Can you recommend a good video or video series that does concentrate on learning to read the music for tenors? My son played bass last year for his high school marching band. This summer he went to non-required practices and put in the work and earned a spot on tenors. (His school uses the 5 drum tenors.) He auditioned and was selected. However now he is having serious misgivings. He does not know how to read the music very well. He mostly learned and passed the audition by memorizing the songs. Now that he is on the line and having to learn new music he is feeling like he is in over his head and is thinking of quitting band all together. (He also says that all the other tenor players are seniors, so next year he will be a junior and the oldest tenor player. His band expects the older students to help the newer students. So he is feeling overwhelmed by the thought of having to teach new kids how to learn tenors from bass or whatever. I am looking for a good series of videos that will help him learn to read the tenor music and gain confidence in it.

Get on with it

It’s like it’s *only* overtones. What a cool sound!

You are a good teacher.kep it up

I auditioned for freshmen bass but got bumped up to tenors without any snare practice 😅 this video helps so much even with my 5 pillows

who here from drum corps

The ending is obviously humorous, but I’d suggest trying the visual at the beginning. It’s difficult to play it with accuracy at fast tempos.

Nice! Just when you think you've seen it all.

I want that book now

Why their teacher is their teacher

Okay, here’s my rudiment count with a few “maybes”: 1. double stroke 2. quadruple stroke (if you count it as a rudiment) 3. flam accent 4. flam tap 5. flam paradiddle 6. Swiss army triplet 7. flam drag 8. inverted flam tap 9. flam ratamacue 10. cheese accent 11. cheese invert 12. cheese paradiddle 13. flam five-stroke roll 14. flam six-stroke roll (old style with the sixth note as a single at the end) 15. flam five-stroke paradiddle 16. flam (if you count it separately since it’s included in the rudiments above) 17. cheese (if you count it separately since it’s included in the rudiments above) So 14 definite rudiments with 3 “maybes.”

I am 52. Will be 53 next month. I graduated HS in 1989. I played so tense throughout HS & college. I did earn my BS in MUED in 1994. Chickened out of my first job interview. Self esteem issues. I fell into law enforcement and will retire fully in 2028. I have been playing for right at 41 years now. I credit John Wooten and Bill Bachman for helping me to relax and become much better than i ever have been. I did not physically take lessons from them, however, I watched their videos soaked up what i could from them that way. I play drums at church and sing in choir to continue my music.

Great story. I had to unlearn a whole lot myself. ❤

Du duts ( exercise), flam accents, flam taps, flam drags, flam 5 stroke rolls, inverted flam taps. I will have listen again to get more. 😊 Swiss triplets...cheeses...drag a diddles, flam a diddle, flam 5 a diddle, cheese a diddle (drag a diddle with first part a cheese instead of a drag).

I’ll post what I consider to be the total this weekend. It’s interesting to see the different numbers people are counting.

Hey James! I was wondering if you could play Franken Flam? I would like to learn it because I bought the book a while back and I think hearing it would help a lot!

I am very new to percussion and wanted to try out for tenors next marching season. These videos were very helpful as a complete beginner :)

Hey James, im trying out for quint (or tenor drum) this summer is there any methods of losing up? I have a little trouble with doubles and I keep stiffening up. Awesome video though really helped.
