I started playing the drums because of this movie. Moved on to guitar/piano, then sang/wrote songs for a few years. I look back and realize how big of an impact this had on me. Truly a classic..
Devon took it extra by stepping in front of him and going down to one knee to show off and keep the attention on him knowing the rest of the band would step up lean over and join the solo artist to finish together 😂 Also threw in his own freestyle solo at the end
Jacob Bush I was in the marching band in high school myself and I think what he means is after the marching season the drum line has its own performance season where they do performances without the rest of the band. I remember going to some of the competitions in the winter
You're lucky... I wasn't fortunate enough to enroll in a high school with a decent marching band... my high school was a 3A class school & my graduating class had 99 members total... so there wasn't a lot of funding available for the music program, so we were stuck with decade-old marching equipment and a single head band director and a single assistant... that translated into literally zero effort being put into coaching the drumline. Everything we did I had to do myself as drum captain, including any drumline features at pep rallies or other events, & writing all the drum cadences myself... like I said, count yourself lucky. There's a lot of kids living in rural areas who never get the opportunity to be a part of a well-developed marching band, no matter the desire, or skill, or work ethic they put in...
Band is not about one person. Its about a team. U want to be a star then join boxing. All sports even band are a team effort. U want to be solo then be in boxing
The one thing I didn’t catch as a kid about this scene is when he was challenged to take the solo he wasn’t scared of the moment he couldn’t read music and didn’t know the solo part until it was showed to him if you noticed he watched him play the cadence one time through before he stepped up
....wut? as someone "deep" into music, I couldn't disagree more. He not only froze up here, after his ego got him the solo, he didn't deliver. Not until his ego was on the line. Then he decided to join in. Then he does an impromptu solo...TF? That's just stupid. It's a movie about a hot head drummer who has a problem with authority and thinks he always knows best. It's that same attitude that drove him to not be able to read music.
Devon was so disrespectful, Sean gave him a chance to go up and do his solo but he didn’t go up. What was the point of waiting for Sean to go up and then for you to go in front of him like that like what.
No.... the scene was showing that initially he was shook in front the audience.... and section leader knew that would humble him.... but Devon couldn't allow him self to be a punk especially knowing he was told he could so in the scene he got over the fear and proved to section leader im better than you.... the scene was supposed to show a range of emotion
Correct. I had to watch the movie again to understand….Devon wasn’t scared to do the solo. He simply didn’t know how to play it due to his inability when it comes to reading music. He needed Shawn to do it first so that he can get it down pat (the same way he learned to play King Tut in practice). His ability to learn that fast visually was a special gift.
@@likewizethasphittah I thought that was made clear when they showed him watching Sean in slow motion. He could only copy what someone else did before him, he could not do it first because he could not read the music.
@@danielorr7124 You are absolutely correct💯I guess from my perspective, most people who I know watched the movie thought he was nervous and had to get his confidence up to step out there to do the solo. I thought the same way until I watched it a few times.
This movie was based on North Carolina A&T State Universitys drumline. In the 90s they were the band in the land. We use to buy tickets to the football game just to see the drumline and the step show. Their step shows were pretty awesome too. We would hurry up and get tickets because they would sell out so fast.
Daniela Chaudhary Fiore Lmao my band director doesnt care if you marched with the best drumline of all time scv and got a perfect score. You act stupid you get cut
My fiance played in this movie when he was in college. I'm so proud because this movie is a classic, loved this movie. He also told me that nick and the other main character didn't know how to play the drums so they had people fill in for them. Remember people its just a movie and they can, cut, edit etc. 😂😂 yup yup
This movie and Sheila E are what made me get on that snare drum, i had to play snare to get to quads. This came out when I was the 5th grade. Damn I'm old. 31 now lol
To witness your Children going ALL-OUT like this....To have been a part of their Lives...To see a younger Brother becoming a Peer/Equal with his other Brother... TO negotiate CONFLICT via absolute performance and sheer proof. That's what this is. No violence, just skill and performance. AMAZING!! 😇🥰😯😯🤠😎🤓🤓 I've had a few moments like this in my Life. WOW!! This scene still takes my beathe away. Good Job, folks. GREAT job!!~...
Sean gave him his spot since Devin was cocky. And at the crucial moment Devin didn't take that spotlight when it was given to him. And Sean did it himself as he originally was but Devin challenge him. And when Sean wasn't living up to the moment as seen in the clip that's when Devin then took the spotlight lol.
It's Battle of the Bands time across the country now in November! Here in New Orleans- we have Southern vs Grambling universities. It's like the movie Drumline! 🎶
Its funny because once your in a real drumline all of this is silly child's play. Nice you can play a diddle roll with accented taps...me too. Also when you're in drumline you aren't supposed to look constipated....
rct3isepic Im guessing you was on a drumline before. If you dont mind me asking, can you educate me on the big differences between the movie and what you been through. (Im sure no one started dueling with drumsticks to see who is better in a over aggresive manner)
Jago Nexus this guy would have been kicked off the line at the start of the movie. Also, make a straight face, if you look like you are struggling, well, shit will go down
That's a huge stunt like in any marching band you will either be called out at practice or get yelled at by the band director trust me for aspiring line drummers don't ever do this unless it's part of the show
My favorite scene in the movie. I can definitely imagine a whole generation of kids joining band in highschool or learning drums just because of this movie.
When I first watched the movie I thought it was lame but when I grew up i was watching the movie like hell if i can get a drum like that I'd join any band
Back in my days, my teacher will go to the library and rent us a TV to watch this movie in class and she was will wheel out a huge TV. She regret it for the next few weeks because we using anything straight into drum sticks and banging on our tables.
I knew so many people that saw this movie and then joined the band in their high-schools and instantly quit after putting the work into it. I remember running laps with my equipment on at a band camp and said fuck this shit and then not to mention the overbearing coaches. It's nothing like how the movie portrays it to be. They showed how hard the practices are, but played up the drama and fun part to overshadow the practice.
I definitely understood why Dr Lee was mad, what I didn't understand is why he didn't punish Devan too? Now I realized that he felt that Sean knew better than to 1 up him.
I started playing the drums because of this movie. Moved on to guitar/piano, then sang/wrote songs for a few years. I look back and realize how big of an impact this had on me. Truly a classic..
😂😂😂 me too and i still play drums like a 3 year old lol
same
wow...this movie means a lot to you...change your life

Not quite my tempo.
This was so emotional. Nick cannan played this role so well.
bria r he did

He knew that child support was coming lol.
His rolls were good too i guess

Right lol Sean told him to take the lead not be a cocky kid lol he got way too big headed
REALLY WOW thanks captain obvious we would have NEVERRRR figured that out
@@josaidso8438 Your welcome glad I could help people like you that missed it
no all that was planned for sean except devin decided to take it last second after chickening out at first
I used to think this was the sickest thing ever. Then I joined my high school marching band.
😂😂😂 drumline amd marching band are two different things man😂😂 drumline at my school lit af 👌
Hi How are you drumlines are meant to be a part of a marching band, what tf do you mean they're different
Jacob Bush I was in the marching band in high school myself and I think what he means is after the marching season the drum line has its own performance season where they do performances without the rest of the band. I remember going to some of the competitions in the winter
Ryan Wiuff Thank you almost exactly what i meant but our drumline int apart of the band at all
You're lucky... I wasn't fortunate enough to enroll in a high school with a decent marching band... my high school was a 3A class school & my graduating class had 99 members total... so there wasn't a lot of funding available for the music program, so we were stuck with decade-old marching equipment and a single head band director and a single assistant... that translated into literally zero effort being put into coaching the drumline.

Nick cannon makes the weirdest lip expressions thru out this whole movie..lmao😂😂😂
😪😂😂
Fr all I read from his face was 😐😠😕😑
Put it on 2x at 1:28,its looks and sounds funny af😂😂😂😂
Duck Lips is the new Nick Lips
Mike Flare lmaooo
As a teenager I thought “maybe when I’m older I’ll understand why dr. Lee is so mad”. At 34 I still feel like he’s a hater
He's mad cuz he told that fool to stay in his place and he rebelled anyway
Band is not about one person. Its about a team. U want to be a star then join boxing. All sports even band are a team effort. U want to be solo then be in boxing
Hahahhahhajaha
One Band, One Sound 😂
Devon was hardheaded and he wanted it too be about him. I watched it last night lol
The one thing I didn’t catch as a kid about this scene is when he was challenged to take the solo he wasn’t scared of the moment he couldn’t read music and didn’t know the solo part until it was showed to him if you noticed he watched him play the cadence one time through before he stepped up
Lol damn thanks for pointing that out because I didn't think about that
Oh ok I didn’t catch that either
this definitely made the scene better lol
He had already heard the solo at practice.
Thanks for pointing that out 😮
My band teacher would strangle me alive if I tried to pull something like this
Brennen Sexton 😂😂😂😂
Screw ur band teacher. Do as what you like. But make sure you don't make a fool of ur self tho 🤣
Lolll
@jeffg24LT21 lolll i could just imagine with the bull horn like... keep it wuiet people the band is trying to play
If the line I’m in ever looked this bad we would be shut down in an instant
Tries that at practice, gets kicked off the drum line
Pine To The Cone fr tho
Pine To The Cone drum AT&T
wanya wanya A&T
that's because you are not a loose nick cannon ;)
Pine To The Cone 😂😂😂😂😂😂
If your deep into music... this movie is a brilliant masterpiece, especially this scene!!!💯

@@jeremymagee2650 I mean, he has somewhat of a point
@@doctorwhofan-if7vx Still my opinion man, so kick rocks with loser guy
I totally agree with you on this one it's really amazing 💯💯💯
That step in front of his leader, into the position of maximum vulnerability, gives me chills every time
Dr. Lee like "you better not do a solo."
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Then he does a solo.
Hahahaha
Dr lee should be glad that he got 2 badass drummers smh
Best scene in the movie. I played this shit on the snare from middle school all the way through college.
Yo Jamal! Dont sing it, Bring it!! Put it on RUclips so we ALL can see you do it. Lol
we support you. get on it! >
Jamal Thomas p
Jett Blacc classic man , if u were in middle school when this movie came out and u were a drummer u were memorizing every cadence
3 years later and still no video.. lmao Geez, i hate trolls
Orlando Jones was SO GOOD in this! His face here is priceless. Subtle but withering.
Devon was so disrespectful, Sean gave him a chance to go up and do his solo but he didn’t go up. What was the point of waiting for Sean to go up and then for you to go in front of him like that like what.
Devon couldn't read sheet music so he waited to see how the solo went, memorized it, and took off
To say "I'm better." And it's true.
Cause he can’t read music and has photographic memory
No.... the scene was showing that initially he was shook in front the audience.... and section leader knew that would humble him.... but Devon couldn't allow him self to be a punk especially knowing he was told he could so in the scene he got over the fear and proved to section leader im better than you.... the scene was supposed to show a range of emotion
@@MrSugardove no he literally couldn’t read music so he let Sean go up there so he could memorize the solo
Why is it such a powerful scene i get chills every time lol
With each beat you can just feel that band director's blood pressure rising...
he’s actually so talented though.... he memorized that shit so quick
Its pretty easy oncce you have an ear for music
Yeah he did.
but his attitude really stinks
The music is not really that hard. It's high school level
@@opteezy5622 right.
Once he got the solo cadence down then joined him I get chills everytime
took me this comment to connect the dots that he couldn't read that music
Correct. I had to watch the movie again to understand….Devon wasn’t scared to do the solo. He simply didn’t know how to play it due to his inability when it comes to reading music. He needed Shawn to do it first so that he can get it down pat (the same way he learned to play King Tut in practice). His ability to learn that fast visually was a special gift.

They don't make quality movies like this anymore🤦🏾♀️
We need more black productions with heart like this. Not the crime and ghetto drama flicks.
I agree I am so tired of the media production of gang shows/over sexualization - why can't we have clean entertainment 😊
The music when he steps up gives me chills everytime lol idk y
Same. It's intense
The music with Dr. Lee face expression was sick af 🔥🔥I definitely agree
The best acting Nick Cannon ever did in all his career..
Love don’t cost a thing
Who saw the Tik Tok about work emails ?? 😭
It was intense 😩😂😂
BRUH! 🙆🏾♂️
Me!!!!
That’s why I’m here 😂😂
You gta give to the work emails tik tok tho it was well done
Who else here from that TikTok vid lol this some good memories
lmao me
Me too
Me... that algorithm is amazing

Lol I had to replay it this a classic

We use to buy tickets to the football game just to see the drumline and the step show. Their step shows were pretty awesome too. We would hurry up and get tickets because they would sell out so fast.
One of my favorite drum scenes 1:15 is just perfect.
If I did that during a performance or any time in my drumline I would be kicked off.
I would do it
Do it
Daniela Chaudhary Fiore Lmao my band director doesnt care if you marched with the best drumline of all time scv and got a perfect score. You act stupid you get cut
@Daniela Chaudhary Fiore yes they would lol
That’s why it’s college 😏
My fiance played in this movie when he was in college. I'm so proud because this movie is a classic, loved this movie. He also told me that nick and the other main character didn't know how to play the drums so they had people fill in for them. Remember people its just a movie and they can, cut, edit etc. 😂😂 yup yup
I've never seen an Orlando Jones character look so pissed lol
He played Dr. Lee to perfection.
Watch his scenes in American Gods
Especially after seeing him on Nick Cannon's Wyld N Out.
1:11 - What we’re all here for.
Only for tik-tok fans. The OGs like the whole clip
BRO I WAS LITERALLY TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE SAY THAT
The scene is less than 3 min we patient enough
Almost two decades ago, tiktok brought back memories of the best marching band Instrumental ever!!
Devon was doing what Sean told him to do. Taking his solo
They both shouldn’t did that. It a team effort we shouldn’t think we better then other…
I never knew nick was sick, my prayers up for him. Don’t leave us too soon 🙏🏽
Love how they were using match grip when they started the roll and then all of a sudden they switched to tradition al grip without stopping. Hahaha
Thomas Dixon lmao at 1:45 you can see the captain switch between grips over nicks right shoulder.
Ok but what does that mean... in English?
@@Phronesis7 if you look at his left hand it changes motion and that’s kindaxweird
Proof that nick is a God! At 1:45 they are doing match grip and on the same roll he switches to traditional instantly!
Dude, totally obvious use of double, other wise they'd have shown both his hands and face at the same time -_-
Still one of the greatest moments on a film
This movie motivated me at 12 to get on my high schools drumline, played snare 3 out of 4 years.
1:45 “Hey, there’s no full auto in the building
**This isn’t full auto**
“It isn’t?”
No. This is. 2:00
“Dayum bro”
Underrated comment😂😂
😂😂
*Captain America, pointing excitedly*
I understood that reference!
This movie made me want to go to college
Everytime I watch this it gives me chills
Watched this when I was little, here I am my senior year in my 4th year of band and marching 4th bass drum
I loved this movie! So fantastic! These kids were amazing!
Oddly enough the line is more together in this scene than ANY of the scenes in the final drum battle.
Yup. Drives me nuts lol
This movie and Sheila E are what made me get on that snare drum, i had to play snare to get to quads. This came out when I was the 5th grade. Damn I'm old. 31 now lol
I’m dead af bruh 😭 when he got in front I was rolling
Bruh 😂😂😂😂
Be honest. I know everybody that plays the drums has thought about doing this at least once in their life😂
Yup this is what our intrusive thoughts look like😂
Orlando jones should’ve been nominated for atleast a bet award for his performance. I really feared for nicks life a few times.
To witness your Children going ALL-OUT like this....To have been a part of their Lives...To see a younger Brother becoming a Peer/Equal with his other Brother...
TO negotiate CONFLICT via absolute performance and sheer proof. That's what this is. No violence, just skill and performance. AMAZING!! 😇🥰😯😯🤠😎🤓🤓
I've had a few moments like this in my Life. WOW!! This scene still takes my beathe away. Good Job, folks. GREAT job!!~...
It has been a very long time since I've seen this movie! Classic!
Ahh if marching band and drum line was really like this
some _weird_gamer ever been to an HBCU?
The sound in this movie is crazy amazing .
crazy how he did devon sean’s solo in less than a minute and add a little spice to it that boy was so talented
1:43. Did he switch from match to traditional grip..ahhh the art of movie magic😂
bruh 💀
No, at 1:45 you can see his stick twirl back to matched grip over nicks shoulder.
How he spittin bars and not even talking 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Smh... This scene made me mad as hell. This would never happen in a real college swac band 🤣😂
Connie Marie ... Sho you right
And he was a crab. He would’ve got his ass beat
Sean gave him his spot since Devin was cocky. And at the crucial moment Devin didn't take that spotlight when it was given to him. And Sean did it himself as he originally was but Devin challenge him. And when Sean wasn't living up to the moment as seen in the clip that's when Devin then took the spotlight lol.
Ye cuz no one wants to stand out n take a risk that’s what’s wrong wit this generation
@@rhern206 Wise words yo!
They needa make more movies like this man
My favorite scene in the whole movie is the 4 stroke beatoff at Falcon Carwash. They keep is O.S. love it
The fact that this is Southwest Dekalb High still sets me off with how good it is, absolute legends.
1:30 is when the shit is going crazy
I love how they wrote it so that when Nick comes up the first guy just lets him be disrespectful instead escalating.
i really just spent like 30 minutes looking for this and im glad i found it
f to those who could not find it 😔
I almost gave up
My favorite scene
This movie got me started playing snare drum and joined drumline
It's Battle of the Bands time across the country now in November! Here in New Orleans- we have Southern vs Grambling universities. It's like the movie Drumline! 🎶
When I was little I thought this was so technical.
Then I actually learned to play drums and its literally as easy as stuff I played in high school
Coach got mad
Who’s here after the “arguing with your girl through text” tik tok?
Lmaooo bro yeah
Lmfaoooo
Me😂😂😂
Nah someone link it, please?
it was the emails at work tik tok for me lol
Still have goosebumps when I hear this !! After those years !
I cant get over this movie, thank you Tiktok
I thought the drumline name was AT&T then i got wifi for the first time
Hahaha! How does WiFi have to do with the team's name?
Its funny because once your in a real drumline all of this is silly child's play. Nice you can play a diddle roll with accented taps...me too. Also when you're in drumline you aren't supposed to look constipated....

DUDE SICK
I agree, except on the constipated part. On that, I respectfully disagree
i also agree besides the constipated part. i move my jaw around when i play.
That's a huge stunt like in any marching band you will either be called out at practice or get yelled at by the band director trust me for aspiring line drummers don't ever do this unless it's part of the show
Who here misses this movie🙋♂️bc I definitely do
This just goes the show that a person attitude and pride will ruin every opportunity handed to them
It was kind of dope with both of them playing though.
My favorite scene in the movie. I can definitely imagine a whole generation of kids joining band in highschool or learning drums just because of this movie.
I love it Nick cannon learn the solo just by seeing it ones that's a goat
OMG!!! When he took center stage and the band move up to fill in the Gap… it was so beautiful!!!!
When I first watched the movie I thought it was lame but when I grew up i was watching the movie like hell if i can get a drum like that I'd join any band
Back in my days, my teacher will go to the library and rent us a TV to watch this movie in class and she was will wheel out a huge TV. She regret it for the next few weeks because we using anything straight into drum sticks and banging on our tables.
Drum line is what inspires me to join band

Hahaha Wow. That's just sad. This movie was a disgrace to real matching bands and drum lines.
Christian James running with the drum. Ahh the good days 💯
Christian James but get super fit during band season so there’s a plus side
Child hood memories…. Watched this movie about 20xs
Here before anyone says “who saw this on tiktok” lol
Bruh dude had me weak wen doin Dr Lee 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A whole generation that didn't see Drumline smh lol
That video had me weak AF 😂😂😂😂 dude had it down packed. Including Nick cannons facial expressions. Namely the lips poked out lmaaaaaaoooooooo
@@NoAliasisneeded I swear to god 😂😂😂😂😂
I loved the TT version!
i was listening to this in many trends on insta, i'm glad i found from where it comes 😊
Epic,I like when devin did the solo
I will always ♥️ this movie!!!
Schmidt of New Girl brought me here
He couldn't read music but his talent to memorize a sequence on spot was impressive.
TikTok has done it again
An ex marching band member, the band wouldn't be the same without the drum-line or our director
I had a hard time finding this movie, i'm 24 now and when I first seen this movie I was probably 10 years or less.
Great memory
I definitely understood why Dr Lee was mad, what I didn't understand is why he didn't punish Devan too? Now I realized that he felt that Sean knew better than to 1 up him.
And to know that T.I. was supposed to play this role is ridiculous 😂😂
That would not have been a good fit at all. There is no better Devon Miles than Nick Cannon
This movie had such a impact on people becoming interested in drums back then.Everybody wanted to be the next nick cannon in school.
This scene was so intense yet so lit.
I remember my mother would put these on for no reason when I asked to watch a movie
Memories man
y'all look at nick cannon
1:00 When the horns come in I start sweating and goosebumps pop out.. just a bodily reaction
