Crossmen were elite but the ensemble and overall book wouldn’t hold up today. Most books from then wouldn’t. (There is one exception…more on that in a minute. You can probably guess who.) I can only speak from my years of following the activity, but the lines that always stand out to me in my memories (and I’m biased in some ways) are: 86 BD 87 SCV 89 SCV 91 SCV and Cavaliers 91-92 Bones (2 favorite drum solos ever) 93 Star (and this is the exception, and also the 🐐) 94 BD and Cadets 97-98 SCV 99-00 Cavaliers Very solid list. As to the original question, as noted, the FE book is a little basic compared to what’s being performed now. The battery book is fine, but perhaps not as textured as what the top 4 or 5 lines are running with today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s era-appropriate for sure, and still ######, but these days it’s ram-mish to the point of overwritten, and it’s way too 16th-note based - it’s very “square.” It’s also got like 72 flams in like 32 bars. Mike Hit it on the head as did several others. Very square. The early 1990's called and they want their compound super-duple back. That being said....I lurve it. Great writing for the time. Very "fat." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
