I probably wouldn’t be alive without this movie; inspired me to do drumline, and in turn pulled me out of my depression rut, and led me to some of my best friends of just about a decade.
As someone who found their close friends through Scouting but knows a bit about band: You'll never find a weirder group of people... Who will readily accept you as long as you're being your own true, weird self!
The movie theater was beyond lit when this movie dropped. You could literally just walk in to see any other movie you wanted because all the people and security were in the area of Drumline
@@Twister6424 it was more of a joke but actually I was a "jock" here in Texas. Got a state championship, all state team and then played college ball here as well. Don't take jokes too seriously!
@@carlosgutierrez2789 Fair enough...it's hard to read tone on a youtube post. If we were talking face to face you would see that I would have said that with a smile. When I was growing up, if you weren't in football or football related, you were a second class citizen in high school. That's why I said what I did. No football player would have traded their "status" for a band member. But all good, I assumed we were all joking.
It’s funny when you watch this movie for the first time as a kid, and you think “wow this is awesome” you spend the next few years playing drums and joining marching band, then you come back and watch this and it just pisses you off 😂
Wuden PC It’s mostly just the technique they use. In marching band or any kind of marching percussion they teach us technique the same way they teach professional marching drum corps. If you look at how high they raise the sticks, it’s almost all different, it just looks really sloppy to me especially. If you look up some videos of DCI drum lines, it’s almost like they’re all the same person. If everyone plays the same way the whole drumline gets a loud, clean, consistent sound. The basses are my biggest problem because they raise their mallets above the drum to play which is probably the worst technique I’ve ever seen in my life. All the people in my high school drumline, students and instructors, hate the way they play in the movie because of how inaccurate it is. There’s even a video by EMC productions who remade this scene but “clean version”, so it is not praised for proper depiction of drum lines among the community. Hope I cleared up any confusion 👍
@Wuden PC It may not be your cup of tea, but I would definitely recommend checking out a performance by an actual DCI group to truly see what an elite marching core looks like.
My school did this before this movie. When the stands are shaking so bad that you think they are going to fall down because the band has everyone so hyped you have did your job.
When I first seen this as a kid when I was like 8-10 years old, it made want to play the snare SOOOO bad. Until I seen a school marching band in person for the first time….. nah. 😂😂😂
Shiet my HS line had 5 or 6 snares, 3 or 4 quads, and 5 basses. Snares and quad player count varied based on yearly auditions and who they felt like made the cut to be battery vs pit. But this movie is just wild. They just giving everyone that breathes a drum
I'm a Vietnam war era veteran and checking out Nick Cannon drum line crew it sound exactly like M16 automatic assault weapons, and the bass drum sound like tanks shooters with the brass section sound like hand grenade fragments exploding in the distance of battle field weapons war. This was an awesome scenario of war action weapon sound.
Thank you sir for your service hope you have a blessed life my father was also in that war he got killed in his first 3 months i only got stories of him from my mom and uncle
I know I'm late to the comment party but your comment reminds me of the time I was on a training exercise with SF students. We set up a linear ambush on a convoy and I had an M16A1 rifle. The SF guys all had M16A2 rifles with 3-round burst. On signal, we all started pouring in fire. My rifle would empty a 30-round magazine in about 3 seconds while the A2's couldn't keep up (of course). One of the SF guys said, "Effin' A1's!" Guys were asking to 'borrow' my rifle on other assaults! LOL
I love how in the end they dropped their sticks on the drums basically declaring their drums weren't even worth playing. A callback to the opponents when they played on theirs ("look I can play yours better then you")
as someone who’s been in battery for 3 years i say DO ITTTTT!!!!! yea it’s hard sometimes but if you know how to count well and know how to hit at the right time you’ll fit in just fine mamas lmao
What blows my mind is that Nick Cannon, who can hold his own as an actor with anyone, really never did another good film, while Zoe Saldana went on to conquer Hollywood.
Bro, back in 2009 of My high school years, I was the main guy for a Brazilian Samba band project! This film reminds Me of them times! This movie is like Gridiron Gang being a drumming high school band! 😁
Well, I guess dropping your sticks over the opposing band's drums is less disrespectful than playing on them? (is confused) I thought it would be more reason to get upset. scuffing up those drums like that AND they did it with the good sticks too lol
@@buffysaviation Yeah, the skin part of it but what about the metal? They still have to be shined and well kept. I wouldn't put it that way. I worked in a school with students having behaviors and they beat those drums into rubble.
The people in the comment section ignorant about this movie. These are real band members and bands playing in this movie. There aren't many actors. I know for a fact cause my band was asked to be in the movie. All these so called people in the comments section bashing these bands couldnt hold a torch to most of the people playing in this movie.
My son told me… Mom. I love you. But… if you turn on this movie 27 time I throw out you and movie and video player all together 😂😂😂. Love that movie ❤❤❤
+Kate J Imagine your basic band camp, but it is ongoing every day for 2.5 months throughout the summer. It's a grueling experience, but you meet the best friends of your life. You also put out an amazing performance that, looking back on it today, still can't believe I did.
+Kate J you just have to audition for it. Auditions occur in the fall and you have to make sure you can play and march pretty well. Depending on which group you plan to audition for, some may be harder or easier than others. If you treat it seriously, you've got a good shot to get in. If you enjoy marching band and want to take it to the highest level, you owe it to yourself to try out for a corps.
I grew up in Atlanta and went to the Battle of the Bands. It was awesome to see and was the best day until someone decided to throw fireworks into the crowd. Love this movie....the sequel...not so much.
This movie is the reason I joined the band hell I was even lucky enough to be on the drumline to play snare. Such a great movie
I love snare, it’s my favorite type of drum to play 😊
Jesus Christ loves you
No me gusto que tocan etc...

Because the people were black
Yes and this is apart of history
15 years later this still gets me hype!
Its 20 years bro
Movie was made in 2000's
This movie was so good it made us jocks want to be in the band instead of on the court/field lol
Omegalul “us”
yeah...sorry Carlos, but you clearly weren't a jock in Texas...

Percussion is something I fell in love with in sixth grade and now I can’t get enough of it 😍😅😌
Jesus Christ loves you
For me four years old haven't stopped playing since
I’m just starting to get into percussion and I love it
It’s funny when you watch this movie for the first time as a kid, and you think “wow this is awesome” you spend the next few years playing drums and joining marching band, then you come back and watch this and it just pisses you off 😂
Facts
Could you explain, im not in a marching band

Hey, thanks mate for explaining. My curiosity has been staisfied.
@Wuden PC It may not be your cup of tea, but I would definitely recommend checking out a performance by an actual DCI group to truly see what an elite marching core looks like.
nothing beats being on a drum line YEARS later I'm still tapping out rhythms and making beats. gosh I miss it 🥰
No me gusto que tocan etc...
1:20 after more than 10 years of having this movie watched, I just noticed those quad drummers passing sticks LOL
This movie was cinematically ahead of its time. Actual percussion wise, not so much lol but still a great movie!!
My school did this before this movie. When the stands are shaking so bad that you think they are going to fall down because the band has everyone so hyped you have did your job.
I love this movie also
I remember my boys and I always wanting to watch this movie ALL OF THE TIME on DVD. Now they're grown😍😍😍
1:32 That rising beat sounds so intense. The kind that should be in more action movies.
After that concluding last note hits......silence. Pure adrenaline laced.....silence. Music is powerful.
This scene. First song so good. Go Devon!
@Dylan Mitvalsky so if someone thinks its good its because they know how to play? Huh
Jesus Christ loves you
When I first seen this as a kid when I was like 8-10 years old, it made want to play the snare SOOOO bad. Until I seen a school marching band in person for the first time….. nah. 😂😂😂
Love how the drumming goes with their steps to. So good
I thought they was gonna say it was a tie we gonna have to take this too the streets and let them DRUM IT OUT 😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭😂
😂😂😂😂 Straight streets.😂😂😂
0:58
If you look at the girl at the back u can see she pulls out sticks from mid air
Darksdude_ YTB bruh you’re right 😂
If you slow the video to .25 the speed you can see that the sticks are attached to her wrists via a strap and are being hidden on her forearms.
Blackbert Inc good eye mate😂😂
If you pay attention to the back you can see that they put the sticks underneath their arms to do a hand gesture lol
She had them up her sleeve bruh lol.
That tenor solo was insane 0:35
it’s just sixtuplets on drum 1 and 2 over and over alternating sticking
That’s quads not tenors
@@Newgate-_-JJquads ARE tenors. Tenors are the technical name for the instrument, and can be used to describe quads or quints
This will never get old
whats inaccurate about this movie is that i have never seen a percussion section this big
my high school drumline has seven in each section except only 4 quads and its a large drumline, but this is twice the size.
@@zacharybaker770 bruh my drumline only got liek 1 quad, 3 snares, and 3 basses and a cymbal oof
Oh I have. And they're really good
Shiet my HS line had 5 or 6 snares, 3 or 4 quads, and 5 basses. Snares and quad player count varied based on yearly auditions and who they felt like made the cut to be battery vs pit.

The movie that turned band geeks into jocks. Kind of like how Revenge of the Nerds made it cool to be a nerd in the 80s.
0:43-0:49 is the shit!!!!!!!!
I just love this movie
I need this move
thumbnail is sooooo creepy
Right?
I love the cymbal echoing the drum in the beginning.
This is one of my all time faves and s great debut for Nick Cannon
This move was one of the best movies I’ve seen. Definitely in my top 10!
*Me wanting to join the drum line but knowing I’m not going to commit to it*

Still gives me chills
This scene still gives me goosebumps ❤
It's amazingly powerful when all these drummers do their piece that makes up the whole works.Inspiring and very captive movie welldone❤
I kinda enjoyed this more than the Sequel, Dani was in 1st Grade while Devon was making a name for himself at A&T !!!
The sequel is complete garbage
Thos were also never her hands drumming, she danced a lot with the sticks tho
@@TylerDunphy They should have NEVER made a sequel.
@@33danally indeed
You joined the band after watching this movie and you're still playing I adore the hell out of you
I used to be part of percussion band.. This movie really inspire me. ❤❤
0:00 - 0:25 I like how the brought the sound down and then the brought it back up again👏🏾
Bro, back in 2009 of My high school years, I was the main guy for a Brazilian Samba band project!
This film reminds Me of them times!
This movie is like Gridiron Gang being a drumming high school band! 😁
the drummers from our band at school watched this movie to help them improve! ✨✨✨
I do not recommend using this to improve. Their drumming was awful. Great movie though
Didnt walking up to the other Drum Section disrespecting them get your asses beat the last time A&T???
Still haven't learned I guess...LoL
LouLou3t I'm
Well, I guess dropping your sticks over the opposing band's drums is less disrespectful than playing on them? (is confused) I thought it would be more reason to get upset. scuffing up those drums like that AND they did it with the good sticks too lol
Did you not see the scene before this one? Morris Brown went over to them and started playing on their drums.
@@G1manime it won’t scuff up the drums or the sticks, percussion equipment is meant to be beat, it can take a simple stick drop
@@buffysaviation Yeah, the skin part of it but what about the metal? They still have to be shined and well kept. I wouldn't put it that way. I worked in a school with students having behaviors and they beat those drums into rubble.
1:11 When you’re contemplating why you didn’t go for the more complex routine at band practice!!
The people in the comment section ignorant about this movie. These are real band members and bands playing in this movie. There aren't many actors. I know for a fact cause my band was asked to be in the movie. All these so called people in the comments section bashing these bands couldnt hold a torch to most of the people playing in this movie.
Only 4 was actors. The rest was real drummers
This movie always made me miss being in band. It was my happy place. 😊
I remember watching this Drumline movie when I was a kid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My son told me… Mom. I love you. But… if you turn on this movie 27 time I throw out you and movie and video player all together 😂😂😂. Love that movie ❤❤❤
ONE BAND ONE SOUND WE VOTE WE WIN.💎💎💎💎💎💎👑
30yrs old and this scene still get me lit
This is one of my favorite movies that it even made me even better at drumming
No me gusto que tocan etc...
Imagine if Dr. Lee and Coach Carter teamed up to form a super band basketball team
They even have a tournament arc.
Beyond Classic!
Looks like someone just... got... served.... Oh yeaaahhhh 😎😎😎😎
Loving them 8th grade beats! lol
I can't be the only one who heard the Mortal Kombat theme 0:41
Yoooooo. I heard it too
Morris brown looked so defeated when they pulled out them 2nd sticks 😂😂
Looking at the MB dancing girls I’d be hard pressed to be depressed…those are(was) some fine azz females! Choice each and every one
Great movie, and a perfect ending that was well, welcomed and deserved, Thank you.
Yoooo 1:26 kills me everytime 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 look at nick cannon sticks lol 😂
lazy hands
Killed those drums ❤loved this movie. It was an enjoyment to watch !!
1:39 that was hella funny for some reason
as a kid this is the best thing you ever seen, it’s so easy being in band later😂
Great movie. Them guys can drum!
Reminds me of Eastside High School in Paterson NJ. Mighty orange and blue
I took a golf scholorship at an HBCU Just because of this movie. I am asian and it was not a let down.
This is the drumiest drum beat down ever. So drumalicious.
i love this movie
I always love how they look at each other as Free announced the winner 😭 @2:04
For all us competitive drum corp droids this movie was great!
I always get teary watching this lol so much feeeeeeling 😭😭😭 I love it
It's crazy how I saw Mr riles on the line in this scene ✊🏿
Everytime I see this movie I get so happy
I never noticed that they all hit Devins solo together.
Little tribute to him cause he’s the best they got
2019 anyone🍎
I'm no percussion expert (brass guy) but I much preferred Morris Brown's repertoire. Maybe because I marched in a corps and that's what I'm used to.
Cool beans! What's it like?

Someone understood the assignment! U make drum line look like dumb line!!!😂❤
My man third from the left (shorter guy) was FEELING it 🤣
I grew up in Atlanta and went to the Battle of the Bands. It was awesome to see and was the best day until someone decided to throw fireworks into the crowd. Love this movie....the sequel...not so much.
Exception . Worth it
Nick Cannon had everyone wanting to join band in high school 😭
LOOK AT THE CGI CROWD GO!!! WOOOOHHHH!!!
It's actually a real crowd the competition they're at is a real battle of the bands that happens every year
1:47 pause 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
was not dissappointed LOL!!!
Wow!!! Outstanding!
Alternate ending: The entire A&T Line gets smacked with Morris Brown's drums
this movie is amazing
I think it's Nick's goal to have enough kids to make his own drumline
“Always remember this, playing the drums is like making love”
SMH
The only movie where the marching band was even more intense and Spartan than the actual football team.
Pure awesomeness
Absolutely amazing!!
I would highly recommend this movie to anyone to watch
0:41 my fav part
I really love this
Just watched it. It was awesome.
My favorite part of movie
Drum line was fun movie enjoying it music good watching at movie in 2002 have dvd
Que bueno saludos desde costa rica
Everybody wanted to be the next nick cannon in school after this this movie had influence
Best scene ever 👌😍
I am Russian. And I LOVE that movie
