  1. I am sorry to hear that! Best of luck in your search.
  2. The Pearl 1030 drum set snare stand adjusts all the way up about 27" which is three inches higher than the base height of most concert snare stands. Almost any music store that carries Pearl should have one, but they are pricey at around $130. Here's a video of BD using them for reference: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6arExeP7fP4
  3. That is not true. There are dozens of videos of Paul Rennick lines having someone click sticks in front of them all the way up to finals, including years when they won the Sanford. Ellis Hampton does this as well.
  4. Yes they were mic'd up. You can clearly see them in this video - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bzQu3Qww0Rk
  5. Mike Jackson is a huge gain for BK. Props to Brian Stevens and Glen Crosby for turning that program around, they did some great work out there but I am excited to see what Mike can do.
  6. I know it isn't ideal, but the Pearl CXSA1 will work with the old Randall May carriers. Here's a link to one: http://www.steveweissmusic.com/product/pearl-cx-snare-carrier-attachment/marching-snare-drum-accessories
  7. I know he arranged the front ensemble during Mike Jackon's tenure there in 2006 and 2007. I believe he also did the entire book in 2008 and 2009.
  8. Absolutely! See if you can get the old team back together from early 2000s Vanguard. Jim would be the best choice I can think of. My second thought is that Brian Mason isn't doing much writing nowadays either. His 2001 line was pretty good and, if memory serves, was pretty close in score to a really good SCV line and an even better BD line.
  9. -Work on your timing with a met. The front ensemble is not exempt from perfect time and there always seems to be one person who hasn't learned that who shows up to audition. -Make sure you are not just practicing scales, but also ways to move through them - chromatic, circle of fifths, circle of fourths. Also, learn your modes. -If there is a packet, know it backwards and forwards. Have your technique set as close to the description as possible, but still be prepared to make changes on the fly. -Finally, this is important, if you don't get offered the instrument you want to march, march anyway. You'll learn more playing glockenspiel or synth than you will playing video games all summer, and you'll be much closer to that marimba or vibe spot next year. Good luck!!
  10. Those are the drums that BK's indoor line used this past season. I think they have yet to receive their new gear.
  11. Yes and no. Shane was a Dynasty artist when he took the caption head role at Phantom, but has long used Pearl Drums with MCM. When Phantom made the switch this year he did as well.
  12. Price lowered. I need to move these. Feel free to make an offer! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330877007466
  13. Selling old stock. 4 heads available. Link to sale is below: http://www.ebay.com/itm/330877007466?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
  14. Actually, Oregon Crusaders are on Dynasty still and they are World Class this year.
