Open Class 2016 - Horns and Drums


Recommended Posts

There seems to be some interesting things happening in Open Class in terms of horn and drum brands that will be used this year. There's some very new players entering the field, and it seems like Open Class is the place where these new products (and some old standards) can undergo a trial by fire. So I thought it may be fun to put together a thread in the same style as the program thread, but for drums and percussion. I'll definitely need help with this, and I don't guarantee that these are 100% correct.

Heat Wave of Florida is also using Majestic for its pit. We've been very happy with the support and cooperation of the Jupiter/Mapex/ Majestic family of products.

That's good to know, although I focused on the battery, since pits tend to have more of a mix of equipment, especially for corps that aren't as financially solvent. It would be pretty difficult tracking down all the pit equipment brands I would think.

Done. That's kind of a shame, Kanstul are great horns. King isn't too shabby though.

No argument there! Even with our TAMA endorsement, they are a bit too expensive at our current stage of the game :)

Incognito is not on Yamaha horns. They have been using mix matched.

As of this month, they have collaborated with Ramona high school of Riverrside/Californnia to share Andalucia products, but not their Bb soprano but regular line Trumpets.

Fixed. It's tough trying to figure this stuff out from 7,500 miles away.

I'm really intrigued by the Bb Soprano. Wish I could play one, but getting one is out of the question given that I'm a broke PhD student, and shipping to Australia is pretty cost prohibitive. Maybe someday.
