Their snares aren't tilted and it's only for these few seconds of the show, and it's aweomse

i disagree. high school lines can do buzz rolls. so does that mean corp lines cant do them? corp is about entertaining the crowd, not ramming as many notes as possible.

Arguing with such confused logic would be a waste of time, so for the sake of both of us, I'm going to let you have the last word on this one. Yes, the Blue Devils are superior. They only play loudly when the music dictates such an occasion. You are supreme master of DCI and the internet. Congratulations.

And by the way, I'm 15, not 25. Age means nothing, supreme master.

So... japanese taiko drumming should be looked down upon? It's written as such because the show demanded it. Taiko drumming is not so much as ramming in a ton of notes as it is general effects and presence. This is just one part of the show..

If you don't understand why the big arm movements are there, then you should take a gander at some taiko drumming videos.

We are in complete agreement. My favorite bass line is SVC 1987.

[paradiddle1389]

i never said it was unique. i just said it takes alot of effort to make a bass part sound good.

[mathproof]

I marched a top three line from 1987-1989; so, there is nothing unique about your experience.

[paradiddle1389]

i have. its crazy. that bass part is sick. i play bass and i know the time and effort that goes into making that sound good.

Well, I agree with this statement. I would encourage you to view the Bluecoats 2008 drum solo: amazing.

[paradiddle1389]

i never said that. all i mean is that everything doesnt have to be crazy hard. it would suck if corps got really easy. music is not playing as man notes as possible. it sounds good, but you need to change it up.

I marched a top three competitive corps snare line. We were all there to play at a level that was unattainable in high school or college lines. Why would I have paid $1,500 to be in a corp if I could get the same experience for free.

Younger people always want the standards to be lowered so that you can participate. I suggest practicing twenty hours a week for many years so that the caption head doesn't have to include mundane odditities to distract the audience from your mediocre playing.
