I have tried to figure out what my favorite instrument is but I don't think I could even narrow it down to just one. The drums compliment each other so well(when the music is written by an experienced musician). The high pitch and fast playing of the snare drum, the various sounds that come from the medium voice tenor drums and the deep voice of the bass drums that sweep up and down the line making you feel the music with the vibrations caused by the low pitch of the drums.
As for the other instruments other than the drumline, its also a close battle between all of the instruments. The deeper voice of the marimba with the high pitch of the xylophone with all of the accessories that can create an awesome atmosphere and mood for the listener make listening to the front ensemble of marching percussion wonderful. Here is an example of all of the keyboards along with several accessories and a few drums playing.

I love this piece, I keep going back and listening to it over and over, I can't get enough of it.
