      @yourlocaldrumaddict 7 месяцев назад

      @@bennettmercurio It’s really hard to explain, but basically the best way to write percussion is to play the brass recording and improvise along with a practice pad or somthing. Beginner percussionists can’t do it as well because they haven’t read as much music. So with percussion you have to be familiar with lots of different styles of writing. So it really comes with experience. I don’t know how a non percussionist can improve writing, so I Geuss just find an experienced percussionist willing to help you. You can send musescore files by going to “file” and then “save as”. That should help you. Good luck!

    Nice arrangement but there is a lot of dissonance between the instrument groups sometimes. Maybe you've got to adjust the volume of the support groups or take a look at the harmonics. Especially pronouced at 0:25 for example.
