Carmen is my clarinet and the first instrument I have ever played (Besides the recorder). I love playing the clarinet so much. My favorite stuff to play on the clarinet is jazz and concert band music.

I play the bass clarinet the most at school for concert, jazz, marching band and all state band. Love the bass clarinet

Sticks/Mallets

The worst part about being a percussionist is not being able to name/own your drums. I play the timpani for my schools indoor percussion group and snare drum on the side. I usually call any drum I play my hoe though. I dont have a name for these guys yet but I love percussion so here they are

Taping my drumsticks is such a fun thing

I named my instrument after the drummer in twenty one pilots :S

The reason I started playing was to play twenty one pilots songs

As you can see, I was a twenty one pilots fan in middle school

Instruments I would love to get

my own bass clarinet

Accessories!!

Neck Straps/Harnesses

I ususally don't use a neckstrap or harness when playing any intrument, but for marching season I alternated between the neck strap and harness you see here. The neck strap is definitly better if you are sitting down or not playing for a long time, but if you have a parade, use the harness. Your neck will thank you later.

Other fun stuff

Thumb Pads!

So so so helpful if you play clarinet. And they come in a bunch of cool colors too!

Tuners

Idk why but I have so many tuners.

Reeds :)

I've used so many reeds over the years but my favorites have been the Vandoran 3.5 reeds and the legere synthetic 3.25/3.75 reeds. Rico reeds are okay, but I've found that the Vandoran reeds last a lot longer and have a higer quality in tone.
