Anonymous Unregistered	What kind of unique implements have you used on marching bass drums? one of my personal favorites is using promark thunder rods. it's a unique sound, little softer, but kinda a brush on bass. very nice effect if you can fit it in.

MadFerOasis6 Registered: 05/24/04 Loc: Pulaski, VA, USA	My old instructor showed us videos of his old lines where they took some ordinary brooms and cut the handles down to size so it would be easier to play. It made a pretty cool effect... _________________________ Pulaski County High School (03-04)-2nd Bass (04-05)-Tenors (05-06)-Tenors, Percussion Captain

Anonymous Unregistered	Last year, during our ballad, the bassline used dreadlocks, jingle sticks, and blasticks. Really neat effect.
