This could fit under the History subforum too, but its music so I put it hear.  I wish drumming corps would resume the use of vellum (calfskin) drumheads instead of the current plastic or steel, the modern replacements simply do not provide the deep thundering sounds characteristic of drums in the past (in this case heard in the Grenadiers March, the first song played).
