Why not best overall drum solo?
I which case, Madison 95...true in-your-face Madison drumming
otherwise (sorry, but the more recent shows, especially 95 for some reason,
really stick in my mind...)
Snare: Cavies 95
Bass: Glassmen 95
Tenors: BD 95
I guess I just really liked the shows that year

It seems to me (I've thought it for a while), that the general consensus
is that BD has the best tenor line. They have been really consistently
outstanding as of late. I saw them live and practically peed in my pants.
I think it might be something else beside the obvious skill. It might be
their intensity, might be there music is kicking, or it might be something
else. What do you all think?

Snare: SCV 90, Regiment 93 (really the only snare solos I can think of) or
Cadets 93 (but not from an execution standpoint)
Bass: Cadets 95
Quads: QB 93, 94, 95 and (94 being the coolest)
Crossmen seem to be more of full ensemble drumline to me, rather than
individual breaks.

I would definately have to agree with Shane... "Crossmen seem to be a
more ensemble drumline then a sectional drumline" (or something to that
effect). Being a member of the '96 Crossmen percussion ensemble, he is
absolutely right. I also agree with his choices of sectional solos also.

This is a tough decision. You could go with "clean" solos, or you could go
with the "good writng" solo.
Tenors- 90 BD, 7 tenors 2nd song. Not difficult, but very clean for 7 guys
and it was a GREAT sound quality.
Cadets of BC get one for 93. Not tickless but they sure were on the move
playing those sweeps with the crossovers, a definate breakthrough in tenor
drumming.
Best tenor line ever has to go to the 96 Devils. In my opinion,those 4
guys should reside on Mt. Olympus. Incredible stick heights and incredible
sound quality!
Snares-92 Madison gets my cleanliness award. But SCV 90 had the musical
snare solo I've heard in a while.
Best snare line ever, Star 93. Not many can realize it, but they were
probably one of the most versitile snare lines ever.
Basses- there are a bunch! 90 BD during the second song. Its just them
ramming some runs while the sopranos plays the melody. Same with 93 SCV,
one hilacious bass run all by themselves with some horns playing. 93 Star
is probabably the best technical Bass line I've ever heard though. The
split rolls are so even you could think one guy was playing a Huge set of
tenors!
Coolest drum feature- 92 Crossmen
cleanest drum feature- 91 Cavies (hard decision)
best drumline ever- 96 Devils
My opinions may vary from yours, but these are mine. There isn't enough
room to be able to list every solo or lick or feature from every year that
I love because I am a fan and There isn't much that I don't like.
