Re: [DTXpress] Drum Line Question

2004-09-08 by Stephanie Ellison

My son is in the first year of marching band drum line. He has had a 
DTXpress for over a year now.He loves both activities, it would be neat 
if there were some way to carry the DTX and the Peavey amp. Anyway I am 
wondering if there is a way to set up or use a subset of the DTX to 
practice for drum line. Any ideas? 


How big is that amp?  It's very important to know how big that is, as I may have
an iddea for you.  I played the snare line the first two years in high school,
and then switched from that to bass guitar, which I was more interested in at
the time.

I played a Fender Jazz Bass and went through this 800-watt stack that was around
5 feet tall.  It had a cabinet with 12- or 15-inch speakers with an amp head on
top.  For marching in parades or on the field, it had to be mounted on a
three-wheel dolly with inflatable tires that allowed the amp to recline back so
to lessen the danger of falling over.  It also had a DC converter rack and a car
battery rack for that equipment.  It also took a big guy to push the amp around
and keep up with my marching or movement in formations on the field.

I'm not sure what you mean by using the subset of the brain for drum line
practice.  What exactly is needed?
