Rhythm is your instrument. Track it with precision.
Percussion demands mastery across multiple instruments. Snare technique, mallet control, timpani, sight-reading. Track rhythm accuracy, monitor stick control, measure timing precision across all percussion fundamentals—so judges hear a prepared percussionist.
Your Challenges
Common percussion trouble spots
Sight-reading across multiple instruments
Percussion auditions cover snare, mallets, timpani, and more. Sight-reading demands are intense. You need to prepare on every instrument.
Snare technique and rudiments
Stick control, dynamics, and rudiment execution are fundamental. Uneven doubles, sloppy flams, or inconsistent dynamics are obvious to judges.
Mallet percussion accuracy
Mallet control requires precision. Uneven rolls, timing inconsistencies, and inaccurate mallets kills even good musicality.
Timpani tuning and technique
Timpani demands accurate tuning and consistent execution. Sloppy technique or inaccurate notes are immediately heard.
Multi-percussion setup and navigation
Auditions demand quick setup and navigation between instruments. One dropped mallet or missed entrance costs points.
