Drum Tech Class is held from January through April and is intended for anyone who is auditioning for this coming year's Michigan Drumline. University students may receive credit. Incoming Freshman (current High School Seniors) may attend as often as you want, but are encouraged to be here as much as possible. You should also have applied to U of M and either have been accepted, or are waiting to hear back.
- Drum Tech meets Monday nights at Revelli Hall from 7:30pm-9:30pm. Click here for directions.
- You should plan to bring a drum pad, sticks/mallets, your technique packet (if you have already received one) in a three ring binder, and a pencil.
- If you are planning to attend, please contact instructor Chuck Ricotta to be put on the class email list.
If you plan to audition for the drumline this year, please do consider attending Drum Tech. It is only to your benefit! In recent years, the focus of Drum Tech has shifted towards laying out the basic technique used by the line, and those who attend become considerably more qualified to be a member. If you are an incoming freshman, you may begin coming to Drum Tech at any point during the term.
