HASMB Tour Information for ALL PERCUSSIONISTS
HASMB DRUMLINE TOUR/EQUIPMENT INFO
As we near tour here is some information regarding packing and equipment/
instruments:
Battery (Snares/Tenors/Basses) - drums & carriers will be on loan in California. We
recommend bringing your own stick bags.
Toere - need to consolidate carrier by removing the toere from the carrier and folding
the bars towards the carrier to be as flat as possible. The carrier will be (1 of) your
carry on. Use an old pillow case as a cover/bag for the carrier to keep all of the parts
together. Pack the actual toere inside of your suitcase to check in. Use another old
pillow case to wrap the toere before putting it in your suitcase.
Cymbals need to be in a cymbal bag and checked in as a second piece of luggage (you
will be reimbursed for this second piece).
Snares/Tenors/Toere/Basses - please bring a relatively fresh pair of sticks on tour. You
will not have time or the opportunity to get new sticks on tour so don’t plan on doing
so. Also-the parade is ling and you need the pair to last the whole performance. We
also recommend bringing a spare pair for practice and to just have spare pair incase
something happens (like a break on the parade route).
If you would like to purchase sticks we will have the Vic Firth John Mapes Snare and
Tenor sticks avail at the next Oahu rehearsal for $12. For outer island members please
email hasmbdrums@gmail.com by Dec 17 and we will bring you a pair that you can pay
for when we get on tour.
Sticks need to be taped white before tour. Check this video on how to do so
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag4_U-HOcQQ
Sticks should be taped half-overlap to the fulcrum (to the/but not covering the flag on
Vic Firth sticks and same with the System Blue logo on ProMark sticks)
Pack your main sticks (and stick bags if you are bringing it) in your carry on. You don’t
want to have your main sticks in your luggage incase luggage is lost in transit. It is ok
to put your spare pair in your luggage.
Everyone needs to bring a drum key and extra stick tape incase a re-tape is needed.
When we get on tour we expect everyone to e responsible for their own equipment. No
one should be carrying or playing anyone else‘s drum. We also expect everyone to help
load/unload the equipment truck and also keeping the designated drum equipment
room neat and organized. Also we expect cases to be neatly organized during
rehearsals and performances.
Also while on tour, especially during free time-please be aware of your hands (and
feet). You need your hands to play in practices and performances.
HAVE FUN AND ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE!
