Thinking of giving it a whirl?
I am curious as to what you guys think about this. I have been studying hand drums (congas, djembe, etc) for the past 3 or 4 years, have been learning to read music, and generally been making what I consider to be good progress. I am a bit familiar with the concepts of drum rudiments, but only as I have adapted them to hand drumming.
Well, today while I was waiting for my drum lesson, I saw a flyer on the board for a local bagpipe and drum corp and it really piqued my interest. They described it as a non-competition, all age bracket corp.
The last time I did any kind of marching band was back in jr. high where I played some snare, but mostly bass drum and a lot of "auxilary" percussion. (I am 43, so this was like eons ago!)
My question is, given my background would it be overly difficult to pick up a scottish drum corp drum? Also, would you recommend snare, bass, or tenors? How would you recommend getting started?
Thanks!
