A music piece we just received requires us to make the sound of spinning helicopter blades, like it is flying over. Any idea on how to achieve this using percussion? (Except for a bluetooth speaker and a sound file from YouTube or something).

Hello r/percussion, I'm gonna be playing the whirly this friday, was wondering should I whirl it in front of me or above me? I saw someone play it the second way at a school performance but I've seen the first way online as well. Also, is it true that hugging it and warming it up will make it sound better?

Thanks

Since I saw a post: this is the one that I do!

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has tried to repair and of those suspension pegs on the Yamaha RD2400 (4.3 Octave), because I really need to fix the low A corner suspension and the low B suspension as well. If anyone has had any success, can you please tell me what you did, or if you have a suggestion, can you also please inform me? Thanks!

I’m playing mostly piatti and tam tam with a local community college orchestra, and our director asked everyone for suggestions on what to play next semester. The last couple performances, I’ve only had a part in a single movement, so Im looking for something more inclusive. Bonus for pieces that really use the whole orchestra

Is it normal for the lowest register to be tuned quite high compared to standard tuning. Pretty much all of my bars from C2 to A2 are quite high in pitch. They sound way off and when using a tuner app on my phone it shows that one of the bars is even 30 Hz too high.
The lowest register on my marimba just sounds quite bad but i find it quite weird that literally every bar from C2 to A2 is like this. Is it just me or did they really mess up all of them in the factory.

I already got 2 bars replaced because they were cracked so I would hate to contact them again to tell them that there are 6 more bars that sound pretty bad and would like to get them replaced.

I have access to another 5 oct marimba and on that one every note from the lowest register just sounds really good, whereas mine just sound bad. Both are from the same manufacturer.

Hi, my friends and I are planning to perform at a a lunchtime performance, we are looking for piece that use instruments that are not "real" instruments? such as Stinkin Garbage and Stool Pigeon.

Are there any good suggestions?

Hi! Does anyone know what is the name of this percussion?

Trying to find a good drum rack for hand drums and auxiliary percussion. A member of one of my bands plays congas, bongos, djembe, and is considering possibly adding some Rototoms. On top of that he plays flute and multiple other auxiliary Latin percussion instruments that would be helpful to have mounted on a side arm of a rack. I’ve found individual stands for the aux percussion and hand drums but nothing that has mounts for hand drums as well that aren’t well over my desired price point. If anyone has any ideas where I might find something that fits our needs or has a better recommendation on how we should setup that would be great.

Has anyone bought percussion instruments from them? Or are they a scam. I’m looking to buy a portable xylophone but I don’t wanna get scammed😭

Hey Reddit, for my senior year solo on marimba, I want to find the HARDEST piece on the entire PML. Can y’all try to help me? It’s the University Interscholastic League Prescribed Music List if you can’t find it.

I’ve been taking percussion lessons at my university and I finally started learning how to play these. They’re super technical but at the same time they’re a ton of fun.

Hello! This is for any Arabic/Mediterranean/Bellydance drummers here. What note do you tune your sombaty (19.5 inch tall) doumbek to? I just replaced the head on mine and I'm tuned to B.

I know there’s resistance indoor but I’ve been trying to find symphonic ensembles, if anyone knows then lmk

Hi everyone, I’m a drummer in a wind orchestra in the Netherlands. We have a 60 people group of people. Our drumkit is a Pearl Reference and we’re looking for a new cymbals set. I see a lot of Zildjian A en K Sweet doing research. I love to know your suggestions. Of course they have to be versatile because of the different genres. Thnx in advance.

For some reason I aways forget the name of this rhythm
