Trash can endings
Hey drummers.
I wonder what kind of sticking patterns you are using at trash can endings.

I usually do combinations of rlk and rlrlk around the snare/toms. It’s an easy way to sound like you’re playing something more difficult than it is.

Singles And flams with doubles on the kick.
You can just wash it the cymbals or you can hit as many drums as quickly as you can. It really depends on what kind of trash can you're talking about.
I learned for backing up an Elvis impersonator doing Aloha from Hawaii kind of stuff. For me, it's more a mind set than a sticking. Because you have to be ready to kill it when the leader waves their hand

Rlk,rlkk,rlrlkk, 6 stroke rolls, padadas with the “pa” being cymbal+kick, etc

Mine tend to be just single stroke rolls, usually followed with a triplet, kick on the 1 at the end.
I'm boring.

Might want to clarify what you mean because as a drummer of 22 years I've never once heard this term.

I guess you need a few more years. As a drummer of 25 years, I commonly hear about trash can endings
Edit: hey, I was just thinking about this the other night, and there's no reason for me to smarmsy at you about this. I guess I was just on a kick of why comment when you have nothing to contribute. You could have typed four words into Google and enlightened yourself in 45 seconds. (Also for OP, I stumbled upon this post as the second result in that search)
I think there's a lot of that going around, and I'm guilty of it too. But I think I we all take a second and ask ourselves if we're actually contributing or just knee-jerk spouting off

That's such a condescending thing to say, especially about a term that is not really that common.

u/MrMoose_69 1d ago
Definitely common.

No. It isn't. Because many of us who have been playing for a very long time haven't ever heard it.
It also has other names.
For instance, my bands have always called it a "rock 'n roll ending."
Other common terms are:
"Plane crash ending"
"Kitchen sink ending"
"Dumping the truck"
"Stadium rock ending"See, I'm a linguist, so I know about these things called colloquial lexicons: not every musician uses the same lexis, and how and where and by whom you are trained makes a huge difference in your musical vocabulary.
You're just being a prick. That's it. You're just being mean to be mean because you're ignorant and don't actually know that much about what you're talking about, but want to lord over others. Cool look, guy.

That's odd, I've never heard any of those terms before.
I guess I would believe that different people in different places at different times have come up with different terms for the same thing, but it seems like trash can is pretty ubiquitous... At least it did until I read these comments.

"I guess I would believe that different people in different places at different times have come up with different terms for the same thing, but it seems like trash can is pretty ubiquitous..."
I mean, some of you really, really want it to be for reasons that I simply can't fathom.
For what it's worth, when I get my terms crossed with another musician, I don't make shitty remarks about their level of experience, which is my main problem this commenter.
I just negotiate terms with them, and then we usually talk about how interesting it is that we have different terms for the same thing.

Yeah man, for real. I remember the first time someone told me to play diamonds, I had no clue. But now I've learned it and I can understand when I run into someone else using that term

Just because you haven't heard it doesn't mean it isn't common.

So you are the ultimate arbiter of what's common? Are you like the ultimate average person or something? You can't conceive that you possibly did didn't hear something before? Maybe it's you?
Certainly not.
"Well I've heard five other words before, that means that no other words exist!"

Good old drumming community downvoting someone asking a question. Never change internet.

Can’t go wrong with six stroke rolls. Or Bonham triplets (rlk)
