Marching percussion

Marching percussion involves playing drums and percussion instruments in a coordinated and precise manner as part of marching bands or drum corps. Performers carry instruments such as snare drums, bass drums, and cymbals while moving in synchronized formations. They use specific sticking patterns, rhythms, and dynamics to maintain consistency across the group, creating a powerful auditory and visual experience. The instruments are often mounted on harnesses or carriers, allowing players to move freely while performing. The goal is to seamlessly blend musical performance with marching movement, enhancing the overall impact of the ensemble during parades, competitions, and performances.
