The professional asshole of the band. Cymbals, the grunts if the section, are responsible for getting the higher caliber percussionists' stands and music. Snares, the drive of the section, hit each others sticks out of their hands, turns off one anothers' snares, and blames the cymbals for mistakes. Likes hitting rimshots as loud as possible even when not appropriate. Quints or Quads, have the biggest egos of the section and tend to boss everyone around. Also Bass Drums. Who really just serve as targets for the Snares or the Quints' sticks.
Percussionists-Snare: Cymbals! Stop fucking around and get back on beat!
Quints: We are so great that we dont even need a director. All other instruments are inferior.
Cymbals: Pancakes!
Bass: STOP HITTING MY DRUM

Fitz: it's "drag, drag, drag flam flam"
Percussionist: how would you know you never played snare
Fitz: my brother did and he's an example of why this band needs to get their act together. You guys talk way too much. The judge said we should play harder music but I'm obviously more experienced than him and I know we need to play 7th grade music again
