@theCultureShockband Their caption head and percussion arranger for the past two years, and for this coming year has been/is Tom Aungst. He used to work with the Cadets. He's very good at it. I love the sound of the 2010 and 2011 Blue Stars drumline.
@SuperSquatch1 interesting! and did you notice how this book is written very similar to this years book. its just the style of writing. who is there instructor?
@theCultureShockband Having lower drums and playing through the head usually gives a better look and feel. From experience, it's much more comfortable.
It's not really offending that you're pointing out the flaws of another group, it's more demonstrating your own immaturity. You learn that when you march
@antonio006 Yupp, Tom Aungst clearly has no clue how to write for a drumline and doesn't seem to have any success... have you seen their show? the break fits in very well with the music and the theme of the show.
Fantini on snareline at 0.21. Marched bluecoats and rhythm x. Absolute monster.
And next to Travis Peterman, might we add!
And next to AO
Its a good thing you caught this. Now they can go back in time 3 years ago and play it cleanly
these guys are playing with so much velocity that I had to double check to make sure my viewer wasn't playing it at 1.5x or 2x faster.
Looks like Allentown....
Tom Aungst writing is so easily recognizable... tasty beats and always pushing the tempo.
No ones got the balls to tune snares like this anymore. No hiding with these things Reefed to the max
0:32
Those ghost notes.
That shouldn't even be possible... o.o
God I love the sound of those hybrid mallets
Good god those snares sound delicious

@antonio006 this line got 5th in quarters. this book is not overwritten for this line. it sounds like ur mad, want to talk about it?
this line reminds me of one of the high schools in my area in how they play. EVERYTHING UP AND LOUD AS FUUUUUUU........
@whsquads
yeah with lewis there from the bluecoats 2008 line he well put this guys way deep into the elite 12
Yes, that Justin Lewis. You can see him teching for them during the '11 year.
Tasty indeed. I really dig the one-handed 8th note quintuplets!
Ghost notes at :35 SO sick!
Is it just me or are the snares lower than tenors (height wise)...
This is sick. Completely deserving to beat vanguard.
Should have been in the top 5 if you ask me.
Im a tenor player but if I were to join dci or a college line i'll try out for bass
Well done! A little fuzzy at parts, but nicely done! Not a easy book! Good writing as well!
What is it that they're using mounted on the snare drums?
why are their drums so low? its as if they are playing through the drum not at the drum. anyone else see that?
what are those things attached to the snares?
@SuperSquatch1 interesting! and did you notice how this book is written very similar to this years book. its just the style of writing. who is there instructor?
Holy shit.. Good job blue stars. That was tasty. But why does the center snare play so damn hard? Look at the beads when he's tapping off.
where did they get those remo sound projectors?????? i want one sooooo bad
what brand of drums are these?
This is HELLA late, my bad...but do you mean Bluecoats '08 Justin Lewis?
Doesnt Paul Rennick tech this line? Or did he stop? I know my Drum instructor is now, but idk how different it is
what drums are they using?
does anyone know if they are going to put those snares up for sale? or if they already have?
Did you make it?
@whsquads is he center again in '11? or did he finally age out? lol
@theCultureShockband Having lower drums and playing through the head usually gives a better look and feel. From experience, it's much more comfortable.
Yeah I learned that about 3 weeks ago. Who is their tech?
Here are the lyrics to the notes right after the count off:
TEN-DO-NI-TUS I CAN.. FEEL IT!
@whsquads I thought Tom Aungst took over in 2010.
@whsquads I believe he's still the arranger. One of my friends just auditioned for tenors for 2012.
@whsquads Regardless, I agree. Justin Lewis is staff there, and he's pretty badass.
Holy ghost notes batman! 0:33
@SuperSquatch1 that would explain the 2 kids from Dartmouth marching there
I didn't know Jake Gyllenhaal played snare drum..
Yeah Travis! I see you grooving out.
@clarkferry yeah he's still arranger, I auditioned there as well this year.
it almost grooves there for a second...
are those mapex drums
Can you say singles?
@beatifier the way his beads look is more from just being relaxed and not stopping the stick...and also being a boss..lol
Can anyone hook me up with the music for this?
What are the mounts on the snares???
They appear to be ribbon crashers
That's awesome. I remember seeing you at the camp. You were the guy with that nice binder right? Lol.
idk what it is but the drums sound really thin
almost like a birch shell
at :18 secs. look at the eyes of the quad player closest to you. He gives the camera an evil death stare. SCARY!!!!!
I wish they would've standardized one technique in the snares. I see a lot of different left hand grips going on.
The snare section leader was one of my teachers at MFA.
this is goood
That's my friend Travis Nestor. He's got great moobs ;) hahahaha
@beatifier That's just the technique that Tom Aungst brought with him when he came to Blue Stars
i didn't know the casey affleck's brother in the oceans movies was center snare for blue stars
Cleeeaaaan
@GRenzi14 his user name is whsQUADS. yah know?
0:42 PINKY, KEEP THE PINKY ON THE STICK
Nice! Love the fakes at 0:35. :-)
@beatifier he's feeling what he's playing. that's what happens when you feel what you play
@BenGaut so its like his fourth year at center.
damn
yessirrr. I'll be the black one lol
Actually, I've beaten the blue stars in drums. I marched BAC Top Bass 06, 07, and 2010.
And by the way, please don't criticize drum corps until you're good enough to play in them or old enough (13 doesn't count).
since we're all on the topic YANNO? THERE I SAID IT
practice and discipline
Somebody please transcribe the quad part, im too lazy.. haha
those snares sound so sexy
Wow. Fucking awesome.
It's not really offending that you're pointing out the flaws of another group, it's more demonstrating your own immaturity. You learn that when you march
HA! The end snare just won drums.
It's their technique.
Man those tenors are high up...
sweet ghosting at :33
When they "miss the drum" it's supposed to happen...
Thats My Mom at 1:31 =]
สวัสดี
Travis!!!!!! always on snare god man switch lol jk
All the snares look like 007
Technically BAC beat the stars in drums, but I am yet to meet a mortal man who played top bass as well as Jeremy did.
the center snare looks like the guy from the dark knight (before he gets his face burned)
He does xD
dude looks NOTHING like Aaron Eckhardt... what the fuck you smokin?
Paul Rennick? No, Paul Rennick has been with Phantom and SCV since like, 2003.
6 people marched boston crusaders
They're ghost strokes lol
Snares at 1:10? not good.
robots...wow!
:32 - :35 made me scream profanities!
5lets, 5lets, 5lets, 5lets, 5lets
even the subsections aren't very clean... and it's referred to as the vertical alignment between subsections.
Not to be a prick, but I doubt either one of you have met the level of prestige it takes to this shit. Give em a break and just enjoy the notes.
high pitched dutter 0:16
Zero love for basses...
@antonio006 Yupp, Tom Aungst clearly has no clue how to write for a drumline and doesn't seem to have any success... have you seen their show? the break fits in very well with the music and the theme of the show.
If only they were clean.
I loved this line but they looked even more douchey than BD
0:23 Tick! HAHA BITCHES!
haha that was my brother. As you can tell, he is an idiot. :) Cheers.
