Does anyone here know how to use the sampler? I'd really like to use it for arranging indoor percussion pieces I think it'd be very useful but I just can't figure it out I have been looking everywhere. 

In context of #MuseScoreMonday we have added a new score.
This time a Warming Up sequence for Snare, Bass and Cymbals.
Check it out and enjoy!

Does anyone know what it's called when you play the white keys of a marimba on the front edge with the sticks of the mallets?

I'm looking for some good source music for a marching show that I'm going to be starting here pretty soon. If you have any ideas please contact me. If you want to help or join my team that would be great as well. It's a plus if you live in Central Texas (Austin) so that we can collab pretty often and closely.
I already have ideas for my show starting with:
- Either a 3 or 4 movement show
Some pieces I'm thinking of using come from the following composers:
- David R. Gillingham
- Gustav Holst
- Tchaikovsky
- David Beidenbender
- Alan Hovhaness 
- Ivan Trevino

Just curious how many of y’all are getting ready for drum corps auditions? Or if you’ve already auditioned how’d it go? Where are you going to march? Maybe we can meet up over the summer (probably not but you never know)

I’ll be on the road once again with the Blue Devils for my age out

2018 is turning out to be a pretty amazing year. So many groups are SO SO good!

Who are your favorites so far this season?

Favorite show?

Favorite book?

Who do you think is most improved this year compared to last?

Do I need to learn Stevens grip for drum corps (namely Columbians)?

Thanks!

Hey there! For some unknown reason, my MuseScore Drumline Extension quit a few days ago, and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both MuseScore and MuseScore Drumline. It will not play—even when I'm adding the notes in on the software—and there's no playback. I didn't do anything to make it stop working, but maybe I can keep trying to reinstall it and see if it works. If anyone has a similar problem, please let me know as soon as possible. I have a huge drumline project due, and if MuseScore Drumline does not work, I won't know what to do.
Thank you!

I don't know about other people who use MDL but I think it would be great if cymbals had more options than just the six that are there. Some good ones would be:
- Crash chokes
- Hi Hat
- Tap chokes
- Sizzle sucks (also called splash chokes, sizz-ucks)
- Clicks

Examples of most of these are demonstrated in these videos:

Is there any chance that we can get more cymbal sounds in future updates of MDL?

I was curious if there was a way to make a gock shot using the new MDL

would love to preset automatic sticking, for CMD/T shortcut

exercise of music

I really love mdl but i really want the new sounds to be added and I dont think we have gotten an update since about a week after it came out

Looking for a percussion writer who would want to contribute to a collaboration piece. Not looking for anything super serious just someone to write some cool battery and front parts for one of the pieces I've written.

here is an idea for a film music contest.
here is the scene:
Supergirl and wonderwoman are in a face-off and are getting ready to fight.

The challenge:
Write themes for each character.
incorporate the themes into suspenseful music to accompany the scene showing them getting ready to fight.

Any one interested?

Deadline is July 31.

Would anybody be willing to transcribe Blue Devils 1996 "Club Blue" A Gangsters Chronicle?
