I won't go and answer everyone, so here we go. To whoever complain "they aren't clean" "they're not that great" please consider the following : they're recorded outside, with all the disadvantage that an outside recording may have. They're playing into Basel Kaserne (I don't even know how to explain the configuration of the site in english), so there is some echo (amongst other things) People nowadays are obviously too used to listen to music recorded in studio with a professional erasing every little default. This is a live performance. And, really, the record doesn't do it justice. And still, it's great :)
+tsuba666 Basel Kaserne could be translated to the Barracks in Basel or Basel Barracks. And yeah this stuff is impressive along with all the tiny errors it is a great feat. that these guys pulled off here.
WHAT? I just- what??? Holy sh- WHAT??? I'm blown away. A sword fight WHILE maintaining rhythm, the precision of the marching, the mesmerizing movements, and flippin' light-up drums?? Are you kidding me?? World, how are you so awesome??
This is probably the sickest drumline performances I have ever seen. This is coming from someone with a traditional style drumline background. AMAZING!!!
Top Secret are from Basel, and Basel has a very long tradition of drumming. I have no idea how many drummers the city has, but if you look at some videos of the Basel carnival (Basler Fasnacht), you will see that there are a lot of them. Actually in the Top Secret drumming school, kids concentrate on learning traditional Basel drumming before moving on to show drumming when they get older.
@@charlesthemonkey5374 They have regular jobs they go to, so not quite. They started around grade School age at this drummers school in Basal, Switzerland where they all live and where there are a lot of drummers in the community.
Tears of joy in my eyes...there's no feeling like playing in a drum section, marching in step to a cadence, or, on the football field, preforming during halftime... these guys make me smile ... :D
The competitions used to be carried in the US on public broadcasting and I loved to watch it each year. Now they don't do it any longer. I surely miss it and will check it out on YT. What a great performance. Thanks for sharing.
I think the most amazing thing about the performance is the Battle Scene. They are playing, what is it? Rolls and rim shots? It takes a lot of time and effort to be able to do a roll that sounds clear with one hand and rim shots while you're swinging your sticks around like you're fighting for dear life. I've tried it and it isn't really easy, especially when you're running around with a huge drum around your torso. The part after that, where they pass the sticks, is also extremely impressive. It takes accuracy to even throw the thing in the right place, much less catch it and play in a split second and do tricks to control it. In my opinion, more people should see this than only 900,000. This takes a lot of integrity, determination, and confidence to do what these percussionists did at this performance.
I have also seen some performances where they dance around while drumming. Some with flaming drumsticks and some where one drumstick is also a flute. I still don't get enough of watching these young men. They have regular jobs so are not able to practice as much as most people think they do. They start at a very young age at this drummer school where they live and work their way up to this professional level. Most of the people in their town are drummers. Think about that.
(Spanish) Increíble la coordinación, sincronización, espectáculo, y el grandísimo esfuerzo que habrá detrás. Enhorabuena. Parece imposible llegar a tanta perfección...
Unglaublich dieses Taktgefühl und die Perfektion, ganz großes Kino,danke für hochladen. Die Leute die diese Choreografien erfinden und umsetzten verdienen ein ebenso großes Lob. 5*****
Moi qui suis un vieux batteur de jazz modern( disait on dans le temps) et bien ces gars sont tout simplement fabuleux et dire que des gens n'aiment pas ce qu'ils font ! Merci Secret Drum Corps vous êtes génial !
talboters44 Sorry - really cannot understand what you are 'on about'. But I think the PREVIOUS POSTER thinks that Top Secret is a Scottish band and should have been in kilts when in fact they are from Basel in Switzerland.
Whoever said, they were not clean that has never played a snare drum. I am oblivious to what the fuck you would even comment, that routine looked very good and very hard to do! I really Liked iT! !!!! thumbs up
great memories. we've been there with the whole omanet-team. wel performing fasnacht-drummers remind me to that. strongly looking forward to next time!
Basimelia! Thanks for contributing this video to You Tube.Its a great show of talent and I really enjoyed watching it. It's the practice and hard work made this perfect.Super!!!

Grandios Perfekt 👍👍
Whoever criticizes this has ZERO knowledge of what is being achieved here. For me, all I see here is a beautiful show of Swiss precision :D .
I can't do it
Does anyone know what those flags represent?

MrSouthernStyle I wish my schools drumline was this good
+April Henderson They cant be that bad usually highschool drumlines are pretty good
Justin Humble Mine are okay but these people are way better i might post a video of my schools drumline
Do it cause I wanna see em my drumline is okay only cause we have two seniors and me and we are veterans on the line
There aren't any proper words to describe just how absolutely fantastic that was.
Brilliant skills. God knows how many hours of practice that took??
+Darryl Clarkson about forever and going on
40 hours a day

I was in the audience to see this performance-there is only one word to describe it. Superb!
Sensacional. Parabéns! Acho que nós das Escolas de Samba do Rio de Janeiro temos muito o que aprender!
The competitions used to be carried in the US on public broadcasting and I loved to watch it each year. Now they don't do it any longer. I surely miss it and will check it out on YT. What a great performance. Thanks for sharing.
The talent & skill of these guys is mind-boggling! They are so much fun to watch & re-watch.
Perfeição nos movimentos!

Now, that's some rhythm! Seems like they should be wearing kilts, though. Still, awesome is the word for it.
David Moss Not all that sure that the Swiss wear kilts -- but maybe.
slimchancetoo DONT INSULT THE SCOTS.. THEY ARE A GREAT BAND BUT IS THAT A MILITARY UNIFORM???
