Just to clarify, the strap-style snare is tough to get use to, it took me about a month, but I row is very clean for having 12 snares and having them tipped on the strap. There is a greater resonation with the clear heads, so I tend to think there is a slightly more powerful, militaristic sound than kevlar. Gary Hodges is the percussion instructor, a former DCI percussion judge. He wouldn't let the line sound dirty:)

I'm no percussionist, but I'll have you know, they have zero issues playing, accenting, or doing anything else.Yes, the sound is very strong. I prefer it over the sound of the front-mount/kevlar-head tuned all the way drum that so many drumlines use now. I think it has more projection and power. Yes, the sound is very clean.You should come to a practice or Summer Session to really hear JIRow. The videos of them blur the sound to much to do them justice.

rexpilot0990For reference, I am a percussionist. How your can your snare drummers play effectively with their drums that high and with such a steep angle? It looks like they barely touch the heads. Is the sound strong, clean? THANKS

James Swearingen is an accomplished composer, and often arranges for TBDBITL.He composed this warm up, and even though it's officially titled "Chorale/Perc. Warm-up/Tuning Chords", most anyone that knows exactly how many times Three Camps is played during a full ramp off the top of their head knows it as "Swearingen warm up".
