@@coIbyjmmusic that doesn't answer his question though. To answer this guy's question, It's because bass 3 was chosen to be section leader that year. The section leader isn't always bass 2, It just so happens to be with high school lines that the best person is usually the oldest and therefore able to split well, and that's why they're on bass 2 instead of anything else. In this hypothetical bassline I'm talking about and really with all high school basslines in general, The 2nd bass is section leader and 2nd bass for different reasons. Watch Mandarins 2018 bassline and you'll see that bass 4 was the section leader that year.
@@jacobruiz97 Not necessarily. Listening to the lot it sounds like Ike wrote equally hard parts for 2 and 3. The hardest part is just usually bass 2 because they have the highest pitch and are able to play upbeat splits that sound good when between 1 & 2. This bassline had 6 members so the sound balance was probably thrown off a bit with the harder splits being able to be played not only between 1 and 2 but between 2 and 3 as well. A 6 man bassline creates less of a difference in tone between each bass because you got an extra guy on there so you have to balance out the tuning of the basses. In short, no. Bass 2 and 3 in my opinion had equally hard parts throughout that year's show. **Edit** Bass 2 doesn't have the highest pitch in the bassline, but it has the highest pitch out of the basses that can split singles on the upbeat and stuff like that
In a perfect world, every hs would have 5 basses because thats the best number for a good amount of notes to be written for that section. The choices for Snare and Tenor lines is up to the tech and the BD but you're right 6 is one too many. I think Rhythm X marched 7 basses in 2014. Not exactly sure.

Bass splits are so clean and mid bass just killing it with the visuals lol
I like how these bass drums have actual bass and has that vibration feel
I can't stand an "over muffled" bass drum
with a subwoofer. dude its amazing
2 words, Very Smooth. That's how splits should be. Love this group!
best highschool baseline line I've ever seen
bass* lol
Lol my phone auto corrects everything I type
Have you seen chino hills
Christian Galvan 3 years ago chill
Probably one of my favorite bass lot videos. And that's including infinity and stuff like that
These kids are all ready to be in DCI.
The reactions of the two kids sitting down are hilarious to watch
3:07 the dissapointment is so relatable.
Back when ayala's basses were actually clean
When were they not clean?
I love how full it sound
that bass captain is hot as frick (no homo)
very impressive, good work!
That suicide stick was crazy xD then those splits are awesome glad to watch them in real life!
Check out this years bass book...... !!!!!!!!!!!
beautiful
Thanks
Which one of these kids marched Bluedevils
does third bass usually count off?
solitude they have 6 basses, it might be a bit weird for bass 3 to tap off
In this case, yes, since he was the section leader. But in a standard 5-man bassline, it's almost always bass 2 that counts off.
It's six of them??🙃
Why my mans at bass 4 look like he has depression lmao
Does anyone know who writes their bass book?
Ike Jackson writes the whole battery book.
lol bass 5 messed up a little at 3:09 and bass 4 looked at him like really nigga
i would keep my tama bass drum
why is 3 tapping off

@@Mikey-og4my So in this case, was Bass 3 the hardest part, since the hardest part is usually allocated to the section leader?

i love how unnecessary the sixth bass sounds, no need

+DaXXPuniSHeR It was 2015
+Robbie Lyons thanks man
Hello there is a reason that we march 6 Bass Drums as its our preference. Some schools choose to have 5 and we like to have 6
