yea my schools snare line, some of them are pretty cocky, they practice and play a bunch of corp stuff, they practice that more than the show the schools playing, and i found out whos the "tick" of our line
@tjw889 i wish i could like your comment a million times.
I saw them live and the lady in front of me and my buddies started giving us a speech about how they work very hard and that we shouldn't boo them. haha
@thedrummaboy68 ey man i'm just messin, don't take it up the but. i was in pit for a year before i went on snare. most of my friends come out of pit relations. i was just kidding.
The snare line in my band sucks. They don't even put any visuals in cuz they're like "We need to get our music down first" and then never do. They didn't even have their music totally memorized until after our 3rd show. I'm on tenor with 2 other guys and our instructor said that we had never had a tenor section as tight as us. We weren't cocky or anything, just always pumped to make our show awesome by adding sweet visuals and mods to the music. Every band is different.
Dear pit people complaining about not being loved, I played lead marimba my freshman year for a season and now I'm drumline captain playing snare, you guys have no idea. Marching and playing is a wholeeee different level of preformance. Now if you had to carry your keyboards that are on wheels, that would be a different situation. Drumline=haas. Straight up
Started on Saxophone, moved to tenor saxophone, marched bass 1 in indoor 6th grade, did pit (accessories) for marching band and indoor in 7th grade, saxophone in 8th grade marching band, marching bass 2 in 8th grade indoor, sax section leader in 9th grade marching band, bass section leader in 9th grade indoor, center marimba for 10th grade marching band, my new school had no indoor program so nothing in 10th grade, and now im marching snare for my new school. I LOVE BAND
Well our snare line consists of a former trumpet player (who are equally cocky), a non cocky player, a former tenor who is just super chill, and a former bass drummer who is just down to earth. So ours isn't cocky at all except the former trumpet player but nobody likes them anyways...
@xForkinxRediculousx LOL that's just your situation though, I'm one of three girls in the line and I'm pretty damn egotistical...and I'm a bass drummer!
@MrCymbalGuru hahaha!! Cymbal lines don't count as anything. That's a cocky snare drummer comment for you. ;) But seriously, I don't think they could count as battery because they are an optional line to march. Battery percussion is usually considered snare bass and toms. Auxiliary percussion is the front ensemble. I guess the cymbals could be considered that, or just in a class their own depending on if you're on cymbal line or not. ;) j/k
@MrCymbalGuru In drum corps, the cymbal line is usually not considered a part of the batterie. On the field, most cymbal lines have a lot of drill sets that are with the horn line, and some even slide march instead of crab step. When I marched cymbals in drum corps, we were considered our own section.
@mert16 as someone who's in the pit as the timpinist I just wanna say-- you try it!!! it takes ALOT of work-- we may not march but we damn well pull our weight on the line!!! It's not as easy as you think to pull an instrument several times yourself onto feild. Before I became timpinist I marched 1st base and I know physically it's harder but mentally not even close-- just think of that....
q le pasa a esta gente? jajajaja pq practican sin camisas, mira q yo vivo en una isla tropical y la calor esta del cara, y no practicamos sin camisa...jajajajaja se quieren dar el guille o q... 0.o jaja

ES LO MEJOR DE LO MEJOR EN EL MUNDO!!! DCI
the pit works just as hard as anyone in the band does. ive played pit for 2 years....high school (sadly) but still they work just as hard. they r def under way more stress then the band is. everything has to be set up rite and connected properly. the cymbal line in my opinion has the most physucaly demanding job of the band. and something tht i was kinda hopin for was the pit crew but theyre not performaning members but still
@turtlescanplaydrums2 i have to totally have to agrre with u i also playd pit for 2 year but now moved to snare and i can tell you that the pit has the hardest job ! yea we dont move but that means move choreography and have twiceand triple notes as mutch as other people and we have to play ALLLLL the notes cant to be able not to play and no one notice it! plus lugg the equipment its just aggonizing and loading and unloading!!! SO ALL I CAN SAY PIT: HARDEST THING IN THIS WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!
@Nopark1012 what i love so much about the pit is when u learn sumthing new like 4 mallets thn its sumthing tht mst of the drumline cant do and its just freakin awsome when ppl see tht and there in awe. yegh we sit in the ac but we also practice in the heat. and my favorite part about pit. is theres all ways more then one instrument to play and you get to rock out to your music
@Nopark1012 Not exactly. Ps... all of your stuff has wheels.. it's not that bad. Musically, demanding. physically other than getting your chops moving, not so much.
@Nopark1012 I played front ensem for two seasons smart ass. I know exactly what it takes and what comes with being in it. Just sayin. Im not disagreeing with you saying that it takes someone special. I just think its much more demanding out there when you have to have even clean sound with drill!!
@Talkingforfree yup the drum major follows the center snare who also follows back to the major. then the drumline listens in to the the center snare, with the corps/band listening in to the drumline. with marching in a big field you cant have every corps member looking at the drum major because of the delay of sound, one guy in the back will think one thing is "1" and and the pit way up front will get a different interpetation.
oh yeah...I guess that would help compensate for phasing problems, especially in those big "bowl" stadiums. Been many years since I marched...they used to scream at us to watch the DM.
And side note, the tenor players are usually the trouble makers and the underachievers of the line in a way, and they work harder than the snare in other.
Personally, I think the musical part of being in pit is much more demanding. But the physical part of marching is more demanding than being in pit. The music for marching just doesn't compete to what the pit does. And what you have to do to play your music in the pit, with everybody else, is far more difficult than when you are marching. I haven't played snare, bass, or tenors. So I can't say anything. But I do know that the pit does work just as hard as everybody else. So I don't wanna hear it.
Keep in mind I am only in high school, but I personally don't care if you don't think my opinion matters because to me what we do is hard, it would be easy if I did drum corp stuff because that stuff would be even harder. So don't hate cause I'm in high school. I march baritone for outdoor and play mallets for indoor. I get super pissed when people talk crap about the pit because they do work just as hard just in different ways. Do they have more free time? But they don't set down drill.
i play tenors and i gata say its just like the snares but harder to me becus we mostly play the same thing on difrent drums ..... and i gata say snares are not the only def one's cymbal lines are usualy def to becus thay are infront of the snare's
@HostBeat In my defense (i currently play snare) the snareline's tend to have more rudiments like Flams etc, and all of that more often than the Tenors,they also have sticks tricks and back sticking,where as the tenors play on multiple drums and have cross overs and what not
@Leotheninja i know what you are saying somthing that makes it hard thou is i dont know about when regular ppl right music but the guy who curently is writing ours is in college and i being in highschool play the same things he plays in collage.... and the parts he writes becus of him playing snare most of the years he has played is an agzact coppy of the snare part for me just on diferent drums... down the to the flams, pataflafla's,paraddidles, paraparadiddles, drags, flams, ext..
@bertdorf4 so by your logic, more drums = the more cocky you are? in that case, snares would be the LEAST cocky, they have one drum. bass's are 4-6 drums (since bass drums have to work as a unit, not solo artists) so really bass and tenors should be cocky. tho in all honestly, i dont think any section has "more work" to do then another. they all have difficulties. snares have to be clean, tenors have to hit the right drum, bass' have to work as one unit to sound good. no section has more work
@hievdrumlinein09 Im in the pit...i play bass/ guitar but i play alittle tenors on the side..and its true...pit does get alot of crap for not doing anything...lol
Basses are beastly and def. hardest they are all hard but basses are the ones who have to really listen b/c 5 ppl have to be as one in the other sections you have one or more ppl playing the same part as you with bass its different.
It's usually ignorant people who bash other sections, like the pit. The pit is freaking beast, especially if you're on the rack.. moving around, playing percussion instruments all around you. The most fun part in corps/band in my opinion.
for the pit u dnt march but u gotta learn how to play with two mallets on each hand have all ur scales memorized after all thats done the pit can also get even more fun when u start doing visuals wich are awesome Pit and Tenors have to b the best two
they all work hard. its hard to make generalizations, but these are mostly correct. and i hate seeing all this conversation about the weight of the instrument. i play tenors and i think that you get used to the weight no matter which one you play, its all the same because you are used to your own instrument's weight.
lol, this is true about snare. the part of being cocky. haha, though, i hate how the pit is bashed on for "not doing as much" or "not working as hard", because the parts in pit are usually pretty complicated if you ask me...
@beatofthedrums Yeah seriously.. pit is usually given the flack in DCI/Band, I mean wtf really.. it's as important as the battery and brass.. keyboards ftw.
when i see the pit sit around during a rehearsal block or leave rehearsal early to go to a gas station while I am out there in the blistering heat....i tend to lean toward the side of "The pit is lazy and doesn't work nearly as hard as the rest of the corps."
@coppingenh Just because the pit doesn't march does not mean they are lazier than the brass and battery. They're music is just as difficult as the other two sections.
I did not say their music was any less difficult. In fact their music is by the far the hardest thing coming from the corps. BUT they do tend to be lazier. This is a quote from multiple drum corps pits.
ok if thats what you want to call it then thats fine, I was just wondering if you marched since most people I've marched with in my drum corps with don't share your views on the front ensemble, I see you marched with Bluecoats so you have my respect but then again I disagree with your views
i would totally play tenors if i could not pass out after several minutes. but instead i play snare and thus i only get one drum and also i am cocky HAHA
...i hate how people bash the pit. they do hard work too.
Cymbal lines are also beastly (i know there wasnt one here but u know im rite)
And Basses r the bomb even tho ppl who dont know wat their talkin about like to say they suck. Tenors amaze me...but i could never handle them. and snare...drummers are def, usually cocky. lol
...lol, ur rite...well, i probably should have put "confident" over "cocky" but everybody knows snare is cool anyway so i didnt think i had to say it.
@TheHCHSmarchingband lol i was in pittt and now im in batteryy. the musical attention in pit is sooooo demandingg!!!! hahaha every part of percussion is equally in its own was demanding as eachother.
@Leotheninja what I said is from the experiences I've had and it has nothing to do with "what people want to hear." excuse me if people agreed with me about my opinions. I've played bass so i think it's the bomb, Tenors DO amaze me, but i cant play them, I've tried. And I said snare drummers are USUALLY cocky. but i know they all arent because I'm not cocky myself. Ive seen people treat the pit like crap and i dont like it, so I dont know why you came at me like that but you need to chill out.
@BillXHETASXCook Yea, i actually tried them once (bruised my arm lol) we actually had a guy quit because we asked him to play cymbals and he said "thats a sissy instrument" idiot. he's the one missing out.
@15Sparky15 lmao, that kind of stuff amuses me--I firmly believe that any marching band or drum corp could go play a football game and do better than some football players do, but they can't handle our stuff. lol
@TheMer94 I don't know what pits you've been watching but I guess they were shitty. Then again, you seem like on of those people who have tried out for multiple lines and were declined so you sit around being bitter about how YOU can't do shit. But yes, the pit does do stuff so stfu. kthanks.
@TheMer94 i agree with you.. but it depends on the people of the pit. our pit people are all fat. so they dont do much anyways. but it may be different for other bands.
@TheHCHSmarchingband ya of my friends march corps and they do front, they do a shit ton of work, since they dont wory about marching theyre able to 100% focus on music so in ways its even more hardcore playing
@j054uaj054ua What kind of pit do you guys have? I played on pit after a couple of years in battery (we decided to have an all pit drumline this past year) and we were outside when everyone else was inside and I have to say playing mallet runs are equally challenging if not harder to play together than some rolls.
@OGCorrectsALot....All during camp with Teal Sound the pit was inside, I didn't stay with them though to see where they ended up after auditions. But, mostly they sat in the AC. In high school though our pit was outside, every rehearsal the line was. With the exception of rain....

@hievdrumlinein09 Yeah, us quads can be even cockier, we have 4-6 drums, we have more work!
bertdorf4 1 year ago
@bertdorf4 so by your logic, more drums = the more cocky you are? in that case, snares would be the LEAST cocky, they have one drum. bass's are 4-6 drums (since bass drums have to work as a unit, not solo artists) so really bass and tenors should be cocky. tho in all honestly, i dont think any section has "more work" to do then another. they all have difficulties. snares have to be clean, tenors have to hit the right drum, bass' have to work as one unit to sound good. no section has more work

Basses are beastly and def. hardest they are all hard but basses are the ones who have to really listen b/c 5 ppl have to be as one in the other sections you have one or more ppl playing the same part as you with bass its different.
AGdrumer9904 1 year ago
It's usually ignorant people who bash other sections, like the pit. The pit is freaking beast, especially if you're on the rack.. moving around, playing percussion instruments all around you. The most fun part in corps/band in my opinion.

they all work hard. its hard to make generalizations, but these are mostly correct. and i hate seeing all this conversation about the weight of the instrument. i play tenors and i think that you get used to the weight no matter which one you play, its all the same because you are used to your own instrument's weight.

@beatofthedrums Yeah seriously.. pit is usually given the flack in DCI/Band, I mean wtf really.. it's as important as the battery and brass.. keyboards ftw.
chsdrums012 1 year ago
when i see the pit sit around during a rehearsal block or leave rehearsal early to go to a gas station while I am out there in the blistering heat....i tend to lean toward the side of "The pit is lazy and doesn't work nearly as hard as the rest of the corps."
coppingenh 1 year ago
@coppingenh Just because the pit doesn't march does not mean they are lazier than the brass and battery. They're music is just as difficult as the other two sections.
chsdrums012 1 year ago
I did not say their music was any less difficult. In fact their music is by the far the hardest thing coming from the corps. BUT they do tend to be lazier. This is a quote from multiple drum corps pits.

ok if thats what you want to call it then thats fine, I was just wondering if you marched since most people I've marched with in my drum corps with don't share your views on the front ensemble, I see you marched with Bluecoats so you have my respect but then again I disagree with your views

Cymbal lines are also beastly (i know there wasnt one here but u know im rite)
And Basses r the bomb even tho ppl who dont know wat their talkin about like to say they suck. Tenors amaze me...but i could never handle them. and snare...drummers are def, usually cocky. lol

@Leotheninja what I said is from the experiences I've had and it has nothing to do with "what people want to hear." excuse me if people agreed with me about my opinions. I've played bass so i think it's the bomb, Tenors DO amaze me, but i cant play them, I've tried. And I said snare drummers are USUALLY cocky. but i know they all arent because I'm not cocky myself. Ive seen people treat the pit like crap and i dont like it, so I dont know why you came at me like that but you need to chill out.

@j054uaj054ua What kind of pit do you guys have? I played on pit after a couple of years in battery (we decided to have an all pit drumline this past year) and we were outside when everyone else was inside and I have to say playing mallet runs are equally challenging if not harder to play together than some rolls.
OGCorrectsALot 1 year ago
@OGCorrectsALot....All during camp with Teal Sound the pit was inside, I didn't stay with them though to see where they ended up after auditions. But, mostly they sat in the AC. In high school though our pit was outside, every rehearsal the line was. With the exception of rain....
