  Battery Percussion Crab Marching & Drills
Sep 3, 2009
crab marchingBattery Percussionists can do all of the drills that I have mentioned so far, but also require some special drills that are specific to the issues surrounding carrying their equipment.  Sometimes they march like the winds, other times they crab march, and still other times there are special angles of the feet.  They are almost NEVER asked to do more than 6 to 5, so including them in these exercises is essentially pointless.  Stop sign drill is a great drill to teach the battery how to use all of these techniques.
