Old 1812 is a standard tune played by many ancient fife and drum corps and reenactors alike.

You can't stare at the drum when you're lookign out for musket fire! I was a child on the war field, I'd crap myself. Let alone, pay a flamique

Thanks for your comments everyone! To answer your question Forgemen ... the reason I stare down at my drum, is the same reason Buddy Rich stared at his snare drum when he played a solo, Dave Brubeck stares at his hands on the keys, Jaco Pastorius at his fingers when he played his bass, or Jimmy Page on his guitar. Blessings, MB

You can play, that's for sure. I don't understand why you constantly stare down at your drum though.

Nicely done, wouldn't mind seeing the fife/piccolo player onscreen but you're focus here is on the drums. I really prefer this over the plastic skins/coldness of the current rudimental/drum corps type stuff.
