I have seen the commercial and I think it looks pretty lame. That is the kind
of thing that makes marching band look stupid. Maybe if they were marching
190+ and playing some cooler music, but.......they didn't do that.

I think it said Morris Hill or something like that. I really like the bell

The band that was used was the RCC (Riverside Communtiy College) Marching Band
from Riverside, CA. My best friend plays mello for them (and is in the
commercial). THe people that got "attacked" by the wolves were stunt people -
not actual band members.

It can't be any worse than when Mount Carmel did a snapple commercial and had
to play Born Free 9,000 times with Buddy love behind us singing his lounge
lizard lungs out. And for those of you who remember..."WE AT SNAP--PLE WANT TO
BEE NUM-BER THREEE!"

I saw that one last night. I don't know what to think, on one hand I thought
it was funny and permotes marching band. On the other hand, I think it
portrays band in a negative light and the band shouldn't have agreed to do the
commercial. however that's probobly because I'm in a crappy mood and thinking
to much, I doubt the commecial did any harm.
So where can I find a marching band arrangement of Celebrity Skin? :-)
Would you Morris Hills guys and girls be able to point out who's who in the
commercial?

Well, my opinions don't necessarily reflect what other's opinions are, and I
certainly don't speak for everyone, flame me if you want.

Oh boy, heh. Here we go. I can see a future of matched vs. traditional
grip disscussions.
OK here we go.
First of all let me explain the different grips to all of those non
drummers that have no clue what we are talking about
matched grip- Quite simply, matched grip is where you make your left
hand look like your right hand. (hence the name matched)
A pic of me using matched grip is here
http://geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Arena/2351/fugboa.jpg
The matched grip is used by many HS snare line such as Lassiter and Fort
Mill. Several Drum corps even use matched grip such as Les Etoiles and
Academie Musicale. Even SCV used matched grip for several years.
The advantage matched grip has is that it is easier to learn and easier
to clean then traditional grip.
Traditional grip- Traditional grip is harder to explain.If you want to
see what trad grip looks like look at this pic on my personal page.
http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Arena/2351/me.html
Trad grip is called traditional because it was used back when snare
drumming began. It was used back in confederate days, back in fife and
drum days in scotland, back in....well you get the point. Believe it or
not but at one time drum harnesses (drum carriers) did not exist. The
drums had to be carried by slings. Because of these slings the drum was
tilted in a direction. It felt akward to play the drums at this tilt in
a match grip so the drummers just moved their hand (left or right
dependeing on which way it slanted) upward into an akward looking
position and this is how the trad grip was born.
Around the 60's (Date may be earlier or later) the harness was created.
At first almost all bands/ Corps switched to matched grip b/c the drums
were now level. Many people felt akward having played trad grip their
whole life and having to switch and many people felt like they had to
keep the trad grip for traditional sake. In other words "my great
grandad played trad grip in the civil war, I just cant give it up
because of some new harness!"
A large number of HS, colleges, and corps use trad grip for the reason
mentioned above. The advantages of trad grip is that: It looks cooler
and it up holds the tradition of using that grip.
OK now my view on the whole deal.
Traditional grip does not take long to learn. It takes as long as it
took you to learn paradidles. All it takes is some serious practice. I
learned it in half a month. In truth learning different grips makes you
more or a percussionist then a drummer.
By far if a line is using matched grip their excuse should not be that
they do not know traditional grip. Thats like saying "We dont know how
to play paradidles". To which i say "Well then learn it!"
A good reason to use matched grip is that your snare line is young and
experienced and the parts just sound way to dirty with trad. For a line
to be clean you must have consistent hands. If your snare line is
inexperienced they may not habe the resorces to keep consistant hands in
a trad grip. It's alot easier with matched.
IMO matched grip should be used as a dead last resort but it does carry
plenty of merit in the marching percussion genre
Duh . . Did you notice there was a special decal on the drum? For MTV.
The ones who made the damn commercial. Everyone knocking the drill and
the music and the look needs to pull their heads outta their asses and
realize that the band did what they were told to to by the directors of
the commercial. Thank you for your time

That's hilarious...it really is.
Congrats to your band, and Mike Sopko! Hills has had a great band for a
loooong time. I judged them throughout the 80's and Mike always does a great
job with them.

Oh btw, just a question to any MHHS people out there, do your snare players
always double grip like that, or was that just something MTV wanted?
Curious on how effective that is.
