Hahah we went a little crazy 😜

[@vrknyght8207]

Thanks to you guys, I finally pushed the button and got a practice chanter and a set of bagpipes. I can almost play a full scale now, the problem is the consistency, but I hear that comes with practice. Thank you for giving me the confidence to pull that trigger

[@mauricedrummingclass101tv5]

Wow you guys sound amazing and the sound track that your using sounds good as well. I like the sound of the drum set and Marching snare drum. I need a snare like that to use for drumming and practice besides the drum pads that I use to practice on. Keep up the great work "Apex Percussion"

Thanks Maurice!

Coming in with some really amazing production value! Great job! The bloopers and clips at the end were a nice touch.

[@ApexPercussion]

Haha yeah! 😅Always plenty of bloopers to go around!

[@asylumental]

Got those 2 pairs of drumsticks I ordered, and I gave them to the local Highschool music program. Its really not a big deal, but the music teacher was surprised and also very happy by the sentiment.

[@ApexPercussion]

Yo that's so awesome!! I'm sure they really appreciated it!

[@lukecarman9925]

You guys should play ditty 97

[@Dreamscape_xo]

Very nice, I was expecting some electric wheelchair / BD 2017 opener for the vocoder snare part but oh well :p

[@ApexPercussion]

Ooo we’ll throw that in the next one 👏🏼

Why the masks?

We filmed a few months ago when COVID cases in Nashville were up, so we did it as a courtesy to the staff there
