AnthonyMous Registered: 02/15/05	If you were starting fresh, what instrumentation would you use for a show style line? I'm thinking 5 snares, 4 tenors, 2 quads and I want to try to both tonal and unison basses, so 5 tonal and 2-4 slammers. Anyone?

kevin_fu Registered: 06/16/00 Loc: Southern MD	i think you can get ~~alot~~ a lot more show and ~~alot~~ a lot more style if you add more instrumentation...but that's just an outsider looking in. perhaps that logic doesnt work here. _________________________ -Kevin Instructor/Tech Northern HS - Owings, MD \| Winter '03 - Fall '04 Patuxent HS - Lusby, MD \| Fall '06 Huntingtown HS - Huntingtown, MD \| Fall '07 Project PIW - Pittsburgh, PA \| '05 - Cymbals Promote Tolerance\|Go Redskins!

AnthonyMous Registered: 02/15/05	Smokinsnare, what kind of technique program do you guys use, or do you just strap up and work on beats?
