SCV Battery Auditions

Get your drumline geared up for the season with this impressive DVD. Murray Gusseck (Santa Clara Vanguard battery caption head) and Leo Sanchez (cymbal instructor) collectively provide nearly three hours of video lessons in large, full-resolution video, covering topics such as technique, sound production, timing, tips on auditioning, practicing, and more!  Watch and learn as Murray demonstrates the core principles of his unique technique program at "SCV" that apply to the snare, tenor, and bass sections. These demonstrations are done mainly on the snare drum but apply in large part to all three drum sections of the battery. He also supplies tips on auditioning, practicing, and the gear that "SCV" uses. Leo Sanchez demonstrates the basic crash techniques and common sounds used by "SCV's" world-famous cymbal line. Crashes such as the Flat crash, Port crash, Orchestral crash, and crash chokes are outlined, as well as sounds like sizzles, zings, dings, taps, crunches, and more. Leo also discusses cymbal line requirements.
