84BDsop Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 To add a little meat to my comment now that I am home on the couch: I think it is a fair comment. The look of the Dynasty hardware and logo is sleek and modernist. Up against an attractive wood grain finish, which is a traditional, natural look, it clashes. Some may not agree, but not liking it is OK. And its not likely that it will ruin their entire summer. If you're focusing on the hardware while viewing from the stands -- especially at a regional where you might be in the upper deck -- you're missing the show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what your point is, other than maybe you live on a different planet that is currently on tour and having regional competitions. Here on planet earth, drum corps planet forums ... today, we are evaluating the look of drums. Plain and simple. From photos. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobrien Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 If you're focusing on the hardware while viewing from the stands -- especially at a regional where you might be in the upper deck -- you're missing the show. Had the poster said "####, those things are ugly, I won't be able to see what SCV's doing because those lugs are ungainly", maybe your comment would have made some logical sense as a response to his statement. But he didn't say that, or anything close to that, so... (and as previously stated, I agree - Dynasty's lug design is visually heavy, hence ugly. Design counts.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 BK's drums - good idea. Much like Troopers, when the unis are such dark colors, bright drums give that little bit of extra pop. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dans Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Speaking of WC drums, Cadets are marching an all rookie snare line this year. Don't think that is a negative though, these guys can flat out play and have great hands. Most promising snare line the Cadets have had in several years! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookies to the organization or rookies to drum corps? Big difference; if they're true rookies, I'm impressed. If they're just new to the corps, meh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookies as in first year with Cadets (no big) or first year marching drum corps at any level (insane). I've heard of lines with 12-15 rooks across the entire section (battery and pit), but never an all-rookie snare line. That is noteworthy.

Most promising snare line the Cadets have had in several years! all rookies??? why? that's strange, that many age outs? Phantom had an all rookie battery and pit last year (rookies to phantom), i know it's not quite the same as rookies to drum corps but still a pretty big deal.
