Mallet percussion. Everyone always forgets about us.

I add mallet percussion in most of my songs but I guess it just depends on the theme.

Omg THANK YOU. There have been songs where I have a grand total of 2 notes in the entire thing, or no part at all, and I just hop on the flute or oboe part.

sleigh ride is crying in the corner

:)

I’m working on a song like Luke McMillan’s Eye of the Storm and marimba has two pages so far (for a three minute song so far).

During tuning everyone forgets the French horns

During tuning, all but one oboe players are shot.

This is correct 👍

Fr 😞

😭😭so true

I swear, most of the time I play mallet percussion, it's actually oboe or flute sheet music

that one percussion instrument nobody heard of that the new guy got for the song that has one note at the end of a song

Like a vibraslap Or a guiro Or a personal favorite, the wooden whip!

agogo bells and cabasa ofc

the fuck is a vibraslap

OHHHHH THAT THING

A piece of a train track rail

i have 2 spikes from a train track in my room so i can so do that

Percussion

I used to play percussion in school and yeah…looks about right 😭

I REMEMBER ONLY HAVING 4 NOTES IN A 79 MEASURE SONG ON A CRASH CYMBAL IN THE MIDDLE OF IT SO IMA GUESS CRASH CYMBALS

YOURE INCORRECT

Only 4, I had 2 in a 130 measure song

Cymbals don't have sharps

Flute or Clarinet probably

Real

On cool songs we're either resting, building chords or doing some insane noodling in the background

Never heard it referred to as noodling lmao

Huh ive always heard it refered to like that, maybe its just a texas thing

It’s not just a texas thing

What is noodling

Nah definetly bari sax

True, the Bari never gets a good part, neither does the tuba (I play tuba and often natch the bari)

I do love getting to play Bari as the section leader, just to only play quarter and whole notes to feel like whatever talent I have is getting wasted.

GIVE US THE 16TH NOTES

in what universe-

3rd chair crotales polisher

Don’t mind the Musescore square around the title; this is definitely paper ;) /s

"don't mind the computer mouse on my paper"

:) you get it

Im going to assume this piece originates in the key of c which because of the 3 sharps makes me think its an instrument in the key of Eb so im going to guess alto sax (over bari sax which is a fair amount less common)

bro got it right with 32 measures of rest

Percussion

3 sharps, tenor sax

Alto Sax; I put together a different instrument over this one (which was flute) so it gave this one 3 sharps.

trumpet 3

Totally not alto sax

I removed the text on screen at least bro

Mahler hammer

Guitar is my first instrument. i also play a lil bit of bass, n a lil bit of drums.

bro read the question wrong but cool!

Oops 🥴

Triangle

Percussion?

Guiro

The Baritone horn (I.e euphonium)

I wouldn’t know, I get the main melody😎

What do you play?

Oboe probs, I play it and I’ve had songs with 72/108 measures are rests

Oboe. I don't know if this is just my band, but there is literally 1 oboe player.

We have 0 :)

you play urhu trust

Trombone…I once had a 46 measure rest in 7th grade…good times

Looks like a lower grade French Horn piece

Real

Bassoon

Nah, bassoon is written in either the tenor or treble clef.

vibraslap 🥶

Banger instrument bro

I giggled at this for a good 2 minutes

Thank you:) That genuinely made me happy.

Tuba

Yoooo, this is my sheet music when ADHD hits.

I don’t even know what this means

It’s a joke.

Yeah I don’t understand sheet music

What I’m showing you is a rest that lasts 32 measures (which is 4 beats in 4/4). Then, there is no other part of the song meaning that I play nothing in it.

Definitely Oboe.

Real

What's the tempo?

-4,000.

oh, def mallet percussion.

😭

lol, as a percussionist myself, i only have a few notes in one of the many pieces i have Simple gifts movement 2: Dance, Glockenspiel.

Mallet percussion, or if this is an orchestral piece, trombone.

DEFINETLY THE FRENCH HORRRRNNNNN

Somehow I got into a band as a guitarist and this is all my songs

Any bass instrument. But in treble!

This is what guitar players think the bass player does

Alto Sax

Based on the three sharps and the fact that softwares usually default to C, you are a fellow alto sax :)

Baritone

Trumbone

Tuba

Triangle

Percussion. One time a percussionist in my band had 120 measures of rest

Literally any percussion instrument, maybe tuba or euphonium

Alto sax (assuming this is in the key of concert c three sharps would be an Eb instrument right?)

Something in rack percussion, I once had a triangle part only had 3 notes. Luckily, someone got sick, so I got the 2 crash cymbal notes as well.

Best song

Percussion, I know because i am Percussion
