rudi man Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Paul and Sandi Rennick have found the winning formula at Phantom Regiment in my opinion. Every book since 2003 that they have written has been my favorite of the year. 2007 phantom regiment is the best percussion arranging this activity has every seen, IMO. I also really like Lee Beddis at times. His writing has always seemed kind of quirky, and I like it. 2009 though, was a little over the top with notes. Blue Devils have had a terrible book since like 2001. It is unmusical and too mathematical at times. Still have no idea how they won drums in 2007 or 2009. They play some absolutely FILTHY things in both of those shows. One of the most overated percussion section in DCI. I would tend to agree about 2009 BD that one is a mystery I guess the whole show just turned me off big time but 2007 was in my opinion one of the best Blue Devil lines ever , that battery was just over the top , the snares imparticular their pit also was just stellar so I disagree with you on the 2007 show and agree with you on 2009 . There is absolutly noway that the Blue Devils deserved a score of 99.15 of course this my opinion only and I'm sure that I'm going to make some bd fans mad but thats ok I'm also a BD fan . As far as Lee Beddis goes I love what he's done with Crown Lee is just plain off the hook !! Paul & Sandi Rennick and Phantom I totally agree with you .

Perry S Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 They were much improved in 2009 but not yet in the elite realm. Hopefully they will get there some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_King Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 SCV had an awesome book, imo. Look at more than just the snare parts. Also consider looking outside of the top 6. I really enjoyed Glassmen's book (even after they took out that speed-o-roll), Boston's book, and Troopers' book. outside the top 6 whats that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNTdrummer11 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 So... would you prefer dynasty? no, i prefer pearl, they just have to be tuned right (insert any 2006 or 2007 phantom drumline video here) the tuning is just wonderful dynasty's can almost be tuned the same way (check out the 08 boom boom vids) its great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNTdrummer11 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 So they sound awesome? Yea! not necessarily hahah last time i liked yamaha tuning was on the 04 cavies drums (granted that the snares had double heads) sounded really good.

I really enjoyed Cavaliers tuning the last few years, especially 08. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcsnare93 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I have been listening to videos of mostly the top 6 corps drumline's from 09 and in my opinion I think it was one of the worst years for drum books. The Blue Devils kind of had a boring book, and so did Cavaliers. In my opinion crown and bluecoats had the best books in 09. Cadets kind of had a boring book and SCV well they couldnt do much because of their show. It might be the show the corp was doing and the music and not really allowing for a amazing book but I still think it could be more non-exercise like (BD). What are everyone's thoughts on this? I agree with you on Bluecoats, and would also throw in Boston, SCV and Phantom. Disagree on Crown. Some good drumming, but nothing all the interesting. In fact, quite boring.
