This was the bomb! I remember this from the early 80's while in High School... Saw this exact same drumline in L.A. at CSU Los Angeles when Sprit of Atlanta and Crossmen, VK, Kingsmen, and WEST COAST EXPRESS along with BD and Freelancers played a great show.
Thanks for posting this, I had the wonderful opportunity to be Fred Sanford's judges assistant in 1995 for an indoor drumline show. What an amazing guy, he was super nice and easy going. We talked about this drum solo at the time and how it was still something us "young guys" still admired and enjoyed. Awesome video!!
Thanks for posting this! I remember watching this as a kid in high school back in the early 80s. I think these were put out by McCormicks back then and SCV with Rob Carson and Fred Sanford were the sh*t!
A rare gem! A moment in time in the late 70's where we can see the craftsmanship of Fred Sandford in action when putting together a drumline: interpretation of passages and mastering drumming at slower tempos first....a superb technician!
I remember watching this video when I was in high school. Back then I tried to get our cymbals to do those visuals. Needless to say, it didn't go so well!
They dealt with it because the were told too and they knew they were going to be in a bad ass drumline and they were getting to work with one of the best teachers in DCI at the time.

I had the opportunity to be Fred's Judges assistant in 1995/1996, what a great guy he was. Wish he was still around today.

Not at the moment but I will keep my eyes peeled.

Awesome! I'm trying to get my hands on the series. . .A little hard to come by these days.
You just crushed me! I didn't hear about Greg. We were close by then.

@GreenCowboy
Fred Sanford was a master teacher. SCV drum lines always smoked under his guidence.
I though it was best when played in 1987. I believe tempos were much higher then and still very clean.
i love tenors :)
Thank you! I used to watch this video once a day for a year. Where is Rob's solo? Nice job (I miss Fred).

We had all this shit in high school...class of 96
Someone will be sending me the complete collection soon. I only had part 2. I will put the rest up soon.
i love home timeless those remo pinestripes are on tenors. =]
"timp toms" haha never figured out why 3 drums were used when most meter partials were based on 4 and even to two hands.
do you have the other part to this series, "Melodic Percussion"
my dad was the snare and my uncle is the 1st cymblos
Kent Cater on bass #2!!!!!!!!!!

You are the greatest. By the way you don't have the 74' first marching percussion do you? That's what got me started. I marched SCV 80' and 81'.
Dang if I marked time like that, my legs would be DEAD.
@bguertner Lezghinka was played in '78 and '79.
