    Tread lightly into this comment section, for there are many high schoolers who can't get over the fact that the professional musicians in this video aren't using the same technique taught by their drumline instructor.

      The comments critiquing the snare players technique pain me, a lot of them don’t understand that orchestral drumming is waaay different from highschool drumming, or that these people have been mastering their craft for years and know what they’re doing.

      The percussionist is probably locating that.

      However, if you're too broke to afford a cannon or too weak to carry it in (shame on you), you could use a wooden beater or a hard felt beater on a bass drum. Doesn't have the same effect though.

    Heads up:
    1. Orchestral technique and marching technique are stark opposites.
    2. Tension is not always bad. The snare drum was doing upstrokes to get a staccato sound out of the drum.
    3. Orchestra rolls are about getting a sustained sound. This is often done by keeping your hands and fingers still and using your arms to manipulate the bounce.
