He is old school just based on the sound of his snare. It isn't cranked way up like a lot of marching snares are these days. A sound I remember, and like, from my own marching days, Purple Lancers, Auburn NY, 1967-1974. The other thing is not as much an emphasis on speed. I could actually make out what rudiments he was playing most of the time. The other - not so much. Everything was a blur.
first guy is Charlie Poole. Taught the 27th Lancers in the 70s and till 86 when they folded. Won many individual titles. Marched Boston Crusaders in the 60s
@Bugay Den he is the very last one. He is very good too. He played in the blue devils drum line when he was only 12! ||| ruclips.net/video/H0_OkH30BXA/видео.html
It doesn’t matter who you think is better it’s inspirational as a drummer to see all diffrent generations do snare drummers in the same room and they show how much drumming has changed from them to know with technology or anything
Love the performance by Charlie Poole. Everything is so old school and simple. No flashy visuals, leading into every other measure with a 5/7 stroke, that good stroke everything thing out technique, rudiments played great. Love it. I'm a student of Marty Hurley so my influences may be talking but I enjoyed it.
I believe Marty Hurley, was a member of the budget Sacrament golden knights, who Bobby Thompson taught for many years, the Golden Nights at one of the best drum lines ever any activity. I was fortunate enough to compete against the Blessed Sacrament golden knights when I was a snare drama with the Floyd Bennett golden eagles from Brooklyn New York. We never beat them in, drum execution, we beat almost every Drumline in exposure to era, we were playing switch rudiments back then very few if any drumlines playing them. Also our hornline triple tongue, very few Common People course did that as well, our brass Ranger, was, Hy dreitzer, the best arranger at that time in the country considered by many to be the best ever. Our brass quartet in 1960, beat the st. Kevin's Emerald Knights by 10 points, at that time they held the national champion, horn quartet, a week after they won the championship, Floyd Bennett for that first time ever competing in quartet beat them by 10 points. Our very first year in competition we defeated many of the well-recognized drum and bugle Corps. Our very first ever want you moving competition we took first place, our second competition was that Garfield Invitational, I believe it came in second to last beating St Lucy's Cadets. In my opinion our support management at no experience in the activity, we did not practice, before a competition, or getting to competitions on-time last-minute stuff. That was our weak point, with the Floyd Bennett golden eagles, great instructors, but our support team at no experience in the activity whatsoever, they kind of treated us just like we're getting ready for parade. When I joined the sun rises in 1964, I realized all the competitions we may have one or came close to winning, but due to our lack of experience, in the activity cost us several competitions. Don't get me wrong that we support team with fantastic. As a member of the Long Island sunrises we practice hard we worked hard and we won many competitions, leading up to the first national championship in 1968 in New Orleans Louisiana. Today is May 18th 2023.
All were great. I liked Charlie Poole best. Nothing fancy, no stick tricks, just great drumming. Plus the drum had better volume. I think he is in my age group too.
Charles Poole is about real rudimental drumming, has nothing to do with age. He's not into tricks, juggling and being a clown. In my opinion DCI is the reason for the demise of what was one of the greatest activities between United States and Canada. Thousands of drum and bugle Corps have fell by the wayside. They turned the activity into a marching band competition superimposed on a three-ring circus.
@@americanspirit8932 well that’s an opinion. Personally I think dci and these new groups have helped modernize drumming and expand it. The tricks and the new snare builds and sound are apart of the newer era of drumming. If anything performing and mastering tricks while playing complex rhythms shows that you have skill and adds to the visual aspect of drumming.
@@americanspirit8932 are you mad that it also has a visual aspect as well? Drumming has not dwindled in musicality at all. Look at the recently lines and their music. Then look at the stick tricks they do. Barely any. You realize millions STILL watch drum corps right? Just because you throw a fit over the sport evolving and you not doesn't mean others aren't following along. I can't with these blind old heads
@@americanspirit8932 honestly I think its MORE musical now! A bunch of Charlie's solo was the same tempo, a bunch of 16ths with crazy stickings and rudiments. Dude new lines are insane. Like Blue coats this season, they had a seventhlet in 6, you know how hard that is? And how nice it sounds? Then SCV's writing is just beautiful. They are constantly adding new times as well as new sounds. I've seen 5:3, 7:6, 8:9, Fivelets fit into the spacings of triplet putaduhs. Brandon's solo constantly flexed in musicality, constantly bringing it up in dynamics and down. Bumping up the tempo and slowing it down. Effortlessly pulling off some rudiments and stickings that Charlie had and even better! Drum corps is evolving, stop being blind and appreciate the evolution of music
Is no one going to talk about Brandon’s single chops?? Like holy crap... I really like how versatile his solo was too. The first guy was also incredible, his snare sounded different from snares today but I actually liked it idk what it is.
I believe if Poole would have been using a different/tight snare,it would have really made the difference for what he done.IMO the 3rd guy had the best which I was surprised with considering ScoJoh was there & I figured he would take the win.
Poole is way more of my style but also this just proves that I am still not very good at snare after 23 years. My students think I have godlike rudimental ability but that’s just them not realizing what is possible.
Yeah,Beckham is a beast but he marched 1981 27th lancers and apparently they were trash according to some folks here. Sarcasm btw. Lol. Beckham is old skool but he can play literally anything.
I like the old school feel of the first gentleman. It’s funny how this type of knowledge trickles down... Especially since he was using “System Blue ScoJos” with ScoJo right behind him. 3 seasons or so ago, the drum line captain, tenor and baseline captain for The Blue Devils came from my roots and the line I marched snare in some 15-20 years prior in high school! Really these types of players have such a huge impact on so many lives and can be traced back like a drummer lineage.
I had no idea this was a thing (PASIC 2018). These folks have been doing this for a long time. Some longer than others. All of them are skilled in their craft. I listen to all sorts of music. All the drummers, guitar players, keys, vocals, bassist, have their own techniques from their background and influences. It is so clear that the same goes for the marching snare. Everyone has their own unique sound. Love it
Charlie Poole is legend. Great to see him playing. I've seen Scojo have better days on the drum, but his enthusiasm while watching the other players really shows his genuine joy and enthusiasm for the craft. Prosprie's still got the chops, but the antics can go. Casey was freaking impeccable, as indicated by the fact that he's the only one who managed to bring a smile to Charlie's face. If you want to see Brandon at full-length look up the vid for 2019 DCI Snare Champion. TOTAL beast.
One thing I know for sure, the older generation drummers are definitely proud and confident in the new generation of drummers. Can't really say much for everyone else though.
…you can’t get there in without years of practice. Scott is most inspiring veteran. Honestly others guys also blow me away. It’s gonna take a lot of work to get there….
The first gentleman told the best stories his solos were understandable and they were phrased well... IT SWUNG HARD like Jazz in my opinion....everyone else was amazing and theatrical....understood! But the first cat made the most sense to me of them all! Groovy....
Charles Poole, is a real rudimental drummer. The others really don't display that skill at all, they are more interested in visuals, juggling, by the English. Charles pool, by far the best rudimental drummer.
@@americanspirit8932 You may want to think that, but Charlie’s playing was not very clean and the other performances were far more impressive and showed much more dedication to the craft than some simple rudiments
@@americanspirit8932 Stick tricks and visuals does not mean they are not a "Real Rudimental Drummer." You can like the old style, but just because you like it more. Doesn't mean you have to bash modern players. As a matter of fact, Fred Sanford had his members perform visuals back in the 70's when he taught SCV. That style that Charles and everyone else from his time in DCI used is what built up modern Rudimental Drummer. Including visuals.
1. ScoJo’s face is the best. 2. This is a great video of the stark divide between generations of marching drumming. Like watching a telegraph, a telephone, and an iPhone in a museum.
@@denesisdelcorockschool3074 They literally ALL sounded like complete trash compared to the insane drumming of today. My highschool could sound better than any snareline before 1990
Lol!! I think at least four of the drummers in this video would disagree with your statement. Do you think Scott Johnson would say "yeah,when I marched blue devils in 1977 we sounded like trash just like all the lines at the time. Haha. If you think a high school snare line could play the books of lancers,bd,Santa clara,spirit of atlanta,bridgeman,etc from back in the day you are smoking some good shit. Sons of liberty in the 60's! we're poss clean. FAct! The modern lines are amazing but don't discount the best lines from the 70's and 80's.Some of the best players on the planet Played in those lines. To this day Robbie Robinson could crush nearly any drummer alive today. Brandon,casey,brice, all gifted drummers but if think Rob Carson couldn't play their stuff is insane. He invented half the stuff they play! Sigh.wtf?
denesis delcorockschool I meant C L E A N. By the way, my high school has one of the top drum lines in the world, one of the best marimba players who played SCV for 3 years came from here. Either way, the stuff they played back then isn’t nearly as hard or as clean as modern DCI. It’s still more complex than modern high school music, but nowhere near as clean. What even are you credentials?
All of them were incredible and their styles were so different that I wouldn't even want to compare them. So if you ask me who I enjoyed the most, I'd simply answer "all of them".
Always got a soft spot for Jeff Queen. My instructor from high school knew him and he came and played with us at our hs percussion ensemble one year, 2003 or 4.
I played with him during a clinic with the Blue Coats, very cool guy. He was also one of my favorites from Blast, the Broadway show, which btw is the exact piece he played in this clip(from the drum battle if you want to look it up)
That's because he is a real rudimental drummer, has nothing to do with age. John dowling, was a friend of mine, may he rest in peace. He was the person responsible for developing back sticking, that is still being used today.
Ist gentlemen was my style of snare drummer! Playing a snare solo on a Rogers Dynasonic snare drum. Old school. Love to here him on my early 70's Slingerland TDR 100. I never liked the popcorn machines. Cheers!
First and last were my fav. For me drums and percussion are about rhythm. I want to feel the beat, and they both had a theme of musicality that brought them above. They were all amazing, way better than I could hope to be without a whole ton of passion and commitment. At this high level, kinda everyone has the techniques down, I believe it becomes personal preference that starts to really set people apart.
@@TopDrumCorps From what I know (which isn't much), he did place 6th in 1994 or so (people more well-versed: please correct me if I'm wrong or missing something!)
I don't play drums, but I'm so impressed by these talented people that keep these bands in rythym and beat. Without them, bands all over the world wouldn't be the same.
In every marching ensemble you are taught to never listen to the drumline because 1. They are too far away and sound takes time to travel 2. They play very complex stuff as you can see and it makes getting time from it difficult
Was a band kid in the 70's- Ludwig and NARD solos were our standards back in the day. Did Solo N Ensemble, Select Band, marching band. Agree Charlie is closest to the old school drumming. But times change, tricks have become part of the repertoire. Regardless, I love all these drummers- great trad grip and RH/LH rebound!!!
Man! I remember us fanboying Casey so hard when we were doing DCI with Strängnäs Drum & Bugle Corps from Sweden. All rudimental drummers I know call that tip-butt roll "The Casey" haha
C O usually in marching band for snares they use Kevlar drum heads because they’re more durable and they’re louder. Also it for judges and audiences in stadiums it’s more clear to what the line is playing
That's what real drumming is all about, not like these marching bands today superimpose on the three ring circus, juggling head bobbing, Rim shots of the yin-yang.
what i think im doing on my practice pad at 3am
If I was playing a pad at 3 am my family would kill me
@@duston1649i use my knees as a practice pad when i dont have one on me
Charlie Poole just sitting there with that look of "I've seen it all before boys", is the best bit of this video
When Casey Brohard was done, watch Poole's face. He was definitely impressed
😂I know right
yea lmao
the first guy's technique is amazing. you can't beat the old school finesse.
Yes!!!!!! I feel you on That one
Yeah I'm not always impressed with the stick twirling. I don't think a drummer has to be a juggler to be good at their craft
He is old school just based on the sound of his snare. It isn't cranked way up like a lot of marching snares are these days. A sound I remember, and like, from my own marching days, Purple Lancers, Auburn NY, 1967-1974.
The other thing is not as much an emphasis on speed. I could actually make out what rudiments he was playing most of the time. The other - not so much. Everything was a blur.
...at least his snare doesn't sound like constant farts.
first guy is Charlie Poole. Taught the 27th Lancers in the 70s and till 86 when they folded. Won many individual titles. Marched Boston Crusaders in the 60s
I forgot I had the video on 2x speed and I was like... DAYUMM..
Yo I tried that shit. I’m partially blind now from trying to keep up
Casey brohard was my favorite. One because his piece was fantastic. Second because his last name is brohard.
Ryan Cox hello.
Lolol
Matthew Grover Casey Brohard is our high school marching band drum tech smh no wonder our drum line is so fire
Yeah, he has the best flow. The other guys work felt so choppy every Time they transition into a new section
He grooves on that snare like crazy
I love Poole showing up with the Vintage Rogers snare! CLASSIC!
Rogers Dynasonic. From my era.
Much more challenging to play than the other snares as well. It doesn't just throw the stick back at you.
@@Carlo24515 been thinking about getting one or a ludwig just for building a foundation
The fact that Brandon Olander has become a household name in my house full of drummers is reflected in this video
firkinjackanapes his hands have seen better days
Yee Haw what...?
Wesley Mannino my bad I replyed to the wrong comment, I was talking about Scott Johnson
Yee Haw ah! Ok agreed haha Brandon’s were outstanding I was like “huh” 😂
I got to meet him, he techs at a school in arizona and he was at the same band comp as me
my man jeff prosperie look like the highschool quarterback who picked up percussion as a sad broken man
he looks like he coaches peewee football
@@jvogler_art4708 honestly he looks like a guy that plays snare drum on the weekends....
You can see Scojo's look of approval for Casey. too bad we couldn't see his face during Brandon. (What a composition!)
I saw scojo's look through all those that played . They were all looking for one another to just make one little mistake just to say " I got ya" .
popeye sailor Heck yeah! I can see his playing has really improved even since his championship days
Woah... Casey’s still got it. I remember hearing that solo when I was young and it still holds up.
Why am I here? I don’t even play the drums. Yet here everyone is voting on the best drummer. Who are these people???
Well you got Brandon Olander who plays for the blue devils and has scoliosis.

That's because he is a real rudimental drummer, has nothing to do with age. John dowling, was a friend of mine, may he rest in peace. He was the person responsible for developing back sticking, that is still being used today.
Ist gentlemen was my style of snare drummer! Playing a snare solo on a Rogers Dynasonic snare drum. Old school. Love to here him on my early 70's Slingerland TDR 100. I never liked the popcorn machines. Cheers!
I loved how at certain moments you can see them be like I gotta try that when I get home.
First and last were my fav. For me drums and percussion are about rhythm. I want to feel the beat, and they both had a theme of musicality that brought them above. They were all amazing, way better than I could hope to be without a whole ton of passion and commitment. At this high level, kinda everyone has the techniques down, I believe it becomes personal preference that starts to really set people apart.
Brandon Olander will go down In the books as the GOAT. He will replace scojo when retires
YES DEFINITELY

You make no sense.
@@robmiller817 how so
I think casey brohard had the best hands. Thats just my opinion
Me: *waiting for roger carter to appear*
Roger carter: *doesnt appear*
Did he ever win I&E?
@@TopDrumCorps From what I know (which isn't much), he did place 6th in 1994 or so (people more well-versed: please correct me if I'm wrong or missing something!)
Think this was a champion only invite.
I don't play drums, but I'm so impressed by these talented people that keep these bands in rythym and beat. Without them, bands all over the world wouldn't be the same.
In every marching ensemble you are taught to never listen to the drumline because
1. They are too far away and sound takes time to travel
2. They play very complex stuff as you can see and it makes getting time from it difficult
Was a band kid in the 70's- Ludwig and NARD solos were our standards back in the day. Did Solo N Ensemble, Select Band, marching band. Agree Charlie is closest to the old school drumming. But times change, tricks have become part of the repertoire. Regardless, I love all these drummers- great trad grip and RH/LH rebound!!!
I loved that first Ludwig snare and it sound.
I like that the first time Charlie Poole looked amused was with Casey brohard he was also only amused with Casey brohard and brandon
Scott Johnson watching Casey and Brandon like a proud father ❤
Wow, they're good at drumming.
Man! I remember us fanboying Casey so hard when we were doing DCI with Strängnäs Drum & Bugle Corps from Sweden.
All rudimental drummers I know call that tip-butt roll "The Casey" haha
If you have a video of 27th lancers in 72 you will hear those Scottish clansmen snares like Charlie is kinda playing hear. Best sounding snares ever.
Nice to hear a snare drum that doesn't sound like a granite countertop ( the first guy anyways)
DeckerCreek do you know what type Brandon was playing ? Yamaha ?
CHRIS ROACH Scojo and Brandon were both using System Blue Snares.
C O usually in marching band for snares they use Kevlar drum heads because they’re more durable and they’re louder. Also it for judges and audiences in stadiums it’s more clear to what the line is playing
I TOTALLY AGREE. THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS HE SOUNDED SO AMAZING
PLUS HIS TECHNIQUE IS EXCELLENT.
Charles Campbell agree, if you had a ringing snare sound it will be harder to hear chops and fasting playing, it just won’t be clear.
Lets go Brandon oleander i&e 2015!!
Yes!!
Charlie Poole is my vote but they are all fantastic!
I couldn't tell - they were all amazing in there own right.
the first guy was definetly that most entertaining to watch
I think these dudes went clothes shopping together. All were awesome, love snare drumming
I remember watching Charlie Poole face off against Bob Kalkofen. Awesome.
I don´t really know anything about these snare drum contests so I looked all the time to the guys in the background to see their reactions ;D
Traditional rudimentary drumming no stick tricks . Love it
That's what real drumming is all about, not like these marching bands today superimpose on the three ring circus, juggling head bobbing, Rim shots of the yin-yang.
@@americanspirit8932 do you teach?
You guys are the TOP 1% !
Charlie Poole had a great performance. It was also neat and fascinating to watch him as he watched all the other drummers.
The last guy was the guy...smashes it all to pieces
First guy by far my favourite!
Some fine playing!
Great job boys
Imagine being the son or daughter sleeping and dads playing the sick drumroll to wake you up from your slumber.

The pearl is amazing....
I like how Three of these magnificent players all were blue devils snare
Casey been playing that lick for a decade! used to watch him when i was in HS watchin BD vids
Everyone is off the chart amazing!
old man hands has been taken to a new whole level
The first guy is amazing! However all the guys have their hands in top shape.
Astounding. This sounds good. Not just chops.
I went to like this again. It is that good!!
Casey's snare sounds soooooo good!!!!!!!
Hell yeah dudes.. Good playing
I like the first guy a lot! His technique is amazing! He’s all technique and little tricks!
To be fair you do want some tricks in a solo. You don’t want none and you don’t want too much
it’s so interesting how different scott and brandons’ drums are tuned
they are all fantastic!!! incredible!!!!! very nice!!!!!
Brandon was the best, and is the best. He IS the future and has the cleanest chops I've ever heard
Humans are amazing!!!
6:30 - SCOJO knows that beat!
that 3rd guy sounded like blast ,and dang brandon Ive seen him grow up on yourtube how insane
