I’ve always been a big concert goer, now I just watch YouTube videos and blog about music. I used to go to about at least three concerts a month, but then I got older and now have more responsibility. When I do go to concerts I am the person who is there for the music and for the music only. I don’t go there to get into the crowds, to mosh pit or pick fights like a lot of other people do nowadays which I find really annoying. It seems like there always have to be people at every show that make it hard to enjoy. I came up with a list of five things that you or anybody else shouldn’t do at a concert.
Don’t slam crowd surfers into the ground or punch them for no reason. Yes, I agree crowd surfers are really annoying, but that doesn’t give anybody the right to hurt them. Sometimes people crowd surf to get out of the crowd so they can breathe again. I’ve seen way to many people do stuff like this for no apparent reason.
We would have to play the same sounds worldwide for this to be acceptable, and there are hundreds of different types of music. Your best bet is to request free drum samples, allowing you to hear the sounds that the drum and accessories are capable of producing before you agree to make a major purchase.
Different Beats
It takes different beats, sounds, and accessories to achieve the hottest sounds in the world, so you should know what to buy and when so that you get the perfect drum sound. Drum samples allow you to buy once and listen to the sound over and over, so that you feel the beat as you play it, perfecting each sound and making it your own. You can get free clips to get a feel for which sample is right for you.
For instance, you have some experience playing drums, but you want a real Johnny Juliano sound when you play. It is not enough to hear the beat in your head, you want to feel it throughout your body with each beat, so a free drum sample of this beat is the way to go for you.

To play violin in orchestra, you need to keep a stable head on your shoulders! There is a lot to listen to all around you, and the fact of the matter is it is very, very easy to get lost in it all. Between violins, viola, cello, bass, percussion, woodwinds, brass, and vocals, you are going to need to really know your part very well to see how it fits into the rest of the orchestra. Here are some solid tips for playing violin in orchestra that you will want to get into your head if you plan on playing in an orchestra any time soon.
First rule of all when playing violin in orchestra: watch the conductor! He or she holds down the beat at all times. If you lose track of that beat, you lose track of the orchestra as a whole and can quickly fall behind and lose your part in the music. Don’t allow this to happen. Even when looking down at the music, keep your peripheral vision focused clearly and distinctly on the conductor’s baton so that you play with his lead and don’t allow yourself to become lost in the haze of the music.
