I’ve officially had my beautiful @blackswamppercussion 14” X 4” mercury series multisonic snare drum for over a year now. Still so pleased with this purchase. I don’t think there is any other brand I’d like to play on. So here are a couple short clips of myself playing @ivan.drums composition entitled “Spur” for solo snare drum and audio track. #adamsstate #adamsstatepercussion #adamsstatemusic #adamsstateuniversity #percussion #percussionist #percussionlife #percussionista #drums #drummer #drumming #snaredrum #snare #music #musician #musicianlife #classicalmusic #classicalmusician #chambermusic #chambermusician #orchestra (at Adams State University - Music Department)

Day 7/100 for my #100daysofpractice Worked on a couple of excerpts tonight, so here is a clip of myself playing measures 98 to the end of movement II from Shostakovich Symphony no. 10. Needless to say, still some work to be done. I'm also realizing I need a new batter head for this drum, for it is well played out. #adamsstate #adamsstatepercussion #adamsstatemusic #adamsstateuniversity #percussion #percussionist #percussionlife #percussionista #percussionists #snaredrum #drums #drummer #drumming #music #musician #musicianlife #classicalmusic #classicalmusician #classicalpercussion #concertpercussion #orchestra #shostakovich #symphony #chambermusic #chambermusician (at Adams State University - Music Department)

Day 35/100 for my #100daysofpractice Trying different things tonight to make this Bach prelude sound more like how a cellist might interpret the music, specifically triple and quadruple stops. Due to the nature of the cello, many of these stops would be arpeggiated as well, but there are so many different ways to do so. #adamsstatepercussion #adamsstatemusic #adamsstate #percussion #percussionist #percussionlife #percussionista #drums #drummer #drumming #music #musician #musicianlife #classicalmusic #classicalmusician #orchestra #cello #cellosuite #bachcellosuites #stringedinstrument #chambermusic #chambermusician (at Adams State University - Music Department)

Day 37/100 for my #100daysofpractice Another thing that helps to learn anything in your music that trips you up is to incorporate it into an exercise that you normally might do in a warm up. #adamsstatepercussion #adamsstate #adamsstatemusic #percussion #percussionist #percussionista #percussionlife #drums #drummer #drumming #snaredrum #snare #music #musician #musicianlife #classicalmusic #classicalmusician #orchestra #chambermusic #chambermusician (at Adams State University - Music Department)

Day 36/100 for my #100daysofpractice When you encounter rhythms that mess with your head a little bit, the best thing you can do is break it down! Take out all grace notes and gradually work them back in. #adamsstatepercussion #adamsstatemusic #adamsstate #percussion #percussionist #percussionlife #percussionista #drums #drummer #drumming #snaredrum #snare #music #musician #musicianlife #classicalmusic #classicalmusician #orchestra #chambermusic #chambermusician (at Adams State University - Music Department)

Was messing around, playing along with some of my old favorite pop punk tunes tonight just for the fun of it. When I came across this pattern in a song. I used to play this pattern all the time in my teenage years, but with a double pedal that admittedly made it much easier to play. Didn’t know if I could play it on single pedal now, and apparently I can....but not well. Oh well, it’s just for the fun of drumming! . . #adamsstatepercussion #adamsstatemusic #adamsstateuniversity #adamsstate #music #musician #drums #drummer #drumming #drumset #poppunk (at Adams State University - Music Department) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7NGa-NlYSn/?igshid=1dysug7almeiq
