If you didn't play tenors, what would you play

Snare.

Why, bass, of course.

Finger cymbals...oh yeah! No seriously, I would play snare.

definitely bass, and nothin' else.

Baseball

I would be playing snare because I like the fact that it is awsome like that

Bass for sure. I can do snare, but once you try tonal you never want anything else

Snare because that was what I originally wanted to play

Bass in case my trad grip stinks (which it does)

Cymbals if I don't make the bassline
...then gong and concert bass if I don't make those! haha

That's a tough choice for me. I wanted to play snare when I first got into drumline, but my traditional wasn't very good then and isn't now either. Realistically, I'd probably play bass and that'd be just fine with me. But sometimes I wish that I could have the experience of being one of the glory boys, even if just once...

Bass, 'cuz our Bassline is sick, and I would love to experience what goes on in the mind of a Bass Drummer while playing 32nd six-tuplets double paradiddled.

Bass, because it is the closest thing to tenors i guess....and when I hear a really awesome bass run, it gives me chills

Go Bassline! lol I suck with trad. grip. So bass sounds a whole lot funner for me!

bass all the way

snare. nothing more to say

FLUTE!!!!! No actually Snare b/c i've marched that before.

Wow...Thats a hard choice. Bass would be my choice if it were an awesome bass line doing crazy runs and stuff. But if not...Snare.

I would have to say snare because i practice both techniques of playing. I was never on bass so i don't know how it feels to play bass.

Trumpet they are real cool and everyone likes to listen trumpets just like people like to listen to tenors. They always say wow or that was cool.

actually before i came to the valley i was gonna play the tuba when i lived in austin. but when i started school down here i got a little lost and ended up in the drum room and now the rest is history.
sam.

there's more than tenors? CRAP!! i guess i would play snare. for some reason my flams and double strokes are always cleaner on snare.

marimba or bass

a condescending camel...or tuba

Snare. I even asked my instructor if I could make the switch, but as I expected, I was declined. Mainly because next year I'll be the only experienced tenor player left, whereas we now have plenty of experienced snares.

Maybe I'd try my hands at front ensemble, too.

Consider yourself lucky, I would gladly be in your position. I made the mistake of tell my director that I could play snare if he wanted me to but i prefer staying on tenors. I prefer tenors over anything else, don't know why but I think it's because I'm able to do more technical things, such as cossovers, playing multiple drums, and having fast hands. I switched to snare this year and i took me forever to finally go to the snare sticks out position. I always ended up going to the Tenors because it was natural for me.

I would play bass drum. There's something about different pitched drums. Plus, i didn't make the tenor line at drum corps so they asked me to consider the bass line.

i would march a giant set of tenors made from basses with cymbals mounted on them and snare mechanisms on the bottom...I WIN

i would march these beasts

I would play trumpet they get all the love just like the tenors

I would play snare for sure!!! Thats my second favorit drum other than tenors.

Trumpet!? Trumpet!? They don't get the love. You must never have hung around the mellophone lines in DCI

Sweet runs, beautiful harmonies, the best parts in the ballad, the hardest drill, and some of the sexier ladies . . . why wouldn't you want to be a mellophone?

I would definitely be playing snare. That is what i played before i picked up the tenors. I have always liked both snare and tenors pretty evenly but i get tired of just the one sound made by snare. its all about variety for me.

Wow, looks like I'm in the vast minority... mallets!
