16:39 ugh those shots

Digging in.. good assessment. Alot of the rolls back then were "sticked"... Mostly for volume sake. Love the appreciation you both have.

yo they played for 12 minutes straight and it was all great. wow

Great episode!

Such a great conversation! So insightful on a culture that, like you guys, I knew existed but didn’t have much exposure to. Keep doing God’s work 💪 y’all have a Merry Christmas!

Proud of this dude, Shawn was my first percussion instructor when I started at Bethel High School and he laid the foundation for the Drumline as it is today. And his work with the Drumline influenced the band as a whole. I attribute the quality and success of my band program to the example set by Shawn and the percussion students during the years he worked for me.

I'm late on seeing this, but I'm the director at Bethel High School, the host of the competition where MD is doing an exhibition in this video. You should check out all the great lines in our competition and, of course, the INCREDIBLE Bethel "Stick and Groove" Drumline.

This is a great and much needed convo! I'd love to see you all cover North Carolina Central Univ's "DOA" section. While Norfolk and A&T are rivals, NCCU and A&T literally hate each other and are only 45 mins apart. Similar styles, but differing approaches to their musical interpretations.

Loving that HBCU drum lines are getting love for sure

This is probably the soundest snare drumline in the DCI. All the snare drummers demonstrate EXCELLENT basic technique--which reduces the risk of developing severe neurological injuries in the arms. Practically all the other DCI snare drumlines I have seen have poor basic technique: poor grips, poor motion, etc. If I was a DCI judge, I would disqualify nearly all the corps in DCI because the snare drumlines are trained in a way that greatly increases the risk of repetitive motion disorders. This is the ONLY DCI snare drumline that does it right. I am the Ghost Drummer of New York--and if you are a DCI snare drummer, you trace your lineage to me through my students. I know what I'm talking about. I sincerely hope these snare drummers become drum instructors.

Great video! Looking forward to all you guys doing a reaction video together.

Love it! Please keep exploring this. I grew up going to Alabama State games as my father was an alumni. Years later I marched Spirit (drummer) and now serve in leadership so you never know where it can lead you. Would love to see comparisons and contrasts of different groups to learn more about the styles.

You guys should check out war and thunder Drumline it’s a very unique style a drumming that involves a very of a funky feel

Ayyyyy that’s my rookie brother! Behold!!

Thanks so much for doing this! I love hearing about this style of drumline too.

Please bring on Jake Gall!!

Awesome vid fellas! My name is Alex Blake. I would love to also possibly help shed some light on the differences between the HBCU culture (Showstyle) and Drumcorps culture. I actually attended and marched at Norfolk State on tenors and with Shawn while we were in school and I also marched drumcorps for 10 years starting in 2000. My last couple of years I marched tenors at Boston in 07 and Blue Devils in 08, and 09 when we got an Undefeated corps and Drum title. I have a pretty large spectrum in understanding the merge of both worlds in my life. I think its awesome that you two have been so willing to tap into understanding what the showstyle community brings to the "drumline world".

I'll never forget when Hampton University stopped at Morehead for a rehearsal day on the way to an away game somewhere in the late 90's. A bunch of us hung out and watch them rehearse and had a blast watching them do what they do. We were totally hyping on it.

Salute to MDFS and Aged Out. A lot of good knowledge dropped in this conversation.

Like I tell folks all the time HBCU percussion is modern day martial arts with drums. If you watch old martial arts flicks with the various practitioners engaging in different styles of defense from Iron fist, eagle claw, drunken master, tai chi, wing chun, Mantis, Jeet Kune Do….. this is identical to HBCU percussion. The drums, mallets and cymbals are basically weapons on display with sounds and movements and sticking to show their way of force or musicality. Like the styles of defense vary in different regions in Asia it’s exactly like that in this culture. You go a state over they have the same nomenclature of drums but sound different ie: MDFS and Cold Steel. But you go a whole region over they may practice something totally different and sound totally different. The grooves are different, the sticking is different, the movements are different and presentations are different and can be influenced by a host of different things for example. A lot of the Florida HBCU bands have members of Caribbean decent who have attended the institution and bring cultural influences from the Bahamas, Cuba or Jamaica. You can hear the island influences in their literature by tuning of the drums to mimic or have the essence of a steel pan for their quad players . Regions definitely a huge influence in the culture.

Bro is dope fasho!💯

I feel like DCI and WGI could use a bit more "invoke emotion" and a bit less spandex and eyeliner. Change is all well and good, but tradition and great shows are just as important.

Thank you for this! Shawn is a pillar in our community and deserves this! Incredible conversation about different percussion cultures!! Shoutout to Aged Out!
