flammaster Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 If they switch to ampssuck Pearl I will become an ex madison fan! I absolutely Hate pearl drums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadjanicek Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Madison won't be switching anything reguarding sponsors. Not only will they be playing Yamaha stuff, they will also be using Vic Firth sticks and mallets. madison has been pro-mark for quite a while now, if they are going VF that will be a change of sponsor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SourceTags8Codes Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 the only problem with them using pro mark stick and mallets is the mallets are very limited to their selection. The reason why their pit uses yamaha, probly beacuse their acoustilon series, the bars tend to be alot louder than adams systhetic bars, i mean i hate to say it but its true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hulka Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Does anyone know the last year Madison did NOT playYamaha? What brand did they use? I think they've been with Yamaha at least 15 years. Madison was the first corps to use Yamaha marching percussion and I believe the first year was 1985 (making 19 years). Prior to using Yamaha the corps played on Ludwig drums.

CheezMaster Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 I know Scouts are using VF because a few weeks ago I got a MDBCA newsletter and sure enough, on the back, it read: Deg/Dynasty, Vic Firth, and either Paiste still or Zildjian. I didn't see anything about Yamaha though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agdrum33 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 chances are that theyll play the vic firth hannums. since its not going to be colin's stuff, theres a good chance well see them with the stuff his mentor/colleague endorses.

gdisney Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 OK - I don't know much about percussion. Can someone explain what the difference would be battery wise if their using Pearl or Yamaha? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to using Yamaha the corps played on Ludwig drums. Right. Madison's last year with Ludwig was '84. That was the year they had big holes drilled into the shells, red drum sticks, and matched grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
