Hello. Hopefully this video will help you understand the various Tahitian drumming techniques, ruclips.net/video/yXp-IvdrNSY/видео.htmlsi=9FMzsEQqbijQQiTv

Nice job dude. One tip: Make sure when you are doing your sweeps you are moving the stick straight down. You should just approach the drum straight down instead of at an angle. Good job though 👍

Hey man! Love your channel! But I have a question… What is the stand that your using for the pad called?

I wonder if one of the snare drummers from that year will share some of their perspective

My school tener only has 5 drums will it work the same

Necro-beasty-ality necro-beasty-ality😂

This is gonna help a lot thanks!

Hey, here again! This show made my latest video of "Awesome drill, vol. 1". Some of the coolest, most well executed drill I've ever seen.

dci kind of did it to themselves. before there was dci, drum corps finals were broadcast live, for free, on public television. local drum corps marched in parades and did halftime shows for local football games. there was lots of public exposure for the activity. dci killed all of that, and it became an underground activity.

willing to bet its because of the band kid stigma and the fact that most people never became aware of(nor cared to) what competitive marching bands actually did, or about DCI as a concept remember, half of these people are the ones who made fun of band kids when they themselves were in high school

Haven't marched in years. Came across some snare sheet music from this era that I'm trying to learn. Thanks for the tips!! Great video

WAS THIS IN VAITAPE? STAYED T THE FOUR SEASONS?

OROORO FOR LIFE!!!

Absolute masterpiece disign of a show, very high demanding! one of my favorites :D

It looks like their doing a double drum but using alternating heights of the drumstick (one at center and one slightly higher. cadence going top tap, middle tap with a quick forward flick with their wrist to create a quick double drum immediatley after

brother please make a video for 2024 pulse percussion tenor feature

very helpfull and clearly to learn - thanks you master

Hey brother! This is a great homage to an amazing year. I am a FMM ‘90-‘92, and I saw you guys as gods compared to what we did.

The only time I can say marching in drum corps is actually a good thing is if you apply to something that relates to it. For instance, the new band director at my old high school, according to the “About the Director” page on the band’s website, marched trumpet in Atlanta CV. (Yes I know it’s not a DCI corps, but it still applies)

9:31-9:41 end of discussion.

LOL this is very very accurate. I also remember when I told somebody that I marched Drum corps, their immediate response was "oh, I used to play the piano" or "oh, you play drums? Could you play a rap beat?" The world outside of Drum Corps can be very annoying with the stupid questions and answers.

Necro . . . LMFAO!

i’m a percussionist and a tahitian drummer. i play the fa’atete mostly (the one you play with two drumsticks) but trying to pick up toere. i can confirm no one really knows how to explain that technique and ive been around this my whole life 😂 it’s more of trial and error and trying to figure out what works best for you. it takes years of practice to master. i’ll let you know if i ever get it 😂

Tahitian drumming is quite technical, takes much after the cookislands as they took many of their beats and used it in their own style, best example is their use of Hitoto, is actually a cookisland beat called. mangungu of manihiki when the storm hit the island. Manihiki an island of cookislands, orginate the one hand technique, and use the takute a high pitched pate, and one holds the beat and others tangaro, or oro as tahitians would say. And that particular style use the tin drum and pau mango. They pe'e in between beats which are chants and calls, pehe in tahiti are the actual beat. In tahiti they call a pehe hitoto but that's actually the pe'e not the name of the beat. Southern style are the most technical style. Have 3 parts, one holds the main beat, the other goes in between the beat and the last one mixes the beat using a Tangaro technique, we use two hands in this style backed with our tikita player who also unites the entire drum line with a constant flurry of hits. This system was adopetd by Tahiti in their own way. A litte different but their interpretation of.

You're awesome 😂

Well your first mistake was applying at Initrode. Initech is a far superior company.

So music is useless in the job market then.

What mallets are those

I'm a psych mental health RN and one of my patients was admitted for bipolar I, current episode. I found out he marched DCI and I was his biggest fan! We talked for hours about his marching days with the Cadets and my mediocre college marching days. I bragged to all the staff that he marched Drum Corps and they were all like "meh". I gave him the best care. Awesome video by the way!

I believe the rudiment is called a “Swiss triplet”. There’s an additional part you can play that creates a “3 part harmony.”

Hello! Thought I’d join in on the fun since theres not many people out there that have both Tahitian drumming experience as well as Marching Percussion, done at a high level. Ive done and still do tahitian drumming for just about 30 years now and have been involved with Marching Percussion for the last 20 years in one shape or form. If you want to know more, how each drum/ each part all work together, different time signatures and polyrhythms being played, im an open book. Im definitely not calling myself a drum master in no shape or form, but knowledgable in both worlds to make things make sense for us marching percussion guys. Feel free to check out my group To’erau Manu Rahi here on youtube, got quite a but of content up. If you’re up for an educated conversation about this, i’m here for it!

Man that's so cool that you appreciate our culture and music. The A and B toma that was presented is kind of the basics. I like to compare it to lifting weights. You don't just start bench pressing 350. You start at your weight capacity and slowly get stronger and add weight. With this drumming you start with the A and B at your speed and slowly pick up speed when you can handle it. Just like weights it takes months and years to increase the speed little by little. Tahitian drumming mentality is a bit different then other types of drums where you look for certain hand movements or bounces. Tahitians will tell you that there is no secret. You hit what you hear and that's it. The "whip" isn't something you search for but happens naturally as speed increases. That's why many drummers have different whips or even some have no whip at all. But each clear clean and powerful

When you come to tahiti to learn drums it's not for just a few minutes or ours. It's important to know the different instruments and where they're from ( like those big Pa'u from marquesas islands). Every drumming compositions are named "Pehe", those pehe are composed between a lots of different rythmic base pattern. Each rythmic patterns have a name. It's very important to know them and how to reproduce it on drums. For toere section, its always a bunch of two or three people. So every base pattern are divided in 3 part, each dude play his part. The " muri" wich can be translated by "behind", the " ropu" as middle , and " mua" as ahead. Each rhythm is syncopated in relation to the next. The ropu is the base pattern and as indicated by his name the muri will be hit after the ropu and mua before the ropu wich will create this effect of infinite roll. Before doing the oro oro technic it's more important to hit the drum straight first. Oro oro is cool but doing it with others are far more difficult to master 😁. Come visit us between the period of may and july, you could see a lots of rehearsals of dance groups with drums. Sorry my english is not great but I needed to share my love for my culture 😁 maururu roa from Tahiti! Nana!😁🤙

Come to Hawaii to learn it. Cheaper and the drummers here speak English and can show you how to do it lol

Takes years to master the wiggle technique. That’s why they told you to learn the basics first. First learn to bounce dead on straight, but that wiggle technique took me years to get down.

Heya!! Just dropping by and showing some love! Get in touch and we can talk more about Tahitian Drumming

It's a technique we call a whip. We play different parts that sync together to give you the Oro Oro sound. But not everyone plays the "whip" style. It takes a lot of practice to master. But they are correct in teaching you to hit the toere straight on. Gotta learn to walk before you run.

same goes these days if you earn Eagle Scout...the ONLY people who really take note of that is the military recruiters..you get automatic E-3 rank while IN Boot camp...happened to me...As far as marching band..it put me in the Recruit Drum and Bugle Corp in Boot Camp...got me out of lot of extra duties....As far as DCI or any Drum Corp...the "real " world does NOT care....I did NOT do DCI...cost tooooooo much !!!!

OMG that's me at 3:09

When I was looking for a Tahitian drumming class in Oahu, I knew I found my teacher when he did that technique. He gave me pointers on how to practice it. He makes it look so easy! In the meantime, I will keep trying 😅

What a downer video, however, I understand the irony but not the cynicism. Over the 50+ years I've been involved in the marching arts, I really mean DCI, I run into fewer and fewer people who don't know what DCI or WGI is. And with youtube and whatnot, it's easy to display how marching arts are a great addition to a resume in any field.

If companies actually knew the level of competency needed to march DCI, especially in a top corps, they'd have recruitment booths lined up at every show fighting over the talent.

Had the amount of rain be less present throughout the season, giving you more time to perfect the drill. Do you think you'd be able to topple BD that year?

The world doesn't care someone does anything.

Hey, there are worse ways to waste your youth!!!

FIRE

This is how people react when I try to tell them about drumcorps in general, lots of yawning/eye rolling.

Honestly, I always thought it was just a flam attack but I'm a horn player so yeah. Also, I do this whenever one of my illusions has a tiny issue that I notice on playback that nobody else noticed during my show. It's the worst. Perfectionists, unite!

Haha sorry to say it but they be like "appropriate someone else's cultural heritage, whitie" 😂
