shortypinay Registered: 12/30/03 Loc: San Diego	Does anyone know of any drumming games? Maybe something involving rudiments or technique. Our drumline is having a lot of problems working on improving these things - or actually were just having a lot of problems in general but that's off topic... Anyways, I just need something fun to bring to practice that is fun but still helps you practice drumming. _________________________ FA LA LA LA LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

AdamP152 Registered: 09/25/05 Loc: Cary/Greenville NC	Heres one: Its called the Add-on game. Start with center snare, have him/her play the rudiment/lick/phrase, then add on second snare. When they have it right, add on another... and so forth and so on. Not really the most fun game, but it works... sometimes. _________________________ Screw MySpace -------------------- Keep Our Children Safe- Support Jessica's Law

Shodandrummer Registered: 11/14/04 Loc: Hartford, Wisconsin	Or perhaps another variation of that. Have someone start a small little phrase/lick w.e, and play that like 2 times through. Then the next person attempts to play it once through, if they get it correct, they can add their own little bit on in addition to the normal phrase/lick at the beginning. And so on and so forth. Just an idea _________________________ -------------------*- HUHS Drumline '04 - '05 Snare '05 - '06 Bottom Bass

Anonymous Unregistered	do something simple. start with a slow triplet roal. with all of the drummers playing. later speed it up. its a game of who has the best chops. when they mess up or slow down they are out. or if they cant play anymore or their arms fall off they are out. the winner is the one playing the longest

We've always called that the "who keeps ticking this phrase" game. _________________________ missouri state university - snare 05,06 phi mu alpha sinfonia, iota rho - spring 06

Sajre Registered: 10/06/04 Loc: Lancaster, Pennsylvania	We used to do rudiment relays. You split into equal teams, and place a snare/bucket/something to hit, for each team across the parking lot. The teams line up and the first person from each team runs to the drum and plays a rudiment, and runs back and tags the next person in line. This continues until all members of a team have played a different rudiment. Fun Times. _________________________ OAS AAS LLS

LySferra Registered: 11/13/05 Loc: Milford Ohio	We have this fun game where we do lots and lots of pushups if we tick. We have a blast with it. The PushUp Game. It's pretty infamous. Run an excercise or rudiment like chopping spree and then whoever ticks goes down and does ten and has to be in by the next one or they're pretty much screwed. Otherwise, we don't do games unless we do addons with a roll. snare starts and then you add on the roll. if you come in fuzzy you start all over. it's motivation. _________________________ That's funny; last time I was in France, all the bread was stale. 04-05 Clarinet/Pit 05-06 Snare/Pit 06-07 Snare

LPHS_snare06 blank Registered: 11/12/03	here's my favorite: its the same as "horse", but with a drumline, called "stick". just get a pad/drum/something that you can hit with a stick. one person lays down a 4 measure phrase, and the next person has to match it, and you go around the circle. the people who dont match it get a letter. its fun when your bored. _________________________ I'll tell you who ate those sandwiches...it was that damn sasquach!

T_man Registered: 11/08/04 Loc: Seattle, Washington	I know of one called "Paradiddle Race". It goes between two people playing about 8 measures of the same paradiddle exercise. Then the next 8 bars are the same but the person who finishes first wins. (always making sure sound quality is still in tact though! ) _________________________ 05-06 Oregon Crusaders Tenor Line 06 Pinnacle Percussion Ensemble Tenor Line 06 Kamiak Highschool Drumline Instructor Currently attending the University of Washington
