Every single branch of the military (including coast guard) has musicians and its own drumline. Their service is to play with excellent quality. I'm not certain if the convention will be followed by the Space Force but looking forward to what they have in mind
Same. I used to dream of playing drums in marching band. I played trumpet instead. I don't regret that choice. Trumpet is one of my favorite instruments. But I will always have a soft spot for drums.
It's never too late to learn, but where it'll be applicable is the real question. I used to play the snare in our schools marching band and it's tiring AF Edit: but it was fun, free food and tons of great friend
At least in America they are allowed to do something like that. Here in Germany, the Military Musicians rarely play in the Public nowadays and quite a lot of Old Songs, they arent allowed to play anymore.
@@faiththomas1749 Why does she need to look up your recommendations for? 🤷🏻♀️She is just talking about these drummers who are serving in the Navy and how they are awesome drummers and they deserve fun and it’s great that they’re entertaining the citizens. All colleges that different ethnicities in the U.S. have some great drummers.
After 26 years of life, I just now realized after they all lined up that a drum line is all the parts of a mobile drum set. Bass, snare, and toms. They even have a high hat in there!
This is where the drumset came from actually. During the depression bands had to downsize and combine roles and at the same time technology was improving on how to manipulate cymbals, drum tension and the movement of the drum angles, plus electricity and modern inventions like ceiling fans and later air conditioning meant that instead of marching around or standing up, musicians started to play indoors because customers and audience members wanted that and the bands catered. Early drum sets were nothing more than a bass drum, a lowboy (old hi hat cymbals that sat on the floor), a snare drum and a China drum (tom tom as we know it today). They had to consolidate jobs! It used to be one man's passion and pride to be a bass drummer or a cymbalist in a drum & fife corps, drum & lyre, drum & bugle or drum & whatever really. :)
My Grandma was a Professional Jazz Drummer, my Mother was a Drummer, and my Sister as well! Both my Mother and Sister were on Drum-lines! I was the Mascot 🤦🏻♀️ and before games and parades sometimes my Mom would put the Drums on with my Sis and play and all the other kids thought it was so cool! We Love the Navy Drum Line! Great Job guys!
That's awesome. I was the first female section leader on my school' Drumline, and we were awesome - won High Drums 5/6 competitions 😌 we marched 5 snares 5 cymbals 4 tenors and SIX bases 🤯
The military already does play music in parades, for entertainment, 4th of July. There’s even videos of military marching bands and drum lines on RUclips.
Imagine going to the airport and hearing that from a distance. Then find out that's the Navy. Welp. I'll be late for my flight listening to them. Yepery
Love this sound!!! My Dad was Navy! Makes me think of him, I was so proud of my Dad as a Veteran! He was so humble, just a stock clerk on the Aircraft Carrier the Boxer! God Bless Our Military!
@@rayofsunshine6300 i’ve done all kinds of percussion gigs, and i have to say marching band is my favorite. i spent two years in pit (drum set) and this year on snare and i’m going snare next year and senior year
I was in the Drum and Bugle Corps in my boot camp company (CO 941, San Diego, CA, 1982), and I can tell you from personal experience that it is a tremendous thrill and an honor to play for our fellow Americans. I was fortunate enough to be able to march in a Veterans Day Parade in El Cajon, CA, and some of the older vets had tears in their eyes watching us march/play.
This is truly awesome! Even though I have extreme sensitivity to sound, if I was there, I’d probably follow them, and dance along. I’d just have to deal with the panic attack later. I believe that the rhythm of the drums, makes the world a better place! More drum lines, please!
Fun fact drum lines were used to boost morale, troop signals as well as drowning out the sounds of flesh being torn apart by flying lead, explosive shells, the sounds of dying men. Music 🎶 drowns out horror ❤
Had to call my husband in...we dated while he was at USNA and was a proud NAVY wife. But oh were the Army/Navy games fun (in Philadelphia in those days LONG AGO). You brought a big smile to his face and mine!
We need them every Monday to get us started and every Friday to keep us even happier when leaving..God Bless the Navy They sound really good And Have a Good Day Everybody ✨
I can only dream of my school having a drum line of this scale and talent, our underfunded music program has two bass drums, two snares, and one quad player :,)
Played well, looked great in the uniforms, and got the crowd cheering. My biggest issue is their feet weren't in time. They're a drumline. That was drilled into my head more then the music my first 3 years of it. Of course I was only in school band and it could totally be different for the navy.
Pro tip: Marching in a building is required to be deliberately in "route step", ie _NOT_ in step, to avoid setting up a resonant vibration which could possibly reverberate and cause damage or collapse. HTH HAND
He wasn’t talking about on the escalator you morons. There is still a cadence to follow and like he said, it really should be automatic past first year marching band.
our school had a drum corps which would play at the school ANZAC day ceremony and during the community parade where we marched a the head of the parade, and i wish i joined it earlier then i did, unfortunately this year we didn't have the numbers to play. Watching this reminds me of that parade, and really gets me moving with that awesome beat. Excellent work!
Nice drumming for sailors. ;) If you were Marines you wouldn't have let those folks break ranks though. It's been so long, I can't remember if we went through that at the SOM or if not letting anyone break ranks was something that was only from boot camp. We practiced it in the field bands, though.
Those drums look so heavy says the old girl with back problems! This is an old clip but it shows how time actually makes performances better. Thank you for making hours & hours of practice into perfectly controlled enjoyment.
And this people is why you can't let the sailors get bored. Because stuff like this happens. It can be really funny but try to get them to return to work, and only tears will follow.🤣🤣
When the old Man of the boat is riding that ass this is what his ship sounds like when they are at work high alert Battle stations . Just beating it out all in time and working as one. Got to love that drilling and teamwork
I've read the comments of how good they look, how talented they are etc. As a veteran, I agree. But I was also watching them and thinking, they are so out of step that their drill instructor must be dying of embarrassment! Come on, kids, it's not that hard to keep in step. :)
For some weird reason, I just had this image in my head, of a technical death metal drummer just doing literally everything they're playing all atonce, all on his own :D Snare, one hand. Cymbals, one hand. Bass drums both feets and lets go.
Very nice drum cadence. I’m a Navy vet and a musician. But for a very nice group of folks with so much rhythm, as a military ensemble you could march in step. Just adds to the military precision. Also, did we learn nothing from “Turn Back Time” when it comes to Squids looking cool when they dance in uniform? Other than that, very nicely done.
So, not to disrespect the Navy or any US branch. But they are stepping out of time, granted off of an escalator, and getting back into formation. Just my highschool drumline kickin in ya know. Still love this by all means so cool!

Coast guard has a band
Those things that the orange star wars cantina guys play? That will be the space force's contribution
No drums for the Space Force...sound doesn't travel through the vacuum of space.
😄
Space Force cadets always have been, and always will continue to go to Air Force
@@kpmariner1998 I'd reckon they'll have to. One of the fundamental qualification for the Space Shuttle's crew is that you have to be a test pilot.
What an enjoyable show, riding down an escalator while still playing the drums in perfect time & rhythm.
"Excellent Show"
It went kinda low at the end though imo
Wow! They look good in their uniforms. They’re exceptionally good in playing the drums.
I love military drumlines! Next favorite is drumlines with bagpipes! I so wish I would've had the opportunity to learn the drums when I was young.
Never too late, I think.
Same. I used to dream of playing drums in marching band. I played trumpet instead. I don't regret that choice. Trumpet is one of my favorite instruments. But I will always have a soft spot for drums.
So get a snare then, you can have fun even with just basic riffs. Or personally I would like a set of Roland mini bongo drums
Me too! My mom was a music teacher for over 50 years, and I learned 7 different instruments. Drums were not allowed. 😒
It's never too late to learn, but where it'll be applicable is the real question.
I used to play the snare in our schools marching band and it's tiring AF
Edit: but it was fun, free food and tons of great friend
Thanks for sharing. The Navy Drummers deserve to have some fun and entertain our citizens.
Miss Andrea look up historically black college and college university bands (ruclips.net/video/YvePMVg6-pY/видео.html)
At least in America they are allowed to do something like that. Here in Germany, the Military Musicians rarely play in the Public nowadays and quite a lot of Old Songs, they arent allowed to play anymore.

They absolutely do! They were excellent! 😁
Do they perform around Annapolis? It would be fun to see them in the Annapolis Mall.

@@DrummerJacob yup
In reality, the drum set is all the parts of a drum line set up for one player. Marching percussion is roughly 600 years older than the drum kit.
@@DrummerJacob Loved the comment.

Just wow
Not too many women drummers on most families let alone multiples
That's awesome. I was the first female section leader on my school' Drumline, and we were awesome - won High Drums 5/6 competitions 😌 we marched 5 snares 5 cymbals 4 tenors and SIX bases 🤯
Don’t mean to exaggerate but they took my breath away. This was amazing.
You got that right! I feel the same way!
Not an exaggeration at all. Drumlines are the favorite in band competitions.
Wow, amazing, eight notes
@@fanfoire sloppy eight notes and fluctuating tempo but hey they still vibing
Not an exaggeration!
They are amazing.
We need more of this from our military. Peace and unity through music!
The military already does play music in parades, for entertainment, 4th of July. There’s even videos of military marching bands and drum lines on RUclips.
Nah, this war music
Yeah that's what the military is for...
No we need something to prevent Russia from starting world war 3.
Smoothest escalator dismount I've seen in ages, never mind while drumming!
@Leigh Hartman And mine at 38
If I was having a bad, this here will certainly pick up my spirit. This is so cool, they are getting down !!!
yes spirit lifter. soooooo cool
I think you a word
Sometimes I have a bad too
@@orik737 Yeah he definitely a word
This is the US NAVAL ACADEMY DRUM LINE ( college students) which is completely separate from the US Navy Drum Line ( Active Duty Military)
Okay I admit I clapped after it ended. Thank you to all our military for you service and entertainment.

Next school year, I'm starting high school and I'm going to be a snare in marching band! I hope to get as good as this!
Well I hope we see a vid sometime in the future...
You will make friends for life, and have an amazing time. Marching band is more than meets the eye. All the best to you!
As a front ensemble member (marimba player), you won’t regret joining band! Keep at it! It’s super fun, especially being in percussion.

Military branches and their drumlines are absolutely amazing. Like they have some really good drummers
I love military drumming, they always look so amazing
My high school band played this cadence back in the late 80s and early 90s. It was my favorite! I've been looking for it for years!!
This is truly awesome! Even though I have extreme sensitivity to sound, if I was there, I’d probably follow them, and dance along. I’d just have to deal with the panic attack later. I believe that the rhythm of the drums, makes the world a better place! More drum lines, please!

It also serves to commorate.
My Daddy was career Navy! He’s gone now, but he’d love this I know!
GO NAVY! I love what you do for the U.S. protecting us all. God bless all of you,
Had to call my husband in...we dated while he was at USNA and was a proud NAVY wife. But oh were the Army/Navy games fun (in Philadelphia in those days LONG AGO). You brought a big smile to his face and mine!

Thank you both for your service. Civilians have no clue about the service our soldiers' families do. Serving in the military is truly a family affair.
Buddy on the far right at 1:25 is absolutely giving it. Those things are HEAVY and he's gyrating around with it like he's Sergio Flores
God Bless Them. My Husband served in the Navy. God Rest his sold.
We need them every Monday to get us started and every Friday to keep us even happier when leaving..God Bless the Navy
They sound really good
And Have a Good Day Everybody ✨
This was AWESOME, and even a bit of a hoot at times! Thanks so much for posting this video! 👍
they are so talented to be able to play the drums and go down and escalator. I bet the passengers really enjoyed it
My dad, Lieutenant Commander John H. Farquhar and Director of the Navy Band, would be highly amused by this if he were still alive. 😄
Navy grandpa, Navy dad, Navy daughter, army grandson. Proud doesn't cover it. 🥰🇺🇸
Hahaha that’s great! Love to see them having a good time!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I love Discipline
Thats why i Love the every branch of military
Those people are just different,
Their thinking process is different.
Beautiful people

They were on an escalator, but okay
Gonna be pretty hard to get in step exciting an escalator. I wouldn't want to try

Yall have come a long way with your rhythm section.

This was their best groove!
In Navy Bootcamp in 1969 marching behind the band was a real treat.
I miss my time in the Navy..didn't know it at the time but it was the best years of my life..
Thank you for your service
I guess I watched this backwards. I saw the Army - Navy drumline face-off last night. Good stuff.
Out standing job ladie and gentlemen using an old school beat and working the crowd.
And this people is why you can't let the sailors get bored. Because stuff like this happens. It can be really funny but try to get them to return to work, and only tears will follow.🤣🤣
Band kid here. What amazes me is that no one is walking in cadence and yet they’re still playing on beat
Ladies and gentlemen, the U.S. Naval Academy, ROCKIN IT!
As a USNA graduate myself (Class of '99!), this brings back some good memories. Thanks for the post!
Thank you for your service
When the old Man of the boat is riding that ass this is what his ship sounds like when they are at work high alert Battle stations . Just beating it out all in time and working as one. Got to love that drilling and teamwork
And the beat goes on .🤩
Well done. 👍
Beautiful beautiful beautiful!!!! I loved this !!! Every bit of it!!! Amazing!!
For all U.S. military watching this vid and/or reading the comments, we thank you for your service. :)
Best rendition of Darude - Sanstorm I have ever heard
I love a good drum line! Go NAVY!
God Bless our men and woman in Service!
Rock On!

Officers.
Can’t expect so much.
Thank you for your service
Here comes the boom of music with all of the US military branches!
I'm glad someone filmed this , it's so outta the ordinary and 😎 cool
Be awesome if the space force had musicians that just played like Star Wars and Star Trek 😂
Very cool and inspiring. Go young men and women of the Navy!
For some weird reason, I just had this image in my head, of a technical death metal drummer just doing literally everything they're playing all atonce, all on his own :D Snare, one hand. Cymbals, one hand. Bass drums both feets and lets go.
0:48 those army guys are like "lol, y'all suck." in the nicest way possible. Y'know, in that good spirited Army-Navy rivalry sense.
Beautiful. Proud of our military 🪖 men and women.
thanks so much for your unbelievable sacrifices!
God Speed!
My high school drumline may be good, but it will never beat that of the Navy.
This looks like the hype i need in he morning instead of that morning coffee
There’s no military starchiness there, them people are having fun. Brilliant 👏👏👍
What I find most impressive is they play that well yet continue on the tradition of USNA being unable to March in step. 😂
From one percussionist to you guys thank you all for your service and my freedom!!! 🇺🇸👏🏻👍🏻
This drumline switches between the cleanest most unison few seconds, and the most flubby, out of sync few seconds, with no in between.
right like i’m actually surprised by how bad some of their tempos are considering their stature
I like when a drum line is allowed to look like they're having fun. Back when I was in drum line, we were told to show no emotion at all.
Very nice drum cadence. I’m a Navy vet and a musician. But for a very nice group of folks with so much rhythm, as a military ensemble you could march in step. Just adds to the military precision. Also, did we learn nothing from “Turn Back Time” when it comes to Squids looking cool when they dance in uniform? Other than that, very nicely done.
The navy takes drumming to new depths.
Those bass drums look like toys. 😂
Wow! I did not know the Navy got down like this! Lol I’m blown away, I like listening to drum lines, nice vid!
This video put a smile in my face
So, not to disrespect the Navy or any US branch. But they are stepping out of time, granted off of an escalator, and getting back into formation. Just my highschool drumline kickin in ya know. Still love this by all means so cool!
Your video will make a fine addition to my "RUclips algorithm strikes again" collection
Those are the cadets from Annapolis. One of many bands in the Navy.
"Navy Drummer on an escalator"
"Its going downstairs so see you later"
This is frigging dope, drum lines are awesomely
Coming from a family who’s dad was in the navy and a percussionist, I’m in love with this video
Thank your dad for his service
They serve our country, and look cool doing it!
Imagine them drumming while riding on a train filled with all the sleepy people on their way to office XD
This was way better than the Navy Intelligence takes the stairs. Watching all those people fall down the stairs was gut wrenching!
when school hours are empty and teachers are in a meeting.
Me and The Boys:
They have cool hats!
Damn!!! I miss drumline so effing much!!!
I love a drumline, and my personal favorite is the Navy. Go Navy!
I cant count the number of times I came to this video
I could literally fall asleep to drum cadenced
Love ❤️ the military’s men and who served Great United State of American 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Music is our magic.
Make magic, not war.
They're literally playing "Walk this Way" on the quads.
Now this is what I call an escalator beat.
now I want the JMSDF band to just *play a fucking Space Battleship Yamato theme song* whilst *going down an escalator*
My college drum tech would kill me if I lowered my arm while walking with the bass drum
