What is the style of drumming like in a competitive pipe band?
One way to explain the style of pipe band drumming in competition is that it is a combination of rudimental drumming (technique oriented) and big band or jazz drumming (feel oriented). Several other styles of drumming influence pipe bands today, but this sums it up well. Pipe band drumming focuses on techniques and execution of rudiments, ensemble unity, and rhythmic interpretation or feel.
