NCCU has become a lot cleaner and I love it. I see A&T being cleaner and showing more technique. Love the challange of both, it grows the culture and I love how all are giving their all. Big ups to both sections.... I love my HBCU's I support them all!! I am an Aggie thru and thru but love us together in beautiful competition!!! I do see the influence of the famu band director on NCCU.. get it it NCCU and grow. As far as NCAT grow further and become more than cold steel, become the greatest in the world continue all to learn the craft and thank you both teams for giving us such great artistry!!!! HBCU for life!!! WE are ONE
Love central but I dont think there is a better percussion line in the country then cold steel its been that way for years. Shout out to the young sister on the snare at NCCU
I was just thinking how great they sounded. I love that old rustic tone they got Goin on. The ring is perfect. It's refreshing to hear after all the tight crisp Thang everybody else is playin.
Why are folks acting like DOA was sorry? They was nice. Both lines have different strengths. Cold Steels strength is showmanship, getting the crowd into it. DOA strength is blocking up and battling. While CS got more love lets be honest the material wasn't harder than DOA.
@@stickdog1230 i did this for many many years and the material between both schools is on the same level of difficulty they just operate differently. One uses more showmanship to get the crowd involved and the other doesn't care too much about the crowd, they want to technically beat the opposing line down, so they aren't moving too much or dancing too much, just playing their drum.
Bro that sequence at 1:34 was definitely next level. One thing about A&T is their drumline does those smooth ass transitions into different tempos better than anyone. A&T has both showmanship and technicality. It’s not a time where a drum isn’t getting beat even if they’re dancing which is even more impressive
Also the more I watch this video central was doing hella stick tricks. A&T was playing their drums a lot more especially in the first round. Centrals material also isn’t anything difficult, they have a very colorful tonal section but other than that I’m not impressed.
Like I been saying and gonna keep saying.The band of the year clearly was Jackson State.Since A&T has history in ATL.The favortism went in their in favor.I was born and raised in NC.A&T just don't have the heart like they did in the 80s,90s and early 2000.You can clearly see it over the years since 2000.Especially with the conference changes which was stupid on their part for leaving the MEAC
Central was aiight (meaning better than they used to be...their punch actually remind me of a Cold Steel punch in the late 90's early 2000s...still high schoolish but cleaner...it got madd boring at the end. Unlike the Football game CS for the win! And this is coming from a Cold Steel Alum F.A.O.D. #8 Fall 99
Do you think DCI is the standard that everyone is graded on? Believe it or not, everyone doesn't want to be like DCI and guess what? That's OK!! I respect all styles, they all have their place. It would be so boring if everyone was DCI. I love being able to see different styles.
This wasn’t even close! I don’t understand why CS continues to battle DOA. Surely, there are better drum lines in the HBCU world to give a better performance or show! AGGIE PRIIIIDDDEEEE!!
Unpopular opinion: NCCU w the W. They were playing real material. I see past the gimmicks of Coldsteel. Very great line, a fan. But battle IQ has never been there for them
@@King_savagekidd I’m only saying this cause Coldsteel is a great line. Very talented. But they only play what everyone been seeing the past decade. They could’ve done real damage if they straight up battled with real battle material, not just a spilt version of the show they just did at this same event. Like cadence for cadences, real heat being thrown. But they never do it’s always the same thing. I will admit, DOA first cadence was a bad choice of cadence. They got heat too.
I feel where you getting at man, started as an cold steel fan buh as I did more research nccu started growing on me, I agree with your opinion 100%, but me personally I still don’t know who won in my book😂 great battle either way been waiting on it since the bus incident
When that A&T snare turned around by himself I though he was gon be on sum Devon Miles shit fasho😭😭😭
Both sound good! A&T is my Alma Mater, but most of my fam went to NCCU so it’s all love.
Dem niggas got that old school energy like it 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 cold steel ‼️‼️
1st drum line had me wanting to go to war💪🏽😅 beast ass performance 🫡🫡

That stick drop was smooth

Not saying Cold Steel is the best, but they’re up there….Along with MDF$ and Cookman
@@mr.cantdorightt Right. CS pretty solid. We (Sudden Impact) used to go head up with CS. In my opinion , they’re not touching us and MDFS .
NCCU looked like a high school drum line compared to Cold Steel. Completely embarrassed Central. Oh my goodness.
Cold steel is average
It's evident that you aren't well-traveled.
Enjoyed the performance!! Both Bands.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 proud of all y'all.
I stumbled on this I marched 02 03 central got the same book, central get your sticking up
Both lines incorporated new/old material...
@@leeroy4410central was mostly old material in this battle from what ive heard
Nccu snares need to go back to the old snare heads 😂😂 sounding like they bearing on paper
I was just thinking how great they sounded. I love that old rustic tone they got Goin on. The ring is perfect. It's refreshing to hear after all the tight crisp Thang everybody else is playin.
@@Joshholbrook2024: I have been saying the same thing!
I been saying this can’t stand heads that don’t sound crisp let the swac have they full sound please
They're jamming!
Cold Steel for the W!!
Ncccu wasted all that tape 😂😂
I've seen better by DOA.........COLDSTEEL for the win!
Cold Steel by A LOT
17:25 the groove and the way they killing the cymbals 😂🔥
Steel W

A NCAT tenor dropped his mallet
@@brkbay9599 they all did. It was a part of the cadence. Smh
wish i heard about this i would’ve went
didnt the captain of nccu (snare player with dreads) play for ncat once upon a time?😂
I thought the same thing!😂
You see why DOA is starting to have a similar sound to CS?
No the instructor
The great NSU
All i see is nccu sticking😂

❄️ steel
I appreciate steel for trying not to play over doa. Didn’t last but at least they tried.
Cold steel has a W Drumline
Andrews '09!
Why do nccu have leg tenor’s & regular tenors
They don’t those are the Tonal base drums
Coldsteel just movement
Is it DCI quality 🤔 you look, you decide

Ugh the camera man geesh, he was making me angry moving away and all around
Smoking on nccu 😂
Central came to destroy 😂 i think 💭
