SFZFAN Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Yes, they have a slight tilt. Personally, I like the look, always have. Thats new for Madison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark1 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Thats new for Madison. I’m not sure if it was done for ergonomic reasons, or as part of a “throwback look” for the 75th anniversary. I didn’t think to ask Lee Beddis last weekend. I wish I would have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainshdw08 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 A quick question for those of you who have seen the Scouts live this season: Are they tilting their snare drums this year? I've seen a couple of pictures and some of the drums looked tilted. Yup! Ala Santa Clara Vanguard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFZFAN Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I'm not a big fan of the tilt - simply because no corps has ever managed to get the angle uniform from drummer to drummer. Not going to question it though - that Scouts drumline is smoking this year - their instructors know what they're doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark1 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I grew up in the sling era, so they all have a tilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamMan Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I grew up in the sling era, so they all have a tilt. There have been many many snare lines with slings & perfectly flat drums. 1977 & 1978. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamMan Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 So why no Timpani this year for Madison? Have there been other corps who didnt use Timpani? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark1 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 There have been many many snare lines with slings & perfectly flat drums. 1977 & 1978. I think this started with SCV around 1974. Madison went to that in 1975. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark1 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 So why no Timpani this year for Madison? Have there been other corps who didnt use Timpani? Again, I wish I had thought to ask Lee about this. I will say that from a writing stand point, I did not miss them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFZFAN Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Again, I wish I had thought to ask Lee about this. I will say that from a writing stand point, I did not miss them. Guessing that made for lots of extra room on the equipment truck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
