That just became the most lit triplet roll exercise in existence
and then SSLII came into existence
Center quad is just enjoying the hell out of himself. Love it
This is probably going to go down as one of the most under ranked lines in all of DCI history. I cant believe this didn't win drums
top 3 were insanely close that year
They won in prelims or something right?
Alex Almond pretty sure yes
3rd in prelims, 2nd in semis, 3rd in finals
Bluecoats were just so damn good, they had 99 99 finals night. I think they were the best this year.
that awkward moment at the beginning when you think they're doing an exercise at the beginning, but it turns into a show seg....
It is an exercise. Went right into the show chunk after it though
I just busted a Mcnutt. Notice how their tenors sound a lot like the SCV tuning. I met Colin in 92 after they played Poof at the Concord Pavilion show. Really cool guy.
it must be an insane work out having to play this show music, plus the amount of marching they do along with it. These guys are just beasts.
That is a looooong phrase….
The Oh fact that I the only thing that would have
Amazing stuff... too bad the audio doesn't pick up Holy Bass that well
VF videos usually don't :/
amazing stuff from the quads
Awesome!
DUT EAST COAST *INSANE TAP ROLL*
RIP Cadets -- so sad
:31 -:36 is my favorite part of this whole book. So ballsy.
At 3:06 it sounds like there's a tear between some quads and some snares or the editor of this video is playing recordings that don't line up perfectly. You can hear it in the quad roll down the drums and the 3 pattern on the snare rims.
1:50 holy SHIT
EAST COAST!
My tech is the end snare by the quads
So Clean......Holy Smokes
I love it when quads use cookies 😍
It's nice to see tenors still using mallets!
it's all played at beast mode. definately ram the most notes every year.
Those 3's. Those heights. Those dovetail rolls. Those clean flams. Those triple scrapes....
CLEAN!!!slightly above BD this 2015.
@2:21...... YES LAWD!
These boys are playing with some sack yo
Holy shit
The tenor drum player to the very right is the drumline instructor for my high school
Is that big nick on tenors?
I wonder why the stick heights for tenors were so high at the beginning even tho they are using cookies?
Natetural kicks thats just the style
Those ping shots at the end though ... Mmmmmm
The tenors using those massive mallets
Notice how much sound they get from the tenors when using mallets? I understand using sticks when you want a certain sound, but as the main implement.....
You can get the same sound with smaller mallets so it kind of defeats the purpose.
Lukease
Not really. It comes out sounding small, and lacking any kind of punch.
Inspadave Snare sticks give a nice hard and loud sound when you play with them, it's just harder to do sweeps. I guess each mallet/stick serves a purpose so more power to them
My arms would fall off after this
Simpler times
3:38
I thought that this drum line was way better in 2014 than 2013. And these guys were way better than the 2014 Cadets. What is the food truck feeding them?
+john deer
The way it works is there are a few variables ... sometimes chemistry...sometimes a uniform understanding of the same rhythm articulation...
a motivating/inspiring book, and/ or a senior line, from where the players had to build experience, meaning the worst year you were talking about was a year AFTER a lot of age-outs.
A good example of chemistry and uniform interpretation, is 1992 SCV...they were known to have tremendously, talented individuals...but the line did not live up to its hype...another one, 1987 Tom Float line...4 individuals placed in snare solo competition, i believe , 1,2.4,5....thats talent, but as a line, they didnt do well.
Well yeah, I'm sure a lot of things go into having a quality battery section. But my point is, how did this line not win drums? And how is the level of quality constantly going upward for these guys?
Usually after really good seasons,the next season won't be as strong. They've gotten significantly better year after year since the last time they won drums (2013). And in my opinion, this percussion ensemble blows the 2013 percussion section out of the water. Bar none.
+john deer I really respect this conversation. I'll just add in that our program is continuously growing year after year, the staff and members are constantly adding things to the program in terms of what we play and how we function. A huge part of the way our drumline is ran is based on chemistry. We don't look for talent as much as we look for motivated people who are there for the right reasons. I couldn't care less about the scores, and where the judges place us, I just know I had the best two summers of my life, only because the chemistry between all of the members on the line, and with the staff, was incredible.
+Patrick McHale amen Patty!! #truth
McNutt went McNutts this year with the McNutts
4th? Jeezus.....
For the cadets overall, yeah. Not percussion
Here 7 years later to say and stand by McNutt > ScoJo
How they didnt get bests drums is beyond me.
mcflickle Because the 1st place drumline was clearly better. That's why.
mcflickle because if you listen you hear this thing called dirt all over the place
***** their snare line is for sure clean like 98% of the time and the basses excellent, but the quads had many questionable moments
mcflickle 1 bluedevils were cleaner and 2 because its called best PERCUSSION. BD front ensemble was better. But I saw them live. I enjoyed this book alot more than BD.
***** you know, it doesn't take a world-class level player to be able to identify dirt.
Fuckin reefed
Lol looks like Cavies 2013
I loved that line, but these guys are unquestionably way better
3:24 not very good scrap technique
*scrape
True, it's taken from scv where colin marched and adapted into east coast playing style
Great critique bro. Very insightful.
3:06 tenor roll literally dirtiest thing i've ever heard
Bob Bobb the buzz roll? lol
Jacob Halfman it's not supposed to be a buzz, the fact that you thought it was proved his point
I just went and checked the music measure 232 of the second movement. It is a normal triplet roll but you could have tried to come off less condescending in your post.
Snares sound kind of sloppy
nice, fairly clean...tenors were really good...the only thing i didn't like is its too square...
roll quality is better than recent years, but there are too many unaccented 16th notes and check patterns...its what we used to back in the day, make fun of Cavies...check patterns and 16th notes...
there are a few off speed rolls ... but no off beat attacks, grace notes or funk accents and grease...sometimes syncopated
groove rhythms work...have some space in between all those 16 notes...make a theme out of certain passages...
call and answer responses....
i don't think there was a single accent on the "e" or "a"...writing seems to have gotten pretty linear and kindergarten...
go back and listen to Buddy Rich and DCI in the 80's and early 90's where writing was exquisitely done by Hardimon, Sco Jo, Float, Hannum, De Lucia etc...
but i am glad to see diddle quality was there with the snares and tenors...
Crown's tenor chops were suspect...
I do want to add, i did enjoy this line compared to recent years...
brian head Yeah man...there's literally no flams. Cadets never play flams.
brian head And that drum break section in the middle...where there's a 5 bar hemiola of 5 note groups with double accents...so square.
+Kevin Thompson 5s with weird accent patterns are pretty square for mcnutt, those have been in his books for forever. The rest of the book is incredibly dense, very clean, and fitting for the musical selection, but in my opinion, not as rhythmically exciting and diverse as it could have been. I think thats what he meant by square. Its hugely impressive, but there are so many nonstop notes that it becomes boring.
+Richard Goreham
Look at your comment you wrote: stare at it carefully..." You're also watching 3 and a half minutes..."
so Colin McNutt wrote the 3 minute part that i listened to, and Tom Float wrote the rest of the book, that i didn't listen to?
i am sorry 3 and a half minutes is enough to understand this... book/style of writing...
4/4 160bpm....chuggachuggachugga-dat,-chuggachuggachuggaduggdat-trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrat-chugga-dat-chuggachugga-dat-chuggachuggachuggachuggadat...
+Kevin Thompson their opener litteraly has flams spitting at you
I just want to lift there left foot up first
Another thing, am i crazy, or is EVERY OOOHHH!!!...AAHHHH !!! ...WHOOAH !!! after the dirtiest passage or the easiest 16th passage?
when they were clean and fast rolls...nothing....highschool paradiddlediddles ending loud.....OOOHHH!!! AAHHHH!! WHOOOAHH!!!
Thats fricken weird !!!
That's a looooong ram in a show man. I get that they're playing tons of cool notes, but there isn't any real musicality during this whole thing. Just balls to the wall ramming.
yo like im just saying, the black guys and most of the other snares drums are way too damn high up, like yo.
