Trying out for Quads?

Question

In about 6 months I am trying out for a school drumline and I want to try out for quads. I know I've asked this before I just want as much information as I can get. Should I get a set of quads or a quads drum pad thing or what? I have my rudiments basically memorized. Is there any more I can do? I do not have the music yet so is there something I can practice like a book or something that can help me improve?

Answer 1

i would get a tenor drum pad. the one with 6 would help more than the ones with 4 pads, i think. i don't even know how to purchase the real thing unless it's used from another high school or drum corps. as for the music, i'd look at the sites of different drum corps and see if they have any related links. or you can look at their audition material and see if you can print that from your computer.
