<p>68.55.225.216: </p> <hr /> <div>A '''drumline''' is a group of [[percussion]]ists who play a variety of [[marching percussion]] instruments. A drumline may be an incorporated section of a [[marching band]], a [[drum and bugle corps]], or a pep band, but also can exist independent of these larger ensembles. [[Indoor percussion ensemble]]s serve as the most common outlet for stand-alone drumline performance.<br /> <br /> Most drumlines can be divided into two sections; the ''battery'' and ''[[front ensemble]]''. However, the term ''drumline'' is mostly used to refer to just the battery.<br /> <br /> The instrument members of the ''battery'' (also as ''batterie'') typically include, but are not limited to, marching [[snare drum]]s, marching [[bass drum]]s (commonly consisting of multiple drums with different pitches), marching [[tenor drum]]s (commonly as mounted sets of 3-6 drums), and [[crash cymbals]]. The snares, tenors, and basses are designed to be carried by the player through the use of a harness. Crash cymbals can be carried, but do not require a harness. The mobility of the battery members allow them to play while moving in a marching oriented ensemble.<br /> <br /> The ''front ensemble'' (also as ''pit'' or ''frontline'') can include any [[percussion]] instrument. This wide selection of instruments allows for the front ensemble to produce the greatest [[timbre]] variety in a marching ensemble. Front ensemble instruments are typically stationary during performance and are therefore not bound to the limitations of being mounted to the player.<br /> <br /> Also a movie: ''Drumline''.<br /> <br /> {{music-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[de:Drumline]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Musical groups]]<br /> [[Category:Percussion ensembles]]</div>
