Drumline: the heartbeat of the outdoor performing ensemble.
Drumlines are typically made up of four different instruments. These are the snare drum, the tenor drums (sometimes called quads or quints), bass drums, and cymbals.
Snare drums are the timekeepers of the drumline and marching band. Often snare lines consist of an odd number of performers so that there can be a "center snare" performer who is the individual responsible for keeping tempo.
Tenor drums are tonal drums mounted together as a set. The provide pitch change to the drumline with drums of differing sizes and tuning. Tenor drums usually play in unison with one another.
Bass drums are mostly played tonally and the number of performers may vary. Most bass lines have split parts unique to each performer that form a cohesive line of music. They produce a deep sound when played together and provide a sense of melody when played separately.
Cymbals played in drumlines are usually pairs of crash symbals. Performers may use the same size cymbals or a variety of sizes. They play unison and individual parts. Cymbals add impact to the ensemble both musically and visually.
