idk, i saw some kid start to play them in middle school, and i was like, "can i play those?" and they said sure, so i played the tenors, and i loved it, and they replaced the other guy with me, lol

Hahaha. They replaced him with you? Wow. That's almost...sad. Haha. Good job, man.

Because I freakin love 'em! Can't get enough. Unlike snare, the possiblilities are just endless. ANYTHING you can do on snare, you can do on quads. BUT you can do it on 5 more drums!

I really didn't choose tenors. My line was all messed up cause we had someone not in band join and someone quit. I sorta got stuck with quads, but I was fine with it. I really like the tenors. I might have to play snare next year but I'd rather play tenors.

the reason i started playing was when i was in middle school, the high school quad player SUCKED. he couldn't do a crossover to save his life. so during the summer between middle school and freshman year i practiced my butt off. when tryouts came around i knew all the music by heart and was confident that i would get the spot. i made it for quads. since than we have had two guad players. ive taught two out of the three other quad players to play. now im the dumline sectron leader and lead quad player.

When I was in 6th grade we had 2 snare drummers and 2 tenor players that marched corps, and I used to sit around the music dept and watch those dudes play. one of the tenor players was the tenor section leader at Troopers back in the 90's. being so young and watching someone play like that just made me want to hop on the drums. Then I saw BD at a local show in '99.............after seeing those dudes drum.........it was on.

I couldn't play traditional.

I like being able to play some kind of melody. I also like the challenge of having 5 or 6 drums vs one.
