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

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. FYL if you're not a drummer.

It's probably a type of code...maybe you can find things out and speak their "language"

a fifth note note is mathematically incorrect. however OP shouldn't have expected everyone to understand sheet music.

Ugh. I was the bassist in a band for awhile (until we split up) and I got the same treatment even though I was the only member of the band with any formal musical training. Rhythm section problems, eh?
