[Fenguin]

Ok, I guess I'll run too. Haha. ;)

[OboeGuru]

oboe, how is it that you are the guru of t3h oboe-ness, yet you play drums? :confused:
Because Oboe is my primary instrument and percussion is my secondary.

He likes beating things. Wink wink.

[Fenguin]

*nukes your computer* HA!

Generally, the secondary instrument is weaker than the primary. Hence the whole Primary/Secondary thing. I own at vocal percussion though. Bow to me! :D

Yup.

Mmm... cookie. Reminds me of virgins. Mmm... virgins...

Jeff Thacher of Rockapella is the Beat Box/Vocal Percussion GOD! :worship:

[SoulreaverELITE]

id have to say oboe that was the best post ever

[Graeme]

I wouldn't say secondary is weaker than the primary instrument. The secondary instrument is usually the harmony, used to compliment the melody of the first instrument. Without a harmony, the first instrument would just sound cruddy. However, this isn't always the case. Some songs make use of counter-melodies.

I know some songs built so far on melodies and counter-melodies that it's impossible to distinguish the first and second instruments. The only *real* way you can tell, is by the fact that second is usually a few tones lower than first, and third is a few lower than second.

Of course, the differentiation in tones also doesn't determine the difficulty of the piece. Try playing a low c flat on an alto saxaphone in sixteenth notes :P.

[ZeroDarkStar]

Your adolecent craving will be your downfall. And my custom title, too.

[OboeGuru]

Your adolecent craving will be your downfall. And my custom title, too.Curse you! I was just about to put that in MY custom title!

[ZeroDarkStar]

Ha.

I am g0d.

I was referring to the concept of playing two instruments. Where the primary instrument of a person is one that more time has been dedicated to and therefore is better/stronger and the secondary and on are "weaker" by comparison. I'm really not that good of a drummer. I started learning about a year an a half ago, and stopped taking lessons after about 4-5 months because I didn't have the time.

[ZeroDarkStar]

I am an 1337 drummer. =P

No, I'd say I'm better than the average amuteur set player, but not good enough to go pro.

Yeah, I know, I'm not humble.

[Yahhred]

hey Guru what do you play in drumline? I played snare towards the end of my highschool career, and basically before then I switched off with Bass, cymbals and so on.

[OboeGuru]

I am the über awesome cymbal player of the NW 'burbs. I was going to play cymbals for Pioneer Drum and Bugle Corps based out of Waukesha, WI, but I decided I had too many plans for the summer to dedicate myself to it this year. Next year though, I will dominate! Unless the Madison Scouts have a cymbal line next year, in which case I'm auditioning with them first.

So yeah, seen any Drum Corps shows in your days?

[Yahhred]

seen any Drum Corps shows in your days?


actually no, but I can imagine they are pretty sweet :)

[ZeroDarkStar]

Drumline

That movie made me cry.

CymbalLine

That movie made me laugh.

[Yahhred]

don't forget "CongaLine" :p

[OboeGuru]

ZDS, are you dissing cymbals? Come to one of our MB's competitions or a Drum Corps show and I'll learn ya a thing or two.

Drum Coprs shows kick ass. Especially the 2002 Cavaliers show, "Frameworks" That was orgasmic.

[ZeroDarkStar]

ZDS, are you dissing cymbals?
I play percussion, and I happen to love cymbals.

[OboeGuru]

I play percussion, and I happen to love cymbals.
You'd love them more if you saw me in action. ;) Not to be cocky or anything...

[ZeroDarkStar]

Meh. Suspended Cymbal is more my thing.

[OboeGuru]

It's all about the visual performance. I can't understand why the Cavies don't have a Cymbal line... they're missing out on a lot.

Am I like the forum Band Geek around here?

[ZeroDarkStar]

Guess so. =P

[Graeme]

Out of any percussion instrument, I must say my favourite are the timpanes :D. Usually the largest instrument in a band, and definately the coolest sounding.

[Yahhred]

yeah they're fun ^^


sometimes I miss being in band =/

[Fenguin]

Oo, and regarding my hypothesis on Vancouver, isn't dunchy from Vancouver? :D I recall there being a Kamloops when I lived there... or is he kidding ;)

[OboeGuru]

Out of any percussion instrument, I must say my favourite are the timpanes :D. Usually the largest instrument in a band, and definately the coolest sounding.
And at a close second are Gongs and Tam-Tams. I swear if anyone calls our band's tam-tam a gong... there will be blood!

[Fenguin]

Tam-tams don't even look like gongs o.O

[OboeGuru]

Yes they do, that's why they get confused so easily. Tam-tams are just smaller than gongs.

[Fenguin]

Really? What's the size cutoff between tam-tams and gongs? ;)

[OboeGuru]

Psh, hell if I know. Ask a person who's a full-time percussionist. :D

[henrywonderchimp]

lol... i had forgottenwhat a tam-tam was till oboe cleared that up for me :p

quads are where it's at it any marching band. and timpanis in concert/symphonic band :D

[OboeGuru]

People who play quads are n00bs. If you say you played tenors I'll de-n00bify you. :D I say tenors because that's what they're called in Drum Corps and because our "quads" have a shot drum mounted on the horizontal crossbar to which the other drums are attached by hinges. So they're really "quints" :p

[henrywonderchimp]

lol.. i fear no oboe player :rolleyes: i should n00b-ify you by the simple fact the i've got 9 more years experience :p

[OboeGuru]

I can make you deaf much more readily on a pair of cymbals than you can on tenors. How's that for Decibel envy? :p :D

[Yahhred]

ahh but you forgot about me I can pwn your eardrums on a snare with the slightest of rim-shots on a freshly tightend head.

what say you to that ruffian :p

[OboeGuru]

I say: Fsck no! *runs away*

Snares are the cause of my deafness.

You win Yahhred. Snares > me.

[Mtank]

I want to come and pary at ur house...just pay for my tickets...and board and lodging too, if ya dont mind...Not enough cash? Check out your education fund for help!

[ZeroDarkStar]

Try putting your head within the path of two Crash Cymbals.

Hear that hollow sound?

[henrywonderchimp]

hmm...i doubt you'd be able to even hear that hollow sound :p

[Mordecai2k]

This thread has the most replies :p

[Fenguin]

This thread roxors. :D It's also amazing how much it has gone off topic, off topic again, and even more off topic ;)

[henrywonderchimp]

does that really surprise you though?

[OboeGuru]

Not particularly, It's the Illinois house of spam, an exclusive club. ;)

[Fenguin]

Hehe, go Illinois! I love Illinois ;)
Who wants to be an honorary Illinoisian? Anyone? :D

[OboeGuru]

One qualifying test will be properly pronouncing "Illinoisian" ;)

[Yahhred]

One qualifying test will be properly pronouncing "Illinoisian" ;)

I'll own you :p :D


BWAHAHAHAHAH

[OboeGuru]

Let's see the phoenetics, Yahhred. Bring it!

[Traken]

NOO! He'll give the secret away to those who don't know how to say it! :p

[Fenguin]

New rule: if you live in Illinois, you don't have to pronounce it ;)
coughihavenocluehowtopronounceitsoimcoveringformys elfcough

[OboeGuru]

I think there should only be one honorary Illinoisian, to make it even more honorary. :D

[henrywonderchimp]

agreed :p

but who?

[OboeGuru]

Whoever is the first to post the proper phoenetic pronunciation. Ill-uh-noy-an

[henrywonderchimp]

ahh... this oughtta be good :D

[Traken]

Kind of an easy way to get such a rocking title though, no?


Oh, wait... I forgot.... Illinois sucks.... Meh, give it to Radlin. ;)

[OboeGuru]

You're making my trigger finger twitch... ;)

[Traken]

I find the fact that you say that to, of all people, me. If you don't know me at all, then I suppose I can let it go. ;)

[AJ]

Oh shush. ;)

[Traken]

Well, sorry, but it's just so darned ironic when he makes a comment like that when I actually chose this time to do a little cleaning on my pistol... :D

[OboeGuru]

:eek: I'm going to hide in a corner and built a 4-inch-thick steel wall around me now...

[Traken]

Boo... Nobody likes me... ;)

[dunchy]

Because your a piece of meat in a can :D

[OboeGuru]

I'm hiding from you and your gun. You can't make me divulge the answer!!!

Somebody's got to be able to answer my riddle correctly...

[henrywonderchimp]

oh, come now... he's not that scary. :rolleyes:

[Yahhred]

beware his stabbings O_o;;

[OboeGuru]

Stabbing? Nobody said anything about stabbing!!! *shreiks like a little girl*

[Traken]

<_<
>_>

I don't know what you're talking about....

[henrywonderchimp]

oh yea... i forgot about those, didn't i? :p all his gun talk made me completely forget about his love for shapr pointy oblects with which to poke :D

[OboeGuru]

I'll just have to utilize my Sledgehammer of Ultimate Doom, manufactured here in Illinois. :D

[Yahhred]

I'll just have to utilize my Sledgehammer of Ultimate Doom, manufactured here in Illinois. :D

pfff..... you know as well as i that thing is a piece, I mean c'mon it's Illinois Craftmanship ;)

[OboeGuru]

It's Ultimate Doom because the hammer breaks off the handle as I swing it and it flies into my opponent, causing significant damage, and then I'm left with a good beating stick. ;)

[Funkwich]

lol I'm in

[OboeGuru]

OMFG, t3h 00ber spam thread is revived! This is really nifty, something like 5-10% of this forum's population is Illinois-based. And 3 out of the 4 Admins plus 1 or more Mods at that!
