Our competitively priced collection of marching snares, tenors, cymbals, and carriers can help give your pit and drumline the edge this competition season.

In addition to the gear you want, Sweetwater has the marching percussion accessories your ensemble needs. We make it easy to stock up on marching sticks and mallets for winter drumline to summer percussion camp.

Shopping for cases and heads? We’ve got those, too — even in specialty sizes to fit your 6” gock drums and outfit your 18–32” bass drum splits.

Marching Snare Drums

From our entry-level Yamaha Power-Lites to our elite line of Pearl Championship CarbonCore snares, you’ll find the marching snares to give you drumline the edge here at Sweetwater.

Marching Bass Drums

What would a show or parade be with the “glue” of a marching bass drum line holding everything together! Searching for a matching set of new marching bass drums? Our collection includes TAMA Fieldstar to Mapex Quantum Mark II to outfit your entire line.

Marching Quads

If there’s any drummer on the field who deserves the utmost in comfort and relief, it’s your marching quads (or marching quints) player. Whether you’re in the market for a set of sexes from the Mapex California Cut collection or quads from Yamaha Field-Corps lineup, Sweetwater has you covered. Just don’t forget to invest in a premium stand or carrier!

Marching Drumsticks and Marching Drumheads

If it’s better tone and performance you’re after, don’t neglect your drumline’s marching sticks and marching heads. These are, after all, where the rubber meets the road for many drumlines. Investing in a few sets of Vic Firth Corpsmaster sticks or Remo Black Max heads can spell the difference between in a good season and a winning one.

Marching Practice Pads

If you’ve got a line who’s practicing double-digit hours every week, give them the tools they need to make those woodshedding hours count. The 14” Ahead S-Hoop Marching Pad is a great option for snare players; its carbon-fiber playing surface and internal snare cartridge give this pad a lifelike sound and resistance at a much quieter decibel output than a marching snare. For quad/tenor practice, the Vic Firth Heavy Hitter Quadropad remains one of our best sellers for players who looking to sharpen their runs, windmills, and butterflies.
