Suncoast Sound Spider Cadence

Thu, 26 Feb 2009 20:52:01 +0000

Hey guys, I've had an ongoing love affair with the old Suncoast Sound streetbeat "Spider". Does anyone know who wrote it? Also, I would love a copy since my memory is fading. I would love to teach it to my indoor guys as a "blast from the past" kind of thing.

Any info is much appreciated!!

BTW what you all think of a nice little book of classic cadences and exercises? SCV and some other corps have great success is selling modern stuff, might be fun to put together a collection of some classics.

p.s. A copy of the old Suncoast accent/tap exercise would be awesome also.

2025 OIPA Springfield Holland Saturday Photos - Medi-Nerd 2

Sun, 02 Mar 2025 04:53:30 +0000

What blows me away about today’s event isn’t that I took 1143 photos.

No, what blows me away is that, with a couple simple changes to my camera settings, my photos are SO. MUCH. BETTER.

DCI high percussion through the years?

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 02:12:31 +0000

I have looked around on the net and I can't seem to find a complete list of who won drums each of the years of DCI. Does anyone know of a place online that has the list or could we construct the list here?

Thanks in advance!

BDPA: RCC Indoor Percussion 2025

BD PERFORMING ARTS PRESENT RCC INDOOR PERCUSSION'S 2025 SHOW:

"ONLY THE BROKEN CAN SEE"

"Only the Broken Can See" - The intersection between dreams and reality, truth and beauty. A longing to transcend.

A story of a seeker on a journey to understand the nature of self.

Along the way, they encounter the sacred in all things, challenge their own perceptions, and strip away the constructs and stories that once defined their beliefs.

Ultimately, they arrive and reconnect with everything—body, mind, and universe, and that the truth lies not in stories but in the simple, sacred reality of existence

Old BD exercises

Wed, 09 Oct 2024 15:53:35 +0000

looking for a score of "HEMIOLA" as well as some triplet accent exercises BD would do in the mid-late 90's. Anyone got any???

Anyone have a good book that just makes them want to go drum?

I've got one: Children of the Neon Bamboo. It's not about drumming per say, but it's about music, and has an awesome concert scene where the drummer really takes over and it's accurately and artistically described. If you need some motivation or just a good read, you should check it out.

Premier Royal Scot #41

Mon, 17 Jun 2024 01:07:06 +0000

Premier Royal Scot #41 – This might be common knowledge but I was not able to find it anywhere. I recently acquired a Premier Royal Scot #41 marching snare drum with the Flobeam 2000 parallel-action bottom snare and parallel-action top snare. The upper snare although missing two wires was still good. The bottom snare either due to the mechanism getting loose over time and/ or the snare wires stretching, I was not able to tighten the double 12 wire sets. I found many threads about other snare wires that would fit but all seemed to be discontinued since the threads were written. I have a 16” snare drum with a 15-1/16” long snare that I was able to rivet two pieces of tin to extend out to 15-3/4” to see if the snare mechanism still worked. It did. So I ordered a Pearl S-025 bridge snare wire set which measures 15-3/4” and was able to alter the holes in the ends to fit the Premier Flobeam 2000 setscrews. I did have to shim the Flobeam bar on non-throw side.
