Yeah when i saw BDs pit this past year, it inspired me to want to be better. also, the people in my pit inspire me because they are so much better than me and it makes me want to be better too.

motivation

Post by chickinthebattery » Mon Dec 08, 2003 3:30 pm

I'd say that my section leader or the other snare drummer motivate me the most. Yes, no one knows who they are, but since you have close contact with them they can influence you greatly. Also the 2 instuctors we have are cool to look up to. :D Everyone is so intense and crazy. You can see the intensity in their eyes.


Peace out

Vallejo's pit....*sigh* So good. I love how they are so intense when they play. They really get into their music, and it's good intimidation and motivation just to watch them.

but...cavies i think tops te cake. oy!!!!! man.....everyone of thos eboys i'd marry. hahahahahhahah. right.

To all my fellow Bass line buddy's out there, yes BD's bass line is a line to look to. They can play so much that only we dream of playing. But to me my instructor is the one who helps me play. When I cant do something he will have some sort of a story that will tell me that yes I can do it, and if I dont then just leave. He is also there to teach me how to play the bass drum. If you never had your instructors then you would never know how to play the Bass in a proper manner, and in a manner that BD would look at or any other corp would look at. I come from a 6A band that has betten RB and came close to Etiwanda and trust me I know what it takes, and next year its all about the bass and trying out for BD or Vangard....so good luck to all who want to play in BD or play in any other crop but when you think about who gives you that drive for your love for the snare for the pit for the tenner or for the bass rember who taught you how to play it and who got you there they are the ones who need the credit..........
