FWIW, our drum instructor marched 1982 BD; he referred to them as 'gock' drums. Maybe gock evolved to spock or vice versa? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna say they were 10-12-12-14-14-16-16 from what I was told. I don't even know what you could even call the "Spock" really. For a while they marched North drums, inc snares. Got rid of them quick - weighed too much and made ticks much easier to hear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 89...top 2 both great. i liked Phantom better than SCV...i think the 88 SCV versionw as far better, but Phantoms drums on the ride part...oh my god live it was hideous Cavies....looking back you can see where it was going...BD...that solo....Cadets...man if they had had that ending...Star...good show, but top to bottom didn't have the oomph future years did.. Maidson...just didn't and still don't like it....Bloo....about usual for them...Suncoast...fun, i liked 85 better...Freelancers welcome back!!...VK so much fun, and Crossmen welcome back, so love that show, tho i do like 88 better.... under the top 12...I LOVE Spirit and Sky Ryders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got rid of them quick - weighed too much and made ticks much easier to hear. I remember seeing the north drums and then of course BD brought them back for part of the show in 86'. I also know Jeff and a few others marched Stingrays which were pretty much the same thing. I had to play on a Remo Legato at PAS one year for some show and it was pretty hefty for being made of what appeared to be cardboard and tinfoil. Tenor part difficulty evolved SO much from the mid to late 80s and then into the 90s. Tenor players now (because there's no tick system I'm guessing) play a lot more notes. I remember vividly the tenor parts between 87 and 90 and they're nothing like today lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An odd year for battery percussion for sure. Oh, man - I *loved* those split shells. They did it again in '91 with the free floaters - it was beautiful.
