The pristine roll is a great feeling. We had that in the snareline at Spirit under Float in 1980 on mylar heads. Eleven snares playing and sounding as one. No other feeling in group drumming better than that- and watching the field judges looking for tics and finding none is another great feeling. Sometimes they would just stand there for a while, look at us and smile as they walked away to find tics somewhere else.
@@Drumlinechops I marched in the snare line under Float in 1980. We tied for high percussion that year which was a DCI first and so the judges got together and decided to break the tie using the general effect score which gave the actual trophy to Dennis Delucia and the Bridgemen. We had the high execution score at finals that night and those "pristine rolls" were on point for sure. What memories and a great year to march drum corps in Atlanta.
Thanks for the lesson! How do you not get lost for example if you were to hold the roll longer and you're basically playing a double stroke roll at that point?

You were with Tom Float? Hats off to you, sir!
Just to clarify, did you teach under him or did you march under him?
