rut-roh Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Crossmen 2000 In a million years, I never would have thought I'd see the 2000 Crossmen drumline listed in anything having to do with "best." That was arguably their worst drumline and drum book in the last 20 years IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjeffeory Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) There have been so many great drum features in the past, that it's hard to say. SCV had a bunch. I really enjoyed the breaks during Festive Overture years (85,86). Blue Devils have had a slew of great features too. 1986 was a great year for their feature.... A few that come to mind that haven't been mention too much are the following: "Seasoned Skool" Bluecoats 1987, 1988 <- Snare Drum-to-Drum and adding snares as the feature goes on in Autumn Leaves.... Bluecoats 1989 <- Cool feature before the end Cavies 1987-1990 <- was fun to march the "snake in a blender" drill in 90 during the feature. SCV 1987, 1990 VK 1987, 1988 <- Snare Drum-to-Drum and adding snares to the Drum-to-Drum as the feature goes on in "Africa"... "Nuevo ESkool" Cadets 2000 Cadets 2005 minus the speak thing. On the new school front, not a lot comes to mind. I know there are short features that a really cool, but the integration of all sections of the corps musically has pretty much brought an end to the extended "percussion" only feature. I miss it as it's actually nice to see one done every once in a while! Edited May 24, 2006 by jjeffeory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdewine Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Okay old-timers...who remembers this? 1969 or '70, St. Joseph's of Batavia drum solo...a mixture of "The Syncopated Alarmclock", and "Westminster Chimes" (on tympani) Cool solo for it's time!

GGarrett Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) gosh ...sooooooo many great ones, and I hate to slight anyone. And so many under-rated ones, so many basically "ignored" ones, so many forgotten ones. Jeez... to say "favorite" is tough.... BUTT... Blue Devils - 1976 - Buddy Rich solo to a "T" SCV - most years - '80 - '82 - '87 standouts Cavaliers - a few years ago... pretty good!! (understated intentionally...) Cadets - 2004/2005 - whoa.

That was arguably their worst drumline and drum book in the last 20 years IMO. Sounded cool. And it's not a best drum feature thread, it's a favorite drum feature thread.
