To the question of "How?" Practice. Insane, ridiculous, unbelievable amounts of practice. The opening snare soloist's name is Nick and I marched with him in 1991 and if you ever marched Drum Corps you know that drummers, especially snare drummers NEVER STOP. They drum everywhere, on everything, ALL THE TIME. After shows we would be waiting to load trucks and the snares would still be dueling in the lot. Freakish, Non-stop OCD practice. That is HOW"
@MelecityJones Well, people say if I were to play an instrument, it would be the drums. I appreciate this. I guess it makes sense. But I just love the whole show. I love brass instruments almost as much as my brother.
@MelecityJones No I disagree with every instrument there has to be a groove. I play percussion and trumpet and there has to be a groove even a rhythm. Without the two you cant really have music. You dance when you play right, well thats the groove from playing. So yes groove is in every instrument especially in snare and drums themselves. They are the most important for the responsible groove.
@trevorninja100 yeah that's what i meant... i didn't say you said they were 'horrable' i hust said that it is a show and that's what the show is about; being showoffs. otherwise they would just be a bunch of percussionists playing relatively simple rhythms on a stage.
@francobini I'm not saying they are horrable I saying that they are a bt showoff ish like the guy playing on his nose, I wouldn't change it or take it out of the show but I just naturely get the feeling that they are show offs like the blind folds
He just tries to impress the crowd with simple stick tricks and gimics. Don't get me wrong there is some complicated flam stuff in the beginning but I can do a Juggle Roll too. Most this stuff isn't that impressive it just looks cool which is why the crowd likes it. Its not clean.
Lancelot They’re some of the best instrumentalists in the country, probably the world. Would you expect them to be anything less than amazing? That’s why people pay to see them.
![Best Drummer Ever [HD]](/img/1.gif)
Time for another episode of “its 2:30 in the morning and I remembered something cool we watched in highschool”
same
This and Officer Krupke were the only reason I bought the Blast VHS tape way back in the 90's. and still, man, no regrets...
Officer Krupke!!!
the whole show is utterly amazing and it's been several years that it took place and I saw the integral over the TV channel Paris Première.
I remember going to a performance ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ so amazing!!!! Loved it and still do! So many great sounds and memories

That is HOW"
Never understood why they didn’t include this sequence on the official CD album!!
Nick Angeles and Jeff Queen... The GOATS.
コンサート見に行った時はマジでトリハダ立ちまくりだった
Having played on the low brass line (aka the percussion's sound break) I know most of what he's doing, and it's amazing!
This is the production that made me fall in love with marching percussion.
Nick DeAngelis looks like Bill Ponderosa now, and Jeff Queen always reminded me of Cyclops lol Can probably still shred, though.
Do not accidentally put the volume at 100% while wearing earbuds 0_o
WHAT?!? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
O jeez. Rip ur ears
Too late. 3 years too late
It's like Top Secret but clean.
There is a radio station sending around a video of the korean Drumcats. I've been posting Blast! To counteract them.
We had a Drum Instructor when I was in Marching Band in High School Join the Show & we got to see him Live & It was Freakin’ PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!
un spectacle de folie que j'ai pu voir en intégralité il y a quelques années sur la chaine de Tv Paris Premiere.... MAGNIFIQUE !! EPOUSTOUFLANT !!!!
Been watching this since my middle school years back in like 05
I realize that this is "just" a broadway show, but to not be standing on your feet and cheering your ass off after this is simply disgraceful.
This is the most AMAZING performance of ANYTHING I've ever witnessed!
I wonder how many cymbals they inverted during a show.
Excelente!! llevo años siguiendoos... y no me canso de ver el video!
The first video I ever saw on RUclips.
EXCELLENT stick work.. FAST and crisp!
2nd soloist is Jeff queen playing his i and e solo from idk the year but he had two drums
Tribute was his I&E solo in 1995-ish
YIKES! my heartrate has just increased 25%! !!! This was awesome!
They are in sync
Seen them live! Love it!
I saw this entire show in '04 at Palace Theater in Cleveland. Looking back it was raw as fuck.
I saw this at Indiana University. There music department started this program.
Awesome!!! :D
This is really good ☺️👌🏻
i agree with you :D i used to play in a marching band, i miss to much my snare drum, and i love this kind of music :D
Future orchestra concerts be like...
the drum must have been like HOLY BOB DOLE I JUST GOT PLAYYED
Soooooooooooo awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always wondered how drummer boys fought during those wars...
I just watched this in class today lol
@MelecityJones Well, people say if I were to play an instrument, it would be the drums. I appreciate this. I guess it makes sense. But I just love the whole show. I love brass instruments almost as much as my brother.
Drums is more than one instrument lol, so being a percussionist, you could play a great ordeal of instruments
Personally...I’ll always be one of the Guard girls! But my favorite was rehearsing with just percussion and pit and coming up with drills
bro this SLAPPIN
this guy has mad skills
Now THAT'S what I call Assault and Battery!
Hoy craap awesomnesss!!!
Super cool we should do this!
crazy chopsss
PARABÉNS...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Those flams!!
Were they rushing or were they dragging?
PERCUSION FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i saw them like 2 days ago and it was great!
No you saw them 7 years ago
This guy is good
Is this WGI on Broadway? This is genius.
Even if you have no musical talent at all, you can tell he's amazing.
purdy dam good
6:54 on scared me so much, it sounded like a horror movie score...
素晴らしい。又日本に来て下さいね。
ARIGATO
mind....blown :O
even better if the quint players could do something like the snare. I played quints in band and those were fun to play with.
Good god.... HOW?!
Very "Bridgemen-esque"
my question is how do they not get carpel tunnel?
TØPtrash Joshlertrash proper technique
or a pulled hamstring!
I always think the guy playing quints at 7:20 looks like a young Drew Carey.
Would love to hear this till I couldn't breathe :D
do they put this out there so they can say "hey look im better than you" but i have a buddy who can do this
4:31 I cried
SAAAAAME
Same
omg... 3:33 is.... ... WOW! :D
2:00
*sits in dismay*
Well shit.

4:00 The third guy on the left drops his stick.
Dang, almost makes be with I were a drummer instead of a trumpet player …almost ;-)
This is what goes on my ADHD brain 24/7
Ah, 240p. We meet again.
If you found this video through the DeLay Harvester Band's Percussion playlist, vote this up and check out my channel!!
@trevorninja100 yes they're show offs... but that's why it's called a show...
notice all instruments are and will always be YAMAHA (SPONSOR)
mega vet
6:37 NOW KISSSSS!!!
0.0 enough said
What do you mean by that?
1 person claims he/she is not impressed
because if you can read music u r a percussionist
Why will a player of BLAST be so good?
hahahaha
音の粒そろいすぎじゃない？www
@francobini I'm not saying they are horrable I saying that they are a bt showoff ish like the guy playing on his nose, I wouldn't change it or take it out of the show but I just naturely get the feeling that they are show offs like the blind folds
jeff queen and nicks markais
Yamaha. Ha.
This is NOT Blast!
I dont understand this

I am not worthy to watch this.
No offence to anyone but it seems that most people who call themselves drummers can't even read music
@edaerer16 you obviously have no taste for percussion in any form or fashion.
Oh my god that quad solo at 7 minutes sucked
FUCK YOU
when ever I watch this only one thing comes to my mind..........yea it's cool and all but they are a bunch of show offs

And I just saw that your comment is from 6 years ago haha. But still 🤷♀️ lol
