Memories! So many great humans in this ensemble.

[@prim7112]

Those have to be the most visually appealing drums I’ve ever seen

[@subbot8077]

Yeah, they're pretty gorgeous!

[@jerrydial5984]

The more I watch these guys, the more I like them. Very tight, nice job.

[@CBALLZ666]

I love the tuning and sound of all the drums in this line, sounds so sweet, and I love the book too. Great job peoples!!!!

[@malditobandito98]

BASS SLAYIN' NOOB 86
Just goes to prove how underrated Mapex truly is. I can speak from experience, the tenors are heavy as hell, but they sound beautiful when tuned correctly.

[@bananaboxman3780]

THE DRUMS, THE TUNING, ITS BEAUTIFUL

[@toxiq7399]

these were the most beautiful shells i’ve seen in any Dci line from 2001 to present day.

FREAKIN LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!

[@KM-px8cs]

I love the drum colors, and the Spongebob reference haha

[@gavin_bigred]

The white hardware, blueish green shells, and black heads are so fuckin perfect

[@prodigydrummer]

This line was sick

[@josephrosenbaum3343]

Mapex tops the board imo. Amazing sound

[@jacksonweinberg3544]

phcasper these are specoal mapex drums you cant get anywhere else, mapex that we can get do not sound like these

[@paradiddle5664]

These were standard shells with a custom matte finish exterior, the internals are the same.@@danielharrison3462

[@stevensalazar2229]

Dope book!!

[@grippdrums]

Underrated

[@davidsantiago4140]

Most of this line is in broken city this year lmao

[@cartoonringo]

In case anyone is wondering, they beat Bluecoats in drums

[@Queeze101]

*Percussion, and no I don't think they did. BK was 6th, Bloo was 5th.*

[@cartoonringo]

Actually, Jeff Prosperie gave them fourth in drums. recaps.competitionsuite.com/1b7406bd-65dc-41b2-b028-f8cac3826e80.htm

[@jonathantherose303]

I thought Boston Crusaders should've beat both lol

[@Queeze101]

@@cartoonringo - Percussion*. And they averaged out to 6th. So they got 6th. And Bluecoats got 5th.

[@adamjoseph6542]

Yeah bro you was wrong

[@Synthetrix]

That's some tight shit right there my friends.

[@nosocksfly]

Sicc

[@jacksonweinberg3544]

wasnt that the girl that marched broken city

[@Paradiddles.1]

Yes

[@Bassed]

Was Bass 5 in oregon crusaders before?

[@daintersc4]

OneBadCat Aaron marched 2014 OC on bass 3, then 2014 on bass 1 (or 0 depending on how you look at the line). Now he's marching bass 2 for BK 2018

[@raretrick]

why are the only good drumlines the blue ones?

[@jacksonweinberg3544]

raretrick you forget cavies and scv and crown

[@noahneman4586]

hitting_things_with _broken_trees Don’t forget about Boston and Cadets

[@Inspadave]

I don't think Yuuka was singing the Campfire Song Song.

[@LukeZuniga]

Inspadave Ironic, because she duts the loudest

[@Inspadave]

@@escapethematrix4204 she actually speaks well. Granted, colloquialisms might go over her head, but carrying on a normal conversation she does well. Going out on a limd, but I suspect her English is better than your Japanese.

[@nsmith996]

Can someone explain why snares stick their right arm so far out?

[@davidblevins1122]

taydolf swiftler the left is only tucked because it holds traditional grip and the hand is upside down.

[@nsmith996]

IndyBoyzOutdoorz I'm referrng to the right elbow. They stick it outward. Seems a weird way to play.

[@mattvayanos8404]

They do it in order to achieve a 90 degree angle between the sticks. The left hand naturally wants to have the correct angle, but to match it, the right elbow needs to jut a little further out

[@cheesus3514]

Jesus their basses are so tall

Why has no band ever thought of playing with diffrend snare drum sizes? Just like the bass drums

[@1whoDoesSimply]

How would that benefit or be useful?
