SFZFAN Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) You know I'm a Madison guy but the drums do nothing for them. Last year's drum finish would have suited the new uniforms better. I wonder if the drums are new or if they are using those cheap looking "slips' BD, Crossmen, and Boston are using?

I think you may have been 'gotten' ... are you referring to the pic in the previous post (from the 90s)?

No I'm talking about the grey drums the Scouts are using tonight. They sound great but visually they are boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkC Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Oh, OK ... at least we got mylar on snares! They have Remo Blackmax (Kevlar) on the batter top head. And I agree, those flat gray drums don't match the show theme. They should be all chrome or something. However, the line sounds great!

If that is a reference to used drums, I believe Boston has all new drums this year (as well as all new brass). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeN Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Slips are printed vinyl covers that wrap around the wooden drum shells (and on bass drums, the wooden rims as well). Bluecoats last year used them on their battery. Blue Devils are using them this year. The advantage is they're removable (and thus you don't have to sell/buy new drums each year) and they can be printed with some faaaaar out stuff. Check out that On2 link above - they've got some crazy-looking samples. One day I'm going to get the circuit board one for my drum.
