that is were a leg support was attached, combined with a shoulder strap the drum would move with you as you marched,

I have a couple your welcome to one just for shipping charges. mike

Mike: Thanks for your time and the info provided. I appreciate it! So, there were "marchers" that didn't have snare wires attached to them?

correct, they were called tenors,

Thanks. So, technically speaking, the drum I have is a Ludwig "tenor" drum?

i'm no expert, tenors were just drums that didn,t make it to being snares !!

they came as singles, 3s,4s drums as yours came with a sling and leg rest, sets came with a full harness.

you can check them out on web or E-bay

I played a tenor one fall in high school, although ours were Slingys with a blue and red striped wrap. There would also be a clip between one tension rod and the rim to attach the strap. We even used felt mallets, which was pretty old school even in 1980. But our band director was ancient.

By the time the spring parade rolled around, I had been promoted to a set of three Roto-Toms. I'm not sure anyone could hear me above the rest of the band......

Was just like KungFuGrip as a freshman on the drum line. Everyone started on Tenor drum and bass drum. But then again that was 1972. Had to prove yourself to play snare
