A&T hands down. STIX chopped a lil and were somewhat clean but they could not match the intensity, flare, showmanship, sound, or damn near anything else you can think of from Cold Steel. Even if you take the snares out of the equation....the quints and tonal runs were death blows. A&T tenors had parts that added to the cadence.....Aamu playing catch with their tenors....
Not even close to accurate. HBCU drummers are more flashy and they play simple stuff that fits their shows and appeals to the common crowd, but to say they're better rudimentary drummers as a whole is completely wrong.
I totally get what you mean Caleb, it doesn't seem like your trying to insult hbcu bands - but honestly hbcu bands usually can't afford high tension modern snares making their chops and rudiments sound sloppy and often forcing them to stick with more traditional and simple cadences.
+cobi wartes Ok, you can state that.... but that doesn't change me or Calebs point. Also, I doubt that it's on purpose... they simply can't afford more in my opinion. One new high tension snare costs as much as atleast 5 of the aged lower tension sloppy sounding ones. That means they would be spending college budget (a black college at that... making funding even harder) to by new instruments at a cost ratio of 1:5 .
The bass runs that cs played won it for me in my opinion. I was paralyzed with shock when i heard them play that against AAMU. Why did AAMU do that to themselves?
Cold Steel KILLED stix!!! Though I'm from the MEAC I love the sound and intensity of a SWAC band, but they should NEVER step to a MEAC drumline because THIS will happen each and every time - PERIOD!
Why was there a crowd between the drumlines.... They was battling right????! Well the crowd should respect that and get out the way... This video was recorded from the side and they couldve did that too... Lol
How so it’s entertainment lol to go along with the show let me dumb this down cleanliness,material, showmanship, execution period AAMU you can’t come with no weak material like that in a drum battle my thing with swac they work with their horns but their drumlines are lack luster and the material be too basic lol when they step to meac, hell even CIAA material sound better than swac material smh outside of swac meac bands are more balanced on both sides spectrum
@@MrRobinson1911 you funny..they destroyed BCU already and why you think BCU and FAMU are coming to the SWAC,They like the SWAC bands better. And JSU and Southern was the main reason.Competition...bye fella you funny tho
@@jbu2009 Sir, you obviously dont keep with the news. The reason FAMU and BCU are coming to the SWAC has NOTHING to do with the band. LOL It has everything to do with MEAC dismantling itself, so schools are jumping ship. So, when they official become members of the SWAC, they will rule on the football field. Again, the switch has nothing to do with the band. Lastly, War and thunder are good in the SWAC, but in the MEAC, they would be roasted.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 no as I said before swac material is wayyyy to basic that style of band is all about horns not working with the drumlines and with the horns as a whole lol they terrible lol swac drumlines in general boring
AAMU was okay. Cold Steel was too much for those boys
A&T hands down. STIX chopped a lil and were somewhat clean but they could not match the intensity, flare, showmanship, sound, or damn near anything else you can think of from Cold Steel.

As a corps style drummer, it makes me happy to hear HBCU lines play CLEAN beats
+Caleb Mathis Corps style sleep too much on HBCU drummers. Its HBCU that will run circles around corps when it comes to clean, and rudimental drumming

Kyla M. they use those drums on purpose

AAMU caught a beat down that day. Snares were as dirty as it was hot out there.
I feel bad....somebody actually told AAMU they could hang with cold steel. Im not even a fan a T, but they just roasted AAMU....DAMN!
Noooooo AAMU wasnt ready! in my kevin hart voice lol
Lol nice 👌👊
marc d. 😂😂😂😂😂

Different styles. .......me personally dis alright, but i prefer swac J.S.U
@@downsouth822 no he telling the truth the material that is played is way different and you can tell who puts mote effort into cadences and features
Who told them to step up to A&T I don't think they thought that threw
So why AAMU take Alabama state's groove beat and chant in the beginning tf? smh.
Aj Orea ikr now they trying to be like JSU lol
Boy state stole that chant from us young mushmouth. State stole our chant in the late 90s son. We been saying AM AM AM AM U for centuries son.
Why was there a crowd between the drumlines.... They was battling right????! Well the crowd should respect that and get out the way... This video was recorded from the side and they couldve did that too... Lol
We were never in front of each other, we just took turns and performed one feature each in front of the crowd.
I dig cold steels hybrid style

@@shadowballgaming351 its been 2 years and tbh ive always liked swac more i just come from a dci style high school
Why did this happen??
Dang it looks hot out there lol
it was very hot, this was in Orlando in August...
Lol damn I thought AAMU was gonna match A&T in the beginning.......then they lost me as the battle continued......sorry A&T got the W

A&T took that one.
AAMU did thier Thang wow. Funky and Powerful.
Team Hornets The Aggies are good I love Delaware State U. Afterblast for life. All those sections with no class bow to the name of Afterblast.
coldsteel is just on another level....the only drumline MEAC or SWAC can even step to thei drummline is war n thunder...from jsu
All lies
War and thunder is really not impressive. They aight! In the MEAC, they would be roasted....wouldn’t even be mentioned.
