Can a drummer explain to me the difference between playing on a tilted drum as opposed to playing on a non tilted one.

It dates back to history where marching bands and drum corps used to tilt their snares. In addition, it makes more sense if the drum is tilted if you're using the traditional grip.

With tilted drums, it makes traditional drumming more relaxed since you don't have to lower your left hand or raise your right hand up to your drum.

Jim's idea is ultimate relaxation, which will help out the Cavies a lot considering the stuff he wrote for them. Ridiculous.

agreed.

 

------EDIT------

 

however, i wouldn't want to tilt the drums at my high school because it's not completely nessecary. more and more high schools start doing it and it becomes un-unique. just like match grip, but im not going to get into that.

i think as a corps its fine though.

If you're gonna tilt the drums, you gotta play like the 2000-2004 SCV. That's what it was resurrcted for. The ultra-aggressive, ultra relaxed plying style. That's why I don't like BK too much. Their drums are tilted too much in my opinion.

 

( for those other DCI nerds who know bout SCV, yes thay did tilt the drums in 1998, but they still plyed goofy back then.)

Cavies are playing like SCV. The drums even sound like SCV now. Cavies used to be like Machines (pun not intended) but now the percussion sections is very flowing.

 

I like BK's line... thought they were underscored last season.

Blue Knights have been underrated for years...In 2002, I thought they had one of the best dlines in DCI.

 

Until last year, Crossmen's drumline was awesome, but they just sucked last year.
