Drumline: In the Winter

Winterline is what it's better know as. A national motto or at least one in our school is, "Crap, we have to that today?" “The i-don't-care-meter is as far in the red zone as ever before.”-Lars Ulrich. (i edited out the profanity.)Really it is almost and inside joke in a way. No matter what you hear from anyone drummers are naturally lazy, period. Its almost a requirement. Rudiments and shortcuts make playing easier and easier, but it sounds harder and harder. Now I'm rambling, another foundation of drumming, ADD. Anyways, back to Winterline. It's what we do in off-season in a way. Like footballers who run track to stay in shape for the next season. It's probably the most competitive drumming anyone will ever observe. Even though our line is fledgling, we look toward the future of our competitions. The WGI finals is what we aim for. As Neil Peart once said, "“You don't get something for nothing, You can't have freedom for free, You won't get wise with the sleep still in your eyes, No matter what your dreams might be.” We might be a little small and little on the low end of the amazingness-meter but we still try a lot.
