This is the opening movement from Carolina Crown's 2021 show. It's easier music as far as DCI is concerned, and short, so figured it was a good challenge for me to learn.
Corps/drumlines mostly switched to matched grip in the '70/80s with the changeover from slings to 'carriers'. In addition to keeping the snares stable, they were kept level, which lent itself to matched grip.But to be completely accurate, you should be playing traditional grip.
Maybe there was a brief transition back then, but I don't know of a single corps today that marches matched grip. Even in the 90s when I marched, every DCI corps was traditional. Sure, sometimes a snare line will switch over to matched for visual effect, but 99% of the time its traditional grip.Nice, precise, and tight!

Nice syncopation of videos! Very consistent with your stick height and rhythm dude!This is the opening movement from Carolina Crown's 2021 show. It's easier music as far as DCI is concerned, and short, so figured it was a good challenge for me to learn.
cool...how many different toques do you own?
Very cool video, made me think of this Thomas Lang video on his specific thoughts on trad vs match. I recall his switch but wasn’t aware of his surgery
