MetalTones2012 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Didgeridoo. Some consider it a percussion instrument, some consider it an aerophone. Carolina Crown used synthesized didgeridoo tones in 2009, but not an actual didgeridoo. If a drum corps had a real one in the pit, would that break any rules? This is purely out of curiosity. I know of no drum corps that are even considering using one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Slide whistles, Bird Calls, bottles, etc... can be used as peripheral aerophone instruments in the percussion section. So, it stands to reason (and this is a guess) that if the Didgeridoo was used in the same peripheral manner as those instruments it would logically fall under that same auxiliary category.

Stu Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Thank you! This is the exact kind of logical, serious, factual answer I was looking for! But... I said it was just a logical *guess*; and that also presupposes the people within DCI are logical when making their rules.

I had a serious question and if people aren't going to give me serious answers it does more damage than good to keep it open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
