I mean a few a song are ok, but if you feel the need to place a visual in two beats of rest then you have an addiction. Somebody please explain it!!
lol, well i am on the cymbal line at my school for adla . and i think the visual thing is just to and alittle extra to the show you know!

ps i dont think cymbals get the right amount of respect either, people jump to conclusions assuming they suck and stuff and thats not true..!!! i love playing cymbals!!

I havent seen or been in a line with disrespect to the cyms. Our cymbals, last year, got loads of respect.. Cymbals, are usually the hardest working, physicaly it can be tough marching a 10 min show with some 20' Zil-heavys. I give loads of respect to them. As for visuals, thats THE cymbal thing, look at SCV for instance, nuff said. 8-)
