Hi The new high school Im going to only marches quint with the snare instead of the 14 inch and I am getting a quint for Christmas and I was wondering how hard is it to put the snare on?or if i should just get a tenor or a regular quint and not worry about it since it is for practice.

now explain to me what your talking about dude

I can't really answer your questions, but you might want to check out this thread about them.

isYo man i know what you're talkin about, with the snare on the tenor (probably in place of drum 4). my school did this and they had a pretty easy time getting it on, however i was not involved in this because Im a "bassist". Though if you're high school does this and you wanna make their line i think it would be a pretty good idea to practice like how you are gonna play. I know that there is a post on this, however i dont think its talking about how easy it is to put on. Look around for it, or i'll post it up here if i can find it. I'm pretty sure there are other people on here that have put snares on tenors, so they would probably know more than me. Also dude you need to work on sentence structure. It gets really annoying reading a run on sentence that never ends kinda like this one and you want to understand the point however its hard to do this because the sentence is just to long and you're to lazy to read it.


O wait nvm about me posting the thread, iswm posted it as i was typing this thing

are you talking a concert snare or a marching snare? either way just drill the holes in the shell so the rims line up with the rest of the drums and attach it using the spacer and the back bar just like the quad drum.

thanks and beaver creak high school is the one Im going to next year and i think there drums are yamaha or pearl Im not sure

Beaver Creek, eh? Yeah, we went up against them at two competitions. They placed second behind us at both I believe. Their drumline seemed pretty good and clean, for having about 6 guys playing those snenors/squads, but I don't think their music was as hard as ours. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the tenorsnares, but if you don't have a big drumline I guess it's a good alternative.

I wouldn't recommend doing it on your own personal set of tenors... it just seems like a waste to do that in my opinion.

why is it a waste? its not like its permanent

Personally, if I wanted something like that, I would just get the proper size Yamaha MTS retrofit kit and install it on the bottom tenor drum.
