My point exactly.

If, arguably, the finest brass band percussionist in the world can get
by with 3 parts and a bit of simple planning why can't the rest of us?

The publishers have us by the b***s anyway - imagine what sort of
increases they'd put on the price of a band set if it contained 8 or 10
percussion parts rather than the usual 2 or 3?
