I just played the drum kit for about half an hour blindfolded and let me tell you I played so much better than normal than when I'm not worrying about what I'm seeing and just feeling the music
Indeed, my drum teacher told me this exact words. I would be too focus on hitting the correct notes so he told me just to close my eyes and let the beat guide me
@Shak Bruh Isnt difficult in reality. Its pretty simple to learn and simple to play if you learn it the right way. Also its an overplayed cadence that any sane person in drumline hates.
It is funny, to other people that don't play the tenors think it's incredible to play blind folded/ with eyes closed, but once you play enough, you know where the drum is and don't need to constantly look down to know what you are playing. So in reality, you almost are always playing blind folded.
I swear every marching drumline has played Jig 2, or has their own version. Like our school did jig 2 but with 2 solos. A tenor solo, and the bass drums also did one.
All these kids are insanely talented and I mean this in the best way possible, I could do none of this blindfolded or not, but did anyone else think that it may honestly be easier blindfolded after awhile? 🤔 🤣
Tell me how I knew it was going to be Jig 2 before I even clicked on the video? Oh wait...it's a popular video with tenors and on a news youtube channel
i mean if go up to any Musician and tell them to play there Instrument blindfolded then they can do it no problem u don’t need to see to play it’s all about the feeling so There over exaggerating
With a 4 piece drum set this wouldn’t make things more difficult at all. Piano players do more without looking at the notes even with their eyes open. You only need eyes for very large drum sets with multiple positions.
All of these videos on RUclips don't realize that playing blindfolded is not that hard. Already you're looking at the crowd or at your music if you're sight reading it, or at a conductor. It's pretty difficult on mallet instruments but on tenors, not that hard
I believe Yamaha used Randall May carriers first, then Mapex, system blue and Ludwig all followed. I think Tama and Pearl are the only ones that make their own harnesses for their drums.
Every musician can play blind folded, even with drums. Its why we can play as good as we can. You feel it you dont see it. Just like guitarist can play without looking and pianist play while looking at sheet music. Dont mean to be negative but its not impressive cause hes not looking. I would expect that
Not to discredit them in any way but playing drums blindfolded isn’t that hard. As long as you know your playing zones you’ll be fine. Plus since you’re supposed to look at the crowd most of the time while marching, learning to play your parts without looking at the drums can be really good for you and the band. But I have to say, that Jig 2 was really good. Props to them
Seriously this isn't impressive, guitar players play blindfolded all the time. When you learn an instrument an know where the drums, strings and ect are it. Then it's real easy

Samuel Boles same ngl it does feel better doing it by feel
I close my eyes when I am consentrate

playing blindfolded is much easier if you have muscle memory, i dont think people realise how easy it is
The discipline tho
Fr most people once they know the music don’t even have to look at their drums
Get them to March blindfolded....then it's worth a video.... I hate click bate crap
It's all about muscle memory.
Indeed, my drum teacher told me this exact words. I would be too focus on hitting the correct notes so he told me just to close my eyes and let the beat guide me
If anyone is wondering, this cadence is called “jig 2”
Aka the worst cadence of all time
@@johngarcia8535 nah it’s one of best
@@miner_splash995 you prob suck at quads then. Because only beginners learn to play this dumbshit.

Righttt like it’s not different 😂😂😂
or some comparing these kids to DCI championship level drumlines like blue devils or vanguard
ya like you're supposed to march looking straight forward so like...theres not MUCH of a difference
i cant stop playing this video its soooo amazing
Electroguin no not really😂
They killed it that was amazing i can't stop watching this amazing drums playing i will watch it all over again u go boys show your stuff
This is how you learn to know your drums. Exercise, practicing,
The band:😎
The team:🤓
A friend of mine did the same solo upside down this year, it was epic. Next year I'm gonna try to do it both blindfolded and upside down.
under water while walking backwards....
Bro look at how fast they are
I've had to play upside down on the snare and tenor, it's fun, but it makes your head hurt
This is the kind of thing I wish I could do probs to these guys for their dedication. Yall are crazy good

I don't play tenors, but at my school they never look at their drums anyways, they look up.
Holy f that was fast! Amazing performance 👏👏👏
why is nobody talking abt how fine the first blindfolded guy is tf
The last part where they all play was satisfying.
Muscle memory when you Play a instrument Muscle memory is a skill you are getting

I CAN'T EVEN ESCAPE JIG 2 ON RUclips
I'm going to join band and get drums
As a blind person I find this to be amusing as its really no big deal.
Middle man shows no reaction
That’s me and I’m to focused

What're the drums gonna do while he's not looking? Run away?
Snares need to work on playing together
Honestly thought. This was worse than my 8th grade ensemble.
Agreed
Every school has a kid like the one in the middle. Short, usually plays some sort of instrument and doesn't care much about grades.
we finally played jig 2 this year (without director permission haha) and I think I’m gonna get the gang to do this next year!!
i mean if go up to any Musician and tell them to play there Instrument blindfolded then they can do it no problem u don’t need to see to play it’s all about the feeling so There over exaggerating
Non musician's don't know that so its jsut free browny points
Exactly the blindfolding is not impressive and their playing overall is pretty sloppy
This looks harder than it really is. but still a great job
Im a drummer to and i play this alot when i get that part but snares are rushing
Texas high schools don’t mess around when it comes to football and marching bands
Me and the boys getting ready for battle
Impressive
Brilliant
Pretty good. Idk why they're playing so up tempo
Very clean drumline
LeGiT_PePiNo not really💀
Cameron C. He’s joking..... I think.
They have 2 tempos lmao
@@yolohippo seems this drumline doesn’t put all their best players on snare.
Snares beg to differ lol
Wow
Damb that is so crazy good
Jig 2 be insane
no spocks?
Thats the school i go to

This is like saying playing Xbox or PlayStation without looking at the controller is hard. 💀
What is the song?
Drum
🔥🔥
Have no idea Yamaha makes drums
These zones are killing me😭
Eso es difícil?
where the hell are the spock drums
Respect :O wtf so crazy

It's not hard. I tried it on Real Drum (the app, because I'm getting a drum set soon hopefully) and its really easy.
We had a drummer in my marching band who did this for every game.

Is it just me or is it the same beat for most bands?
Playing blindfolded is actually easier
Dame!
Do you see that kid with the zebra blindfold and blonde hair that's Aden Armstrong the best drummer in the world there🎉🎉
Badass!
Forgot you needed eyes to play... What's next, with his shoes untied?
Snares aren't the best theyre splitting everything on accident
😢😊
Drum : yamaha
Carrier : mapex
WTH
I believe Yamaha used Randall May carriers first, then Mapex, system blue and Ludwig all followed. I think Tama and Pearl are the only ones that make their own harnesses for their drums.

Nah look at the press box
Everything is bigger in Texas go big or go 🏠
I'n stell
Easy
Total nerd flex
Lol
This is the easiest thing they could have done 🤣
Im out here tryna appreciate some beats but them fools is screamin louder eveytime a mans hits a solo wtf
All drummers can do that. 🙄 Not post to look down anyways. But good job.
That's like saying student played guitar blind folded....or typed blindfolded...
They’re bastardizing the art of drums. Better use the full set or nothing
dirty
Seriously this isn't impressive, guitar players play blindfolded all the time. When you learn an instrument an know where the drums, strings and ect are it. Then it's real easy
That's Fucking sad 👎👎👎🙄🙄
Jig2 is not cool anymore
Overates
That isn’t even hard. The drums don’t move.
Yeah not impressive when you are just playing random crap
I hate this cadence. It’s basic and generic as all hell.
If you can't play with a blind fold on your really not a good musician. Not really impressed here.
So fucking cool.
Is it really that hard?
No
