I Like Drum Corps Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 (edited) Cavaliers 2000-2002 drums with the natural wood grain. Santa Clara had similar drums sometime in the early 2000s as well. Those were my favorites. Also, I really liked Devils' drums in 1998 and Southwind's drums in 1999 - black hardware on black shells. Slick. Here's an additional question for this thread - which drum company do you think has the best/coolest/baddest looking drums? I am not refering to wrap or finish, but rather the drum itself (and I suppose this applies mostly to the snare drum). I vote for Yamaha.

gbass598 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I also liked the PR 06 drums, especially the basses. Yeah the snares and tenors were cool with the fade from red to black. But the basses had a double fade with red in the middle fading to black at the edges. In my mind's eye I keep picturing those drums with the Uni's from 96 and I go All of the drums were different. The basses were red in the middle like you mentioned and the snares and tenors faded in opposite directions. The snares faded down to red like the picture shows and the tenors faded up to red from the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmansdrummin Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Yes that is me with an 04-05 Cavaliers snare. I was gonna buy a Yamaha snare from a local dealer but the cheapest I could find was $700. Let's just say that this was my Christmas present b**bs (and if you don't believe that's me with my drum I can very easily verify it for you if you are a skeptic). Pretty drum nonetheless. Just curious, how do you get drums that were used by a drum corps. There are some cool looking drums out there, and it would be nice to get one.

kmansdrummin Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Early-mid 70's SCV copper drums, cool. 78 BD pearl, "big band" looking drums. Renegades latest. 04 SCV. 04 Cavies complimented the whole show perfectly. 06 Phantom, WOW!!!! Those must have cost some bucks, (if you had to buy them).

Walter Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Being a contra player for eight years, I thought that the 1976 Blue Devils white drums were outstanding in their field !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't buy individual drums from Yamaha because they will only sell the whole line. I happened to buy mine from a dealer in Indiana.

Heh, shows how much I pay attention to the snares and tenors :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middlenamekyle Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I'm a big fan of the recent Crossmen drums. Red with Chrome Hardware. http://www.yea.org/images/content/photos/large_16177.jpg and I know this is a thread about corps drums but maybe someday a corps will use a set of drums with the same custom finish I put on mine... http://photos-046.facebook.com/ip002/v50/2...521046_5300.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
