Yes. I understand that. I've tried to urge my BD to get us a new set of quints.. But I am going to try to get some new heads. Also, I heard from a guy who was in this drumline lastyear (got kicked out..) and he said that we could buy the small tenor (the quint or the 5th drum) that will just snap on the our quads and personally I've never heard of this. I mean We're using Yamaha PowerLite tenors and if we get a "snap on quint" it probably wouldn't sound the same as the other drums.. Just to get this straight, is it possible to buy a "snap on quint"?

You mean the Spock/Gock/Splock/Shock? There'a bunch of names for it. The little 6 inch drum that goes in the middle? You can't just "snap" it on. You have to by the Yamaha Spock (with the attachment to put the spock on -- There's a couple of threads around here about installing Spocks onto drums. It's actually quite easily. Just slide it in from the side of the Bar [You'll have to remove the part that connects the 4th drum or the 3rd drum to the carrier bar]). Not just any ol' Spock.

Yeah, Spocks give a nice little 'spock' sound and are great for accents and just accentuating the music. Plus, 5 drums are better than 4. This season you'll probably have to wait to incorporate the Spock into your show until next year.

Yeah. There's no way we could one right now. Too far along in marching season for one.. Ha, and I talked to my BD about getting new tenor heads today.. Ha..... ha... WE have to buy them he said.. As in, either only myself, or myself and the assist. captain... Omg he's too stubborn -.-. He can't let a couple bucks go from the band to get new heads, yet our color guard get every-fricken-thing they want.. Such as new uniforms like.. every year, plus new flags every year and our BD takes THAT money from the band for them.. X_x. Ugh.... Anywho, thanks again.
