Is it true that Santa Clara VanGuard drumline (snares or course) switched to mat

Question:

Is it true that Santa Clara VanGuard drumline (snares or course) switched to match?!?! and if so when?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: yes, it's true. They did it for just the 2005 season and they also tilted their drums rediculously forward. The drums were very low. It only lasted a year and now it's back to flat and traditional grip.
