A '''drumline''' or '''drum line''' is a section of [[percussion instrument]]s usually played as part of a musical marching ensemble.<ref>{{cite news |title=Drum Bum Glossary|url = http://store.drumbum.com/drums/drums-glossary.htm |publisher = Drum Bum |accessdate = 2007-11-30 }}</ref> Drumlines are usually incorporated into high school or college [[marching band]]s, [[drum and bugle corps]] or [[drum and lyre corps]], [[indoor percussion ensemble]]s, and [[pipe band]]s, but also can exist independent of these ensembles.<ref name="Marching Dictionary">{{cite news |title=Marching Dictionary|url = http://www.onlinedrummajor.com/gloss.html#Anchor%20b |publisher = Drum Major Resource Center |accessdate = 2007-12-05 }}</ref>  The term '''battery''' is used to refer to a specific part of the '''drumline'''. The '''battery''' is the drum section that marches on the field as a group. The battery usually consists of snare drums, bass drums, tenor drums, and cymbals.<ref name="Marching Dictionary" /> Stationary percussion within a marching ensemble is called the ''[[front ensemble]]'' or ''pit''.<ref name="Marching Dictionary" /> This also describes the area where those percussion instruments are set on the field.

Drumlines typically consist of marching [[snare drum]]s, [[tenor drum]]s, (also known as Quads, Quints, or Quint Toms) [[Bass drum#Marching bass drums|bass drums]], and – less universally – [[cymbal]]s.<ref name="Marching Dictionary" /> In the past, marching [[timpani]] were common before the adoption of the front ensemble, as were marching keyboard percussion instruments such as [[glockenspiel]]s and [[xylophone]]s. A relatively small number of bands, mostly at the college level, continue to field such traditional marching keyboard instruments, however most bands have phased out their use.  Marching [[steelpan]]s are rarely part of drumlines due to issues with volume and durability, and are typically used in large ensembles with only steelpans. In modern marching band and drum corps snares, tenors, bass drums, and sometimes cymbals march on the field and are generally referred to as the battery, while the pit, or front ensemble, is stationary in the front of the field.  In other cases though, the pit may be in the back or behind the band because the band may be too small to have it in the front of the band or the director or Drum major has directed the front ensemble to do so.

Marching [[snare drum]]s have high tension heads typically made of [[Kevlar]] or [[PET film (biaxially oriented)|PET film]]. In the past, snares were typically carried with slings, and due to the discomfort of this angle for the left hand, [[traditional grip]] was created. Most modern snare drums have rigid over-the-shoulder harnesses that hold the drum with the playing surface parallel to the ground,

which affords the option of performing with matched grip, Matched grip is called what it is because both of the hands are in the same position (matched). However there are many groups that are returning to a slight tilt in order to make using [[traditional grip]] more comfortable for the players.<ref>{{cite book |last=Casella |first=Jim |title=Green Beats 06-07|year=2006|publisher=Tapspace Publications LLC and The Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps|pages=12–13}}</ref>

Snare parts are typically unison and provide the center rhythm of the drumline. The snare drum line is the center of tempo in the ensemble, and the "center snare", a position typically held by the most experienced snare drummer, is responsible for maintaining the tempo. When rehearsing or performing, the center snare may "tap off" the ensemble, setting the tempo with a solo rhythm.

Contemporary [[tenor drum]]s (also called toms, tri-toms, quads, quints, squints, or sextets) are single-headed tonal drums. There are usually four to six drums in a set, but there can be as few as one or as many as seven. Tenor players add pitch variety to the drumline with drums of different sizes and tuning. Tenor players use [[matched grip]], and generally play with mallets with plastic disc-shaped heads, though traditional drumsticks and softer mallets are commonly used to achieve different [[timbre]]s.<ref>{{cite book |last=Casella |first=Jim |title=Green Beats 06-07|year=2006|publisher=Tapspace Publications LLC and The Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps|pages=12–13}}</ref> Tenor drummers typically play in unison. Recently, multiple percussion programs have experimented with "split" parts, meaning that the parts are not in unison. Some examples include Rhythm X's quad feature from 2007, The Cavaliers' quad features from 2000 and 2008, The Reading Buccaneers puff mallet solo from 2008, and many others.

Marching [[cymbal]]s are typically pairs of [[crash cymbal]]s played in a variety of ways. Cymbals are [[bronze]] with leather carrying straps. Players in cymbal lines may all carry the same size and type of cymbal, or a variety of instruments may be used. Cymbals are played being held before the body, in unison or split parts. In addition to being played by the cymbalists, snare drummers may play on the cymbals as [[ride cymbal]]s or like [[hi-hat]]s, thus there is typically a minimum of one cymbalist for every two snare drummers. Cymbals are also used for visual effects due to their reflectiveness while twirling or spinning them. Many contemporary field ensembles do not utilize a cymbal line, as cymbals are played in the front ensemble.

Marching bass drums are most frequently used as tonal drums split between several percussionists. Each drummer plays a unique part, though the entire bass drum part is conceived as a whole. Marching bass drums, which produce the deepest sound in the battery, are larger drums carried on harnesses with the heads facing the front and back sidelines. The musicians carrying the bass drums typically line up in size order. Bass drummers use mallets with rounded or cylindrical heads often made of hard [[felt]]. Small bass drum lines typically consist of four or five members to ensure enough for a melody, and large lines can have eight or more drummersSometimes, in smaller bands, one may see only 2 or 3 bass drummers perform, when this happens, sometimes a bass drummer is required to play 2 or 3 bass drum parts to ensure full soundIn very small bands, one may only see one bass drum witch takes the place of 3 to 4 bass drums.

4. Demonstrate ability to keep in step with the drum corps by taking part in at least one outreach program. (ex. Pathfinder Day, Conference or Local church sponsored event)

Songs that are marches are written in either 2/4, or more commonly, 4/4 time. When marching to such a song, the left foot leads and always hits the ground on an odd beat, while the right foot hits the ground on an even beat. Count the beats in your head as you march, "1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4" etc. The left foot touches the ground on each 1 and 3. The right foot touches on each 2 and 4. If you find you are out of step, a quick hop (where the feet do not cross one another) can quickly get you back into step. But staying in step is a lot easier than getting back in step once you're out, so pay attention!

The outreach program will be something like a parade in which your drum corps marches. This will call for a class A uniform, so make sure it is clean and pressed!

5. What is the difference between drum carriers and drum straps? Demonstrate with drum equipment in a formation.

6. What are the seven essential rudiments? Why are they essential?

1. Single Stroke Roll
2. Multiple Bounce Roll
3. Double Stroke Open Roll
4. Five Stroke Roll
5. Single Paradiddle
6. Flam
7. Drag

7. What is the difference between playing open vs. closed?

8. Using the open/closed method, demonstrate your knowledge of the seven essential rudiments. Execute: Open to Closed to Open

9. What is the difference between traditional style and matched style stick holding? Demonstrate each style by playing a sequence consisting of no less than three rudiments.

10. What is the difference between drumsticks used for a drum corps and those used for a percussion drum set?

11. What are the sections that make up a drum corps?

There are four primary sections that make up a drum corp/drumline. They are as follows: Cymbal Section, Snare Line, Tenor Line(including Tri/Quads/Quints), and the Bass Line.

Note: Some drum corps/drumlines may opt to use a multi-tenor setup instead of having a single tenor, but they would still fall under the tenor line catergory.

12. Based on the previous question, what purpose does each section serve?

13. Show the various types of protective devices used to secure drum corps equipment.

14. What are the various types and sizes of drumsticks used for a drum corps?

15. Know what tools and equipment used for drum practice sessions.
