In Tune Monthly, a publication for young musicians, featured a section in its March 2018 issue devoted to activities in the marching arts.

While discussing the gear side things, the article quotes Tom Float of TAMA, leading-edge innovators in field percussion, on the development of instruments and accessories optimized for marching performance, especially in light of developing trends in school and competitive programs. Also mentioned are the role that bell-front brass design plays in bringing professional-quality sound to the field.

“…judging by the advancement of recent years, marching instruments will continue to evolve along with the music ‘There are so many different groups out there today,’ Float concludes. ‘From the indoor groups in WGI to DCI to groups taking part in Percussion Arts Society programs, Bands of America, the big parade bands, DrumLine Battle and many different local circuits.’”

Kanstul has a heritage of innovation in the development of modern marching brass, and is proud to build the TAMA by Kanstul line, exclusively distributed in the USA by TAMA.
