I think there may have been a little misunderstanding of terms. Yup. Implying that an existing section's worth, musically or visually, is any less important is a very unrational perspective. However, it was acknowledged that as a result of the pit's ability to duplicate a cymbal line's musical contribution, their visual presence is not a necessity.

I don't think Jaco was saying the technique itself was less important, but rather that wasting time trying to teach a technique that will ultimately come across as inadequate teaching for various reasons in that situation makes the cymbal section less important than the other three battery sections. Precisely. Thanks, John. I do love cymbal lines, but I "misspoke" (heh) in my previous post. It wasn't so much the teaching of the technique I was referring to, but rather the existence of the section. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

At first, our band director was like, "oh... you're marching... cymbals?.... cool." That's what it sounded like at least. But, after a while, we were switching instruments and the teacher said "no, the visuals really add to the show effect." He wouldn't let us switch after he saw the difference cymbals made.
