UMass-ish is a beginner-friendly cadence inspired by the iconic UMass Drumline cadence.
It mirrors the structure and feel of the original while staying accessible for early high school players.
The Edu Pack gives you the full score, parts, and synced play-along videos.
Players hear the pacing, style, and groove before they learn the notes.
The cadence sits at a steady 116 bpm and focuses on feel, clarity, and fundamental control.
It includes the classic sequence of Intro, Exercise 8, Double Beat, Check Patterns, Monkey Beats, and a tag ending.
Every section is simple, teachable, and built on proven UMass material.
This cadence teaches groove, timing, and ensemble discipline without overwhelming beginners.
Use the Edu Pack to help your drumline experience one of the most influential battery styles in modern marching percussion.
