I'm sooo glad the drumset's finally back. All along I thought it was Andrew Chia playing it, turns out it's Mr Mizar! I really cannot stand the way the teachers handle it >:C
First of all, they dismantled the toms to move it separately, which I guess is okay. BUT, they stacked one of the toms onto the floor tom which I think would damage the skin then they took the chair apart O.o and stacked the seat on top of the tom on the floor tom! D8 I didn't know whether to tell them not to do that, because then we wouldn't have enough hands and they'd have to leave the tom alone on the floor and come back to get it.
Secondly, Mr Mizar doesn't close the hi-hat, neither does he turn the snare off when he's done playing with it! So on Friday after NDP celebrations (which didn't end very nicely), the drumset got wheeled back into the band room and I turned off the snare, only to find that I couldn't turn it on again!
Thirdly, the screw INSIDE the right-side tom had come off somewhere between their rehearsals and the time the juniors and I helped move it to the recording studio. So Kai and I unscrewed the skin and screwed the nut back. I also took the opportunity to clean the extremely dusty toms. Underneath (hidden by) that, erm, cloudy exterior, the tom has a very nice looking wooden inside! Kai also says it has a nice smell, but I beg to differ.
This is the side of the inside of the drumset tom! Can see that it's wood :D but my camera *ahem ahem* phone couldn't get the color nicely due to lighting.Yeah okay. I need to educate the directs on proper instru handling, and the juniors on how to screw/unscrew/fix instrus.
Okay random picture from Sam's last band cca day (I can't really say prac, since it wasn't a prac...) I just thought XE looked very funny staring into the, erm, I want to say water container? Not sure what Aliza's drinking out of.Yeah i think that's all.
(See my nails, they're white!) Happy National Day, section! 8)Love,
Deborah
