Paul Milano Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 (edited) 1965 THE SOLO INTO WATERMELLON MANFlam Drags into the 32nd singlestroke 9 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was honored to be able to play this one with the Royal Airs Alumni Corps in 2003. It is called "The Coffin." And yes, you are about half-dead when you get done playing it! 1967 MEAT INTO METALSHOE'S TO TULIPSAKA THE ONE HANDER PS. Thank you Paul M. from the Cavies <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You might also find it interesting that Tom Float felt this was one of the best solos ever too. He would teach it to all his lines (Oakland, Spirit, Blue Devils, VK, etc.). Edited October 17, 2004 by Paul Milano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketman Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 For sure SCV 80, Madison and 27 doing whatever that solo was. Madison 75 Dueling Banjos, and for those of you familiar with senior corps 1969-70 Toccata by the Pittsburgh Rockets. Well ahead of their time. Rocketman - Pick up those tymps and MARCH! ampssuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobrien Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 SCV's first solo in '75 was (imho, of course) one of the most sophisticated musical segments of its era, and would hold up very well today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84BDsop Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 80 SCV: Stone Ground Seven....kevlar clean on mylar heads...un ####### believable! 80 Spirit: The Devil Went Down to Georgia...hey...it was a Float line with a 5 tick show! 81 Troopers: Turkey in the Straw: any corps that can make that tune into a good solo....best basses I've heard from the pre-pit era.

Russellrks Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 SCV's first solo in '75 was (imho, of course) one of the most sophisticated musical segments of its era, and would hold up very well today. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You beat me to it Mobrien. I can't remember the name of that drum solo to save my life but I remember it was in 9/8 with the left foot on the downbeat of one coming only once every four bars. The second bar the mark time was all off beats. The third bar had the #1 down beat on the right foot, and the fourth bar was again all off beats. Try marking time to it sometime. It also had one of the most difficult tympani parts I've ever seen or heard. They were cranking their butts off! '75 Santa Clara drumline, best of their era and way ahead of their time.
