excuseme for asking but how would you know?

[SeanChaney]

Because I was there and filmed it. Jon marched at LE in 1989 (won Div II) then also in 1990 when Corps went to DivI in 1991 he marched at Cadets in 1992 he was I believe 19 he came back to LE to teach I marched in 92 the first show we saw the cadets they came over and asked him to march with them again. He was amazing within a few days he was back in the line and had the show down.

@bwh89

since i was a horrible drummer how come i was able to play it?

1.well every dog has its day

2. the quality was probably terrible

3. i am actually a GREAT theoretical drummer... i cant play but i can TEACH and make people awesome..

later on i found out i have a neurological condition that robbed me of unleashing my mind ...buts that not important....every thing has judging criteria...you can be fast ...but are you accurate...how is your resonance on the drum? ETC..

@bwh89

quality retained through the freaky combos......i marched 1992 VK...i played 3rd Bass...

one day Float gave us a SICK flam draggin diddle grace note flam 5 Cha Chattas passage...that NO ONE could play ....NO snare drummer ....no quad player...no other Bass drummer ..........ACCEPT ME...we went down the lines....

NO ONE before me could play it.....and no one after me could play it.......ACCEPT ME....then everyone stopped and stared at me after i did it. I WAS A HORRIBLE DRUMMER in 1992

@bwh89

what year? and please prove that ...because jeff queen is pretty good...but understand this....i marched with jeff sort of....1991 and 1992 VK..i was taught by dave dillulo, glen crosby, tom float...

every drummer is different..many snare drummers have their style...you can flub fast flam passages and play freaky fast singlets....and beat jeff....but over all sound quality, meat quality...tempo control and quality of flam sounds is key.........then how high of a percentage of the ....
