Percussion


Today, I am going to talk to you about the percussion or another name " Battery" in Marching band. First is the most well known instrument, the Snare drum. In one of my previous blog post I told you why the snare was different from a regular snare drum. I will tell you again, it is more of like a gun shot noise, which also means it rings much less, there are strap like things under the drum that are tight.Next is the Bass drum. the bass drum is the bass of the noise especially the one in the pic. the bigger the drum head the deeper the noise will be. Then finally the Tenor drums or the quads. This drum can be most important because it is just like a snare drum but only different sounds because different sizes.
