I've been playing drums for a while now in a traditional rock band setup, but I've recently become interested in marching percussion. I'm curious about the best way to transition from a standard drum kit to a marching drum set, especially focusing on technique and equipment.
What are some key differences in playing style between a drum kit and a marching drum that I should be aware of? Are there specific exercises or drills that could help ease this transition? Also, can anyone recommend beginner-friendly marching drum models or brands that offer good quality without breaking the bank?
Looking forward to any advice or shared experiences on this topic!
