these guys look kinda dumb, because of their elbows. if you want to play matched marching you need to wear your drum low, so that your elbows don't stick out... traditional looks better because if you only have one elbow out, it doesn't look bad. because of this, you can wear the drum higher, and that's good, because you want the sound of the bottom head - it has the snares.
I dont give a damn how you play as long as you sound good... i cant play with the traditional grip cuz im not too cordinated with my left hand but i still practice it. I just hold the stick like that in my right hand. but im a quad player so it dont really matter. but it wuz a really good cadence
A percussion major student is seriously retarded? Do some research or ask a music professor. Traditional grip was designed for drummers playing on a titled drum; matched for flat. Yes, you can play traditional on flat, and it does look nice, but even DCI snare drummers will occasionally get caught dropping their left shoulder on rolls. Fact. Period.
My example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0-lTSfv0AE&search=cadet%20drumline
I know the chick on the end is short, and she could trash me anyday, sure; but elbow hanging below the snare? I think she'd do better with SCV. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvlMVWB8TyM&search=wheelchair%20vanguard
Although I like the way trad looks over matched, I do recognize the advantages that matched does bring. However, I learned to march with trad and thus I play better trad. I play concert matched though.
The person you're calling retarded is probably better than you are, so you better show some respect.
Agree with both of the above: well played. I hate it when snares play traditional grip on flat drums; it totally defeats the purpose of it and makes the drummer's posture sloppy. But you played match grip, and it made me happy. Thank you for that. :)
