bluecoats88 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Snare - Tim Green, Cadets '00 Shouldn't tone quality for a percussion instrument be credited to the guy who tuned the drum before the show, since a marching member can't influene the tone of the drum during playing like a brass player can.

Yes you can. The technique you use with the stick to approach the drum greatly influences the sound. I would say that quality of sound is arguably the most important part of playing percussion along with playing clean within the line.

elphaba01 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Soprano is easy...Mike Collins during the slow section of Channel One Suite in 1986 Blue Devils. Simply amazing, and it looked effortless. "Soloists With Tone": David Lang (Baritone) and Greg "Harpo" Blum (Soprano) from the Colts. Incredible hornplayers and DEDICATED, as either one of them could have marched with ANYBODY, but chose to remain with and "Age Out" of their corps. I believe both of them won their respective DCI "Indy" Championships back in the 1970s. Elphaba WWW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person with most control over the tone quality of any instrument is undoubtedly the person playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only great tone, but probably the fullest sound I ever heard out of a bari. He could have played from the backstands and you would still hear him clear as a bell.

DreamBig Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Perhaps the best soprano soloist of all-time -- I know it's a huge statement -- is Adam Rappa from East Coast Jazz. Incredible tone. Unbelievable range. And no one I have heard ever improvised better than he did. Had he chosen to march with one of the big boys -- maybe BD or Madison -- he would be a legend. Those who have played with him in BLAST! can attest to what a MONSTER musician he is. Simply incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
