So You Think You Can Drum?

Last night I met Broadway percussionist Monica Del Valle opening rehearsals for the Los Angeles tour of Wicked the Musical.

In this video she's playing a rehearsal with the Broadway touring company in Mexico a few years back. There are monitors above her where she can see the conductor and what's happening on stage.

I wish I could!! wish I had dedicated the time when I had the chance to learn some... lol

and great video, very nice to see involved she gets and all the fun that goes with it, I really like this kind of shots/videos they really show the love for it

No, my drumming career is spectacular but short lived and hardly worth talking about. (It involves playing on stage with the Utah Symphony, yes it was in front of an audience, and is not nearly as great as it sounds)

I know the basics of drumming, and I can play simple rhythms, but I am not a drummer.

Probably if I had a real drum set and practiced. I used the drums on Guitar Hero years ago and it seemed easy with the two symbols, 3 drums, and the bass drum/foot pedal. The drum set is much closer to a real instrument experience than the fake guitar was with plastic buttons.

That’s amazing!! I love watching the interments section during a musical! There always so amazing!

[Wish4UrB00ty]

So I guess you are playing for the wicked orchestra?

I would much rather listen to the recording a thousand times than read sheet music! 😅

One of the things I wish I could of done when I picked up a musical interment was drums, but I settled for the brass trumpet instead.

so much respect for drummers! my left arm has absolutely no talent at all

[Finchie40]

I know the basics of drumming but by far not awesome at it lol I am more of a bass player

[KostasKouvalis]

Anyone can drum. It's the instrument you play when you can't play anything else. It's literraly just banging sticks on a drum

[Rudon00]

I cannot play an instrument but I can sing given the training I got from my choir in church 😁😁

[nawtee_me]

I have played on a drum set but I am not a drummer.

[Guy13]

Nope, sure can't do that !!

[CateM]

I know I can't drum, I'm a guitarist

[Andres77]
