PitStar Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 At HHS, our drum room is a long narrow room. We have cubbys for all our junk, and on the far end more cubbys for Base/Tenor/Snare drums. It's never clean because we spend more time in there than anywhere else in the band hall, and there's usually food somewhere inside. Although there is a "no eating" rule, we kind of forget. Anyways, just wondering what everyone else's room is like. Quote
Gltokensp06 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Westfield's drum room is the exact same way. LOL. Right down to the "no eating" rule. We tried to keep it organized but it always found its dirty side maybe 2 days later. Much love to ya. Quote
DesertWind Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Amen to my HS's drum room. Kinda small, but the cubby stuff to the eating rule is the same. =X The annex where we store drums at UNT is pretty clean though. Quote

TX Suh-nare Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 Alomst non-existant. It's actually our percussion director's office. He just stole a big practice room, and we chill in there, eat lunch, watch DCI movies, pad it up. It's the coolest hangout in town! Quote
Keyboard_Countessa Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 We didn't have a "drum room," persay, but we did have a room for the pit and large concert band instruments, informally known as the pit room. It's fairly squareish and I was always super-picky about all the instruments being put up in the right places, to the point where I probably knew the layout better than the band directors. The battery used to have to put their instruments at the back of the band hall, but when the orchestra got a new classroom the band got the old orchestra room, which is where the battery stuff and drum/stand cases are kept. Other percussion paraphenalia are kept in the percussion director's office. Quote
Lustra.exe Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 We have a percussion room. It's called "The Cave". and there are slots for the drums that we end up druming on anyway. They have pretty good rebound, actually. but yeah, they're carpeted [the slots] and there are lockers too. so we basically live in there. Quote
txsweetheart183 Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 yea all the slots are carpeted for us too but we dont have lockers. Quote
TX Suh-nare Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 For a while, our percussion section constructed, "The Underground," which was basically a little room up in the roof (yes, it's name is the Underground even though it's in the celing.) It had a table, lights, a pad, several pair of sticks, you name it! Legend even has it there was a cooler up there acting as a refrigerator! Somehow, the fire marshall found out, the percussion director yelled our heads off about it (this was my freshman year, so I never got to enjoy it), and we had to get all the stuff out. Some of us still know the code on the door that acted as the entry way, though. But there's no talk to rebuild it. We just hide in there and scare people when they walk by it. Quote
Salesmonkey Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 We have a room called the "Blue Room" due to the fact that it has blue sound reducing things on the wall. Basically only the Drumline and pit are ever in there. Quote
G'townPIT Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 We have a percussion room, it's pretty spacious. Big enough for battery to have rehearsal in. Wall to wall carpeting too. Battery and Pit admittance only. Quote

5to5 Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Ours is tiny, cramped...and to be quite honest, I can hardly breath in there. It came to me as no surprise when they found a rat living in one of the slots... Quote
chhsbass Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 we have 2 rooms one is the size of 2 class rooms and that room has all the pit stuff and the other room has all the battery stuff and is about the size of a really big class room so, the 8 man snare line, 4 tenors, and 5 basses can all fit into the room with the pit stuff, and have a rehearsal Quote
bandnerdbea Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 We have a pretty big room carpeted floors.... It has cabinets for all the year round percussionists & a little spot for us marching season only percussionists (i.e. cymbals)! It has slots for the marching drums on the wall & is big enough to put all the pit stuff in & still move around.... Its pretty nice.... but its not totally sound proof so if drumline is practicing, get away!!!!! Ha ha i just wish ours could keep it clean for more than a weekend.... But we have fun in there!!!! Luv Bea Quote
Drummer Chick Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 We have three, partially because the freshmen are on a different campus, and partially because we have the largest high school marching band in the world, and therefore the messiest percussionists in the world. At the High School, we have two, one with cubbies that's used for battery percussion storage and changing clothes/ storing stuff, and one for storing the pit instruments, though both are incredibly messy, and entrance is barred to all people except percussionists and boy/girlfriends of percussionists. The Drum room at the freshman center is meticulously clean, mainly because quite a few of the freshmen percussionists this year are s, though really, it only looks clean, the crap is well hidden in instrument cases and cabinets, mostly because the directors threatened to lock us out of the drum room if it became a mess.

Luv Bea umm, briana? no. im sorry, this is what our drumroom is like: Quote We have a percussion room, it's pretty spacious. Big enough for battery to have rehearsal in. Wall to wall carpeting too. Battery and Pit admittance only. yeah, thats what it is for us, but we have so many keyboards and such a huge pit that we can never see the floor! for rehearsal we: a. move keyboards to one side and use the other for battery against the lifesized wall to wall mirror b. the front ensemble just plays without moving anything c. move both battery and pit into the rehearsal hall next door that's twice the size of our drum room and play in there. If 'c', then our drum room has carpeting and space but a or b, the room is covered in malet instruments. Quote
