our goal:
Traditionally, the marching bass drum is seen as an instrument for students who lack the technical ability to play an upper battery instrument. In programs with large, dedicated staffs, this isn’t an issue as a bass drummer is just as likely to get consistent instruction as any other member of the battery.
Unfortunately, for a majority of programs with smaller staffs, these beginning bass drummers tend to miss out on some of the most important parts of their musical education. This can stunt their potential growth as a musician, as well as reduce their excitement about the instrument.
BASS DRUM GROUP aims to provide a resource where younger bass drummers with little access to instruction can find accurate, easy-to-understand information that’ll get them on the roadmap to success sooner. We also show examples of the highest echelons of bass drumming in hopes of demonstrating the potential of the instrument and inspiring students to pick up their sticks and get practicing.
