SFU Pipe Band - It's not just pipes

Their brand new, vibrant blue Andante drums give the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band drum corps a bold look, just as the new kilts do -- something lead drummer Reid Maxwell describes as that "visual wow factor." One of the world's most decorated pipe band drummers, Maxwell says his drummers are ready for the Worlds. Read the story here: www.sfu.ca/pamr...

Thanks for the briefing on the new hardware. We know about Premier®, the British manufacturer that supplies the Royal Army, and Pearl®, with an excellent line of products. Andante Drums® appears to be new to the marching-percussion market, but their gear sounds decent, as evidenced this video. Don't know why Yamaha® hasn't supported the pipe-band market with a FieldCorps™ tenor (I wanted to see an MT-8216 long drum in production, but the market seems to want an MT-8214 or MT-8215 snareless side drum) to complement the excellent MTS-9214 snare and MB-8228 bass drum....

Reid Maxwell's hometown is Bowhill, a suburb of Cardenden in Scotland.
