HMS Collingwood Cadet Drum Corp...Hello All
I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know that the Collingwood Cadets are forming a drum corp which I will be running. It has taken just under a year to get funding for this and we now have some drums on order
I think the members of the Cadets would love to come and watch you guys practice one night, in particular if the drummers ever do a line up for practice (I am sure I have seen you out on the parade ground in the past) and don't mind some guest watching for some inspiration then please let me know?
I would also be interested to know what snare drum you drummers are using? For the Cadets we have had to go with a budget junior drum each due to cost, I am also personally looking for a drum to help teach the cadets and would prefer a full size drum. Have been looking at the various premier drums, (97, 97s 1049S etc) but would like to know what is being used and is it worth paying the extra for top snare?
My drumming experience is that of a rock band with a full drum kit, so this is a new exciting venture for me with the Cadets, any hints and tips from you drummers most welcome
Many Thanks, Paul.

If one does a beat retreat, does that mean you get further away with each note played?

Thanks for that info, what time are you playing? The Cadets (some who will be in the drum corps) are actually doing the Lantern Guard for that event I believe.

Commences at 2000 on the lawn (not awn!) behind the wardroom.

Arghh, that's a shame, the Cadets are doing the lantern guard much earlier than that (6:30 I believe) while people arrive and then all get picked up (from macdonalds - after being fed  ) at 8 to 8.15 so probably too late to re-arrange this time round.
If they are not too late leaving I will try and get back over, failing that
I will try for when you next practice on the parade ground one Monday evening.
Thanks

Apologies about spelling in earlier post, must have been new nails and nothing to do with alcohol in any way
