I love how all the people in the background are like, "I don't care about these sick beats happening, I need to watch all these white boys play basketball at a very amateur level."
Another indication of this line's greatness is that they are rarely playing with an external tempo reference. Only during extended rests does McNutt jump on the cowbell.
Was thinking of posting the same comment. Colin’s writing is so intelligent. There is always a symphonic approach to his book that’s so very refreshing. Such a cool lineage of brilliant percussion minds.
Amazed me that they had a different dude writing the beats but it still sounds extremely similar to 90s/00s Cadets. Even the tuning, especially the basses.
Man, how could those guys be back there playing basketball with all that great drumming and sound going on behind them!!! It's one of those things goes beyond my comprehension!!
Holy shit guys!. As a former Madison Scout, i appreciate your brilliant drumming. Thanks so much for contributing such brilliance and evolution to the world
This drum line is beyond brilliant. As a former Madison Scout. I'm fucking blow away at how DCI has evolved. Thanks writers and instructors for doing this brilliance _ and thanks all you drummers who are rocking it!!!!
I live in a small town in CT called Enfield. At or high school, we have a band director named Mr.Repucci. Believe it or not, "Pooch" as we call him, spoofing how his name is pronounced, marched Cadets a while back. I've never seen it happen firsthand, but I've heard that you can NEVER tell a George Hopkins joke to him, or you will die.
are we sure that this isn't just a cover of one person, bc they are all so precise and perfectly lined up that they sound like the beat is coming from one drum
Good Lord!- I hope the Cadets (as a whole) can get back to this other worldly level.......Corps Management, do what you have to- bring back the mystique and the magic
@@TravisCyprien idk aungst's cadets > mcnutts. as much as I like the balls to the walls writing, aungst's musicality top them (their books can be just as nutty too)

Just a reminder that this is the best lot video of all time.
How could we forget barber flams
I keep going back to this every year. Definitely the best
it was my favorite until boston this year😫

Hello Ean
2024 and still listening. Greatest. Drumline. Video. Ever. You can’t change my mind.
I'd offer that it is ONE of the greatest drumlines ever and perhaps top 3 in the last 15 years
Had to come back and watch. This is still incredible.
Straight facts
Hits really hard now that we know this is the end of the Cadets
That "jesus christ" at the end really summed it up perfectly. Still watch this after all these years!
I just listened to the last part at .75 speed. It's stick your hands through clean, for the most part.
My favorite cadet drumline video of all time. The heights, the tuning, the flams, the maple, the playing with conviction...
I can't listen to any cadets drum book without pooping my pants
This is probably my favorite warmup video ever.
I love how all the people in the background are like, "I don't care about these sick beats happening, I need to watch all these white boys play basketball at a very amateur level."
Meanwhile Cadets battery setting the damn court on fire next to them lmao
Was thinking the same thing.
Haha dude if there was an amateur drum line behind the lakers, you know I'd be watching the drum line.
@@blakerunyon09 I would watch the drumline too after the Lakers season this year
5:04 those triplet rolls sound crazy from the quads... I like the way these guys are playing. with some real cajones
Another indication of this line's greatness is that they are rarely playing with an external tempo reference. Only during extended rests does McNutt jump on the cowbell.
Can hear and see Hannum's influence on McNutt! Holy Star of Indiana! Best Drums 2013! Great job, Cadets!

4:06 is just about the most insane sound I’ve ever heard a Drumline make. The sheer crisp power from those shots is unbelievable
Those shots catch me off guard every time I hear the feature. Its like it can’t get any louder then they blast my speakers out it’s so awesome
Best drum line of all time
The compression/limiting from the video camera at 4:06 shows just how freakin loud they were..
And the mic he uses is even made for loud noises to be heard at a normal volume without compressing. Crazy.
I mean…. 9 scooped snares 😂
Never forget
Amazed me that they had a different dude writing the beats but it still sounds extremely similar to 90s/00s Cadets. Even the tuning, especially the basses.
Fast, dense duple figures
That stuff towards the end is some 93' Star of Indiana shit. Those 36" rolls.
MY EARS. THEY CRY.
Man, hearing drumlines on concrete is ridiculous. So loud! When you're on grass it eats up a ton of your sound... But on concrete. Daaaang haha.
panda44r 😎🌴🎶🌴😎
I love the fact that the basketball player in the background is watching at 4:57. This drumline was incredible. Loved every listening moment.
One of the best drum lines of the era.
3:57 The way those tenors ring is so pretty!
Man, how could those guys be back there playing basketball with all that great drumming and sound going on behind them!!! It's one of those things goes beyond my comprehension!!
The 8" beefy spock sound, and the tenor sound in general that they had in 2013-2016 was so cool
Twelve people must think Top Secret is actually a good drum line.
Love love LOVE the snare sound in this vid. Thanks for posting. :)
Beautiful Drum Line Colin!! Great job and congrats on your first HIgh Drums Title!! -Leo Woods. Orlando Florida
I'm so glad Cadets got back to what made them awesome. LOUD.
Can't stop watching this video... must be my 40th time! ... again... CENTER SNARE's got the right attitude. Drumline on steroids!
Resonance brought out by the court makes me so happy
loudest year yet....would have love to hear this live
we miss you cadets! now we got bac to show you how we miss your shows!
Bout time someone showed up BD.
musicmaniac92992 I’m glad they won
Before Cadets 2013:
Cavies 2011
Phantom 2010
Phantom 2008
Phantom 2006
Cadets 2005
SCV 2004
Cadets again for a few more years I believe
Whenever I get sad I remember this video exists.
4:05 imagine waking up to this at 4 am
one of the cadets is our highschool drumline instructor... i didnt know they were this good
Again, I thoroughly enjoyed that!!!!!
From an old Nisei Ambassador from the 70's, I say these guys are just frickin ' awesome!
Just ......... dnt hav words.... breathtaking. ..... AWESOME BASSES
Whew...Any questions? Congratulations - well deserved!
This line was definitely much beyond paradigm. Very amazing.
If any of you are still single and looking to impress an old 35 year old girl/life long fan with sick beats. I am still here for this.
You could have told me this was any year from the 90's up until now and I'd believe it. Same intensity.
Astounding. Thank you Cadets!
Watching this from the same basketball courts 10 years later right now 🤘
Holy shit guys!. As a former Madison Scout, i appreciate your brilliant drumming. Thanks so much for contributing such brilliance and evolution to the world
You do realize you have possibly the best video of this year ever right? Lol
@@DomGrady97 thank you
I love these years of drum Corp. Straight drumming, no dancing around squatting and bouncing like they do nowadays.
This drum line is beyond brilliant. As a former Madison Scout. I'm fucking blow away at how DCI has evolved. Thanks writers and instructors for doing this brilliance _ and thanks all you drummers who are rocking it!!!!
RIP cadets
This is beautiful!

That tenor feature at 4:51 gets me every single time
Nice job, gentlemen! Nice job gent....and so on.
One of the best basslines I have ever seen
are we sure that this isn't just a cover of one person, bc they are all so precise and perfectly lined up that they sound like the beat is coming from one drum
Not only piss clean, but quality of sound, uniformity of movement...book...speechless - listen to Jeff Prosperie's finals tape if you haven't. "WOW!"
I want to be a cadet soooo bad! 2014 Here I come!
...this line reminds me of '87... :-)
Good Lord!- I hope the Cadets (as a whole) can get back to this other worldly level.......Corps Management, do what you have to- bring back the mystique and the magic
Well the lost the one percussion director that got the line like this. He went to Boston. Now Boston’s line is clean
@@TravisCyprien the one guy? Do you realize how many drum trophies Aungst won with them??? Including a 3peat??
@@TravisCyprien idk aungst's cadets > mcnutts. as much as I like the balls to the walls writing, aungst's musicality top them (their books can be just as nutty too)
I have news
@jacksnare2022 Other than the Cadets being miraculously resurrected? would love to hear your news
I'm proud to say one of my friends is a snare drummer.
the third snare from the left was a tech at the camp i just went to. super cool dude
6:01 Holy stick heights, Batman!!!!
Glad the camera is up close to that ripping bass line!
Mind. Blown.
Judged the best in the world for 2013! Yeah!!
LEGENDARY DRUMLINE.
So clean... They make me feel like I'm not good enough *cries in a corner*
Omg so clean 🤤 this is the kind of cool shit that makes me happy to be a part of this awesome fucking community, I love it
The Tenors are just unbelievable. 😯
Does anyone know exactly what they're playing at 1:41?
Eight triplets and quarter triplets.
Why all the focus on the snares? Tenors are much more diverse!
I want to hear the impact so bad live... All those shots and heavy bass unisons... Comes to Cali :(
I like how there's a basketball game going on in the back
So loud and sooooo crisp and clean
who yelled #Streets at 6:41?
Yo mom
Good gracious! And I've been around along time! Clean as a whistle! Who won drums this year?
came here 8 years later to inform you that these boys smoked the other lines
Why do 3 of the snares have black shoulder pieces on their harnesses and the rest don't? Earlier in the season they all had the aluminum ones.
Balls. Balls everywhere.
It's perfect...
2:47 to 4:15? Just doesn't get any better. It rocks!
4:02 JEEEEEEZ
If looks could kill (center snare @ 6:38) all the other drum lines would be laying on the floor! 😂😠 one of my favorite lines of all time!
Just timeless classic clean beefy beats
That's when Jeff Prosperie said "WOW! WOW!"
This lot was crazy
More Cowbell!! I need More Cowbel!!!
4:11 hit. Step. “TWEET” all in time
No more "the lot", now "the court"! Great acoustics for a line!
Has anyone noticed the whistle at 5:19? It's PERFECT...
5:58 I never noticed 5 plays the beefiest parradiddlediddle
6:08 - "WOW!!" 6:17 - "WOW!!" - drum judge on Finals night
I hope im able to play rolls that high at one point in my life
my main man ao staring the camera down during the last double stops.
center snare's neck and head cracked me up all season.
speechless, I am.
Did they step off with the right foot though?
What heads are they using on the snares? I would seriously like to invest in some
how are they still playin b ball.....-_-
i like how there is more people watching the lot than people watching the pick up games
Casey Brohard? Is that him?
