Be sure to visit the Vic Firth website to see their excellent feature on our own MSU Drumline. You can also visit the drumline webpage at http://www.msu.edu/~drumline/.
The 2011 MSU Drumline consists of 10 snares, 5 tenors, 7 basses, and 10 cymbals. The MSU Compline (a cooperative effort between the MSU College of Music percussion studio and the MSU Drumline) performs at competitions, clinics, and exhibitions around the United States. The MSU Drumline has performed clinics and participated in outreach throughout Michigan as well as host their own Day of Percussion in East Lansing. The MSU Drumline has been playing The Series, a four-minute series of cadences written by Joel Leach and Merritt Lutz in the 1950’s and early 1960’s, in its present form since the 1964 season.
