1992 Phantom Regiment Drumline Finals night part1

[tshall3]

Lee is on the left end of the snare line as you look at it.

[tred010]

can someone tell me wher Lee Smith is on this snare line if you played on the line with them

[1990RookOut]

Marty had his moment in the sun, but he hung on too long. He's not the first guy to do that in the history of the activity. . .

[drummerpilot311]

Ahhh... Mr. Hurley in his glory days... with hair... and big glasses.

[punkfan91]

there playing montego bay thats cool :)

[tendura]

Love me some montego.

[imdkman]

Marty Hurley never ever caught up with the trends and modernization of DCI percussion. It so lame.

[OndrausCissell]

He taught many great percussionists though. We will all go to bat for him, and all of them can play. TRUST ME!

[JessOnTheRun]

going to bat for whomever you wish. Hurley is no Float, Hannum, Hardimon, Campbell, etc. all of those that went thru the T Float school of drumming are the ones that are running this activity.

[OndrausCissell]

I did not say he was. Trust me all of them know and have respect for Marty. Plus there isn't one Percussion Designer out there that runs DCI, if that is what you are talking about. I know that for a fact.

[OndrausCissell]

Tom Float people that he taught or just the Tom Float school of drumming...

[OndrausCissell]

There are many doctors of percussion taught by Marty. Didn't you mean "it's".

[JessOnTheRun]

lol...typo, kid.

[OndrausCissell]

I am not a kid.

[JessOnTheRun]

btw, did you mean "did"..."did not you mean" doesnt make sense. LOL

[OndrausCissell]

One tic... NL

[JessOnTheRun]

Okay, you have a good sense of humor and arent taking this so seriously...that makes me like your style...cool as a cucumber. Then again, no reason to argue over an activity we have both been a part of ...its not too hard to find common ground, i assume.

[OndrausCissell]

The problem I have is someone that makes a derogatory remark about someone else. What business is it for someone to call someone else "lame", (imdkmans comment), when they cannot defend themselves. Or to compare someone to others when there really isn't a reason too. The others you mentioned are great , but there is greatness in what Marty has done too. I don't understand why someone cannot find some "good" in music even when it isn't there taste. Unless it is rap, but that is another story.

[JessOnTheRun]

I actually like rap...its clever, unique

[OndrausCissell]

I like some rap. Most of the music behind the rap is a sampled mess or is arranged horribly. Many rappers are okay it is just the people trying to make music behind it are a train wreck.

[JessOnTheRun]

still, that is a bold statement...as the sampling and clever arranging has been not only creative, but tributes its early origins..paying homage to early blues, rock, motown, country, even many facets of jazz. For example...Kid Rock's "All Summer Long" and his sampling of "Sweet Home Alabama"...ingenius. Fun Stuff. Personally, 60% of what Im listening to at the house, is classical...I just enjoy the peacefulness and richness of strings and orchestral ensembles.

[OndrausCissell]

I have not heard the Kid Rock tune, so I cannot speak to that. However, most if not all sampling for rap is arranged into a "two bar phrase" format which makes it incredibly dull to listen to. Even when a producer is using original material at times. I am really talking across the board, but mostly with "inner city rap". I have just heard to much that is bad. Conversely, Eric B and Rakim was mostly two bar phrases as well but it was funky. Just to few and far between.

[OndrausCissell]

It was cold that week!

[OndrausCissell]

That was a fun summer. There were a lot of good guys in that line. Some who are still great friends of mine.

[stevendbc]

Do you remeber a guy named Dean Ponseti

[OndrausCissell]

Yes I do. Dean and I were good friends. He was a good guy.

[fstdrumboy]

alright bayou lafource for the accent warm up

[donpableaux]

These are the first videos of our line I've seen since we marched; thanks a lot for posting them. -- Paul T (far right snare)

[Matticusfoo]

My instructor is part of that snare line...Lee Smith is the man

[MorbidDeadGuy]

he also is a baseball player of great fame.
