      ODU has half as many snares, no stick tricks, nowhere near the level of stick height coordination and drums that aren’t tuned as crisply. What you are hearing is effectively the unison of drums tuned to a definite pitch creating overtones

Yes they look a lot nicer and definitely please the crowd better, but they’re just not as clean as odu. At the end of the day, odu is supposed to SOUND good with a band while ts is meant to LOOK good. Both do those things very well. And tf are you talking about “snares aren’t tuned as crisply”. TS snares were FAT and DRY and ODU’s were tight asf and wet. Someone doesn’t know wtf they’re talking about.

    The Top Secret Drumline looks very slick. I've been watching them for years. The white sticks against black uniforms is awesome, and they make a very traditional uniform look awesome. However, they are more "showy" than clean. I wish I could come across one video of the TSD where they are cleaner than who they "battle". We could say it's a culture thing, but if you are going to battle American drumlines, DCI and college level, you've got to be cleaner.
    ODU played very well, and they are obviously trained well. It's just a shame those UGLY uniforms take so much of the focus away. I played snare in my university drumline back in the day, so I get tradition uniforms, but COME ON. Those are hideous. They all look like they're wearing high-waters with the pants so high above the shoes like a 1980s nerd. Plus, the white section of the jacket completely drowns out seeing the snares' and tenors' stick movements.
    The TSD "won" because of politics, a fan favorite. They are known around the world. ODU clearly out played them when it came to difficulty of notes and clarity. (Basically, real drumming). Heck, the "President's Own" U.S. Marine Corps Drum and Bugle Corps drumline plays WAY cleaner than the TSD.
    I know this is all in fun. It would be a blast to drum on a battleship deck!
