1968BACDline.jpg SPEAKING OF SNARES AND TENORS BC 1968

Oh yes, 1968 Boston’s rebuilding year? the all new Snare, Tenor, and Bass Line?

The year St. Mary’s would finally beat them in Drums. NEVER HAPPENED !

Gerry S. recently said. this was his finest line, he had all the drummers young enough to develop the “Proper Technique” We had no idea they were practicing three to four times a week from Sept. But we would soon

find out, Like a Machine, so Demanding and Musical.

Do I remember 1968, unfortunately Oh yes.

I didn't know that the 68 BC drumline was in a rebuilding mode - one of my all-time fave BC drumlines was 67 - anyone know how many rookies were in the 68 line?

Two BC 67 Tenors , the D.Bass from 67, along with One Rookie became

the Snare line.

The Tenor Line was from the feeder Corps. Gerry Had been teaching all

the drummers in the feeder corps and the BC Tenor’s were taught with

traditional grip, which made for a smooth transition from tenor to snare
