I’m hoping to do a side by side comparison with my school’s Pearl Carboncore. They're coming back? (again?) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always nice to see women/girls represented in drumcorps, and definitely in the drumline! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is an expectation for them to be a huge player in the marching market but just to have a presence. I'm supposed to see a new snare drum at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to a couple of comments I found on Reddit and BK’s instagram…no idea if this is for real what they do. Definitely a first in my years of following the activity! Think of these as the bass drum version of roto toms. These are sealed airtight and the members can change the pitch of the drum by blowing into the pipe and can maintain the pitch by blocking the hole with their tongue. Pretty neat stuff!

I mean honestly, the Resonators were a good marching snare. Light, good projection and a nice strainer setup that was pretty easy to tune. I heard tell that replacement parts were a pain but I never confirmed it. Didn't Premier invent the free floater? I still have my 484. BTW played on a Premier Resonator kit once.

That would be very cool...very,very cool. A one way valve with a bladder that inflates WOULD act just like a roto-tom (ahhhh how I do miss them so) and change the pitch pretty dramatically. Certainly a "one season wonder" instrument but super cool. I don't envy those bass cats. All season people are gonna be coming up to them saying "Bruh...can I blow in your bass drum?" Nope!! The coolest we ever had were the telescopic legs. We also had posters taped to the inside of the drums and you could look through the air vent and see the poster. Ludwigs had like 974 vent holes back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These companies have gotten so much better at these fade finishes and now that we have super hard waterborne top coats like Brite Tone back on the market, it's game on. 15 coats of that stuff I bullet proof (not literally but trust me. I use it on cues now so I don't get blood poisoning.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
