Today, I was at a band practice. The band was talking to each other with language like "cadence", "resolution" and "consecutive fifths". When they spoke to me, they used terms like "tick", "bong", "ticky bong"; and "bongy tick". Musically, I feel like a baboon. FML

Sounds like you're a drummer. To be honest, it's probably because your bandmates don't know percussive technical terms. And even if they did, onomatopoeia is still the best way to describe what you mean when it comes to drums. FYL if you're not a drummer.

Please, I can't even understand THAT, and I've been playing music for eight years. Just because you don't speak "italian" music, doesn't make you dumb, and they should know that. And if they don't, tell them they know where they can stick their "intellectual lingo" ;)

when explainiing a drummer what to play I usually beatbox it. it's just easier to "imagine" the sound when doing that then using musical terms
