The Oregon State Drumline is the rhythmic, beating heart of the OSUMB. In addition to all of the great music this section performs as part of the full band, the drumline has its own featured repertoire of cadences and grooves, additional Game Day performances, a samba band for OSU men's and women's soccer, community performance opportunities, and its own class during Spring Term.
The drumline typically fields 8-10 snares, 5-6 tenors, 6-7 basses, and 8-10 cymbals. Auditions are required for membership. If you have any questions about the drumline program or percussion opportunities at OSU, please feel free to contact us below.
Vamos Castores!
