Song title is "Old 1812" and us marching to it

The Excelsior Brigade Fife and Drum Corps marches through the union camp at the 2006 Hamlin Beach State Park Civil War reenactment. Old 1812 is a standard tune played by many ancient fife and drum corps and reenactors alike. This video, in it's original format, is a good example of the style of marching used by most ancient corps, and is an easier style with longer step than modern drum corps use.

I wouldn't mind playing and marching snare drums. However I play matched grip is that an issue, is traditional grip required?

[excelsiorbrigade]

@alexcowart Yes, traditional grip is required, you can learn to play that way pretty quickly if you're already somewhat experienced as a drummer. It's not too tough a transition and I know several people who have switched.

@EpicTrollBeastMan

Calling me names and insulting me wont get you ANYWHERE!

I dont know the name of the regiment,all I know it was a irish brigade,I dont know on the top of my head....

I would get my family history and find the regiment if you think I dont know what im talking about.Its people like you that when I post a simple comment,you lash out like your some big know it all! Just stop posting these comments,and I will stop too...

[EpicTrollBeastMan]

@AragonKingofmacedon 27th Irish Brigade? There was no such thing... Stop trying to know what you're talking about. I'm from Pennsylvania there isn't a southern bone in my body, my people fought in the 143rd PA in the "Bucktail Brigade". Having said that I can say as a Yank that you give us a bad name, maybe when you grow out of diapers you'll "get it".

[AragonKingofmacedon]

@EpicTrollBeastMan

I really dont care what you say,Almost all the bad comments are from "southerners"

My great grandfather fought in the 27th irish brigade,the SAME ONE that charged up to the stone wall at fredricksburg,Maybe your the one who comes from bad stock! so maybe you should think before you post hateful comments.

[EpicTrollBeastMan]

@AragonKingofmacedon "We"? I'm pretty sure you had nothing to do with this ass kicking that never really happened btw. And judging by your comments I'm pretty sure you come from bad stock so your ancestors probably didn't fight either. Most likely they were chicken shit politicians that were hated both North and South and started the war in the first place.
