F*** yah... as a quad I love "Tengo" more than any other solo to date, even my own writing. something about those booming tenor drums the snares play introing the solo & the release of the solo that just shoots out like fire, with dragons & ends with the weird right hand up & finger twiddle visual.
Yeah 97 was my best year of drumming ….we was fire at finals too …. I got yelled at by scojo for hyping at the end of conflict in Morocco and my response was IT WAS FUCKING CLLLLLEEEEAAAAAAN and he laughed it off hahahaha
Anybody got any Roger Carter/95BD stories??????? Was he hardcore, double hardcore, triple hardcore, quadruple hardcore (ate lunch with right hand, triple beat with left) (yelled at others a lot & slapped their carrier with sticks to let 'em know)?
@@StevenJamesBurks I notice that through time, Scott, especially "in the lot" doesn't start & stop too much. He just listens & maybe makes a comment afterward but more than anything he just lets 'em play. When I marched Troop, we were beat into the ground until we got the tempo (and attack of course) right away. Pushups, more pushups... if you were singled out... instructor asks for stick & throws it as far as they can & you have to go get it. 'nother day in paradise.
Timing in this era is a lot more organic- interp is one of the ways in which batteries in the 80s and 90s established unique sonic identities, and it's very cool. In the early aughts, there was a moment where metronomes and long rangers were allowed in the lot, and that made interpretation more homogeneous between different groups. But, in era of this video, groups definitely have a sort of signature interpretation in the same way that, for instance, Elvin Jones swings differently from Roy Haynes or Tony Williams.
@@Carlito_Sway That’s exactly right. Before 93 Star Re-defined the next few years, cadets had a sound, devils had a sound, Vanguard had a sound, VK had a sound, Madison had a sound. 94 devils changed drastically and then dictated the next many years and most lines followed suit. It felt like a decade of everyone playing at 200 BPM. I love that Rennick Still rocks the lot with no metronome and really let’s vanguard gel before going in to do the show.
@@bonkersmcgee4356 THAT's my true belief... I wonder whether it's because in the 90s going back into the 80s, lines drummed "through the drum" with heavy use of rebound vs. "now-adays" where it seems everyone uses such a light, "on-the-head" interpretation. Me, a Hannum REBOUND THROUGH THE DRUM TO YOUR FEET, believes that with that type of technique it's easier to quantize. Am I making sense?
Rest In Peace Brian Chavez
Seeing him drum made my day,
The 94-97 BD lines are so fun to watch and have great writing to boot

@@StevenJamesBurks howdy, just in case, I’m not Jeff Lee 🙂
I like how the tap off and the tempo that's played are usually 2 very different things.
@@StevenJamesBurks Where and when did you March?

@@StevenJamesBurks Reactionary descending temporal feedback loop
this was especially true in 96
I see Roger, I click
i saw roger too
Each one of these guys could have had a role in the movie Point Break.
Most underrated comment. Great job!
@@JP-pt3ud tanks, mate! It’s my favorite shitty movie.
I know these guys didn’t win drums (congrats to Cavies), but there was no funner book to play in ‘95. Wow.
5:04 And there is “Freestyle Rudiments” Geoff Fry to Sean Vega’s left
Back when their drums sounded good. And this is from VHS!
God bless you. 😎🤙
FO SHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
from 9:22 on it´s one of the most musical arrangements they ever had
This gave me the warm fuzzies for 95
Ok all these years it’s been bugging me and never found out an answer. What was the second snare for?
I remember using those type of snare carriers my fresh year in 1997. Hahahaha
Did folks interpret notes differently back then? I can’t help but feel some push and pull, all while playing together, of course.

tempos definitely fluctuate. But the interp of diddles/doubles in this time period is very unique. Much tighter than today.

@@Carlito_Sway like "open" vs. "closed" interpretation of rolls?
