Today, I was at a band practice. The band was talking to each other with language like "cadence", "resolution" and "consecutive fifths". When they spoke to me, they used terms like "tick", "bong", "ticky bong"; and "bongy tick". Musically, I feel like a baboon. FML

YDI. They are called parallel fifths, not consecutive.

They're sometimes referred to as consecutive 5ths.

Uhmm wow...in my school...percussion as a section has the best sheet music readers because we can count anything while dumb other sections can't go "one two and uh three ee and" retards. It's all about that "timing studies". And also!! A cadence is a short drum diddy they usually have stupid named like: Hillary, jungle love, crazy bucks, funk trio, wheelchair, Afro man, bass cadence, street beat, boogie bounce, Mexican hats...etc. And drummers at my school don't go tick or ticky bong. We have actual sayings that make a measure. Like a triplet is "1 la li" a sixtuplit "big ih duh big ih duh" but I guess ticky-bong would be liiiike 1e+... Counting is soooo easyyyy

Yes, but can we get that in English without the misspellings? And also, some punctuation?

Also a cadence is a resolution of chords at the end of a musical phrase...

80- Would you mind correcting your spelling and grammar? And also, hitting things is not that greatly difficult. You don't even have to read notes, so I wouldn't be making fun of other people for not being able to play something that may not be easy for them. I am a trumpet player in a high school band which has placed in the top three in state competitions, so I have a right to correct you.

I know what cadence, resolution and consecutive fifths are, but what the hell is a ticky bong?

103 - It's funny you say that because I am a percussionist in a top scoring band and I completely disagree with you. If you truly are in band, you're probably aware of how much practice the percussion section has? At least double the rest of the band. We don't practice all the time just to "hit stuff". Our music is just as complicated as the winds in different ways. So please. Remove your head out of your ass.

Basically the people in his band (band at like school, drums, trumpets blah blah) figured he was so dumb that he couldn't read music (or actually he probably doesn't know how to read music so HDI)

lol it took me awhile and I'm in chior. but I hear the word Cadence (and also being in JROTC) thought oh marching maybe he ment MARCHING band, but then I just realised that he was talking about the note. The band members when explaining a piece of music to each other without him used more muscially correct terms, yet when they explained it to him, thinking he was incapable of understanding such musically correct terms just "dumbed it down" a bit. So I think the "bong" "tick" "ticky bong" and "bongy tick" where supposed to be the other band students explaining the sound his instrument was ment to make. And just my guess (after having 3 brothers in band) it sounds like you're a drummer.

Sounds like you're a drummer. To be honest, it's probably because your bandmates don't know percussive technical terms. And even if they did, onomatopoeia is still the best way to describe what you mean when it comes to drums.
