The BAC bassline at DCI Prelims

Why did bass 1 get a new (smaller?) drum at the end when it was bass 2’s head that popped and they had a replacement head?

[@allanedwards9724]

Those techs know the real reason. My best guess (as a bass tech myself) is the bass 1 got the smaller drum and bass 2 got the bass 1’s drum so they were able to keep warming up/playing while the head got changed.

They carry a smaller spare bass drum as a spare. When the head popped, the top bass was moved down to 2 and the top bass played the smaller spare.
