I'm no drummer, nor musician come to that. But watching these guys makes the hair on my arms stand up. Marching off stage to the beat of your own drum shouting "Top, Top Secret!". Man, what a buzz!!
MaddenMasher 24 I mean that’s kind of the point, it’s more showman than skill. And each member has you know a real life and a job and stuff. This isn’t Corp where hey can spend hours on end on technique and a super hard book. More like high school where they meet a couple times a week for several hours. It’s basically like your average community band except in drumline
@@seanwoodburn2616 There are over three hundred lines in the US playing harder and cleaner beats. Like Captain kiwi said Corps kids dedicate massive hours and some of us worked forty hours a week and went to school that's what it took. People should enjoy this its fun weekend warrior shit. Like a pep band at a basketball game. Hot dog time
@@marklaurie1if I want a world leader , I would have to go with the switz, drummers and chocolate, world peace my friends, if anyone can do it the swiss ar the ones
Saw these guys live at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, liked them ever since, brilliantly precise and professional, even with how smoothly they carry on after a slight slip like dropping a drumstick, you'd not notice unless you were looking for it or saw the sticks on the ground. Lots of respect for these guys.
this is probably the best drum line on this planet. I watched so many videos of them and it's goosebumps everytime. If you think about that no one of them is a professional drummer and they all do it in their free time. its mind blowing. could watch it all day long...
I read your comment before I watched the vid. I missed it, but saw a stick on the floor being kicked away. I did notice they carry extras on the side of the drum.
In 1960, my mom let my brother's drum section practice their paradiddles in his bedroom. She was a good sport for art!!!The downstairs neighbors ran a hairbrush up and down the radiators for them to stop. Mom said they could practice as long as she was paying rent on time, and for 30 minutes! I loved it!!!This was in B'ham Alabama, Ramsay High school band!!!
wow mouth is still on the floor is total amazement. this is teamwork at its finest. i didnt think it could get any better until the fireworks came. mouth still on the floor. excellence
This must take endless hours of training and practicing but also a lot of innate ability. Their precision is like an atomic clock. They would also make great guards for Buckingham Palace, never losing their professional composure.
Omg the best ever and I can see the team work and everyone’s effort. So elegant, dramatic, and talented people. Excellent job. Thank you for your performance gentlemen.
So, ONLY someone who performs can appreciate what it takes to be at the level of these men? I hope people give you more credit than you give them. Work on the chip on your shoulder, please.
@@rosaliemoon5905 Wow! Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed? Since I have a music background, I'm aware of the intense training/competitive atmosphere and was merely giving them credit for their hard work. How that was offensive is a puzzle. Try a spoon full of sugar to sweeten you up. 🙄
@@alexreid4131 timestamp on dropped stick plz. I was mentally part of the crew until they started to pass around sticks. Imagine throwing a sh!tty stick there, resulting in your mate not able to beat his drum. the shame in front of thousands..
These guys are truly amazing and it's a shame some videographer felt the need to over produce this presentation. Part of what makes a performance like this truly wonderful is the synchronicity and coordination between the players. It was precisely in those moments that the producer decided that a close up, a sweeping pan or a shot from the end of the line where all you could see was a row of sticks flailing about was the appropriate shot. Kudos to the corps for a fantastic performance. Shame on you to the producer of this video for thinking your artistic merit was more important than that of the performers.
Unfortunately, you see the same in the DCA and DCI videos produced today. Drum solos (as we knew them) were a feature of the percussion line at one time. Now, when the line plays, the cameras pan to some insignificant movement of the hornline or flag dancers, thus missing the visual stickwork and performance of the snarelines. They should run a course on videoing drum corps shows, or at least have a fact sheet for each performing corps noting what and where a feature should be prominent in the video.....otherwise just a waste and a show if artistic camera editor's ego.
Look on YT for their other performances with NO artistic producing at all. To me, they are the best I have ever seen. I've watched all their YT videos.
You are absolutely right. The same thing happens in figure skating. The people who really care want to see the full picture, but videographers feel compelled to add close-ups because they do not understand the aesthetic!
Look at it this way, had it not been for the person taking the video, you would have had NOTHING to watch. A 'modicum' of gratitude goes a long way. 'I' enjoyed the video very much, considering I wasn't fortunate enough to attend the live performance.
So, I have been following Top Secret even when I was a young percussionist. One thing that has always made me wonder is this. Have they ever done just a Bass Drummer vs Bass Drummer battle? I'ld love to see that. Even Top Secret's Bass line is better than many snare lines!
In 1979 I was a freshman in high school.. I learned marching band quick..We went to festival of states national tournament and placed second in the, nation. The Golden Regiment from a small town called Travelers Rest S.C. I can say I know the hard work and hours of repetitive practice it takes to get to the level these guys make look simple...awesome job...daaammm
Say what you want? This is the 2016 rendition of Top Secret and another mind blowing great show of drumming and the true art of percussion excitement. Now hold on I for can not wait to see what they are planning for 2017 and their constant new ideas for a new new new 2017 show full of surprises and above all crowd pleasing entertainment. Without a doubt they have it I still believe even 2017 will be better and better.
Music is a direct and easy way to see how the power of compounding one's own discipline with others and uniting them how it may overlap symmetrically and it magnifies Magna fold it's so obvious in music and the discipline is clearly here and everybody's very ready to play and they are moves are excellent as well there's nothing you can say bad about it that's what sir I like it
4:32 mmm!....let the games begin!......the amazing climatic skills take over..... Thank you! Youre amazing percussionists! You inspire me when I hear you play and it heals many parts of me. Its drum therapy to my heart & spirit. Much Love Much Light Namaste 💜🐬💙🐎💚🐲💛🐉❤ 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Imagine they all have day jobs and bring it to that level.......... giving up their free time and pay most of the expenses themselves.... Proud of the drummers from my home town!
Tell us more about these guys! I marched in a drum and bugle corps years ago and still get the blood pumping when I hear absolute perfection like this !
The drum line has ALWAYS been my favorite part of the band. This was an AMAZING PERFORMANCE! Bravo 👏🏻
I'm no drummer, nor musician come to that. But watching these guys makes the hair on my arms stand up. Marching off stage to the beat of your own drum shouting "Top, Top Secret!". Man, what a buzz!!
This is THE Drum Line every drum line wants to grow up to become.

Never saw a performance where these guys didn’t rock the house. Amazing.
How awesome is this!
This is Perfectionism at
a whole new level..... 🥁
Not really a whole new level, the stuff they play is pretty easy. Their visuals just make it look cool
All visual. Go watch a drum corps battery, any of the top 15 corps blow these people out of the water
Quel magnifique travail de précision, si beau à écouter, et en plus, rempli d’humour. Félicitations.
Almost 2020 and this is still spectacular to me
Some guy once asked me whats the best thing living in Switzerland and all I could say is that the flag's allready a big plus...
Choclate!!!!!!
ARGHARGHJARGH!!!
Ah yes. The land of medicine
Just spat my wine out you sod!!

MaddenMasher 24 and cause they are soooo bad as you say theres only you that hating them. Get a life. And a brain
That being the case, MaddenMasher 24, when can we expect to see and comment on videos of YOUR drumming?
If you think they’re good, wait till you see the US WGI and DCI lines 👌🏻
I am still amazed by these guys and I've probably seen this clip 20 times.
Perfection!!!
I had to watch that part 142 times to see who even dropped their sticks. They just play right through. True pros!
Even if they drop there sticks they have spares in the side of their drum
Sorry to break it to you but look at 2:23 at the floor theirs a stick on the floor idk where it came from
I read your comment before I watched the vid. I missed it, but saw a stick on the floor being kicked away. I did notice they carry extras on the side of the drum.
I just love Top Secret. Amazing drumming, organization, and the pagentry ... The Best ❤️
I, for one, never get tired of watching The Top Secret drum core perform! the best!
Best Ive ever seen ..all in sync ..AWESOME
Ive watched this vid maybe 50+ times over the last few years and its still amazing, a proper pick me up vid, amazing show guys well done.
Ils sont vraiment trop forts , je ne peut plus m'empêcher de les écouter !!!! ...1000 /20
I wish I knew they were in America....a bucket list show for sure..
I see A lemon ahahahahaha
I see A lemon maybe blue devils bass drum line is better but that’s it

The sadness is, the incredible accuracy of your statent is YET STILL insufficient.
Top secret is a hobby/amateur group. They are not professional (as in that's their job).
They all have normal jobs.
Just sayin'.
Thank you❤
Omg the best ever and I can see the team work and everyone’s effort. So elegant, dramatic, and talented people. Excellent job. Thank you for your performance gentlemen.
I'm impressed!! Only if one understands percussion and performing could you appreciate the skill and planning that went into this. Outstanding 💥💥

Honestly one of the most pro things in this is how they managed to flawlessly cover up any mistakes they made. Absolutely amazing improv.
what mistakes?? haha

As someone who has been in stage performances and other forms of musical enterainment-
that was BLOODY AMAZING

I love these guys, Absolutely brilliant, watch them on you tube in the UK for years
Nothing like Swiss precision. I wear Swiss watches only!!! I was in Bern in the 70's!!! Love the Swiss.
we love you too... ;-)
Hopppppp Schwiiiizzzzz!
Ditto! Except I was there in 1984. :)
But Seiko is better. Fact.
TOP SECRET is like a perfect dose of better mental health ... Seriously, they never fail to make things better!! Love them 💜
I love them, they are the best in this world!

That is just unreal...Culmination of boundless talent...Endless hours of practice and unmatched dedication to perfection!
1 band, 1 sound, 100% perfection!!!
Been a big fan of this corp for awhile. Was at this year's tattoo & had a great time. Would highly recommend to anyone! Thanks for posting!
It is absolutely beautiful . Having been on a abrasion percussion line I am in awe of them,
My favorite band😍😍😍😍😍😍
The best drum corps in the world, love them:-)
You mean "fife and drum corps" :P
Beyond words. Love you and what you do. Keep on you make our country great!
They went from straight fire to blazing inferno in a split second. Wow! Highly combustible. They put a magnificent show. Wish I was there to see it.
I'm glad these guys have finally made it to the US. They are badass.
Simplesmente fantástico adorei👏👏👏👏👏
I've watched them preform in person and they are really good.
the best in the world

OMG, we saw this group at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in 2012, they are fabulous! I love the flutes!!
The wife and I were at this very tattoo when they performed, awesome drums.
Absolutely fantastic!!

I love these guys. Amazing.
🇺🇸 we love you 🇨🇭 fantastic talent !!
As a Swiss living in the US, this actually made me cry... Don't know why... Just them feels...
Its our swiss heritage came to your mind. Our ancestors where mercenaries and maybe your DNA recognices the sound of drums and sees the teamwork
OUTSTANDING! Former marching member, Cavaliers D&B, Chicago
This guys they are absolutely AWESOME like they are not humans just the best of the best omg I love it 😻
