I fell in love with drumcorps in 1976 so naturally I am biased towards the older shows. I really have no interest in all of the dancing and prancing these days. But a killer rifle toss or a nice, super clean snare riff will still get me fired up. And a huge wall of sound will get the hairs on my neck standing up. That is what keeps me interested. I just tune out what I don't like and tune in to what I do.

Crown for sure.

I marched Ludwig 3S's in the late 70's. I still have them I think. I think that Rob Carson tipless stick was a Promark DC9? My memory is getting hazy now. I loved the beauty of the Promark sticks but they used to break easier than the Ludwigs. I haven't played in so many years. I have no idea about todays sticks.
