Talked to a Vic Firth rep at TBA (Texas Bandmasters convention) he said they changed the pigment and texture so that the stick will absorb sweat and not slip out of the hand.
I agree, I think. I'd also press to argue that their books lack a certain amount of maturity. It feels like the drumline isn't an independent section but an accompaniment to the hornline, which while in essence should be a component of the drumline, stands out more than anything else. thus it feels like they're just there to build the hornline's pedestal. I think this goes back to what you're saying about identity. The books just don't feel musical or mature in this regard.
haha the poor horn players on timpani look so awkward. I wonder if they brought the percussion score down any cuz those judges would be merciless on poor attacks
It's not just you. I'm a huge Crown fan, but their drumline consistently underperforms. In my opinion, it's simply a lack of identity. The lines they're essentially competing with have all tailored a style that is unique to them, and that distinctiveness acts as a conduit for their respective success (and appeal to talented young players). I just don't get that from Crown's drumline, which is a shame because the hornline definitely has it.
haha...i know i was just joking, with all the vic firth annotations, and its on their page, their obviously sponsored by vic firth. And it looks kinda like the MTS1's btw.
when i make that comment, I don't want to undermine what they do. They play them pretty cleanly and that's not a run that would be -that- easy to clean, but...it's just kind of dry, especially considering that they are on 2 for the entire movement.
Take all the thumb down comments you have received for this post as a compliment. I would. It IS a high schoolish book. I have seen elsewhere other people saying that Hannum's parts are extremely complex. There is s word for those people and that word is idiot. SCV is complex. BD is complex. Cadets this year were insane. Crown . . . is just meh.
These guys play their book quite well, and I'm not someone who's in much a position to look down on members of drumcorps, but I do kind of think he's right... i wouldn't say cringe-worthy. But it is worth noting that the notes crown play in their percussion are...a touch underwhelming. especially pit. you'd need stamina to play those runs but that's really about it... i dunno, maybe that's just me
Of course, maybe I'm just indulging a troll. It seems like you have nothing positive to say about any of the other corps videos you comment on. Carry on.
Finally a fan of a different corp that can appreciate someone else winning. This is awesome. We need more people like you in this world.
OMG loved the snares ending
Thanks so much! I love DCI no matter who it is, even though I'm a huge blue devils fan! :)
love the crown logo on the snare heads!
AWESOME! GO CAROLINA CROWN! 2013 CHAMPS!
Love the tympani&bells/horn players!!! Such a cool combo and CC got gypped that year on percussion. So good! F those judges!
That tenorline and bassline were easily the best in DCI that year.
+karmew32 are u serious
Except for Bloo, BD, Cadets, and SCV for sure.

The percussion section should have gotten some thing better than 6th place. This is one of the best sections I have ever seen.
What sticks are the quads using?
The quads are using rougher-grain white MTS1s because the original finish & paint was slippery.
BD fan but this hornline is AMAZING
Did the Vic Firth MTS1 tenor sticks change from that canary like color to white? I really can't tell. But If they did, I really the like change!!
Why don't you show us how it's done? Post your book.
I think innovative percussions.
What sticks are the tenors using???
I agree, I think.

They actually took the lacker of the stick.
Not to be sexist or anything.....But I like seeing girls on bass drums more than dudes🤷🏽♂️

That one tenor player is a thug!

No....he sees the future.
