MGCpimpOtimp Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) Actually, by 1975 or 76, nearly every snare line was flat. Its kind of ironic that flat occurred while slings were still the norm, & before the snare carrier became popular in 79 & 80. I can't remember a snare line that was tilt between 75 & , well, through the 80's. I guess the Bridgemen still had a slight tilt until they finally gave in & went to carriers a couple of years before there demise. To me the tilt is a distraction that completely destroys the look & symmetry of a snare line. But thats just me... I had no idea that people played flat with a harness. Check out this SWEET video.

CHSnare Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Any word on how the line is this year?! Looking forward to that classic SCV sound :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeutralNovice Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Any word on how the line is this year?! Looking forward to that classic SCV sound :) Im no expert, but it is AWESOME! Their first movement is just amazing but their drum feature is likely to be in the 2nd movement which I haven't heard yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drum feature from SCV this year is going to be amazing, I can't wait to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSnareline Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) SCV has a history of being in the top ranks of all DCI drumlines and I'm sure this year will be no different. I have to say that I'd prefer not to see the tilt. Just my personal preference. I marched in the time when everyone made the switch from straps to carriers and I can honestly say carriers are so much better! I believe SCV was among the first if not THE first to use snare carriers. 1979 I think - Slingerland 12x15" TDRs - in red AND a 12 man snare line!!!! - played with matched grip! They did narrowly win the drumline title that year - maybe a tick over North Star. I personally think North Star had a slightly easier book but they were incredible! The Chrome Wall!...

Perry S Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I found this site for Big Snare's thread but I thought it would be good here. Shows a timeline and here it shows that SCV was the first to use carriers in 1973 http://www.edrumline.com/articles/drumlines-greatest-moments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
