Matthew Hines Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I am a bass drummer from Muscle Shoals High school in Alabama, and I've been wondering if we are even respected, I mean we're not even audible even at full playing potential.

Yes, you are respected. If you aren't even audible then that is a balance/tuning issue your staff needs to address. I can hear my bass drum section just fine in the context of a marching band.

bluecoats88 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 yes, most of the other sections, Tenors and Snares don't understand how we are able to play all that split stuff, and they are impressed as hell by it. had one of the tenors I had marched with back in the 80's tell me in the 2022 bluecoats alumni corps that he doesn't know how we do that, referring to our splits and runs.
