I was a field snare percussionist years ago in high school. Now I am teaching my daughter about how to read sheet music and listening to the beats. It is amazing how quickly younger brains can pick this stuff up and literally hear & see the detail.
I come back almost 5 years later and still admire the ballsy-ness of this book. They said, “we’re gonna ram notes, and you’re gonna like it.” This line was so so cohesive too
Congrats Cabs! Excellent playing of those parts which are also very interesting. On a slightly negative note, I go back a ways when people liked corps that portrayed a style that went along with their name like the Kilties (Scottish) 27th Lancers (British), Bridgeman (Broadway) Troopers (American West) and yes, the Caballeros (Spanish). D.C.I. has pushed a certain style so it is impossible for these corps and others like them, to portray a style consistent with three name any more. It was a great time in drum corps that is gone. Anyway, a big congrats for your achievement and your hard work to play some very complex parts. Congrats to the writer for some meticulous scoring of the music.
I think this was the Trumbull show, I remember my school had just got done performing and we were watching other groups perform and we couldn’t see United cause of the big props 😂
This brings back memories of when I first tried learning drumline music in 2019-2020. SCV was definitely the standard of the hardest, highest-reward music for me. This is that.
It makes the rim physically wider, so you need about a cm less lug torsion. This lets you crank bass 1 very high without putting massive stress on the hardware
