The marching band of any style has an essential
part called the drum line. Bugle corps, show
bands, corps bands, or drum, may be some marching
bands with drum lines. The drum line also
enhances the overall look of the marching
ensemble, apart from contributing to the sound of
show pieces. Depending on what style is wanted
for a particular show, the types and number of
drums in the drum line can be altered.   History  
At several different developing stages, such as
the integration of women in to its ranks have
been undergone by the marching band and the drum
line. The age of marching drum lines have been
brought about by the development of the boom of
drum and bugle corps in the 1970's. You can find
these now used in Marching Band music
Florida.   Types   Depending on the preference of
the director, the drum line, also called the
battery typically consists of bass drums,
marching snare drums, tenor drums, and sometimes
cymbals.

Pearl Quads   Size The size of the marching
ensemble as a whole determines the size of the
drum. A university band of four hundred players
may have a drum line with fifty or more members,
where as a high school band consisting of only
forty players may only have a drum line of
five.   Function The sound of the ensemble is
adding color by each piece of the drum line in a
marching band. The maintenance of a constant
beat, especially on the part of the snare drums,
is aided by each piece. To give the initial
starting tempo for a performance piece, a snare
player may also tap off for a measure.   Snare
Drums   Benefits There are numerous benefits of
including different types of drums in Marching
Band music and shows. Each instrumentalist is
able to add much to refine the music on the
field, since each various drum has its own
distinctive sound. Each drum can easily be heard
over the rest of the band. Thus, to cue them for
certain movements in the show, other members of
the ensemble are able to listen for certain drum
parts.
