Talk:Tenor drum

Redundant information?

The following text seemed to be redundant considering the rest of the article. Would someone care to reintegrate it? Upholder 06:59, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Tenor drums are large drums which are held up by by a sling. So that the drum does not rub against your leg there is a pad that goes on you leg. Tenor drums are most commonly used in Pipes and Drums Bands where they play with snare drummers, pipers and a base drummer.

To direct the band whilst marching there is also a drum major who tells the band when to do a right or left turn, when to countermarch and when to stop, he also tells them what song to play.

Tenor drumming is a form of drumming where sticks with a large soft end are span around in the air. This is called flourishing and there are amny different types or ways that you can flourish. Some of the different flourishes are the piano, butterfly, cartwheel and doubles.

To use a tenor drum you must first be able to hold it properly. Once you have done this you must learn what all the different flourishes are and try to do them. To play a song like scotland the brave or scots wha hae you must first learn the tune then try and flourish to it.

If you would like to know more about tenor drumming or pipes and drums go to google and type in The Scots College then search the website until you find the pipes and drums band.

Main photo

Does anyone else think the main photo is a bit too processed? It's got lens flares and all sorts of things on it - I'll see if I can find / take a better photo.

Found a better photo already uploaded to Wiki, replaced it. Mr Bound 00:48, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I like the Cavaliers picture, but I think it would be nice to show a picture where you can see the spock drums, especially if it is going to be labeled as showing the 6 drum configuration. Nathan Wonnacott (talk) 02:00, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Main Picture

I've seen beforehand that the picture of the tenor player featured on this page and on the page labeled "Drumline" was from Virginia University. I looked up if it was such, and found that it was not. So, in further research, I'd found that he is actually from University of Virginia, and I edited it as such. However, I came back to both pages to find that he was labeled as a member of the Cavalier Drum and Bugle Corps. Although I wish that were true, I know just by looking at him that he's not from the Cavaliers, as they have green uniforms, and custom made shells on their drums. They are also from Rosemont, Illinois, so there wouldn't be any reason for the uniform to have a "V" on it.

If we want to add a picture of this year's Cavalier tenor line, that would make a nice contribution to the page, as they featured upside-down players. But my point is that the tenor player currently featured is a member of the University of Virginia Marching band, and none other.
