I'm doing my music homework which involves listening to drums and writing down the rhythms. The dog thinks someone is at the door. :) I'm going to have to use headphones. :)
Hugs,

hah
Sounds like fun. I don't want to think how my two would react to that. I have enough trouble with ads where there's a doorbell. Not to mention Nature doco's with wolves howling. Oh dear. Must be genetic memory or something. Happy counting.

I DO use headphones
and the people next door still think I'm out there chopping wood. They must be mental thinking I can chop that fast :)
Curious--even electronic drums make a hell of a racket (I have a little Yamaha DTII Express kit).
I'm alright with triplets, paradiddles and flams, but I still have a few problems with the Moeller method. I don't get the bounce off the pads I'd like and using carbon fibre sticks--which as expensive as they were, don't give the response I'd like, but they are almost bomb proof--by Christ they need to be at $30 a pair.
Still, for banging out a bit of Rainbow or Whitesnake or G'n'R, they're fine. I just need to practice more...
Happy tapping, Erin
I don't just look it, I really AM that bad...
Music Practice and Pets...
Our dog is very curious, when it comes to clarinet/oboe sounds, and sticks her nose in the bell to sniff... Oooo the surprised jump, when the instrument makes a sound. She also likes to sing with the other girls in the house that are capable of singing on key (Spouse & daughters). Sadly, she does better than I do, I think.
Interestingly, she has no curiosity at all about the french horn the youngest is learning to play. Nor did she have any interest in the piano. Go figure. I guess even our pets have opinions on music. (Of course they do.)

Pitch
Dogs can hear very high pitched sounds, I suspect that the woodwinds make some such noise that intrigues your dog. Mine ignores the piano unless I play a descending major third, C# to A above middle C. With the right rhythm, it sounds like the doorbell. :)
