Aight aob y'all killed that

[@dr.d-i-t9227]

So....not to pry, but what happened to Rat Pateol? How long has this been the case? Does this mean that signature cadences are gone?

[@FlexxinJordan]

New material because old cadances have been out dated because everyone wants to sound the same

[@jaymack6691]

Did they play DUNGY from MMB

[@lilpotts10]

From MMB?

[@unpopularfacts2448]

Dungy is a TSU cadence, MMB just played it

[@jaymack6691]

@@unpopularfacts2448 MMB played it first in 2014

[@lilpotts10]

Jay mack Tsu originated this in the early 2000's.. Dungy is not a mmb cadence.

@@lilpotts10 Why they changed it?

[@lilpotts10]

Political reasons

[@snarecarlos]

Down right tenors???? LOL

[@etgrider77]

That's TSU tradition and plus that is the original standard position for a tenor. FAMU and a few other schools still have them. Chest tenor is something that started in the 90's.

[@dandresingleton6621]

Leg tenors will never leave tsu. And it shouldn't!!!!

[@doublejeopardy01]

Ok Rat Patrol!

[@marquisjones90]

it's time retired leg tenors pls.. great drum section

[@tonymccrady6525]

The Devil is a lie. Still try to grasp the rationale behind a chest tenor. Just play the bass

[@dr.d-i-t9227]

@@tonymccrady6525 I asked someone years ago who was in southern's line and the argument is sound projection. With chest tenors, the sound goes out to the audience. With leg tenors it goes to the ground. Single tenors were originally played on the leg, so there's a historical argument for the preference. I'd only want for leg tenor players to have strong wrists so that they can compete against a section with chest tenors

Liquid Light you sound stupid asl

[@ladyaltovise2294]

U buggin Son

[@liquidlightz]

Not hardly. Barely played any technical rudiments, stick height was poor, everyone is playing the same volume. A university percussion section should strive for better.

[@liquidlightz]

@@unpopularfacts2448 nothing technical or wowing about it. It would be cool if TnSU was a high school section but this was basic. If this is supposed to be a showcase bring your best material.
