The marching sport …
The marching sport (like the previous analogy) is Divide by generally what some people peferre either Showstyle or Corpstyle. I myself like both, but gravitate more towards showstyle bands, because Corpstyle gets a bit mamotanous (in my opinion). However I don’t think anyone from either can talk on anyone until you have marching that style. I wasn’t in a Showstyle band, but I was in a more traditional style band and don’t think a lot of poeple corpstyle could do what they do and vice versa.

Alright,I have read …
Alright,I have read this post and some of the on here can be boiled down to, that some close minded people don’t like things no matter how you look at it. The marching sport is much like rugby, its broken up into two different styles: Rugby Union and Rugby League. Both are equally Fun to play and both take a certain amount of skill to play. But in the end they both get the job done. The same can be said about the two style of Marching Band.

Take in to …
Take in to consideration for a 2:43 comerical im pretty sure visuals will get the audiences attention better than correct stick heights and sticking.

For all the hataz …
For all the hataz this is an excellent piece. Yea they might not have had their sticking correct but someone love what they are doing if they are in a commerical. The cadence was a very great groove stlye flow and I think this is a top video dealing with percussion on youtube. Great work Alabama St.

Let’s put this in perspective for all of the haters. How many of these guys in this video are watching YOU on a commercial? LOL!! That’s what I thought. Now who’s the experts? hmmmmm…stop putting music in a cookie cutter box. If it doesn’t fit your mold, it’s not right? That’s soooooo narrow minded.

woa woa woa stickin …
woa woa woa stickin stickin this cadence should be called stickin control.

And I see what the corps ppl are talkin about (anyone who talks about quarter notes per minute and 2/4 rimshots by their proper names must be corps), i play traditional/showstyle percussion and I say those rolls were dirty foo, and the stickin aint consistent ie heights and angles…not to mention that cadence aint complicated or good soundin my crabs could prolly learn this in a day. and it took em 3 for M&S

what does style …
what does style have to do with technique? Are the uneven stick heights, lack of rudimentary precision, phasing problems, and dirt have to do with style? If thats style, Ive seen plently of junior high drumlines play sixteenth note triplets on tenors, and 2/4 rimshots while humping their snares…and if you think I have a bug up my about show lines (aka. “this type of drumming”), Ive seen plently of show lines play extremely well..
