James Madison University (JMU) Marching Royal Dukes drumline, warming up and practicing before the JMU-Towson game on 11-17-07. My nephew is on the drumline, which is why the camera lingers on his group of snare drummers.

  • @SuperCutt In College, halftime is gametime!!! At my school, its the same

  • @2012Grizz i agree with you, but traditional grip compared to match grip is harder to learn and use, thus makes it more impressive. at least in the world of marching corps today that's the excuse. when i first saw the vid i was like "horrey shet match gripped snares on a university line!?" but honestly there's nothing wrong with it, it's just not traditional, no pun intended. personally my belief is that if a snare line can play their same music using both grips, its more awesome than just one.

  • What's amazing about JMU's band is they've always been good.. My mom went there back in '81 and she said she would only attend the football games to hear the band play, then leave after the half time show. That's a most impressive legacy. This is no phase. Get some, Dukes!

  • @jgross547 thats my only issue i dunno if they are still matched tho

  • Eww, match gripped snares.......

  • i just wanna know what kinda sticks the snares are using. . . . looks like jazz drumset sticks, but it could just be the camera being so far away.

  • Why does everyone care so much about the snare line using (or in this case not using) traditional grip... its nothing more than a way of holding the drumsticks

  • agreed!!!! traditional FTMFW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is awesome

  • It was band parents and band alumni day.

    that guy was an alumni warming up. They do band parents day and MRD alumni band the same weekend. The last game of the season
