    What tenor features should I do for part 2?

    • @avenreed1477
      @avenreed1477 Рік тому +5

      Do a top 10 snare feature

      Another super good tenor feature is from the 2019 Cadets during their "Do Better" segment

      @CaptainKylan Рік тому +1

      The opening tenor feature to RCC 2010
      The three mallet tenor feature from RCC 2011
      The closer feature from Rhythm X 2009
      The feature in Blue Devils 2014
      The Dartmouth HS 2012 Every-member-plays-tenor feature (might even be appropriate to dress up as a chicken for that one)
      Broken City 2018 ?Pre-closer? feature (I don't know, the one what which they play on the 4 drum and such)
      Phantom Regiment 2010
      SCV 2019
      Bluecoats 2013
      Bluecoats 2015

    I was on the NSU tenor line that year you are insane for learning that bro we big fans 💯🙏🏽

    @rimenuir910 Рік тому +75

    The NSU one is insane because it was a one and done solo. They spend countless hours prepping for their band season (more so than the PWIs) during the summer and also during the actual season. These dudes could crank and they were doing it in the band battle against NCAT (Cold Steel) and absolutely stomped them. This was also the event that they debuted their system blue drums. Being in Norfolk at the time, it rocked the drum community out there showing that the NSU line was the top in the nation.

    Your editing on the 2000 Cadets tenor feature is incredible. I watched the entire thing, then had to rewind because I realized that it shouldn't be possible...
    The way you pass behind your own back is seamless.

    I don’t know if EMC is being sarcastic or totally serious when he says, “I don’t know if I can play this one guys” after watching every solo. Either way those chops are insane!

    We had a lot of influence from UNT in Madison Scouts in 1991 when I marched. Jeff Moore and Dan Neimeyer were both alumns. There were parts from the 96 solo we played in 91. Much respect for those folks still to this day! I kind of feel like the old guy yelling "Back in My day"...

    • @oturamun7820
      @oturamun7820 Рік тому

      I marched the 93 UNT Pasic Tenor line with Dan, Mike Duffy, Quiyan Murphy and Robert Anderson. Similar Tenor that year but 96 was next level. Shouts to Anooj Thacker who's probably the main reason the 96 joint goes down in history. The speeeeeeeeeeed.

    2000 Cadets has always been my favorite show. It holds a special place for me as it was my freshman year and I was on the snare line and just loved the idea and power of drum corp and it’s high level of skill and musicianship. I’ve played the poor quality video of this show to almost all peers and then students of mine so they know what Drumline can and should be all about.

    That Cadets feature from 2000 inspired the Jacksonville State University Marching Southerners' 2012 quad break during the drum solo. They played a strikingly similar part.
    I was JSU Q' 2016, but never realized that's where '12's break came from.

    Fun fact about that Cadets 05 feature - the sixth bar, count three, the scrape on the inverted puhduhduh is 3 - 4 of the guy next to you, and then the accent on that is on the drum 3 of the guy next to you.
    That’s right. They had a cross-set scrape. I promise you, if you look at it, it’s real. I had the privilege of studying from someone on the 05 Cadets quad line and had this confirmed.
    This also makes Cadets 05 the second Cadets quads feature to require three sets of quads to play correctly, after Cadets 2000. I think there might be some flams missing from the 2000 feature too ngl, transcriptions fault not the players fault
