Earlier this year, I sat down with the folks from FloMarching to discuss all sorts of things as they pertain to percussion, Tapspace, composition, Virtual Drumline, drum corps, and even trying to stay balanced in a chaotic world. They’ve been putting together some of the footage and have started rolling out some of this content to pro subscribers to FloSports.
If you’re a subscriber, I hope you’ll check these features out. It was a lot of fun!

As I put the finishing touches on my percussion ensemble, Windows of the Maloca, I've done a screen capture of the score playback. All sounds are being generated from the Virtual Drumline sample library, and the score is engraved in Sibelius notation software.
This piece is written for an advanced ensemble of 14 players and lasts roughly 5.5 minutes. The score will be available via Tapspace in the next few days.

Virtual Drumline sounds quite realistic out of the box, but with some sequencing trickery, you can make it sound even more so. A few months ago, we wrote an article about Humanizing Playback in a Sequencing Application. If you haven’t read that, be sure to check it out. This trick is going to rely on you knowing those skills!
In this article, I'm going to show you how doubling or tripling a track using different patches can bring more life to that part. The best part is, it’s really easy! For the sake of illustration, we'll focus on four measures of a marching snare line track in Logic Pro.
