"Who Took The Drum Out of Drum Corps?" by Ken Mazur (from RAMD Virtual Symposium 1997: Crossroads). See http://www.rudimentaldrumming.com/tips.html for Ken's lengthy (very) exposition of a lot of fascinating drum corps history.
The following clips are metaphors for what's happened to drum corps. We've gone from this (acoustic drums):
to this (not acoustic drums, not drums but electronic pick-ups attached to a drum head):
“Build it and they will drum.” Dedicated to research, study and comparisons of field drums. Our purpose is to collect information about historical U.S. drums (manufacture, preservation, conservancy, repair, market) for use by scholars, collectors and others. Photographs of drums, and anything related, together with informative narratives, are welcome. Interested readers will find archived postings a good resource. Reach us at emirsky@gmail.com.
