[Church Drummer]

The drummer from the big band I'm in (I play trombone there) invited me down to a group that he has, mostly old drumcorp drummers that don't want to or can't march anymore, that gets together and works on rudimental pieces (mostly to keep their chops in shape) and they do one contest a year mostly for the trip. So I get there to play bass drum with them, and I was really surprised by how tough these rudimental bass drum parts can be. I'm pleasantly surprised and learning a lot. Going to be a while before I work my way up to snare.

If you think they're good, my new drum instructor at my High School is Joe Carver, look him up. He was in the Cadets from 2001-2003, and they were national champs in '03. Thats bass drum rudiments for you. He played A-Hole. A-Hole plays snare drum parts =]

Do you have a link I tired google and found him mentioned briefly on the DCI page, an article about him playing at the Eastman School in 2005, with some other Cadets alumni.

I'll try to find a link. I don't have one at the moment, but there should be videos of him on YouTube or something. I'll find one give me a few days.
