Absolutely true. I've experimented with both gut and cable, Kevlar vs Mylar (single and double rimmed,) bottoms etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most definitely, you'd see 2-5 or even more point jumps from a show on a regional circuit one day and then the DCI show the next day.

Judge A loved Sky's tuning, even if it made them sound fuzzy, and jumped on the Rebs because their tuning exposed everything. Judge B loved the Rebels tuning and gave it up because he thought Sky's tuning consistently added a layer of fuzz where you couldn't tell if truly clean, or fuzzy. B judged finals, Rebels won, thus allowing Dad and I to celebrate high percussion trophies 20 years apart I hear that.... it was a "horses for courses" thing with some judges. Our drum line in Sun went through that. Some judges preferred their style... a more musical book and different tuning... others preferred a more rudimental style. Sunrisers and Skyliners, late 1970s-early 80s. Two different styles... both of which fit their corps' overall style... two great lines.

He has his POV, I have mine. I think he is wrong and harsh and he thinks I am too liberal. It's OK. It is what it is. Time to move forward as rehashing solves nothing.
