I feel a bit ashamed saying this, but the boom and echo of the parking garage acoustics, sounds badass. There's so much stank behind those shots and unison bass hits.
Another option that our bass tech recommended was playing on a regular practice pad with regular sticks, but turn your wrists over and make that same rotary motion you would on a bass drum. He did that and he ended up marching top bass at crown in 07 and 06 i believe.
say for instance i wanted to get really good at bass drum in order to march it for a drum corps am i fine just practicing matched on a pad or should i actually find a way to practice vertically
It's one of those things you have to get used to, and once you do, you feel badass cause you're a guy who's 6 foot something drumming as low as someone 5'1. I used to hate it but I got used to it and it makes pings and lefty pings easier for me haha
@nike22296 Not really a matter of whats cooler. Its tradition. and your "level" doesn't exist in DCI because you'll more than likely never march a corps in your life.

the disappointed "comon." after the first rep? i felt that
I have one of those red snares now. They're pretty dope. Got it used from Yamaha.
that looks so uncomfortable for the really tall snare
jeez dude....they always have the best licks.....always have tasty clean rolls...love it!!
1) Tom Aungst didn't write this book, Collin McNutt did.
2) "Tom Aungst" is two words.
i was at this show, first DCI show ever

modulation at 2:04 is soooo sick.
I didn't hear any modulation.
damn i didnt know Billy Ray Cyrus was the instructor for the Cadets!!!
this is really good book!
Beast mode!
Aungst hasn't written for the Cadets in several years, he gives all his time to Dartmouth HS now
he's back!

yes.
Lightning in background when the Demons are up in the beginning...yes
I was thinking more of a skinny Billy Ray Cyrus
Snare tech sort of looks like Casey Brohard
It is James Sparling
that dude in the gray looks like Brohard from behind
HOLY SHIT RIGHT FOOT STEP OFF!!!!!!
Reminds me of Madison Scouts 2005 lol still awesome :)
@2012Snaredrummer pretty sure its not cuz he's the caption head for the vanguard cadets right now
@2012Snaredrummer it's not it's james sparling, also rx quad tech and just became madisons quad tech
I feel like that really tall snare is really uncomfortable when he plays.
OMG!
Woah I don't remember 6 bass drums
@nike22296 Welcome to the cadets.
Damn...
@TheVinnster1 Leg injury or something like that.
@TheVinnster1 The snare tech killed him for his cowbell

eh, i've found left hand shots are easier up high for me
I don't get what youre trying to explain..
I would absolutely hate marching a drum as low as the tall guy.
needs more cow bell
the demons litterally got red shoes. our band should get those if we have black tops and red botoms. lol
They are actually spray painted red
Was not a fan of the two uniform look. Something dis-unifying about the concept,
but they didn't ask me I guess. Thanks for sharing this. Carry on.

Three words: Tom Aungst.
