Drumline Friends!
If you think there’s a stereotype he missed, leave it in the comments. If we get enough together, we can do a version 2.0!
Big thanks to Eric Carr!

- Creepy Gay “Acting” Vet
- Stoner
- How about just a straight-up tick?
Dude….funny as hell…..I know or have taught every one of those kids, some of them more than once.
How about the “I don’t even want to be here” guy
How about the vet who thinks he has the chops to hang with the new guys just cause he has been there for years/ vet with no hands
-let’s grid everything guy
How about the kid who joined just to skip gym class. I’ve had a kid like that on every high school line I’ve been with.
Now that I think about it, what about the kid that learned every feature ever written, but can’t play them for his life?
What about the kid that can never get left-right-left-right-left-right down and instead always does right-left-right-left-right-left?
How about “smells like a hoagie”
the guy who breaks all the heads
the guys who drops his sticks
the guy who plays taps at 12
the guys who’s never in time
the guy who’s always on the wrong foot
the hippie
the guy with the stick tricks
the hot one
the guys who always shows up late… with coffee
the protege
the guy who’s always on his phone
“7 foot tall skinny white guy on bass 5″
kid who doesnt perform
kid who doesnt look forward when then play
kid who’s not set
kid who has pinky off stick
kid who talks during instructions
all my favorites.
- The cocky and arrogant kid who just came back from drum corps.
(I can see that one now. No shirt, carrier tan, looks like he hasn’t slept in ages.)
-Kid who thinks drum line is rock band…
-DCI junkie (every dvd, all the t-shirts, you know what I mean)
-The one that SHOULD NOT be a section leader although he already is.
-The kid who always practices with the wrong technique.
-The kid who thinks he can tune and tunes all the drums wrong.
-Kid who always gets sunburnt.
-The “I can’t march sideways” bass player.
-The brass player that just magically fits in with the drumline.
-The kid who never learns his drill charts and just tries to fit in formation with everyone else.
-The cocky one that has no chops and no technique.
-The one that doesn’t know what a rudiment is.
-The one who thinks it would be funny to have the tenors play traditional.
-The tenor player who wants to add cross-overs to EVERYTHING.
-The “lets add some diddles here, here, here, here….) kid.
-Kid who always complains that his drum is too heavy.
-The senior that always tells him or her to shut up.
-The kid who has the chops and the technique, but can’t march.
-The kid that wants to take EVERYTHING at 200bpm (Some things are meant to be slow. Sheesh.)
-The kid that spends more time on DCI music than his high school or college show music. (Not NECCESARILLY bad, but you know…)
-The snare player that knows EVERY hybrid rudiment.
-The “I don’t know my C Major Scale” kid.
-The “I don’t know my A Minor Scale” kid. (More understandable. My high school never had us learn the minor scales.)
-The kid who is ALWAYS practicing. (That’s me =D )
Need alot more for pit kids to
Wow.. my line has one of everyone of those.. and some are more than just one..
Here are some pit people:
I can’t believe we haven’t got the racktard
The kid who leaves their senior year to march with an independent line because they don’t want to do it in college
The other kid who leaves to march a PIW line and is better than everyone else
The vibe player who is better than marimba 1 but likes pedaling and
Burton grip better than the glory of marimba 1
What about a sheet for the instructors:
The ones who don’t get along
The ones who give contradictory instructions (oftentimes the same as #1)
The one who magically makes the ensemble be better just by showing up
The one who tells stories and jokes all the time
ect…
1. The girly girl who can somehow handle 5th bass like a pro.
2. The kid who opens his mouth only to hear a chorus of “oh my god, please shut up!!!”
3. The kid who everyone hates because he complained and complained until he got the spot he wanted and can’t play so he/she makes the drumline soooo much dirtier.
I forgot: the old man of the drumline
Can we get one for Drumline Instructors to? A few I can think off
- Just graduated from the HS he’s teaching last year
- Rodger Carter Look alike/wannabe
- Scott Johnson look alike/wannabe
- Walking endorsement instructor
- THE visual tech
- Cocky caption head
- 1st year caption head
- Over hyping during shows and in the lot
The list could go on and on

Pit:

The one pit member who carries the entire pit
The tone deaf timpani guy
The music theory guru who annoys everyone because they know every scale in every mode and ever minor..
The guy who is 20 times better than everyone else but is held back by the other people..
The spaz who runs around with a football or plays tag on water breaks but then complains they are tired during the next block of marching
how about the butt-grabber? that’s the center snare at my high school.
the “let’s throw the football around” guy.
the over thinks everything guy.
the kid who can somehow play crazy bass splits but doesn’t know how to use his fingers.

the Qutie Pie Bass 1 is so true.

Yeah, where is the “Percussion Friends”?
I was thinking of the “I can play a 4 mallet marimba part but can’t do a roll in traditional” guy XP
haha, our drumline has lots of these people.
we definitely the guy who drops his sticks.
he thinks he so freaking cool and always does stick tricks. and over half the time he drops them.
he thinks he’s the best ever, when this is his first year in the drumline.
and sadly we do not have a screaming DUT guy this year.
its horrible, i always used the duts to know when to step off and everything:p
but last year, boy did we ever.
cam. he is legendary for his dutting! haha
the watch out for that guy,

the jizz tot.
or the person who can’t dut worth a crap.
the third bass that dances when everyone else is set.
“1. The girly girl who can somehow handle 5th bass like a pro.”

dub p – “color-guard whore”
Waiting for someone to say it. Hot colorguard chicks are easy, and love them some drummers. I knew there had to be a reason they were out there. Friends, be that colorguard whore, and relish it! Some awesome, awesome stuff here that I’m sure we can all identify with in some way. Great stuff, guys.
