It's amazing how many folks don't understand why the quad player is grooving the way he is. That's how showband drummers groove to their cadences, They don't just stand stiff like corps drummers.
I love the black guy on the tenors, the entire drumline is playin while standing very still, then u see him and he's like break dancin while playin. He is the definition of cool
They both were good, The navy stood out a little bit more on being " uniform " as one. Which I think is the biggest part of being a drumline. It's all drums as one, not 1 standing out from the others!
Army due to the fact that the tenors for the navy were out of sync the entire first half of the battle. As for the Army tenor, he is the best drumming tenor in this battle. Plus drumline is supposed to be fun and rhythmic not stuck up and stiff.
That was my point, hence the (see Naval Academy) portion of my comment. So how can anyone have a competition, friendly or otherwise, against the Marine Corps since they are all midshipmen until graduation?
plus for you people that don't know... there is no attention during play. you're supposed to have fun. otherwise whats the point? the only time you need to stand at attention is after you've finished playing. I agree completely with Season Zero Yami.
@@aprilstegall6002 Although I respect the energy coming out of the Army here, I think because of how the Navy is so clean AS WELL AS being in FULL DRESS UNIFORM cleans this competition up in their favor.
This is all in fun and I would be proud to have any one of them covering my six. I give the first round to the Navy and the second round to the Army. But The Ohio State University Buckeye Band has the BDBITL. Go Army, Go Bucks!
Hey Army drum line, you dont keep time with your feet and your timing is all over the place, notice the navy does and they are right on. Keeping time with feet is the most basic part of playing marching music! so MARCH! My old instructers would have eaten you alive!
Elissa Kinsey that's supposed to be stands music it really doesn't matter if they sound good its supposed to be noise its not meant to be in time trust me im in marching band staying in time helps in stands music but its not that important
the black guy was totally rocking out on those quads like a pro it was awesome to see someone actually having fun playing in one of these bands cause most of these guys looked angry
i grew up in annapolis i was at the naval academy every single after school i have seen some bad ass snare drummers come and go i remember this one cat name douglas mckinny who took me under his wing navy drum line was sick they was untouchable 1979 to 1986 i will never for get it.
I love the Navy's tom section solo in the first song, and if I was going to be a judge i'd have trouble deciding who won. Both of the drumlins were very well syncopated, and they have difficult and interesting songs each. And you'd think being a percussionist would help you decide.
I vote Navy, mostly because they have a similar version to one of my school's cadences (funny how they go around, isn't it?), but also because of the tenor that broke the tone of the line as he was taken away by his own energy.
Thanks for posting, this was pretty enjoyable... don't know why it's in a parking garage, but cool anyway. My vote: Navy - crisper sound/uniforms ... no dancing.
Well, I do appreciate it - was at the KRAB in 06 and was thankful for you guys. In this video, I responded more to the Navy in it but the Army did kick Navy's butt in the other Drumline video - the one filmed at the Linc in Philly.
Army all the way....they worked the crowd and had fun with it....drumlines are supposed to have fun while showing off their skills....this is not a funeral but a celebration of artistry!
That's really cool you want to learn. There are several things you can use to learn. One thing you'll need is a pair of marching snare drum sticks. Vic Firth sells them as corpsmaster sticks. The next step is to learn basic rudiments. Google "basic rudiments" and click on the Vic Firth. That might help you. Practice until you're able to play all of them at any speed. Rudiments are really great builders, and a lot of marching music is basically rudiments, so get those down and you should be set.

Man, that 1st Army tenor drummer made my fucking day. Looked like he was having the time of his life, and sounded amazing, too.
I love how the black guy gets so into it... Lovin his job
He's moving because he also FEELS the music! I couldn't help but sit here and bob my head and tap a foot keeping in time.
Such tradition!! Love the Army/Navy game as well.
This is the same army drumline that played with the airforce on another video!
that army guy got lots of swag! lol!
It's amazing how many folks don't understand why the quad player is grooving the way he is. That's how showband drummers groove to their cadences, They don't just stand stiff like corps drummers.
Why is he the only one?
He's Army. No discipline or pride in appearance. Great playing though.
When you play amazingly AND are standing perfectly still at attention, it is just THAT much more impressive.
The Navy sounds tight!
Navy always sounds tight. :)
Fist_Full_ Of_BACONhi!
Fist_Full_ Of_BACON! yt? Nu
Don't
Hell, the army sure has a great rhythm
What about the Navy?
this is how we do in the army
I love the black guy on the tenors, the entire drumline is playin while standing very still, then u see him and he's like break dancin while playin. He is the definition of cool
I love how the Navy is in dress uniform while the Army is in utilities
That particular black boy on the left is fucking hilarious!....
That's typically me when I play the snare in marching band too! Gotta get into it! Haha
He's the best part!
They both were good, The navy stood out a little bit more on being " uniform " as one. Which I think is the biggest part of being a drumline. It's all drums as one, not 1 standing out from the others!
NO FUCK YOU BITCH!!! (read his name) 😝😝
😂😂😂
both are amazing
you se, I like it when people have fun while playing the drums, not all stone faced. These guys ere great, dancin and everything.
Lol, u could tell that army guy swagged it out with a hbcu-style band some time in his life.
Army due to the fact that the tenors for the navy were out of sync the entire first half of the battle. As for the Army tenor, he is the best drumming tenor in this battle. Plus drumline is supposed to be fun and rhythmic not stuck up and stiff.
we all have that one friend at the front
I KNOW RIGHT
He was feeling it....I was feeling it with him
They sound amazing.
All the branches are to scared to face USMC drumline lol
The Marine Corps has it's own academy? When did that happen. (see Naval Academy)
Jeff Fleck True story.
Actually the USMC doesn't have a Academy because they're apart of the Naval Academy so the guy who said it was right.
That was my point, hence the (see Naval Academy) portion of my comment. So how can anyone have a competition, friendly or otherwise, against the Marine Corps since they are all midshipmen until graduation?
I did see that i was referring to the guy who posted the messege though not towards you
plus for you people that don't know... there is no attention during play. you're supposed to have fun. otherwise whats the point? the only time you need to stand at attention is after you've finished playing. I agree completely with Season Zero Yami.
Levyen Saunders you are EXACTLY right you ARE supposed to have swagg during a drumline battle!!! Army wins it hands down!!!!
@@aprilstegall6002 Although I respect the energy coming out of the Army here, I think because of how the Navy is so clean AS WELL AS being in FULL DRESS UNIFORM cleans this competition up in their favor.
right on! both were awsome
This is all in fun and I would be proud to have any one of them covering my six. I give the first round to the Navy and the second round to the Army. But The Ohio State University Buckeye Band has the BDBITL. Go Army, Go Bucks!
The tenor player on the army side is so into it lol
Squids win every time! Perfect posture. Professionalism and precision. Never lack luster! Awesome!
With these beats im surprised everybody doesn't just break out dancing
they are both great
they are both awesome for the simple fact that all of these ladies and gentlemen are going on to serve our country.
Let's just appreciate the guys/gals - Go military - we appreciate all you do!!
Drummers are the master race.
navy, hands down! they are tight, move as a unit and the timing is impeccable.
Hey Army drum line, you dont keep time with your feet and your timing is all over the place, notice the navy does and they are right on. Keeping time with feet is the most basic part of playing marching music! so MARCH! My old instructers would have eaten you alive!
Totally, they were MUCH more disciplined than Army.
Elissa Kinsey that's supposed to be stands music it really doesn't matter if they sound good its supposed to be noise its not meant to be in time trust me im in marching band staying in time helps in stands music but its not that important
+Elissa Kinsey But which had more fun
Excellent, bravo et tank you....
the black guy was totally rocking out on those quads like a pro it was awesome to see someone actually having fun playing in one of these bands cause most of these guys looked angry
Speechless.... awesome
Your right its good to get into it
Love the sound of tenors In the morning. Hooyah go navy.
I like how the tenor colors correspond to the players' skin color.
i grew up in annapolis i was at the naval academy every single after school i have seen some bad ass snare drummers come and go i remember this one cat name douglas mckinny who took me under his wing navy drum line was sick they was untouchable 1979 to 1986 i will never for get it.
I kept watching that one guy from the Army! He was getting so into it! haha
I love the Navy's tom section solo in the first song, and if I was going to be a judge i'd have trouble deciding who won. Both of the drumlins were very well syncopated, and they have difficult and interesting songs each. And you'd think being a percussionist would help you decide.
Army has the energy, Navy was clean…… Army won!
I vote Navy, mostly because they have a similar version to one of my school's cadences (funny how they go around, isn't it?), but also because of the tenor that broke the tone of the line as he was taken away by his own energy.
Go Navy! I appreciated and respected their professionalism and class.
I agree! ...and that calypso style had it going on
Thanks for posting, this was pretty enjoyable... don't know why it's in a parking garage, but cool anyway.
My vote: Navy - crisper sound/uniforms ... no dancing.
I like how every Army drummer is standing perfectly still.... and then there's that one guy closest to the camera.... damn plebes.
I love how the black soldier playing the tenors closet to the camera in the Army is getting into it while everybody else is playing in set.
You just got served!! Another 5 years into service
The cadence the Andy played is called Ruben's. The high school I attended played it, but we played it differently.
I am proud of you Army!
I would give this to the Army. I just felt like they were better and that they did know what they were doing.
Well, I do appreciate it - was at the KRAB in 06 and was thankful for you guys. In this video, I responded more to the Navy in it but the Army did kick Navy's butt in the other Drumline video - the one filmed at the Linc in Philly.
Army all the way....they worked the crowd and had fun with it....drumlines are supposed to have fun while showing off their skills....this is not a funeral but a celebration of artistry!
That first song is a classic at a Lufkin Football game!
Midshipmen all day long!! Who else comes to a battle in full formal attire and destroys the enemy? Navy/Marine Corps team
Semper Fi, USMC Ret
that's what you call dedication!
i like them both.
nuff' said.
to be fair that guy rocked
The second half is where it's at! I hope it gets posted some time too. Go Navy!
Excellent
it looks really fun to be in a military drumline
he's loving the music XD
We need this in Australia!!
Which is why they ALL should get rockin'!
yeah, thats another factor too, but I've heard many groups that play indoors (WGI) and they play in very echoy rooms and still sound great.
loving the quad ticks haha
I have to give it to the Navy, because I only saw a couple of them flip their sticks :-) Both were awesome!
the navy has the same exact drum the my drumline has!
SWEET
I would love to do this someday
they both had the same beat so its freakin hard to decide a winner
both were good !!:) go army/navy !!
a battle to see who can stay as motionless as possible.
Ya u can just tell he loves what he does. Thats the way it should be.
former army myself, but I gotta say midshipmen owned this one. dude on the end had some swag, but that's about it.
I agree!!!
Excellent drumming...
From both parties.....
That's what I was thinking...he was the only one bouncing around.
Can't decide they're both very skilled.
That foo is feelin it!
black army dude got me fucking rolling
Sick!!!!
i think the army played a more upbeat song but the navys routine was a bit more technical and became really developed over time.
yea, but they guy playing them is really havin fun
and duke was like, congrats, you guys can play our warmup
i dig that first navy cadence. i wanna see if i can get my drumline to do it
Navy just looks more classy
Both sound great!
army stick heights look great but please remember to Relax and have fun
In the military standards (and from several band competitions myself) i can't really argue that.
navy coordination man tooo cool
That's really cool you want to learn. There are several things you can use to learn. One thing you'll need is a pair of marching snare drum sticks. Vic Firth sells them as corpsmaster sticks.

Navy won the football game, I see. And they sure as hell won the DRUM-OFF!
I like the fact that the Navy side played the bleu raeders cadence
Lmao, it cracks me up that the black guy right in front of the camera is the only one really bobbing his head and rocking out XD
Navy humble and discipline.
his chops though, are great. what do you play for the mostpart
army has the ACU bottoms (camo) and the navy has the coats and white services caps on
*flips table* NAVVVYYYYY!!1!
the tenor drum player closest to the camera was rocking out
