One thing I realized, in your video, was that when your walking to the north end zone, we’re going to need a new flag pole on the top of the stadium. Great Video. Thank you so much for sharing your contributions to LSU. #GeauxTigers #ForeverLSU

Played bass drum at every game in 1968 and Peach Bowl 1969. Played cymbals on the field. On our way back to the band hall after one of the games, a very inebriated fan asked me "Whaddaya hafta know to play the cymbals?" I answered truthfully, "Nothing. Except when."

I always wondered, what’s the purpose of using pipe band bass drums for the pregame? I know it’s probably just tradition but just thought I ask!
@nickashton332 жыл бұрын
For sure! We’ve used them since the early 2000s and this is our second generation of them, we got these in 2018. It goes back to tradition, like a lot of things with Tiger Band. According to an alumnus who was there when the original generation of pregame basses was purchased, the director at that time liked the pipe-band style drum that an Alumnus was marching with in Alumni Band, since it reminded him of the drums he used in his time in Tiger Band. From there, he sought about getting four identical ones made by Ludwig for use in the modern band. That’s what I know about it! Plus, from personal experience, it’s much easier to do a “to the rear” marching motion with a 12” wide drum than it is with a 14” wide drum.
