Oh please. No human being on the planet should ever complain about carrying a snare drum. March around a field with the deep shell Pearl tenors and then come talk to me.

try carrying ludwig drums in the late 80's.

their basses were like tanks strapped to your chest

well I know in the pit that isn't true

Yeah, I know that as well: kind of why I specified drum line.

I'm fairly sure that either

a) drum corps rookies CAN be in the snare line and what I heard was rubbish (or misunderstood)

or

b) Cadets don't typically take drum corps rookies in the battery but will make an exception if the player is outstanding and mature (i.e. Cadets' staff aren't worried he'll flake)

FWIW I'm also from OH, and I remember discussions in high school when myself or other drum corps fanatics would impatiently correct not-so-big drum corps fans when they too would refer to Cavaliers as 'Cavs.' We'd always come back with "Cavs are in Cleveland, Cavaliers or Cavies are the drum corps."

I get that; I was mostly being facetious :satisfied:

It's all good... thumbup.gif We're all just trying to have some good clean fun... That's why we're here and not somewhere else... tongue.gif

So no change from last year....or have the new covers not been done yet?

I remember that BD didn't get their new drums in '07 until June, so they did some exhibitions with the old blue and black godfather drums. I'd imagine that's what's going on with Cavies, but those drums do match the uniform very well in my opinion.

Heard on good authority that there's something new on the way.

Meanwhile, Spirit, as per Pearl's FB
