quite a few, troop did it, and if your directors are making fun of the troopers, they need to be smacked.

There have been A lot of corps that like to do that visuals. They step out with one foot, bend their knees and come back up.

just to let you guys know, being a drummer, he meant to hit the rims, it's part of the effect. It changes it up a bit.

If I'm visualizing what you're talking about right, the Rhythm X, RCC and a ton of top level WGI groups did this constantly last season. Dunno about DCI though.

Its just body work. Its all over the indoor percussion scene. Recently Blue Devils exploited the crap out of it and threw it into their tap roll feature a couple of years ago and people raved about how cool it was...when its all been done before (especially by the BD's indoor progr- I mean...RCC drumline :p). Oh well, whats new to DCI...is still new.

Anyway, go watch some WGI clips if you want to get some more ideas on how far body work can go.

I believe the Cav's are doing it with their tenor line this year, while playing on the person next to you's drum.
