Do brass players make better Drum Majors than woodwinds or percussion?

I wouldn't say there is a lot of difference. Most differences come from the individual people, not the type of instrument they play. Though I'll say that, save two, all of our past ten drum majors have been woodwind players. Guess that just says that our band is mostly woodwinds. It's been that way the whole time I've been in band. Though the past few years it's been extremely skewed; only about 2 in 7 people were brass players the last 3 years.
And our percussion could never make drum major. The only one we've had in the past five years was the year I joined as a freshman (I'm a graduate now), and she wasn't in the same stereotype as our current drumline (they're a bunch of troublemakers, all six of them)

it's not the instrument you play that matters, but i've only been directed by woodwinds. i think no drummers are cuz the experienced ones really need to be with their section and tubas aren't all that common, so they prolly all need to be playing. i think that it just happens to be woodwinds a lot because there are so many of us that we don't necessarily have to be playing to be heard. i mean, flutes and clarinets are the biggest sections in a lot of bands.
