Excellent commentary. I marched in the drum line from 1970-74. Eric Perriloux was an innovator. John Oddo-Mark Holub-Frank Nash were the masters of quality of sound in that snare line.

ironlips Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 HB, The Brassmen were a wonderful and influential corps in so many ways. In my view, they represented the finest work in the history of that remarkable team of Perriloux and Dreitzer. I'm glad you liked the program. Best, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geneva Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Great stuff, Frank! Thanks for putting together a program with so much truth. I will be sure to offer it up to my little drummer, Adrian. Oh, Scott tells me the CD is on the way. All the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarnia sam Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 It was a great listen Frank. You could have done a couple hours on drum lines and arrangers that made the brass look good. For those looking and listening in, Frank asks a question after the Reilly clip about who drums like that anymore. As I mentioned to Frank CADRE does. In fact we play that solo note for note as part of our Classics composition (also includes some Sac, Canadian Commanders and Cabs stuff) www.cadre-online.ca video on the CADRE facebook page, the link is real long, just search for CADRE.
