They do walk on water...

something to think about: Why doesnt the pit cover the cymbal parts/bass parts/snare parts/whatever? each instrument has a skill set. while one person could easily pick up a pair of crash cymbals and play them correctly, you have to realize that they are responsible for like 40,000 other things in the pit as well. i know that when i was in pit in high school, anything i didnt have to haul around was a good thing in my book. also, when the drum judge is on the field and hes hanging with battery, its an awesome effect to have the cymbal line out there. he cant hear the pit cymbals... but he can hear the cymbal line. weve gotten some hilarious judges comments over the years... all positive.

Hey guys! Theres a lot of great talking points going on in here. Some i agree with and some i dont... but hey, its just an online forum. observation: why is it that most of the people that dislike cymbal lines arent even percussionist? its usually horn players... Theory: A) Girl cymbal player shot them down for a date. or B) Guy cymbal player stole the cute guard girl Also, all this talk about how easy cymbals are compared to other percussion instruments... omg. Guys... its a learned skill set. its just like playing a horn or tossing a flag. there is "theory" behind the technique. i think at PC we have like 50 techniques. im serious, we counted one day. do we use all of them in a given show? no... we use about 30-35ish. as far as visuals go, we dont just toss in a random vizh. we actually take the time to define the counts, pathways, etc.

gab.... the McRib is back! youre probably going to need a bucket for those tears of joy...

cymbal lines are awesome! The DCI cymbal community is a strong, tight group. We all hang out at shows and keep in touch in the off season. There is a certain level of togetherness that i only see in cymbal lines and nowhere else. its very rare when you can go up to the tech of another corps and have them know every kid in all the other lines... yet in cymbal land its a common occurrence. If you ever watch cymbal I&E you are in for a huge treat as well. over the years ive seen everything from crazy acrobatics to hip hop and pop music. i guess what im getting at here is this: hatters gonna hate...

bump!
