Just a hint. I'd stay away from visuals of things that you can do jail time for...

Some of the coolest visuals are "inside jokes" that are just funny you, or have a theme that is based around whatever you're playing. Have fun with it.

"Cutthroat" where you "slash" your throat with both sticks in one hand, and your head drops realistically as you "die."

Different arm motions... depending on the music, they could be sharp and aggressive, smooth and flowing, split/waves... anything, really.


The cutthroat visual is so hardcore. I wish I could find somewhere to put it in our show. But it's STYX, so I don't think it would fit anywhere really well. Oh well, it's a nice drum battle visual.

Another one that tenors could do (but it works better with snares in traditional grip) is like a FOB "cock it and pull it". Hold the sticks one on top of the other in your left hand, then use your right to "cock" the top stick, then pull them both up like a gun recoil.

Find a video of FOB playing "Sugar We're Going Down". The drummer usually does it at least once.

Another good one I saw in a video was the tenors using their sticks like a fork and knife and "eating" off the spock drum.

Didn't the Cavalier tenor line do something like that for the "Gun Battle" sequence in 2004?

I don't know I didn't see that show since they didn't come into town frown

But the aforementioned cavaliers video can be found by searching for a video called "2004 Cavaliers Tenor Sectional" those visuals are toward the end.

Yes, the Blue Devils quad line does that visual in their 2006 show. You could do the Power V, as demonstrated by the Glassmen snare line in this video.

Yeah Rhythm X in the lot at Dayton in 06, I saw that one live, that was a funny visual. As I recall they make a cutting motion, then they act like they eat it, then they rub their bellies. Pretty sure it's on youtube. That was the year they had all the items in front of the tenors that they had stolen out of Tim Fairbanks' house the night before, including a Cavaliers poster entirely in Japanese, and his microwave(!). They were also cooking burgers and selling them. I'm sure the visual is in one of these videos
