Okay, so it's timpani. Looks simple. All quarter notes, a couple rolls. Perfect this will be easy. NOT EASY! MAN DOWN MAN DOWN! Looks extremely easy. It's not, not at all. I need to practice more. I know all of the notes, just I need to figure out where I want what notes on what drums. The tempo is the part that's killing me. Going to have to go slower to get it down.
NOTHING is as it seems. Nope nothing. I repeat nothing. "Oh bass drum pft that's usually easy." This is high school not easy, I decided I'm going to have to use two bass drum sticks in order to hit the eighth notes in measure 49. From measure 49 until the end it's pretty easy with two sticks.
I now get it a lot better all I needed to do was work on it. Now I am able to play it better along with the snare drum.

Crash has always been a friend of mine. Crash and I are great friends. It's easy to understand I get it all the way until the time change. It goes from decently slow 4/4 to pretty fast 3/3. Through out the song I only play on the first beat but I still have to have the counting right. At 37 is where it changes. From 37 to 41 I'm lost then afterwards I'm back at it getting it again. Going to have to work on those couple of measures.
I get this song a lot better now I think I have it down, all I needed to do was work on it.
Bells... bells. The beginning I got right away. Just at measure 31 there is a swing happening that I don't quite get yet. I know the notes how to play them just the swing is throwing me off. Besides that it is a really good song that I can play. It might also be easier for me because I've been practicing at home. Going to have to practice a little more then I'm good.
