A drumline or drum line is a section of
percussion instruments usually played as part of a musical
marching ensemble Drumlines are usually incorporated into high
school or college marching bands, drum and bugle corps or drum
and lyre corps, indoor percussion ensembles, and pipe bands, but
also can exist independent of these ensembles.[2]
The term battery is used to refer to a specific part
of the drumline.The battery is the drum section
that marches on the field as a group. The battery usually
consists of snare drums, bass drums, tenor drums, and cymbals.[2]
Stationary percussion within a marching ensemble is called the front
ensemble or pit. This also describes the area where
those percussion instruments are set on the field.
