This article is about marching hit patterns. For general hit patterns, see Drum beat. For single hits, see Drum stroke.
In music, a drum cadence is a work played exclusively by the percussion section of a modern marching band (see marching percussion), descended from early military marches, primarily as a purposefully emphasized means of providing a beat to marchers and often using patterned rhythmic drum strokes to produce a drum beat.
A drum cadence is, “'a drumline piece played in a parading marching band between or in place of full-band pieces'. Cadences, are also: 'a chant that is sung by military personnel while parading or marching'.”[1]
Marching percussion generally consists of at least snare drums, tenor drums, cymbals, and bass drums, and may include timpani.
