drumcat Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 http://www.rolandus.com/products/productde...px?ObjectId=849 Click on the video link on the page. He'll demonstrate that this is an electronic input device, and would have been legal. Yes - a strict interpretation of the rule, as written, would indeed allow for this. Why? Isn't it stringed? Well, an instrument makes a noise... the "guitar" he's playing is fully plugged in, and acts as a controller for the system. If you're not sure, you could play the VG-99 with a midi keyboard, too. There were no restrictions on the input device. We were thisclose to allowing a corps to use this, or something like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrothgar15 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I heard about these things called brass and percussion instruments that I personally think would be really cool to see in drum corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PR_ducky Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Thats pretty cool. Not for drum corps in my opinion, but still a pretty cool piece of equipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburstall Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) I heard about these things called brass and percussion instruments that I personally think would be really cool to see in drum corps. Quit sounding like one of those neanderthal traditionalists. Today's marching units can only use be amps, electronics and woodwinds. Brass and percussion are a thing of the past.

They'll probably get the MikeD Award for High Strings at finals. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
