Drumline – Getting Started (Tap-Off, Marking Time, Sticks Out-Sticks In)
This is just a basic breakdown for getting started with a young drumline, or just going back to basics to make sure the proper techniques are in place.
Tap-Off
We begin drumline exercises with a tap-off, usually played by the center snare, which sets the tempo for the exercise. The tap-off is usually played as follows: One musician plays two measures of eighth notes(normally on one hand) For the first measure beat 1 and beat 3 are accented, in measure two the accents are played on 1 2 3&4&.
Marking Time
As for marking time…You will mark time starting on your left foot on beat 1 in measure two of the tap-off. There are two ways to do this…
A: The entire foot comes off of the ground flat, and returns flat.
or
B: Just the heel comes off of the ground and then back down.
Sticks Out-Sticks In
Bring the sticks out sharply on beat 3 of the second measure of the tap-off. Bring the sticks back in sharply on beat 2 at the end of playing. If you are looping a part and give four taps in between, just leave your sticks out for that.

Yale Precision Marching Band $81.25 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Yale Precision Marching Band (affectionately known as the YPMB) is the official marching band of Yale University. It is a scatter band (what some peers might call a scramble band ), as distinct from university marching bands that emphasize precise movements and geometric field formations. Band members refer to themselves as The Members of, which is derived from their introduction at Yale events. The repertoire of the YPMB is constantly evolving, driven by student arrangers and pop music trends. Besides standard types of band instruments, the YPMB includes violins, bagpipes, accordions, keyboards and air guitars, and was the first scatter band to incorporate electric guitars. The YPMBs Squids section creates large cardboard props for halftime shows. The Squids evolved from the Appoges (pronounced p od z, after appoggiatura, a grace note) of the 1980s and 1990s, who handled props but also carried their own instruments (frisbees, stuffed giraffes, lounge chairs).
