    Hey y`all, here's a drumworkout.com blog on the subject of ensemble techniques for all of you marching band & drumcorps folks. It's a fantastically mis-understood can of worms and hopefully my little video here will help to lift the cloak of mystery off of it.

    Up to 10 dislikes now. Almost guaranteed 9 of them are band directors that were clarinet players when they were music majors. The other one is Ken Mazur.

      +Kurwin Forest It's more effective to have someone carry it behind the battery. That way the students get the idea of "oh, the battery's behind me right here and I should listen back." If it's always back on the 50, students will get into the habit of listening back in that direction, but if there's no battery there (as drill moves around) it'll turn messy.

    Excellent demonstration and explanation! I was in marching band way back in jr. high school. I never even considered that the time delay might be an issue. But until this video, that is. Thanks for the enlightenment!

    Match grip across the line means you teach 1 technique, 1 type of rotation across the entire battery. Its much easier to teach concepts this way as opposed to relying on traditional.
    Also possibly the best video to show to directors regarding the travel of sound. I show this to everyone.

      I doesn’t matter what style you use as long as it is clean. The judges couldn’t give a shit about match or tradish. Match in the high school scenario is great for transitions of marching instruments as well as going back into the concert band season after marching band.

    • @matthewcoleman1595

      Bit of a late reply, but the reason they used matched grip is because snare drums lay flat, now. Snare drums used to REQUIRE traditional grip, because (traditionally), snares were on a sling which caused the snares to rest sideways. So it'd be impossible to play without traditional grip. Thanks to harnesses, now it lays flat. So you don't HAVE to play traditional.
