About Marching Percussion Accessories


You’re not still marching with chewed-up sticks and agonizing drum carriers, are you? Just ask any squad leader: nothing fires up a line quite like the excitement that new sticks, carriers, and practice tools can bring. Give your drumline or ensemble the edge this season; invest in the tools that’ll stretch those long hours on the field and in the practice halls even further.

Marching Accessory FAQs


What are some recommended field percussion accessories?


You never know what might happen out on the field. Sticks could drop. Heads could pull. Heck, a cold snap could blow all your bass drums out of tune. That’s why we at Sweetwater recommend every percussionist in your line have a tuning key, multi-tool, wet-weather cloth, and spare set of sticks/mallets on their person or drum at all times. As our seasoned percussionists like to say: “Two is one, and one is none.” Always have a backup to get you through a performance. And here’s a bonus tip: a hand warmer in each pocket can keep those fingers nice and limber during cold weather.


Speed key or torque key: which is right for me?


A speed key can be useful for swapping/seating heads and roughing in tunings. But when it comes to precision tuning, a high-torque key may be needed to get snares and quads to those upper registers. Are you looking for speed and torque in a single tool? Pair a cordless drill or an electric screwdriver with a drum key bit, and save your wrists for the performance.


What should I look for in a marching practice pad?


We live in a golden age of practice pads for marching and pit percussionists. Snare pads that sound and feel like real marching snares. Multi-surface tenor pads that fold for storage. Even quiet snap-on heads for your existing marching drums. Whatever your pleasure, you’ll find it all at Sweetwater.
