Which option lists the breakaways for one through four drums in order?

• A. 1, 1, 2, 3
• B. 1, 2, 3, 1
• C. 1, 1, 3, 2
• D. 1, 3, 2, 1

Answer: (C)

Breakaways determine how far each drum steps off from the main line as they depart, and the goal is a clean, safe staggered exit with proper spacing. For four drums, using small breaks for the first two keeps them close to the formation so the departure starts smoothly. The third drum uses the largest break to move out fully and avoid crossing paths with the others, giving it enough room to settle on its own line. The fourth drum then uses a medium break to finish the spacing behind the others without crowding them. This combination—first drum with a small break, second drum with a small break, third drum with the largest break, fourth drum with a middle break—creates a balanced, non-crowded breakaway sequence.
