  • Did the Western Federals have such bands? Grant and Sherman detested them. I portray a Western Federal and have never seen the pomp and ceremony portrayed here. (We didn't need 'em. lol)

  • As several companies were encamped Musicians did gather together. Camp duty was not played by a group this size and we don't do those in the large group seen here though we have recorded many examples on our four CCDs, (the newest just out last Summer) "Pomp" as you call it was likely provided by brass bands. "Pomp"- this is not. I'd be happy to be shown documented proof that company musicians did NOT gather to play.

  • @skinfiddler I'm not putting down your performance at all. This performance gave me goosebumps to be honest. I read in Bruce Catton's 'A Stillness at Appomattox' that Sheridan insisted on having bands play during battles. McClellan infused a certain 'pomp' into the Army of the Potomac. An example was when Grant was first appointed supreme commander, he saw HQ's gaudy flag and wondered aloud "if Caesar was around camp somewhere."

  • @OldVoice I didn't think you were. I was responding to the subject of whether or not Western Feds had such bands and they didn't really as such but would muster together from the different companies to form larger ensembles when encamped.

    Thanks

  • Cooperman snares?

  • Yep. For the most part. I use a non- Cooperman in bad weather as do a couple others.

  • ALL Hail, these guys Rock!

  • old voice grant once said i dont like military bands or music because thee is only two tunes i know one is yankee doodle the other isnt

  • The Coopermans are really nice, but really pricey. IMHO, tuning, heads, snares are more important than the shells as is evidenced by the care these guys have obviously given to tuning their drums to sound exactly the same.

  • jolly good show !

  • I love Cooperman snares! I use a Florance in reenactments and a Cooperman in a F&D preformance.....I like them both
