I count study with Frank Arsenault as one of my best strikes of fortune in my life path. I recall and still have my Strutze book as well as Precision Drumming by you Larry. I studied your back sticking instructions as well as Mitch’s Ludwig Drummer explanations. Thank you for these many interviews. ❤️😊
Thank you so much for this post, very educational. I did see this post once before several years back. Today is June 21st 2022. Former member of olph from Brooklyn New York, 1956 through 59, Floyd Bennett golden eagles 1960 and 1961, from Brooklyn New York. After turning 21 it's going to Long Island Sunrisers 1964 through 1968. I wish today's so-called drum corpse oh, they are really marching bands, I wish they would start playing more rudiments. Today we no longer have real drum and bugle Corps.
I agree 100%. Today we no longer have real drum and bugle course. In my opinion, DCI and with the help of DCA, has turned the activity into a marching band competition, superimposed on a three ring circus. The drummer's today are more like jugglers in a circus and that's where they belong they played very few rudiments but hundreds of Rim shots throughout their program, also arms flailing all over the place Kama also to Body English and head-bobbing they are all out of sync with one another. It's disgusting what has happened to real rudimental drumming. Walmart's new drama with the Floyd Bennett golden eagles 1960 and 1961 karma from Brooklyn New York, also former member of the Long Island Sunrisers 1964 through 1968. Today is August 31st 2023

Excellent interview!
Good stuff.
Thanks Chuck for watching
Frank Arsenault told me that the future of rudimental drumming is in the fife and drum corps. He's been proven right.

You need great chops to play on these drums. Very little bounce. These are some of the best rudimental drummers out there.
