Back in the day, it was "hey, you suck, so you get to play cymbals". Now it's "hey, you are built like Tarzan and look like you can juggle fire while walking a tightrope and chewing gum - here, have these cymbals - try not to set them on fire."
If Paul Rennick has done anything for modern drumcorps he's made having good timing a thing again. All I hear here are kids who feel the time the same way and interpret it the same. Big spaces between the notes are so nice to hear. So much like what Tom Hannum did for Star in the early 90's.
that, and tuning. Some of the most muscial-sounding drums I've heard in a long time
Michael Engle These drums SING.
Michael Engle
Yeah dynasty drums man,
I wasn’t quite with them on the dfx line but ever since the custom elite series, I’ve thought them to be the best sounding drums 👌
especially 06 pr
I remember the early morning warmup sessions. It's like going into a weird fuge state for 15 min. Your brain hasn't been up long enough to get on any particular mode yet and then you just get this sweet combination of hyper focus and giving into the borg.
The book is actually awesome! It's sad when I see a book playthrough of a DCI line that's boring. this one bangs.
Cymbal line gettin' it!
Brendan Redler this video is evening time
Daylight between the notes is so refreshing to hear. In today's lines with everyone sounding the same (as in licks-patterns-etc.) SCV is a breath of fresh air year after year. The interplay between sections is crazy. When I marched there were lots of unison figures between sections although it did take chops to play what we played cleanly on mylar heads. I applaud today's DCI lines and love keeping up with the licks and the techniques. Thanks fort sharing.
Class, Quality, Drive. Congrats to SCV and the Rennick crew for the 4-peat.
...and 5 of the past 6...gotta love SCV
If only they won in 2015..
@@Moon-fg7co wrong group won 2015 imho.
6:32 Bless you Mr. Penland
Omg! I’m hoping that most of you noticed, like I did, that the cymbal player on the end was killing it! Tons of visuals. A great cymbal line has become a lost art form unfortunately.
Kudos for SCV for keeping it alive!
You can always tell a Rennick line. Just listen for the Tenor tuning.
Best tenor line for the last like 4/5 years easy. It’s disgusting how good this tenor line is
@@SubParHobbyistDrums - I gotta give 2019 to The Cadets. QB was something else.
And the snares aren’t canted lol
I think you mean Matt Penland
100%
SUPER CLEAN!! That bass line gave me chills! 😮💪
Cedric Buford their quality is 🔥
@@maizeorn8529 yes not too many lines are like that...
I love Rennick's writing so much, the interplay between quads and snares is beautiful
damn you deserve more recognition for putting out some of the best lot vids all summer 🤝
Anybody that claims that Vanguard’s book is not difficult probably doesn’t understand it.
Nicholas Jackson or play it with the detail that these people do, just playing through it isint enough, they have mastered every aspect of the book which makes it hard
Yeah, but specifically comparing this book to previous years, this book isn't quite as challenge. I can play and clean (for the most part) any section of the music from their book this year, but I just tried picking up their 2016 book and it almost doesn't compare chops-wise. Performance-wise obviously it does, but you get what I mean.
Any book with so many quarter notes is not a hard book. What is so difficult to understand about that?
@@maxdominate2481 read the top reply
@@maxdominate2481quarter notes don’t equate to difficulty. Eighth notes and quarter notes are lowkey some of the hardest rhythms to play perfectly clean cause they’re so easy to overlook or rush through or change your tempo and timing in. Fast rhythms and tempos are easier than slow rhythms and tempos and they get more difficult as you get better.
This is by far my favorite drum line ever. The writing is amazing and the player’s execution is undeniable incredible. They def deserved winning drums no matter what anyone says.
6:54 Cymbal line's hilarious
xnotx123 yeah that parts funny
The clarity between the sections, timing, feel, the placement of each note in the overall fabric of the battery sound is just flawless. The lines of Hannum at Cadets and Star in the late 80s and early 90s are the only ones who I have heard do it better. Serious props to them.
One of the best lines I’ve ever heard too. I was in the activity for four years and this is seriously impressive. Reminds me of early 2000s Cavaliers
Their cymbal line has always been amazing.
13:15-13:26 I can’t believe nobody reacted to that ridiculous bass solo. I would have been jumping up and down and screaming. And I’m a tenor player.
Tbh same if we weren't right behind the camera
Bass forever
The most frustrating part about watching SCV perform is how little love their drumline gets during an actual show. Basses do a 10 second solo with insane splits, nobody bats an eye. Maybe the music is just way too crazy that people don’t know how to react ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The way a lot of SCV stuff is written, the drum breaks dont feel as hype as other lines because they fit in better contextually. They'll never be as hype as like a BD drum break which is much more stylistically unique to the rest of the show. Especially if you just compare Vanguards front ensemble to the drumline, they feel like they're written as one idea instead of being seperate parts. I love both corps, dont get me wrong, but vanguard percussion feels more musical and less hype.
I'm still tryin to figure the meaning of the visual that follows ha
whew! msn, this shot of the tenor line on the left and their INCREDIBLY ACCURATE ANS PERFECTLY MATCHING STICK HEIGHT is absolutely magical. props to the snare line for keeping it tight with out a stand like everybody else….always the ones down for the pain game! snares rule, bass-lines drool…lol
Ive heard they dicuss dynamics primarily, never stick heights
The epitome of what clean is.
Insanely clean!
This is what I call Discipline,Excellence,Rythm at its core!!! These young men and cute little lady in front are a problem within the battling stage!!! They will damage their opponent, in fact they will retire opponents teachers world wide💯🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love the snare how it sounds. like you were eating something crunchy. that crispy thoooo
Beet chip.
This line is by far one of the cleanest, if not THE cleanest line, ive ever heard.
This is so freaking clean WOW
Undoubtedly some of the best video/audio of lot videos out there. Props to you guys on the amazing work!
It’s been amazing seeing all the videos....Who ever the teacher is I wanna personally thank you and your team fo blessing the drum corp world with such amazing players.... Every time I wanna here groovy clean beats SCV is my top pick... Also to the center snare man I’ve been checking you out for some time and wanna let you no you are very gifted with mad skills....To the girl on the snare line you rock and I’m looking forward to seeing you raise the bar for other wemon ! Bass and tenors lolololol You guys are on another planet you definitely are a force to be messed with .... Cymbals kick bottom very very very talented... Peace and much love and respect from your brother from another mother....
Paul & Sandy Rennick are the geniuses you are wanting to thank. They've been at SCV since 2011, Phantom Regiment before that and at University of North Texas the whole time
Also some shout out to Crown even before before Phantom in the early 00’s years. He’s been a staple and influential educator for years to a lot of kids in not only marching arts, but concert percussion as well.
Paul and Sandy Rennick thanks for sharing your beautiful talents with the world! I’m thankful wish I could meet you both...
wemon
This is so inspiring to see a female in the drum line! Especially snare! That’s my dream!
You got it. Go for it.
Go for it.
Look up 2011 phantom snare line. 2 girls that year. I marched with one of them in college. I have seen women in every section. My second-in- command tenor in high school was a girl. Your dream is attainable. Work hard.
Go tear it up, queen
Are there two or a guy with long hair? I cannot tell.
The groove with those left handed rim shots are pure poetry
Who knew 8’s could sound so good?
Very nice clean Drumline execution right on the button former member of the Long Island Sunrisers drum and bugle Corps
Man I miss being on a Rennick Line. UNT drumline 1994 - 1996.
Really good stuff here. I will always have a soft spot for SCV because they spent a couple days at my high school back in the day. Had to be about 12 or 13 years ago or so back when Huntington, WV or Charleston, WV held DCI events every Summer. This was well after my high school days though. That was a super fun weekend. Also, that girl on the snare is gorgeous. I could not take my eyes off her. Girl drummers are awesome.
Best youtube recommendation of the day!
😎
SCV's drums just have such a distinct sound. I love it!
Best drumline in the world here.
I dig the relaxed, musical technique with SCV.
Much respect for SCV keeping their cymbal line.
#CymbalLivesMatter
They were killing it! Unfortunately, cymbal lines have become a lost art form in DCI. Kudos to SCV for keeping it alive!
@@darrinthorpe9292 I have a friend who wanted to go out for Atlanta’s cymbal line but they cut it after 2019 :( I think rn it’s only Santa Clara and Southwind with cymbal lines
@@WilliamBottka out of the current corps, Vanguard, SCVC, Cascades, Columbians, Southwind, Blue Devils B, Madison Scouts, Pacific Crest, Southwind, and a few other open class corps field cymbal lines.
i love the cymbal visuals at 6:55
Holy shit now thats clean.
ok but do you need a guitar player???
Probably be the first time this line played any Wongnotes... Would be a killer collab man - please make it happen.
I’m just now seeing this a year later. This is so freaking funny, I’m a massive fan Cory. That is actually so funny to me that you commented.
So much dirt in this video...
They're standing on it.
Wheres the worst spot for you?
Fxzz OnTheBeat it’s a joke did u not read the last part of the comment
they had us in the first half not gonna lie
@@aruke what if he's joking tho 😂
Te lo sico mecco
Wow all this time and so few comments on this group of young adults?!! They are amazing!!!!!!
No forced "groove". No gimicky tapoffs and solo addins. Just standing there playing some basic exercises and perfecting a craft. Love it. Hate the uniforms though.
There's no sound in DCI like SCV
K M or troopers
@@TopDrumCorps nah
@@503music6 troopers music book is written by Paul rennick and they use pearls which sound similar as dynasty’s and they also tune them like scv. They do sound similar
@@503music6 yes they are both rennick lines
2:20 guy momentarily forgets exercise, air drums a beat, then enters right back in. Amazing recovery.
i really don’t understand some of you scv “fans”, lol. both BD and SCV deeply respect each other as Cali powerhouses, so y’all should do the same
Fidel Castro i love SCV and one of my dreams is to be on their snare line at least once before I age out (I’m 17 at the moment) but I still love BD. They’ve done some really outstanding things, as well as Mr. Rennick and his group. Props to both groups.
@@iangillies711 Well dang, me too bro! I truly respect both band (also with the other band) and all the drummer around the world! If you want to join them in the future we might meet each other there!
Fidel Castro as a coats and SCV fan, I still respect devils, I respect the ever living shit out of them, I just personally dislike a lot of their material and definitely hold a bit of salt to their near constant success and domination (which in some cases is a little less warranted than what they get)
@@captainkiwi77 this perfectly encapsulates how I feel, thank you dude
Ian Gillies I also plan to in a couple years , see you there bud
God this whole line is perfectly tuned
6:50 omg that split
Cymbals are badass!!
sixteen minutes and forty seconds of amazing!
i'd love if they had just one cymbal dude holding it down
Eric Olander 😂😂😂😂
And if he/she actually just stood by the podium and played from there
No disrespect but the cleanliness of this line reminds me of BD's 1994 line.
Again, no disrespect to either corps. It just popped to mind while listening.
Mmm those eights are so perfect it’s almost scary
Unclear how I arrived here, but this is the sickest shit I’ve seen in a long time thank you for posting it. Can anyone point me to their show from that season?
Search "Santa Clara Vanguard 2019", there should be videos of their show
THIS is better than the hot mess that was their show.. sorry.

@@Uncle_Yam Good ear. And thank you for the appreciation :)
Cameron Cavender WOAH YOURE ACTUALLY HIM
@@dough_364 i am just a mirage
amazing mate!!!!!!!
Anyone knows the tuning interval for the tenor and the bass? Much appreciated
I've found that his basses are usually tuned to C G C E G
@@ben_ivey that's from bottom to top bass? Thanks man!
@@budihartanto85 Yeah, those intervals ring together really well (it's a big C major chord). You gotta have the drum sizes right too for some of those notes. I can get a 28" bottom bass to the low C, but I can't get a 20" bass 1 up to a high G at all... I just use C G C E on my drumline. I have a "piano" app on my phone and get the note in my ear as I'm tuning, and then get somebody to hit both the bottom drums together to see if that C - G interval is solid.
Bass tuning is C - G - C - F - Ab. Basically a C power chord on bottom with a 2nd inversion F minor chord on top.
Ka budeh
Wish I could show my kids in my intro to percussion powerpoint! Please allow access to share on other platforms. Educators will appreciate
I hate how Paul's lines are always does clean all year and dci scores dirty ass lines up with them.
Idk how bd beat scv on finals night but scv definitely deserved the drum title for an entire season of perfection and not just one night
Deven Jenkins ask Jeff prosperie, he is more knowledgeable than you
drmnez yea totally because hours , hard work and improvement doesn’t matter at the end where it’s more important. You shouldn’t judge lines especially since you didn’t put in those hours and time
Most years BD has difficult content that takes all the way up to finals to clean. Many judges early season will say things on tapes to the effect of "Man, really cool stuff! Definitely a contender...once it's clean."
Especially this year, they were playing some really demanding material, and if it was clean finals night, most judges would put them up. Look at multiple recaps from earlier and you'll consistently see BD having higher content scores but lower achievement scores (Clarity) It wasn't just randomly at the end, but most of the season SCV was def cleaner. SCV's front was absolutely insane too, that really did it for them tbh
@@nickniehaus1763 Not to hate, but I doubt he's more knowledgeable than Frank Oddis (my former percussion professor in college) or J.J. Pipitone (a fellow alum.) I disagree with Prosperie's decision but what's done is done.
#respect! So good. So so good. Congrats on a great season.
While we know that Vanguard doesn't really care about visual uniformity of technique that much in the snareline, why does it look like the three consecutive snare drummers on the center's right aren't making an effort to apply the same pulse accent tap to the singles at the end of the snare break while everyone else is?
I notice snares get away with stuff like this as in 2014 with the alternating flam-flams at the end of the percussion feature, most of the snares couldn't pull the heights off in a way to make it appear as clean alternating flams. At the end of the day they sounded clean because they pulled off the flam sound together, but most did not physically pull off alternating flams like the center did.
I've always been curious to know if judges notice things like that or if it's so minor that's it's not worth factoring in as long as it's clean to listen to.
From up in the box, it’s too small to see and hear, they really base it off cleanliness and sound quality
Is nobody gonna laugh about the cymbals at 6:54 😂
9:32 they had to arrest someone because it’s illegal to be that clean
Dynasty carriers are best suited for 200 pound linebackers.
Why are two of these snares like 11 feet tall?
And why did they put the short girl right next to big man 😂
Playing ability and timing/sound quality etc
Funky stuff starts after quad break at 6:50
Is that Marty McFly? (Centre Snare)
What's NOT to like???
go_go_go...Congrats to V"
Does anybody know the name of the warm up at 2:18
Ayrion Ross timing 11
hey 6am, great video. One thing first Everyone talks about Petty's wins, Pearson's talent, what Davey "could" have done, Gordon or Johnson was the greatest, or may even claim Earnhardt's domination was unequaled, but if you had lived during the late 60's, you would all agree that that's all just a bunch of BS and wishful thinking. Truth is.....LeeRoy was the man!!!
Max Verstappen is the true champion
@@6AMFilms Max Verstappen finna win this year ez. Ferrari actually are so bad
Wish I knew what camera this was recorded with 😭
During the warmups, why is the count-off at a faster tempo than the actual exercise? Seems to defeat the purpose?
It’s not and it’s not supposed to be
2:18 doop doop dooooo
Does anyone know the tenor drum tuning they use
They tune the tenors
Alex Garcia from what I can tell on quad cam videos from this year, it’s Spock-Ab, 1-F, 2-Db, 3-B, 4-Eb.
I would kill for a Rennick Harloff corps
3:12 is when the show starts
Is this music? Is it a sport? Is it both?
Yea It’s music😂 they are definitely playing music. It’s not a true sport but it’s still very mental and physical. It’s a performance art
It’s both, welcome to drum corps.
Wow! Fan-freakin’-tactic!
Who won this year?
Is there a snare transcription for the exercise at 2:14
Trieu Tan its a triplet timing grid, there’s TONS out there on the net. get the troopers dbc audition packet and it has exercises like that and more SCV ish ones it’s only like 15 bucks
what kind of carriers do they use? are they not pearl?
They use Dynasty carriers and drums
14:20 good recovery!
Nobody messed up
@@drummersnare6276 Exactly 👌
?
14:58 McNutt Special
No no. In the mcnutt special, you play it at FFF instead of having dynamics
3:49
2:18 oof
Question.... The exercise they do at the 2:50 mark is clean. However, if you look all down the line and even with tenors their legs are all over the place. If it's so hard to mark time to certain rythyms/warm ups then why doesn't either the staff correct it, or they just stop? I'm not trying to attack anyone, and I see it with other lines too. Blue devils was all over the place in one of their videos from this year. Again, no shade thrown, just asking....
I know I'm late, but the way Paul teaches (at least from what I've seen/heard), he doesn't care too much about individual playing technique as long as the sound quality matches, so I assume that extends to marking time. It seems like everyone uses different parts of their feet to feel the beat, but when they do hit it's together on impact, just not visually.

you BD haters crack me up...19 titles & lots of drum titles...& when is the last time BD has been in 3rd place?...hmmmm...no disrespects to SCV...this drumline is unbelievable!!! & I do mean this...but talking junk about a Corp that has 19 titles does absolutely nothing...it's just continues to crack me up every time people hate...
it's differences in approaches. bd is brash and chop heavy. scv is more poised and musical. both are insanely talented and achieve at the highest levels. they just carry themselves differently and sometimes bd rubs people the wrong way.
I understand what you are saying Ben...
Ben Brandhorst BD is the example of class in this activity. If someone is rubbed the wrong way by them, that is the individuals fault. Likely because they tired of BD winning.
Instead of shitting on BD look at why they do what they do and why they have 19 titles then look at your corps and you'll see that BD has a culture like no other that quite literally breeds perfection. I have mad respect for all drum corps but dont shit on then for their hard work
Those harnesses look really uncomfortable
I’d say they are actually more comfortable than Yamaha. They let you breathe more, have more padding and don’t have the snnoying back brace
I like their beats I just don't like the drums they use. More specifically the older style of harnesses it sounds pretty good.
Why don’t u like their drums? Also dynasty builds the harnesses like that because their is less parts and they don’t really ever loose bolts or break harnesses like Yamaha carriers
@@TopDrumCorps I just don't really like how the harnesses look. I've heard that dynasty drums are heavier than most drums and it would be cool if they had two spock's on the tenors.
Dynasty harness 🤮🤮🤮
Luke Cullen dynasty drums❤️❤️
Yee Haw dynasty drums, pretty good looking,😍 the harness tho🤮
Luke Cullen we use dynasty’s, the carriers look way funky but they don’t actually feel funky. They also last longer than Yamahas.
Luke Cullen tama harnesses look hideous
Easy writing. It better be clean.
It’s not as easy as it seems, the rhythms may not be crazy but the dynamic and timbre usage makes it very difficult. It’s not just about clean, which to be honest there are some iffy spots but it’s still far better than any other corp consistently
2:14 2:16 2:18
Why is the playing so slow?
Because it sounds better slower?
@@cainmunns231 ...or because they can't play a hard book fast with the current line up?

@@mang058 - Go look at the lines from the 1980-1990 and you'll see that playing with a line and marching doesn't require that you play slowly.
8 BD drumline members dislike this video
I asked eight BD drumline members while they was polishing their 2019 gold medals, they have no idea what you are talking about.
My _goodness_ they sound good, but the beauty of drumline isn't just in the quality of sound; it's also in the quality of the visual. Sound and sight _together._ I _REALLY_ want those snares to be aesthetically lined up vertically. Yeah, I get each playing-surface is nicely proportionate to each the player's natural playing-positions, but I don't care. It can be done. Check out my 2002 Cadets snareline. (I was the timpanist.)
ua-cam.com/video/FCMl_XrGiTA/v-deo.html
Look at Tiny Heidi here standing next to Tall Paul. Their drum-heights are _precisely_ the same measurement to the ground. I watched Heidi's face when the snare tech jacked up her drum. She did _NOT_ like it, but _whatever;_ together as a line, it looks super handsome. Plus, watching her play here, it doesn't look like she's having _too_ difficult a time ramming out the book that went on to win the 2002 High Percussion Award. Even with a jacked-up playing surface, I'd say she was just fine. _Also_ look at Tall Paul's playing surface; his a bit on the _low_ side. They compensated. Paul doesn't look like he's having too difficult a time either ramming out the same book.
_It can be done._
Psychologically, sitting in front of a drumline that _looks_ good is just a better experience than sitting in front of a drumline that looks like a collection of broken pistons.
(Though you might say, "But this SCV line is cleaner than that 2002 Cadets line,
so maybe individual playing-surface-comfortability contributes to a cleaner sound."
Mmmm.....I think each of these SCV drummers is so _ludicrously talented_ that having their playing-surface be adjusted a little higher or lower wouldn't phase them one bit. It didn't for Heidi and Paul 😉 )
i don't think they're gonna change anything just because of a youtube comment
@@mang058 I agree.
@@MeowfaceMusic then what was the point of that novel
@@TopDrumCorps Based on your wording, I presume you think I have contradicted myself. Hmm, read it again.
@@MeowfaceMusic the height of the playing surface would absolutely dictate their sound quality. “They are talented so they can play on a higher or lower than natural surface” is one of the most vague things Iver ever heard. If you knew anything about how Paul teaches you wouldn’t have said that
