Man I remember learning this when I was 15 and everybody in my high school like "Buck no way you learned that and can actually play it" it is true lol. To bad nobody wanted to audition for Blue Devils cuz I always wanted to be one. But happy with my time at SCV
you'd be very surprised how much the 94 and 95 guys studied and learnt from the previous 3 years SCV. Red or Blue both were great around the 90's
17:12 you’re a great teacher, i needed to know this thank you
pleasure, thanks for watching
Helped me work out a few kinks from when I learned this back in high school. I can officially say I truly know it 100% now. Thank you! I'd really love to see you break down Blue Devils Grievous Groove snare part some day.
I was intimidated by this piece for YEARS, but this made it much easier to learn. I feel exceptionally accomplished this week, as this was my mini-goal. 💪🏼🥁
Do you have a Patreon account for your channel?
Little known fact, this ending is actually the third version from that season. Originally was the ‘82 opener ending, second was played at Concord pavilion but wasn’t played fast enough for Kevin’s liking so he wrote the one that everyone knows that was played all summer.
crazy to think it could never have been! When did you learn the new ending after pavilion? on tour?
@@FreestyleRudiments Sometime between Pavilion and Memorial Day camp.
Cool. Thanks for the effort and for sharing your talents.
thanks Dennis, like wise, keep up the good work!
Thanks Bro 🙏🏼
Thanks for the video. I have it learned and almost clean! 🤙🏼💪🏼
awesome job! thanks
Excellent break down and teaching techniques!
Thanks
Im an 8th grader and I got most of this down and mastered the rudiments, its just some of the transitions that really gets me lmao.
Trying to learn this at 54😃… past mello player , never played snare - so it’s gonna take me a long time
Never too old. Get it down really slow. Even if feels crazy slow. Once you can rep it, you will naturally develop the speed.
I've really waited for it!!
its finally here!
Kevin Murray the 87 snare champ wrote the ditty. Good guy.
yea he was snare tech when I marched in 95. Great guy
hey quick question do you ever plan on making a tutorial on how to play the ditty 08?
Can't wait to play along after work
Part 2 is uploading... BIG files so takes a while. enjoy!
@@FreestyleRudiments I will thank you
What is your practice pad.?Great lesson!
Learning this at 16, its so fun to play
Haha, same!
Thanks teacher very very good, i now how stuying ditty, have a concept new greetings from mexico city teacher bravo
Thanks, enjoy!
Classic
certainly is!
Omg this is good, n dude love your patient n easy approach. Could you poss break down the Ditoeight Remix as well? Thx so much.
maybe in the future, thou Im not "feeling" that one as much tbh
I think you are missing first group of diddles in the 15/16 bar @8:30
Thank you so much for these videos!! It helps me so much to play along with someone
yes thought i was trippin
yes I am not sure how I played it like that lol but I play it wrong when breaking down. Its ok in the rest though
@@kchow117 same i was like hold on let me out it on .5 and make sure I'm not going crazy
Phew I don’t know how many time I rewound it
yeah I thought I was trippin' too:)
Could you do blue devils 2017 snare break?
Ok.. Im sure someone has already noticed this but... He aint playin whats written at cir 8:30, right?
8:27 he plays something different from what is written, he moves the accent to the "and" of beat 2, so he basically cuts out the last 2 diddles on beat 2
well spotted Logan, shame I cant fix that now.
Hey mate I really like the videos. I taught in England, with the Mayflower. I teched for Gerald. I marched back in the 80's Suncoast Sound we had Brits in the corps. I really like the videos. haven't played ditty for a while you do a great job, if you can't play it slow you can't play it fast. DO SPANKS I think you would do a great job at it.
Hi Anthony, thanks for the comments. I know Gerald well known guy and did a lot of work in uk pushing forward the activity and i competed against Mayflower back in the 90's.
What sticks do you use?
Normally mike jackson or roger carters
sampled in death grips - hacker
damn , yeah .
thanks
Might dust of the sticks and have a crack !
20:48
0:35 left hand not going past vert....CUT!!!

The third line is hard what's it called flam?
Yes

progress is progress no matter what speed.... just pause learn and then move forward
