where can I learn about percussion instruments and their notation?
Adrian Wilson
here's an original comp
G C D fuck you you fuck
Lincoln Phillips
Orchestration books.
Adlers' "The Study of Orchestration" for example
Nicholas Martin
sweet, thanks. I have a nagging feeling that being ignorant of percussion instruments is what partly prohibits me from writing any modern style of popular music.
James Collins
>Arnold Schcoenberg
Logan Cruz
had a look at adler, interesting read and very insightful.
Would this also be the way to notate for a drumset, and would a common drummer be able to read this?

Huh, is there any reason the Kostka was removed from the OP?
dunno, I didn't make OP. Must be an older copy pasta.

Eli Cruz
actually, once I start improvising "under pressure", that is with people watching, all my theory knowledge flies out the window and I only produce shitty meme stuff.

>feel restricted by all the rules >completely removed my creativity
The rules are just a list of stuff composers figured out that doesn't sound as great, like 2 perfect fifths in a row. In that regard, it shows how your songs could reach their full harmonic or melodic potential. In the right circumstances, you can effectively break them.
As far as creativity is concerned, you get to a place one day where it ain't there and you need to carry on. As far as professional careers are concerned, it pays to have restrictions early on and figure out ways around them. When the rules get more lenient, the music will just flow out like a river.

>>finally learnt music theory >>feel restricted by all the rules >all the rules Yeah, I would feel restricted too if I had to establish a tonal center through non-tertian means in 12-tone integral serialism that properly prepares and resolves its non-chord tones under strict Seegerian counterpoint, with the secondary development making use of the hypophrygian of V to get back to i for the second theme, remaining athematic all the way
Thank goodness, if "12-tone", "strict Seegerian counterpoint" and "hypophrygian of V" somehow came together to impress someone I'd have to put considerable distance between myself and them before I'm forced to take part in this madness
