InHiFiStereo Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 So I was at my brother's place and he had this drum cadence, we sat there trying to figure out if there were 5 or 6 bass drums. I said that there were 5 distinct bass drums and he said there were 6. But this could all be a moot point if the cadence he downloaded isn't even one the USMC D+BC does. In my opinion it was the Texas Aggie band, but that's a different argument all together. Does anyone know how many bass drums the Marines use and if you also knew, how many bass drums the Texas Aggie Band uses?

InspaDave Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I've never seen the Commandant's Own with anything other than four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlade00 Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I think your right Dave, I can't remember seeing more than 4 last year.... but then again I could be wrong. And if you are asking about UT... they definitely had 5, at least thats how many they had at the Holiday Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau R Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I believe that the Texas A&M Aggie Band doesn't doesn't use bass drums tuned to different pitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzgok Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 The USMC uses a standard drumline size. 6 snares, 3 tenors, 4 bass and 3 plates. It's only the last couple years that the snareline went above 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
