U.S.M.A. Band Percussionists Inspired by Legendary Rudimental Drummer Marty Hurley On Friday March 14, 2008, Rudimental Drumming Legend Marty Hurley provided a master-class, clinic and coaching session for the Hellcat drummers and Concert Band Percussionists. Mr. Hurley is famous for his long tenure with the Phantom Regiment Drum & Bugle Corps of Rockford Ill as well as a highly sought after clinician and judge. Mr. Hurley and Staff Sgt. Jeff Prosperie instructed Phantom together for several years in the early 1990's. The session included valuable information about the evolution of modern rudimental techniques from the 1950's to the present; thus, bridging the gap from ancient drum and fife to contemporary marching percussion. One of this year's drum solos in the Hellcat show is entitled "Bridging The Gap" by Staff Sgt. Prosperie and draws upon many of the same influences Mr. Hurley discussed in his sessions. All unit drummers concluded the day with a massive snare drum line performing with Mr. Hurley on West Point cadences used in Reviews.
