WOWHere's a short drum salute by Blair Brown:
You can search the Internet for Alex Duthart, who is credited with revolutionizing pipe band snare drumming. He was born in 1925 so he was around for the switch from calfskin to plastic heads.But my question remains, what was the playing style like before plastic heads? I’ve wondered that for years.
Of course the drum can sound quite different depending on mic placement. In this video the camera seems lower than the drum, so you may be hearing more of the bottom head than the top.Please get rid of the counter top heads and get something more pipe band sounding.

Wow, drumhead prejudice! This is interestingNothing played on Kevlar is music. You can display athletic skill on a Kevlar head, but that’s it. It’s not music, nor meant to be.

I just spent $60 on my last Kevlar head. I want my money back! And I thought I was making music! I am so naive.Nothing played on Kevlar is music. You can display athletic skill on a Kevlar head, but that’s it. It’s not music, nor meant to be.
That's called trad grip. It born out of necessity when marching drums were slung a bit slanted (left higher than right, so the left hand will be awkward playing in matched grip), and get carried on with marching and jazz drummers.Something I've always wondered: Is there a particular reason all the pipe band drummers seem to dribble the left hand stick with their thumb (instead of the fingers)?
