The quads, also known as tenor drums, are drumline instruments made up of 5 or 6 drums. Each of these drums is tuned to a different pitch, depending on the size of each drum. Quads use the differnetly tuned drums to add varied sounds to drumline excercises and music. Quads used a matched grip when playing.
Quad drummers can use STANDARD MARCHING STICKS OR SPECIAL MALLETS designed specifically for quads.
Quad drums can come in PEARL, YAMAHA, and DYNASTY brands.
