"Heat" by Brandon I. Johnson-Jewell

What drum does the second part play? It looks like it’s supposed to be snare, but sounds like drum 4 of a tenor.

[@benzoentertains]

That line is meant for Tenor drum. In the HBCU band world, it’s like a small bass drum. Only difference is that instead of being the driving beat, it adds a new layer to the cadence/song being played. Also: we call “tenors” quads or quints.

@@benzoentertains so if my school’s Drumline (which does not have a ”Tenor”) wanted to play this, would we play it on the highest bass drum or have one quint play on drum 4?

[@benzoentertains]

@@davidcaycedo4104 I would just not have that specific played OR Make up a part for the drop basses to fill in the gap If you’d like, I could go back and write a part and upload it

@@benzoentertains I think I could write something, but I’d love to see what you could come up with

...so on that main groove where the second line plays, on the crescendo to forte, it shows 4 notes, but I'm pretty sure I hear 6

[@benzoentertains]

So the second line (played by the tenor drums) is written to have 4 notes played. The extra 2 notes you hear are being played by the quints. This is because I used the lowest drum from the quints to be played as the "tenor drums." The program I used to write the music doesn't have a drum I can use, so I make do with what I have. It's recommended that the drumline that plays this cadence have snares, cymbals, tenors, bass, and quints.
