FrontEnsemble302 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 (edited) I have had an all female bass section at the high school line that I teach for the past 3 years. We had some problems with our feeder middle school in regards to percussionists so I had to enlist the help of woodwind players to carry our bassline. They're freaking PHENOMENAL. The little girl who's marching #5 this year is a HAUSS...even though she's only 5'4 and about 110lbs. I say "YOU GO GIRL"...carry that bass drum proud. And hopefully your Caption Head appreciates the virtue of bass drum stands. Edited April 7, 2004 by FrontEnsemble302 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mergician Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Female bass drummers! There is nothing more attractive to me than that. Seriously, it's a big turn-on for me. Anyways, does anyone know of Sarah Hageman? She was on the Blue Devils bassline from '93-'95. I know she played top bass in '95 (sweet show). As for bottom bass girls, word!

You all don't even use stands when learning music? that's interesting...I understand the concept of physical stamina and all that jazz...but that blows my mind that you all never use stands.

alexnielsen Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 that's interesting...I understand the concept of physical stamina and all that jazz...but that blows my mind that you all never use stands. The first time I ever saw a drum corps using stands was 97 Blue Devils. As, far as I know, it's a relatively new phenomenom. Drum corps, and especially drumline, has always had that "we're tough and ######" and all that. Don't get me wrong, it makes sense to use stands, especially for winter camps and such. I'm just suprised that it "blows your mind". I must be getting old... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKnowEveryThing Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I believe that women bass drumers are inferior to that of the males... until i meet a girl that can best me in the areas of the bass, I will not change opinion and I will continue to spread the word that female bass drummers lack in talent.
