Thank you Mark! You may not remember me but you helped write my drill for Long Beach ms high school indoor drumline. Just bought a pearl marching snare with an Evans head. Any tips?

If you put tape on your snares is it bad to leave the snare switch permanently in the on position?

[@kadinmcdonald865]

Not trying to be mean, but why are you putting tape on your snares in he first place

[@kadinmcdonald865]

Is this a common thing in not aware of

[@hunteralexander9791]

Kadin McDonald it reduces a possible buzz that can be heard sometimes after the attack, which can make the sound more staccato. It’s a pretty common thing and I know that the blue devils did this at least a few years back if they aren’t still doing it

Dosent osu use plastic heads? Just saying cuz was curious why they don’t use kevlar

[@alexmatthes]

They used to, they just recently made the switch when they moved from slings to harnesses.

[@flarfatron2190]

Alex Matthes they switched to harnesses? Do they use Kevlar now?

[@alexmatthes]

@@flarfatron2190 I believe so.
