snarepaint Registered: 06/13/03	Most marching ensembles, especially schools, do not use rosewood because of exposure. There is some really nice synthetic stuff out there. _________________________ DCI, DCA, WGI, done it all in some form.

Mannineaux Registered: 03/16/07 Loc: Slidell, Louisiana	We use synthetic stuff. We couldn't afford real wood, and most marhcing bands use synthetic so that the wood doesn't get ruined. _________________________ Slidell High Drumline Freshman 06' - Tenors Freshman 07' - Snare (Mardi Gras) Sophomore 07' - Snare (Asst.

DrumerKruse Registered: 09/12/04 Loc: Colorado	i think they are great. when we tried to use the rosewood for blue knights they were so out of tune from the indoorline we went right back to the synthetics, just check out bk 2004 and see what you think. _________________________ THE MFBKB Kruse

psychobemaniboi blank Registered: 01/05/08	Our school for sure uses synthetic, but they're also incredibly cheap when it comes to percussion. It works for high school though...
