Or, end it like the Cadets, with a kick out towards the crowd....

Just a thought.

our bass line ends our one solo by doing a sideways punch with our left hand towards the audience and then flipping our mallet up side down (backwards) and then dropping it and then catching it with that same hand , its sorta like a sucicide but not completely behind the back its just out to the side when we drop the mallet

matrix double-shot's anyone?

hmmm isn't this one of the tosses taught on one of snarescience's vids?

Basically you just throw the stick in your right hand such that it spins one revolution, after which take, and I do mean just take, the stick from your left hand (you would have the butt facing out at this point), then have your left hand catch the airborne stick, and you should end up with bead facing out on left hand, and butt facing out on right hand.

then you just play something on your left hand to buy time to flip the stick in your right hand back where the bead is facing out.

I wrote a pretty visual-oriented snare feature for a James Bond song we might do for our show, and it ends with a triple-backstick sort of visual that I made up, then a right hand rim shot with the left in traditional doing a gun visual.

i saw an I&E solo a little while ago where the guy finished where he smashed his left stick into the drum and took his right, hit it way off into the audience or the ceiling or something (hahaha)
here it is, http://youtube.com/watch?v=GnYJBYeQ_6Q
and one of the most common, double shot, arms to the side, loud vocal grunt. lets people know that you are done

Sounds like Blue Devils last year. Its on Vic In the Lot 06

this year in winterline there were individual solo sections in this one song and the quads and basses ended their solos with visuals.

the quads blew kisses to the audience and the basses did a little running man thing

thats a pretty cool thing, hitting the stick across the room. but you might loose points if you it someone....especially a judge.

i personally don't like pelvic thrust i'd just stick to some kind of stick visuals and monkey arms
