I am from a drum and bugle background. The drums when I marched were heavy. I can only imagine what those ones weigh. I also love the eagle paint on many of the drums even though I am a Canadian. Somehow a beaver painted on a drum doesn't hold the same effect. As far as a drummer I can say those lines are really polished to perfection. The fifes sound great and this muster is on my bucket list

I grew up in drum & bugle corps as well. I painfully remember those old 15" stainless steel Ludwig snares, and thick wood-shell Slingerlands. But most rope drums, despite their physical size, are featherweights compared to what I started out on. The shells tend to be thin and resonant, and without any hardware or metal rims adding to the weight, most rope-tension snare drums are quite comfortable in comparison. I hope you can make it to the muster one year! The other big event of the year is the Westbrook Muster which takes place in August. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bneUfZWIfc6SbKM

@gbrhythm go those Ludwig Chromeowood or as we called them Ciropractor heaven. I started on bass and we had a 42" thunder bass called Bertha that I took off every second I could. Thank God they wouldn't buy heads for it so I got the 36". Then I moved to tenors Chromowood 13" 14" and 16". They were any lighter but at least I was safe from the wind. If the wind hit Bertha you went for a ride. I nearly took out 4 senior citizens once turning a corner

Chiming in almost 15 years later to say how much I love this drumline. The musicality of the feature - and of the entire score - has always sat as a battery benchmark for me

What kinda sticks are those? They look like they don’t a have a bead

That was the DC-10 "Rob Carson model" from ProMark. They were available in hickory, oak, and for a brief time "ebony" (which you can see @2:20). Indeed, they had no "tip" but rather a tapered end. They were shorter than most sticks, and the original model had what I considered to be a really great balance and feel. ProMark still offers a DC-10 but it's much fatter and stubbier than the original, and doesn't really compare. They used to also offer it with a nylon "tip" but it was more of a nylon plug on the end of the stick to maintain the same overall shape and design. Trivia: The 27th Lancers used the nylon-tip version in of the DC-10 in 1984 (maybe other years, too?) for what was their best drumline ever. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYmoiIhup5ild9k

I remember watching my drum instructor go up against Rob in State I&E 1971. I saw 4 players a BD Sr D&B snare who's name I forgot, My instructor Terry Shalberg but before him was some guy from Royalaires who I think was Scott Johnson. I was supposed to play 3 camps but I never got registered and was only 9 so I didn't do a solo.
