What would happen only in the percussion section?
What can be understood only in the percussion section?
Tell specific stories, or make general observations about how percussion differentiates from the rest of the band. I'll start off with one.
Only in percussion, can you ask for a brush and not mean the kind for your hair.
Interesting story about that one. When I was a naive first year percussionist, one of the drummers asked if I had a brush, and I responded, completely serious, "No... But, I have a comb." I know better now.

Only in the percussion section can you act completely "gay", and get away with it. I am a drummer myself and I love being a part of a group of people who honnestly know how to have a good time. We come up with stupid sayings and enjoy the fact that nobody else knows what in the hell we are talking about. We do stupid things, like daring one of our drummers to " do a line" of Zaxby's seasoning right before a show. Only in the percussion section section could we get away with yelling out obsenities and the word "multi-racial" in a drum huddle before halftime. There are so many more things that drummers are priveledged to do. We don't think that we are better than anyone else. Being a drummer simply means that we are.

Only in the percussion section can you hide behind your instruments and shoot spitballs at eachother during the many times that the BD has to work with other sections.

I don't know about any other percussion section, but ours has the ability to (sort of) understand "Gary-speech"-- that is, the unique language spoken only by a percussion instructer.
It goes something like this:
"Snares, now you part is like a, 'Ratatata-Tattatta! Bockitybockitybock bock Cho!' And then right about.... 'Crash! Crash, cymbals!'" *hangs head in shame*
Cymbals:O.o ... CRASH!

ONLY in the percussion section, can get in trouble for sitting down too much... cry
And in my drumline in particular, can you litterally punch someone so hard and so many times that they fall down.. then prceed to kick them... and then 20 mins later be best friends...
^ we are an unusually violent drumline... the girls (there's only 4 of us inth perc. class) are the most violent... 3nodding

Only in the percussion section can you get away with saying "doush-ka" Infront of your whole band, the director, and his wife.
(one of our snares was sounding out a peice for our band, standing on the podium telling them what part they came in after)
