I met him at his dad's camp and he's also an extremely organized guy and a really hard worker. Really nice dude, just in case you didn't know his name's Matt Keown.
To all the people hating on the center snare or on the drumline: Stop trying to cover up your own insecurity because you either didn't make the line yourself or know that you never could. These guys are the best of the best and have all more than proven themselves on the field. So instead of leaving hate comments about top DCI drumlines based off of your own ignorant bias or jealousy, why don't you get off your computer and go practice.
1) Dutting keeps the line in sync and makes sure everyone comes in on time. 2) Marking time with legs is not a crutch, if anything it takes more skill to keep time with the legs while playing complex polyrhythmic phrases with the hands. 3) The instructor is there more as a musical guide than a time guide. 4) If you don't practice with a met. you'll never play in time. All these things are a part of practice and rehearsal, not performance (except dutting) and every line does these as standard.
That particular tick didn't look like a left thumb problem. He just used the wrong sticking, broke, and recovered. It's live music, it happens sometimes.
the center snare doesnt kill the swag of the line, the dirt kills the swag. btw it's fucked up for yall to make fun of his looks he's just a kid who likes to drum like you
i agree with you bro. he may have big teeth? who cares! he can play like a beast, and waaay better than a majority of the people who left bad comments.
@beastdrummer555 Indeed center tenor for 2009. Look up Bluecoats 2009 semi-finals and find the indoor one and his the spot light sometimes on the dots.
thats like asking if a rock band can keep in time without a drummer. a drumline is a source of tempo, but those are tools to keep the unit as a whole at a singular tempo.
not trying to hate as i know they are all great players and much better than i am and mabey its the camera but shit theres just no clarity. most noticable in the snareline especially in that opening feature.
@StarCorpsProductions Honestly, I don't think the majority of those comments are hate comments. I think that most, if not all, people making comments like that realize that the BD drumline is sick and that they could probably never make it. They are simply joking around, not out of disrespect, but for the purpose of "trolling." Those people that always comment on youtube videos saying, "shut the fuck up" simply don't understand that...
I know this comment is from a while ago, but I knew someone was going to say this haha. But he, Chris Bright, had problems with his left thumb, as it was unnatural (I can't remember the cause). If you look at his left thumb, it's bandaged. He was telling me over the season that his thumb was giving him lots of trouble. He made it on the 2012 line, but had to get out because of his thumb. And now you know! haha
@spursfan4life yeah dude this is early season. any line, even the cavaliers, are gonna have dirt. listen to their finals tape and tell me if you think otherwise
the issue isn't the thumb problem man. He can obviously play anything written in that book. And the thumb thing has nothing to do with using the wrong sticking. Watch closely and you can see ...
some say bass drummers minds work over 6000 time faster than the average human and that there drums are built from the skin of giraffe all we no is there called the blue devils. ha you wont understAND UNLESS YOU WATCH BRITISH TOPGEAR
@Wowurgaylol Haha, yeah I know no one breaks on purpose. But I meant its better to break and stay out, than to try and jump back in mid phrase and make it even dirtier. I was watching another Blue devil lot video where Andrew Odello, the guy to the left of the center, broke during this same section of the show, almost seemingly on purpose because he slowed down or sped up or something on a roll and decided to just stay out until the last muffled shot.
@mbarker181 Just look at their hands. BD must have the easiest book to transcribe. Some lines I have to look at parts a few times to get the sticking or whatever but BD's beats seem simple. I'm not saying I'm better by the way cause I definitely don't have those chops
...because he has (or had) problems with his thumb, like it didn't develop properly (instead of it being straight, it's bent IN, like at a right angle) his problem wasn't minor
I'm not trying to be mean, but the snare drummer with "buck-teeth" is hilarious. He's all serious but it is extremely difficult to take him seriously. He is awesome. lol.
I've never understood how people play like the snare left of center snare. It looks super uncomfortable to play with you left hand like that and looks like you would loose volume. Not saying people who play like that are bad just weird to me
i tryed to dut like matt keown(center snare) the other day and i got light headed and almost passed out!! then i tryed to tell the football players at school drumline is harder then they think..... they said i was a pussy
why are they marking time poorly and playing really week? the center snare and the girl are like the only two ive seen like play and mark time agressivly...
I met him at his dad's camp and he's also an extremely organized guy and a really hard worker. Really nice dude, just in case you didn't know his name's Matt Keown.
Abraham Im lol I’m going to his dads camp this summer, Alan was my drum coach’s drum coach.

Lol, it's entirely possible the dude just looked like a dweeb in this video.

nothin can touch bd quads
Yeah !!!
did keelan get cut?
Cute dresses ladies.
No more Dynasty?
should've never watered that snare break.....
that quad line is just layin shit down like they don't give a fuck
1:10 "center snare looks like baraka from mortal kombat" hahahahaha
i dont know what i expected omfg
LOL
Whoa! PC Principal was BD's center snare?!?!
?/
What?
@@TM-_-J I think he’s being a smart ass talking about the toothy guy playing center snare
@forzaitalia5910 How?
@fchguy a lot of people have marched more than one corps. she likes both of them. so she marched both of em :P
does center have a overbite or something? just wondering not insulting.
Do you have eyes dumbass
Scott Nelson looks so chill, and Nick Arce looks like he's gonna kill somebody.
That particular tick didn't look like a left thumb problem. He just used the wrong sticking, broke, and recovered. It's live music, it happens sometimes.
and quads
center snare is cheesin so hard
the center snare doesnt kill the swag of the line, the dirt kills the swag. btw it's fucked up for yall to make fun of his looks he's just a kid who likes to drum like you
i agree with you bro. he may have big teeth? who cares! he can play like a beast, and waaay better than a majority of the people who left bad comments.
center snare is dutting his fuckin teeth off!!!
What ever happened to center snare dotting loud? Like finals and semi finals i heard nothing out of him.
did the quad on the far left march bluecoats?
@Wowurgaylol Its better to break and keep the solo clean than to stay in and make it dirty. Just saying.
Napoleon dynamite is their center?
@beastdrummer555
Indeed center tenor for 2009. Look up Bluecoats 2009 semi-finals and find the indoor one and his the spot light sometimes on the dots.
@drewdrummer7 No way! You're the guy with all the WGI/ DCI golds. Holy crap, you're my hero dude.
I went to this show. It was soo sick.
Oh Great !!
thats like asking if a rock band can keep in time without a drummer. a drumline is a source of tempo, but those are tools to keep the unit as a whole at a singular tempo.
what did scott do to the drum at 0:53?
pause after :15 proof that even the best in the world aren't perfect
I don't see anything what
Asuna yuuki i think hes referring to :09 where the dude next to center broke
Ohhh now I see, Thanks
snare line looks like robots...
@forzaitalia5910 yet you'll never be as good as him.
@beastdrummer555 Yup, he sure did. His name is Scott Nelson. Him and Nick Arce are childhood friends and played in RCC together on the quad line.
@fchguy
yeah i cant believe she left..
not trying to hate as i know they are all great players and much better than i am and mabey its the camera but shit theres just no clarity. most noticable in the snareline especially in that opening feature.
Where is Keelan??
is that a 2010 bluecoats snare in there?
When is this in the season? The basses had white drums at finals.

and these guys actually have a handful of flams in their licks
big teeth that scenter snare has
that's way cleaner than the Cavilier clip uploaded by this same youtube user
I know this comment is from a while ago, but I knew someone was going to say this haha. But he, Chris Bright, had problems with his left thumb, as it was unnatural (I can't remember the cause).

Anyone else notice left of center break at :09 before the shot. '_' poker face
@InnovativeKid
...hense the reason why the Cavies didn't wear sunglasses, yet took first in drums.
who cares how he looks, he's good
@spursfan4life yeah dude this is early season. any line, even the cavaliers, are gonna have dirt. listen to their finals tape and tell me if you think otherwise
เซนเตอร์จะโชว์ฟันยืนทำไมคับ...
@fchguy i love you too
the issue isn't the thumb problem man. He can obviously play anything written in that book. And the thumb thing has nothing to do with using the wrong sticking. Watch closely and you can see ...
maybe slightly tighten or loosen the bottom snares... he wouldnt do much while they were playing like that
Basses never get any attention.
GO BASS.
AND his dad own offworld drumpads
i guess theyve never heard of clarity
some say bass drummers minds work over 6000 time faster than the average human and that there drums are built from the skin of giraffe all we no is there called the blue devils. ha you wont understAND UNLESS YOU WATCH BRITISH TOPGEAR
0:40 you'll never make Nick flinch.
@beastdrummer555 scott nelson?? yesss
At about :42 the q5 are the 4 most badass people in the entire universe
@MilkMuscles hes hawaiian not asian
that center snare totally kills the swag for the entire line
dont ever speak on matt keown
Damn...center snare has some chompers...
swear spit came out the screen when he said the duts
Whoa whoa whoa! When did BD play lots!? How long before shows was this?
You're a great american.
Even though the center looks incredibly weird, he's a beast at playing AND dutting.
when the hell did gary busey make snare line?
@CheeriosMonster matt keown
talk about an overbite in the beginning!
@Wowurgaylol Haha, yeah I know no one breaks on purpose. But I meant its better to break and stay out, than to try and jump back in mid phrase and make it even dirtier.

i love a good drumline pokerface
@StarCorpsProductions Oh, okay. It seemed like you were scolding people for joking around about that guy's teeth.
@Superunknownful haha I know.
That dirty ass snare line.. in a bad way.
That a dirty ass quad line in a good way.
@duke2757 I had to keep rewinding that, like it was so suttle, i didn't think anyone noticed that besides me haha like he stopped playing for a second
does the center snare have a mouth guard on, or just has the worst over-bite ever?
@MilkMuscles lol ikr
...because he has (or had) problems with his thumb, like it didn't develop properly (instead of it being straight, it's bent IN, like at a right angle) his problem wasn't minor
I'm not trying to be mean, but the snare drummer with "buck-teeth" is hilarious. He's all serious but it is extremely difficult to take him seriously. He is awesome. lol.
I can't be the only one who shits his pants at 0:19
@reddishmango nope
I've never understood how people play like the snare left of center snare. It looks super uncomfortable to play with you left hand like that and looks like you would loose volume. Not saying people who play like that are bad just weird to me
@1sikpup at least it makes his "dut, dut, dut..." look more aggressive!!
those tenors
@duke2757 I was just watching for the visual at :10, but none the less it was a rather discrete mistake, and a good recovery.
@1sikpup look at the "BLING" on his neck..... looks heavy...
LOL his dad doesn't own offworld. It's a very tight knit family here in the NW though and I'm sure him and his dad give input.
i tryed to dut like matt keown(center snare) the other day and i got light headed and almost passed out!! then i tryed to tell the football players at school drumline is harder then they think..... they said i was a pussy
@1sikpup It's Napoleon Dynamite!
did you really say ''center snare looks like baraka from mortal kombat'' ?
center snare has a mouth guard? lmao
Seriously though, looks don't matter when it comes to performing, besides stick heights
Center snare is really scaring me with his teeth out like that
@theCultureShockband Oh, my bad. But i still love him. lmao
Oh wow i thought he did lol but i think his dad works there i think
why are they marking time poorly and playing really week? the center snare and the girl are like the only two ive seen like play and mark time agressivly...
@ppgray22 I'm DYING.
