WHAT? I just- what??? Holy sh- WHAT??? I'm blown away. A sword fight WHILE maintaining rhythm, the precision of the marching, the mesmerizing movements, and flippin' light-up drums?? Are you kidding me?? World, how are you so awesome??
This is probably the sickest drumline performances I have ever seen. This is coming from someone with a traditional style drumline background. AMAZING!!!
Top Secret are from Basel, and Basel has a very long tradition of drumming. I have no idea how many drummers the city has, but if you look at some videos of the Basel carnival (Basler Fasnacht), you will see that there are a lot of them. Actually in the Top Secret drumming school, kids concentrate on learning traditional Basel drumming before moving on to show drumming when they get older.
Tears of joy in my eyes...there's no feeling like playing in a drum section, marching in step to a cadence, or, on the football field, preforming during halftime... these guys make me smile ... :D
The competitions used to be carried in the US on public broadcasting and I loved to watch it each year. Now they don't do it any longer. I surely miss it and will check it out on YT. What a great performance. Thanks for sharing.
Moi qui suis un vieux batteur de jazz modern( disait on dans le temps) et bien ces gars sont tout simplement fabuleux et dire que des gens n'aiment pas ce qu'ils font ! Merci Secret Drum Corps vous êtes génial !
Unglaublich dieses Taktgefühl und die Perfektion, ganz großes Kino,danke für hochladen. Die Leute die diese Choreografien erfinden und umsetzten verdienen ein ebenso großes Lob. 5*****
@@charlesthemonkey5374 They have regular jobs they go to, so not quite. They started around grade School age at this drummers school in Basal, Switzerland where they all live and where there are a lot of drummers in the community.
I think the most amazing thing about the performance is the Battle Scene. They are playing, what is it? Rolls and rim shots? It takes a lot of time and effort to be able to do a roll that sounds clear with one hand and rim shots while you're swinging your sticks around like you're fighting for dear life. I've tried it and it isn't really easy, especially when you're running around with a huge drum around your torso. The part after that, where they pass the sticks, is also extremely impressive. It takes accuracy to even throw the thing in the right place, much less catch it and play in a split second and do tricks to control it. In my opinion, more people should see this than only 900,000. This takes a lot of integrity, determination, and confidence to do what these percussionists did at this performance.
I have also seen some performances where they dance around while drumming. Some with flaming drumsticks and some where one drumstick is also a flute. I still don't get enough of watching these young men. They have regular jobs so are not able to practice as much as most people think they do. They start at a very young age at this drummer school where they live and work their way up to this professional level. Most of the people in their town are drummers. Think about that.
Basimelia! Thanks for contributing this video to You Tube.Its a great show of talent and I really enjoyed watching it. It's the practice and hard work made this perfect.Super!!!
great memories. we've been there with the whole omanet-team. wel performing fasnacht-drummers remind me to that. strongly looking forward to next time!
(Spanish) Increíble la coordinación, sincronización, espectáculo, y el grandísimo esfuerzo que habrá detrás. Enhorabuena. Parece imposible llegar a tanta perfección...
Can I just say, that Britain gives away Knighthoods for people who win a cycle race. or win a round the world sailing event. THESE GUYS deserve a medal for their pure skill and endurance.
loved the video, not the best drum in use here, but hey I was raised on FFX pearls. enjoyed the show and please don't listen to people telling you to compare your group DCI. this a showcase and that's what you all did GREAT SHOW
Likely the most tasteful performance of the TSDC I seen yet. All the tricks and show stoppers as before but more musical. I’m told these are all professionals of other fields who do this pretty much on their own coin. Very impressive. And to think…it all began when the Baptists and Anabaptists went to war over religious differences and needed a mode of communication for the army tactics.
Yeah I first caught wind of this group back in 2008 and kept watching their videos. Then my cousin took me to see DCI West and I got to see the Blue Devils, Vanguard, and Phantom Regiment. I think it was the year PR won with Spartacus or something. Great show.
Not only did they have to memorize that, but they had to do that in sync AND memorize where to go, AND play in that fight seen, AND do stuff with their sticks. Too cool.

MrSouthernStyle I wish my schools drumline was this good
+April Henderson They cant be that bad usually highschool drumlines are pretty good
Justin Humble Mine are okay but these people are way better i might post a video of my schools drumline
Do it cause I wanna see em my drumline is okay only cause we have two seniors and me and we are veterans on the line
There aren't any proper words to describe just how absolutely fantastic that was.
I'VE NEVER SEEN A DRUM LINE AS GOOD AS THE TOP SECRET DRUM CORPS FIMMQ., AND THEY ARE AWESOME.

I was in the audience to see this performance-there is only one word to describe it. Superb!
And I remain in awe of the talent and discipline that the Secret Drum Corp display
That amazing echo from 12 snare drums in that hall is so killer!!
I live in Basel, the home of Top Secret, and had the chance to see them a couple a time, 2012 as well.
precision drumming at the highest level. went with my friend saw drum corps fantastic Edinburgh tattoo fantastic
Love you guys. The battles just get better and better. Sorry i don't speak German

Myself after 45 years of percussion. They win.... Best I've seen in my lifetime
I’m American and from what I’ve seen, this is the best drum line in the world. Holy smokes!
Love the sticking. And now I understand the 12 snares.
My first for ever seeing anything like this, just unbelievable, awesome, I could watch this for hours. Thanks for posting.

fantastic! I feel so privileged here in New York to see such a superb performance
4:30... drum stick on the ground on the left side. But dayum, that is an awesome drum line.
Yes, he did. Those missed shots made him try even harder for the game winners later ;)
könnt ich 100 mal ansehen, einfach weltklasse
I love these guys so much and the fact they only dropped 2 sticks? Damn incredible
Einfach nur großartig.
i watch this every year .....and every year they climb on a higher level .... this drumcorp is amazing maybe the best in the world
Perfektion, meinen Respekt!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Amazing... Thanks For the Post... Thank You UA-cam...
Hands down the absolute best drum corps out there.
I’m terms of entertainment, yes but in terms of quality and cleanliness, difficulty etc. No
Incredible performance.
OMG - They are Fantastic - love the boys of Top Secret
🤔 how impressive, even the drums light up, the swiss are so good at this.
how you can drop a stick and still be on the correct number on the beat when you start again is to me absolutely amazing.
perfektion pur mein respekt an alle trommler und fahnenträger
Absolut ,Ihr seid perfekt einmalige Darbietung mein Respekt 👌👍🏽Grüße aus Rostock.⚓️

Chapeau!!!!!!!
Great unit I've seen them perform before when my crew & I were in air tattoo 1986 RAF Fairford UK

I remember these doing the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, they were amazing!!
Precise just like a fine Swiss watch. AMAZING!!!
Funny that you mention Coats! I played bass 2 in 2010-2011! Great experience overall. :)
The first cadence always reminds me of freshman year at Alabama State University. Good times!
it wont let me like this more than once. I appreciate what they do, but are in no way shape or form the best.
I am speechless...sooo awsome
A fantastic performance.
Nice band🎉 i like your band i am sri lanka🇱🇰
THE MOST BEAUTIFULL SHOW
Not only did they have to memorize that, but they had to do that in sync AND memorize where to go, AND play in that fight seen, AND do stuff with their sticks. Too cool.
They didn’t see that 600 yrs ago! Wow they are Amazing!
