that cymbal feature... my jaw is on the floor.
I saw this live at finals, and I now I'm watching the cymbal feature at 4:10 over and over and over and over because I just can't comprehend it's awesomeness.
that cymbal feature made me cry it was so beautiful
This show is absolutely beautiful. I think a "band" (any section or as a whole) performing this makes it that more meaningful. I was in concert band for 7 years, marching band for 5, and I played clarinet until my junior year. Band always felt like family but when I joined the drumline my junior year it was so different. We had done indoor my freshman and sophomore years and I played vibes. I loved it but... The line was my place. It was my home and my family. I know that this isn't just about a place of belonging and all but when the voiceover said there are bonds stronger than blood, I broke. A member of our band died my senior year and it just hit home. Amazing concept and amazing performance. Congrats you guys.
This is the greatest and always will be one of the greatest drum line shows performed
yaaaassss omg that tenor line this year tho!!!!!!
I am calling the police on the cymbal line because their feature made my jaw stay on the floor
So amazing to see this show into to see it at first clinic for this season and it makes me more motivated to be in pulse hopefully one day I will
These fusion of all international, cultural, ethnic traditions of ballet, percussion, harmonics, arrangements, strategics and i-dont.know-what shows us the future of challenges in team work and precision..... amazing !!!!!!!
Matt Corby!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so surprised and delighted to hear that song! in WGI!
LOVE YOU PULSE!!! Your Ohio home is proud of you. @newcovenantchurch
it was fun traveling across USA on the train to SE PULSE GETTING A GOLD MEDAL . Congratulations. !!!
As far as music is concerned, Pulse killed it. Very clean, very skillful. I'm just having a hard time digging the show design; to me it feels more like a high school play than an indoor drum line show. Still, congrats to Pulse on first place.
To me, that's just what the activity is becoming. Personally I love it.
+Connor Rakestraw I'd have to agree: the fewer voiceovers and vocal samples, the better. Excess props are also distracting, unless it's going after the humour route (or just showing off how many props you can fit into a single show).
+Dr. Duck: gaming the slow way I agree. I understand it's really hard to tell a new, compelling story every year, but I would be totally fine with more music and less voiceovers, even if it meant the story suffered. To me, the music should come first, always.
+Connor Rakestraw When i first saw the beds in preseason, i thought what the hell is this? This is either going to suck or be fantastic. After the seeing the Cookies RUclips orphan video that this based on and knowing these 2 designers, I was pretty sure it was going to be great. I guess the finals judges agreed.
+Connor Rakestraw This is the highest talent level in a drumline that I have ever seen. At the end of the first day of auditions in Sept, I told John Mapes that I thought there was enough talent to win WGI. Not only that, after seeing the hundreds of people that tried out, i thought they could have fielded a third WGI Indep World finalist. I think he agreed, but said they didn't have enough time to support all that. He was also doing Chino Hills this year. There are only so many hours in a day. Some of the kids that got cut from Pulse and POW ended up in some of the other 4 WGI World finalists from SoCal.
I loved this show so much.
Terry nailed that solo. big ups
That was incredibly beautiful
What an amazing day show!
This is awesome being able to watch it at Dayton damn. It was fun! Great job Pulse and congratz on 1st!
Congrats you guys! It was so cool getting to see it live

+ThatWasSexyPit no you're annoying
ThatWasSexyResponse
I just shat my pants
This drumset player tho...
Jacob👌🏻
That cymbal feature on point, we over here at my high school and we cant even get through our warm up sets
The Socal drumlines swept both world marching classes and top 2 in the concert world class. It's time to bring WGI championships back to the west. Or the Socal circuit should hold their own nationals.
+Pete Smith I agree - Dayton is a pain in the ass to travel to
Choreo Cookies Vibe XX 2015
it was all about the bass this year. would've liked to see more tenors in the spotlight! i also was personally more impressed with Rhythm X's show this year, but they got 4th..guess that's why I'm not a judge. still a great show as always.
That's how I felt! Rhythm X brought it this year and had a great performance. They were robbed of a medal. RCC had a decent performance but I felt like #thealpha should've won
+Raymond Garcia yes! glad to see someone else agrees, it seemed the crowd overall agreed too!
+Raymond Garcia Pulse was both cleanest and had the most difficult book - don't lie to yourself
+Beach Dreams The bass drummers were all rookies. But not your average rookies. There are Blue Devils (BD section leader), Blue Stars and I think Blue Coats in there. So I think you can appreciate why they were featured so much. They were monster from the first day of auditions thru finals.
+ThatWasSexyPit Nope. Just the cleanest.
That ending!!!!
I didn't know Shaq played quads
DEAD
+RoastersInc. ThatWasAGoodOne
And tommy from justkiddingfilms is a snare...
+b dizzle LOL YES
I would love to be in this battery because no matter how many runs you did you wouldn't be tired
Post final performances
4:35 - 5:06 My hand would fall off if I were in that front ensemble. One day I'll get there
Ya'll... Please go watch Cookies Vibe 2015. This Pulse Percussion group got their entire theme from one of my favorite dance sets from one of the most distinguished hip hop dance teams out there. Hopefully they gave some kind of credit? Otherwise this is some serious plagiarizing and honestly pisses me off...
i feel you man.
They only used a small part of it lol
+tomatoesandcacti To begin, I took a quick peek at your profile to see if you watch any drumlines or if you are a guy that is into the marching arts, which, if I am correct, you are not. To explain how I came across your comment, I was decided to see if there are any professional dance groups that I could compare Pulse's opening sequence to. I was a little disappointed and pissed off when the first video I clicked on happened to be the Cookies Vibe 2015 show, so I came to the comment section for some help. I was upset that Pulse stole from that show. And trust me, Pulse is my favorite WGI group, so I know how your feeling about them ripping off of another group. It's very clear that they stole the bed idea and the opening dance sequence from Cookies show. And yes, the opener music was (for a fact) the music that Cookies used in their show. However, after further inspection and some calming down, I thought about the rest of the show and even parts of the opener.
Once all of their drums were on, the show became their own. And that's the same for Cookies after they dropped the blankets (though their show was their own since the beginning). The writers for Pulse were inspired by Cookies show, and used a few similar concepts, but the entire show is it's own story after the drums are put on. The arrangements of Cookies song and Annie were something that the composers for Pulse had to write for percussion, making them their own style, and ok to use. To cover the plagiarism aspect you speak of, I'm sorry to say that there is none. Yes, their are similar concepts, but you have to remember, this is an art (and very similar to dance in a lot of ways). In most performance arts, their are many groups that borrow concepts from others. Think about how many shows there are about love, industry, heaven/hell, rebellion, etc. For specific show ideas, there are many upon the lines of: Dante's Inferno, Demons vs. Angels, The Apple of Eden, Apocalypse, Native Americans, The Lost Boys (Peter Pan), Fairy Tales, The 1920s, etc.
I hope this all helps you understand and not be upset with them. I encourage you to watch some other drumline shows to see how dance fits into it all. (Northcoast Academy 2011; Northcoast Academy 2012; Infinity Percussion 2016; Pulse 2014; RCC 2015; RCC 2016; MCM 2010; MCM 2011; MCM 2016; Stryke 2015; Rhythm X 2010; Rhythm X 2013; Broken City 2016)
+tomatoesandcacti I would start with Broken City 2016. That one's really good dance wise.
***** Way to go Arz!
isnt this the same concept as cookies 2015 show with orphans?
+Azukinimagician Yes. Check out the Cookies youtube version. It's amazing too.
+Azukinimagician that was literally the inspiration for this show :)
+Pete Smith I'm pretty sure he saw cookies already because he's saying how they're similar lol
These guys are biters.. even some of the Choreo looks very similar.
I wish I could be as good of a mallet player as they are.
practice
+Zachary Kinnard ^^^That'sTheTruth
+ThatWasSexyPit nice seeing you here!
There are parts from "Dr Gradus ad Parnassum" from Debussy right ?
Yupp
really need someone to transcribe this
This is awesome! Can you guys post more of these?
Like chino hills
WOOOOO MANNY!!!! :)
Dr.Gradus :3
Will someone please tell me the song used in the opener?
Brother-Matt corby
Wao!!!! :O
I see some Vibe XX 2015 Cookies in there ;)
Phil Viani!!
Wheres Rcc's Performance?
They use promark sticks
+MarioPlaysMC this year rcc actually used innovative percussion sticks
Is the guy from China hills center 3m
Is the snare from chino hills in this line? Also the center from bluecoats?
The snare kid from chino hills is here. The Center Snare for 2015 Bluecoats (Mike Davis) is with Rhythm X and the Center Snare for 2016 Bluecoats is Aaron Bailie and I think he is at Infinity or Rhythm X. From what I have seen there are 2 Bluecoats snare players (Matt Allen and Terry Li) are here
If anyone can get the solo music from 2:30, please link me! Thanks
so beautifully written
avoided all the wgi cliches
has anybody transcribed it? atleast the opener
Which stick are the snares using?
who's got the snare sheet music?
xylo player on fleek
What song did they use for their opener?
Matt Corby-Brother
remo or evans drum heads?
snare sling or snare carrier
Carrier. The mounting hardware on the drum is tilted. You could never March properly with a sling.
+Christian Barbier thanks dog
+Christian Barbier Pearl or Tama
+Christian Barbier Lol what do you even know about drums?
+Mark Porter hey Pearl or Tama
Has anyone noticed that
They missed the cymbal toss
somebody rimmed it up three times at 2:53

This show won? Really?? Hmm...
hum babe way to steal from Cookies....
i didn't know ray william johnson plays bass (bass 1)
8 dislikes from rcc fanboys
lol, i like both
They get first every 2 years
+Kaleb Roney Yes if you're only counting the last 4 years. If you count the last 6 they got 1st in 2010, 2014, and this year of course. But they got 3rd in 2012
I thought it was a great idea for pulse to wear Yeezy this year
This is the 2nd video of this competition that I am watching and now I'm sure: Music is not made for competition, it makes it flat and boring. Guys do something beautiful with those incredible skills you have, don't waste it in that!!!
+MegaZombywoof Competition makes music fun :D
How can you steal some shit and not even know the meaning behind the theme...they were raising money and awareness for a cause, you guys simply bit their creativity. No respect
Are they wearing Yeezy lol
Wish WGI was more about drumming instead of "dancing/theatrics" !!!
world championships lmaooo😂😂😂
Fantastic music but annoying dance routines and narrator, this is a weird championship.
I agree and so little drumming! Am i the only one that sees so little drumming and so much theatrics and props?
+jakemf1 I was told by one of the Pulse guys, that they actually play for more time than anyone else.
I believe that ! I was just speaking with someone there and they mentioned the same thing where did the drum line go in winter drum line? They even used a voice sample for a song why not have person sing the few lines?
