He was a wonderful man who will be sorely missed. I first met him in 1979 while auditioning for Juilliard and was struck even then by his warmth and positive outlook.  A couple of years later I became his student. He was thorough and supportive. He was also a character in the best sense of the word. All of his students have their favorite Rolandisms. I remember a mixed metaphor that I was particulary fond of. He referred to something as &#8220;neither hill nor beans,&#8221; which I take to be a combination of not worth a hill of beans and neither here nor there.  Another time we were discussing sewing timpani sticks and the various things we might use to sew the seams with. I said that I used dental floss and without looking up Roland said, &#8220;You should. Every day.&#8221; We all laughed but he never cracked a smile. I&#8217;ll never know if he was joking or not!<br \/>\nThis is one of the only pictures I have of Roland. My wife, Gina, and I were in NYC in 1991 and Roland snuck us into a closed NYP rehearsal. It&#8217;s a little fuzzy, but I still like it!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rubright.com\/percussion\/perc_graphics\/t_g_roland.jpg\" alt=\"Ted, Gina and Roland\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It with great sadness that I heard about the passing of my teacher and friend, Roland Kohloff.
