.

I've come to the conclusion that I cannot play that 16thnote triplet pattern thingy on the cymbals. It's just not working... I'm dead for the auditions T_T
How well do I hafta play it? Can I just like NOT play it... >.>, or what if I played it really really poorly?
