I've played percussion ever since the 5th grade. My first choice was to play saxaphone, but hitting things with sticks turned out to be much more enjoyable to me. :P

I'm strictly battery though. No mallets for me. I played snare for my freshmen year in my old high school's marching band, and now I play the quads for my new high school. I've had nothing but fun with them. I'll play whatever(cept mallets ) in Concert band. Crash cymbals, bass drum, snare, timpanis, whatever.

Mmhm.
