Music Featuring Marching PercussionMusic

[BubbleBelly542]

I would really like to know if any of you know of songs that use marching percussion. Preferably I would like to know rock songs, but any genre is great.

By marching percussion, I mean a marching snare, pitched bass drums (generally 5), or tenor drums. If you don't know what these sound like message me or search YouTube.

Thank you.

Examples:

That's pretty cool but it isn't marching percussion. That is a concert snare.

Might not hurt to post an example of what you're looking for instead of telling us to search for it or tell terminator he's wrong.

Oh, this brings up a good point thank you.

That is not a marching snare. A marching snare has a much crisper sound, but that to me sounds like an electronic sample. Most electronic music uses synthesized snare that sounds like a marching snare. It is quite hard to tell, I guess it seems simple to me because I'm around them all the time.

I appreciate your contribution though, thank you.

Ah right, i must say i don't know much about this stuff
to me it sounds a bit more like a sample from some old movie or something like that, it has that kind of 'old' power and punch, has a bit of tom-like sound too i think, but you're the one who knows i guess

A marching snare has a ping sound to it. I love marching snares especially in a closed.area like the band room our school has. It is really big and the noise just vibrates all throughout the room.

Does this count? Fleetwood Mac performing "Don't Stop" with the USC Marching Band.

Or this one featuring the JI Row of the OSU Marching Band ?

JI Row ? ...
This clip focuses on the percussion section known as JI-Row (I-Row is the snare drum row, and J-Row consists of the the bass, quads, and cymbals). The first two members down the ramp (I-1 & I-12) are known as lead-outs. I-1 (on the left facing the ramp) is the assistant squad leader of I-Row. I-12 (on the right) is selected from the top snare drum candidates during a special lead-out drill competition on the final day of band tryouts prior to the beginning of the season. The squad leader marches in the I-6 position. I-Row and J-Row, like all other rows, have 12 regular marching members. In addition, I-Row has two alternate snare drummers, and J-Row has one alternate for each of the three types of instruments in the row.

Hope this helps. The Reggae bang are called The Aggrovators vocals by Johnny Clarke

I have always found the drum beat in this to be rather marching band esque for about the first 45 seconds and in the other parts of the song outside of the chorus.


Also this to some extent but not quite so much as the snare is much more sparse and it is more the bass that fits to what I expect from a marching band.


The following have certain elements but may not be quite as close fitting, its up to interpretation.

These are all very good songs. Also, you are right, they do sound like something that would be played in a marching setting, especially a pipe band. But those are blue marching snares. Thanks though! They are very good songs.

Ahh my ear isn't quite good enough to be able to tell the difference for percussion really especially with not being entirely sure about the different categories. Should have asked my sister

It really is tough of you aren't around it everyday. I'm just used to it because I've been in marching band and winter drum line, and I'm always around it.
