First off, Hello, I'm ThatWyomingKid, I'm the brass section leader for a band in Wyoming (duh) I've been putting together a performance that involves the popular move "suicide" but alas I've looked high and low for the correct (or more rather, proper) Drum line cadence to back the event. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww2a1f5JTmg
The cadence that is featured in this video is the type that I'm looking for. I've ran out of resources to hunt down such a cadence, and hope that I can find a solution here at these forums. Any help that can be given would be appreciated!
-Thanks, Thatwyomingkid

I actually know several graduated members of this drumline, and the head tech at this high school is a pretty close friend of mine.

He may be willing to give out the arrangement/composition, but I somewhat doubt it, at least not for free. If you'd like for me to get any purchasing information from him, I can do that.

However, I would suggest just taking the initiative of writing your own. If you write your own fast-paced groove with a lot of emphasis on the downbeats, then you can easily form it into a cadence to do suicides to. Yeah, I understand you're not a percussionist, but there's nothing wrong with expanding your horizons and learning how to, or ask one of your percussionists to do it, even.

By the way, asking for music on this forum is typically frowned upon, just a heads up.
Happy (brass) suicides!

EDIT:
You know, now that I mention it, after watching the video a second time, I realized that I was actually there while it was recorded. You can see some of the other Georgia State University drumline members in the back wearing their shirts and then the ridiculous blue hats. Anywho, not that any of this was relevant, I just thought I'd throw it out there.

DOUBLE EDIT LIKE A FREAKING NINJA:

After doing some more research, I've come to find out that this isn't an original cadence by the friend that teaches over at Roswell, but is actually pretty well-known. Do some searching on CSU's site, you might find something useful there.

Thank you for the info. I hope I did not come off as asking for music, that was (or would) never be my intentions.

On the side of writing my own, I have studied and practiced writing for percussion in the past, my only fear is writing something that is impossible or does not contain good balance of difficulty across the Drumline. Would these forums be a good place to get critique for something like that?

I looked on CSU's site and any thing to be given out from that site is on the (locked) student side of it. I'm not even sure I would be able to find that cadence anyway, as the last time that they performed it was in 2008.

Thank you for the help!
