The Sehome High School Drum Line faces up against Bellingham High school, Ferndale High School and Blaine High School in the Biggest 4 way Drum Battle we have ever seen!
I've read the comments about the dirtiness or sloppiness of the drum lines but being from Mobile and going to New Orleans a lot and all the parades, etc. I have to say I relish the joy these kids are having in this. It may have been a "competition" of sorts but what I see is a joyful sense of play and not taking the competition part of it seriously but more of a tongue in cheek kind of comp and more of a sense of enjoying each other. It's nice to see. I found it really lightening and joyful as I watched it before I read the comments. That's my take on it :)
Yeah! I personally really enjoyed the video! I’ve been watching a lot of their videos recently to try to pick up some new tricks and honestly they’re very entertaining!
Can you name something wrong with red or blue, I will admit, the black and green drumlines could use a fair amount of work, but give credit to the ones that deserve it
Lukes legos they aren’t playing anything hard. I wouldn’t be happy if these 2 of these groups were my bands drum line. The other 2 are just average. Most times they aren’t all together. Normally drum lines do more than just sit there and play. It’s supposed to be fun yeah but it’s also supposed to be showy. If you can watch these and tell me that the kids are together while playing or that they sound like each other (are matching the way that they play with their own drum line) out of these 4 the red and blue did the best but that doesn’t mean that they don’t have flaws
I would be happy with the 2 good drumlines as well,but we all have flaws, drumline or not, but that doesn't mean they are bad. Personally, I think the red/blue drumlines are cool, we all have our own opinion, but if you went to college drumline, you might think different (sorry for langth), and you might see them as worse. I am only freshman so I will probably see them as good
I cannot wait to get back into band next year. Starting my senior year getting back into band after being out since freshman year. I had to dropout because when we moved we had to pay almost $600 all together for me to be in band. That shit sucked. But we moved back here a few months back, and I talked to the band directors and they are letting me join. Especially since I’m a percussionist and they said they have lost a lot this year. God, I’m so excited.
You can have an opinion on this but for fucks sake this wasn’t a “planned” event, it was literally right before a parade, and I’m not in drum line but I’m in another band from the area and I think that there’s no reason to shit on them. Sure you might not think it’s the best but the title is literal clickbait, stop taking it so seriously
@@CBrown9758 When someone says that their drumming is dirty, it means that they are not in sync, like you can tell that there's more than one drummer playing without even looking. When someone says that their drumming is clean, it means that they're all in sync, sounding as though there's only one really loud drummer drumming, when it's actually multiple playing in complete unison.
To all those saying that the bands are horrible or "what's with no traditional grip," hear me out. I'm from the Blaine band and we have to write our own cadences during a limited time period and to master it, and other bands in my area sometimes do the same. It's hard to write our own cadences unlike a lot of bands who just find a piece and use it. Also a lot of bands don't always use traditional grip. In Blaine, we were told about it but we use the grip we use now. Also in the video, all of the band's cadences we're cut off while sehome's got their whole cadence in. Why couldn't the others play their whole cadence? We did the drum battle for fun really, so you don't have to say "These are the worst drum lines I've ever heard," Blaine starts practicing parade music roughly a month before so we don't have much time to practice. If we had more time then yes we would be better, wouldn't everyone tho, and the way we do stuff now works with us and is great. So stop ranking on the bands and drum lines in the video!
+Muffincat34560 Agreed! Btw sorry that the other drumlines were cut off, one of our drummers dad's filmed it and could get only what he could get so yeah.
No. I don't mind that they didn't use traditional grip. But notes were everywhere. In certain parts I can just tell no one was listening to each other as they played without caring of quality in their sound. I can go on but I'd rather not go on a full essay
YES, Evita, exactly! The joy in it was what came through! One day the teens will truly understand the importance of joy like this. It's easy to talk trash and feel regimented and competitive, but once life gets you and becomes stressful, times like these become rare and getting to have memories like this is amazing! These kids understood the reason for this, joy and play with others of their kind. And everyone joining in and dancing and reveling in it, just fantastic!
So dirty. They need to work on playing together and getting everything in sync. I know they are high school drumline a but eh.... When they played singles on the snare drum it sounded like a huge jumbled mess. Whoever thought this was the most epic drumline battle have got to be kidding... The only thing somewhat cool was uniforms and the fact that found some random street corner and had multiple drumlines face off.
Well hate to burst your bubble Mat but it seems to me that you’re not working long enough shifts if you have enough time to walk around and leave crap comments on drumline videos. I mean- so what if they messed up? They’re bound to mess up at some point but hey? So what. Yeah you say you played in high school aye? Well how do you know you were even that good? Did they put you on video? Did they call you the best drumline? I mean great if they did but guess what? Working at a drum camp doesn’t mean you’re a saint so instead try to tell them in a more constructive way what you think they could’ve done better but also tel them what you liked about it. Like huh, what a thought aye? Grow up and leave the high schoolers alone.
@@tpixel_3607 I wasnt bashing the drummers. I was telling the person who posted that it isn't the most epic. Talking about how I'm not working enough and all... At least I'm not the one who scrolled through all these comments just to comment this... Maybe you don't have enough if you have the time to scroll through all the comments. I'm not the one hiding behind a computer screen commenting on other people's comments... I've worked many drumline camps for multiple years and the drumline I was on played at the halftime of the San Antonio Spurs games... Also made a DCI group so how about you actually go get a job instead of just sitting around in your mom's basement scrolling on comments looking for someone to troll... Again, not bashing them... Telling what the issue is, how to fix it (practicing) and that the person who posted the video has the wrong title because it's not the most epic drum battle in history...
I normally don't comment on stuff like this but I see all the negative comments and it makes me sick, these kids are outside having a good time and I think it is awesome, how about the people with all the bad crap to say get off your ass and make a better video.
WOW, great idea! Love it! People are talking about they were dirty, but geesh the kids are fun! But, now imagine if Drum Corps or University drumlines did this!
They do do this. Constantly, it's literally part of the show. South Eastern state universities or historically black universities make their lines practice of for drum battles. You should watch those battles because it sounds better.
"Bang A Drum" I went to see the preacher to teach me how to pray He looked at me and smiled Then that preacher turned away He said if you want to tell him something You ain't gotta fold your hands Say it with your heart, your soul and believe it And I'd say amen Bang a drum for the sinners Bang a drum for the sins Bang a drum for the losers And those who win Bang a drum, bang it loudly Or as soft as you need Bang a drum for yourself son And a drum for me Ooh, let me hear you say yeah (yeah), hallelujah, amen I called upon my brother just the other day He said: John I'm gonna die if I don't start to live again I work each day and night like clockwork Just trying to make ends meet I could kick this bad world's ass If I could just get on my feet I'd bang a drum for the dying Bang a drum for the truth Bang a drum for the innocence lost in our youth Bang a drum, bang it loudly Or as soft as you need Bang a drum for you brother And a drum for me I don't know where all the rivers run I don't know how far, I don't know how come Well I'm gonna die believin' each step that I take Ain't worth the ground that I walk on If we don't walk it our way [Guitar solo] (ooh...) No I don't claim to be a wiseman, a poet or a saint I'm just another man who's searching for a better way But my heart beats loud as thunder For the things that I believe Sometimes I wanna run for cover Sometimes I want to scream Bang a drum for tomorrow Bang a drum for the past Bang a drum for the heroes that won't come back Bang a drum for the promise Bang a drum for the lies Bang a drum for the lovers and the tears they've cried Bang a drum, bang it loudly Or as soft as you need But as long as my heart keeps on bangin' I got a reason to believe (I got a reason to believe) (Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, hallelujah, amen) Let me hear you say yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) oh yeah Let me hear you say yeah (yeah) hallelujah, amen Come on now (yeah) yeah (yeah) oh yeah Let me hear you say yeah (yeah) hallelujah, amen All right girls (yeah) brother (yeah) yeah (yeah) oh yeah Let me hear you say yeah (yeah) hallelujah, amen Writer: JON BON JOVI
I hope you know a 90° angle is like this " L " not like this " __ " I'm guessing you meant 180° angle (I'm only saying this in case someone was misinformed about your comment)
If you think about it snare is like the trumpets of the group (always leading) and the bass is like the low brass (just keeps the beat going) and the quads is like the woodwinds/French horn (sometimes has leading parts but really just there to blend in and sound better)
this is a proven example of how you got high school drumlines with no instructors or someone to help them with and they gotta come up with stuff on they own....
That first drumline killed me. No traditional, what even are playing zones (tenors. You know who you are), basses don't know where the centers of their heads are, and all of the lines were really really dirty
@@anthonysmaniotto1495 it doesn't matter the order of the basses are in. If I set my rack toms up in a random order I can still play them in order but I just gotta move my hands around a bit more. It's not like the order of which they're in will differ how the song plays out.
The drumline is called a drumline for a reason. One person can't play everyone's instrument. You're only as good as your weakest link when it comes to drumline. It don't matter how good you are it's how you sound together
we never got into a drum battle unfortunately it must have been a new thing because I was at bellingham high when they just renovated it and was tasked with coming up with a cadence for the band to march to. was at squalicum high school the year before that basically when we just moved there from texas and I ended up running into another percussionist from texas where we did those hardcore DCI style military drills and he brought in a tape of his old marching band one day and put it in and it basically blew everyones brains out
As someone from Blaine who stumbled upon this, Blaine has students write cadences and the beginning one has been there for years. Just too lazy to change it. Our band director just gives it to them and says “have fun.” We don’t pay people money to write us cadences and make sure we’re perfect unlike some of these rotten ass people lmao
Wazy24 I feel ya man, we’ve had the same old cadence for years and only just started to attempt writing our own. There’s really no drive to make the drumline better from a teaching standpoint and most of us honestly don’t care as long as we have fun with it. The vast amount of negative comments on this video has the entire SHS drumline cracking up. All these kids from the south don’t realize that there’s a difference between committment, funding, and overall care up here for a lot of schools.
Grass Tastes Bad I know at least for Blaine, we focus more on the concert aspects of a band, more than marching. We start our marching practice a month or so before ski to sea
I Grew up in Victoria BC close to Blaine same with our High schools around Victoria the focus was more on concert and stage bands rather then Marching ,,, We do a parade once a year and just do a few practices for marching that is it
Tyler my high school used to write our own cadences as well, of our some cadences that are old AF. Though now I’m a tech for them I might very well bring back the all but forgotten tradition and more of our old cadences. The current department administration doesn’t always like that the old guys keep trying to bring it back but it’s the history that connected the generations.
Hey Tyler I’m in blaine now and was in this video also! I agree we spend most of the time on concert tunes and the few time we spend on marching isn’t great. Some schools also have Percussion teachers to help but we are all self taught so of course we arnt going to play perfectly. We just had one again this wear and it was intense
I don't think it's physically possibe for a bass drum to be upside down considering you can hit both sides of the drum. And if you're talking about the logo being upside down then that's subjective
First of all, one of those dumplings is my high schools and I’m trying out for it this year. Second, ours was the best and we don’t have a drum line teacher. Just previous drumline members. Go big blue baby👌🏻
We'll all I gotta say is that you guys are pretty good self taught and that says a lot. But your school should definitely hire a drum tech to clean things up because you guys are like decent and just now finding out you're all self taught makes sense but is surprising at the same time.
Simple virtually no one March is it in HS outside of parades and SSB but I do agree as a cymbal player. A few wrist brake visuals, unloads and reloads never hurt except to the guys try them without understanding how they my affect control.
Well, if you actually have to look down at your drum because apparently, you don't know where it is, then it's downhill after that. All might have been better received if the title hadn't promised so much. But the weather looked nice.
I agree the title of this video is a bit cocky and untrue. They definitely need work. That being said, these kids were outside having fun and making music. That’s cool to me.
OK home work assignment for all to see learn and study tonight. Got to Top Secret Drum Line Basil Switzerland. Watch any of their videos and understand what drumming is all about. Top Secret Drum Line Basil Switzerland. enough said.
I've read the comments about the dirtiness or sloppiness of the drum lines but being from Mobile and going to New Orleans a lot and all the parades, etc. I have to say I relish the joy these kids are having in this.

Yeah! I personally really enjoyed the video! I’ve been watching a lot of their videos recently to try to pick up some new tricks and honestly they’re very entertaining!
Most epic clickbait battle ive ever seen
My ears feel assaulted.
HOWEVER, it looks like they had a ton of fun, and that's what counts.
To be brutally honest, all of these drum lines need a lot of work.
Name 2 things wrong with the blue or red drumline
Lukes legos - obviously they need more work they’re kids
You’re literally the only one that didn’t think they we average or below average
Can you name something wrong with red or blue, I will admit, the black and green drumlines could use a fair amount of work, but give credit to the ones that deserve it

Personally, I think the red/blue drumlines are cool, we all have our own opinion, but if you went to college drumline, you might think different (sorry for langth), and you might see them as worse. I am only freshman so I will probably see them as good
I'm glad to see them all having fun. That said, I think I drum key and a metronome are badly needed.
I wonder what happens if we met up at Disney next year and we have a world wide drum battle
I cannot wait to get back into band next year. Starting my senior year getting back into band after being out since freshman year. I had to dropout because when we moved we had to pay almost $600 all together for me to be in band. That shit sucked. But we moved back here a few months back, and I talked to the band directors and they are letting me join. Especially since I’m a percussionist and they said they have lost a lot this year. God, I’m so excited.
The band at the end were amazing, especially the two drummers with the long hair! 👌🏽
Woah.... (Speechless)!!!

Goatorph what band?
epicmarek 224 Squalicum high school. We were at the parade too but we decided not too. Missed out on some publicity
Imagine they would have played this at medieval battles... Then there wouldn’t be enough time to fight, only time to jam
Good Job to all the Drummers; remember playing in High School Band is to FUN and to make Memories that will last FOREVER.
dirtiest drumlines ive ever seen
Staged tru
What do u mean when u say dirties? Are u speaking of the uniforms?
Daniel 😂😂😂
Cynthia Brown the way they play is dirty duh you should know

No..... please.... practice.....
If our marching band sounded anything like that we would kicked off
Same here. Except we would have to run 10 laps if the director was really gnarly
This is why high school lines need instructors. Guessing these are neighboring schools with directors who played sax and trumpet.
To all those saying that the bands are horrible or "what's with no traditional grip," hear me out.

Sehome Drumline
Thanks for agreeing. And I completely understand, i was just a little curious on why it happened 😃
+Muffincat34560 Lol
i get that u had limited practice time but still if u weren't ready u should not have tried quit making excuses bad is bad no matter what the reason
Muffincat34560 my band had a week to practice before a parade and even we sounded better than that
I think they are wonderful. Great job!!
No. I don't mind that they didn't use traditional grip. But notes were everywhere. In certain parts I can just tell no one was listening to each other as they played without caring of quality in their sound. I can go on but I'd rather not go on a full essay
Chocala Konno Thank U. Thats what im sayin
Once they lines in the blue and red cane in Im like oh maybe the other two were just a joke that’s how bad the other two were
no theyre all shit
Chocala Konno. . . wait, where they college or high school marching bands?
Okay, I just read the description. How in the world can they be so Out Of Tune while the same time be so out of beat as well
Best camera man ever
Incredible steady cam work!
The most epic drum battle requires the most epic drum lines... with that being said, good job guys!
FINALLY A REAL DRUMBAND/BATTLE!!!!! ALL OF THEN WERE GREAT N YOUNG PEOPLE SHOWING THEIR SKILLS!!!!!
Evita Estremera Lmao they're all trash go watch some drum Corp videos like blue devils or Cavaliers
Dustin Hovey ahhh come on, their just kids... So it was still entertaining...
YES, Evita, exactly! The joy in it was what came through! One day the teens will truly understand the importance of joy like this.

No traditional grip??
only int he old cadence which was our last cadence, for part of it.
Ikr like wtf
nicholas spicer Ikr im in the 8th grade drumline and we use traditional grip
nicholas spicer why does traditional grip matter either way it sounds the same
Wes Jerosky Traditional grip matters in percussion. Im only in 9th grade and we use it

john hugel lmao I can show you some good HS drumlines, go watch Hebron, Marcus, Byron Nelson, vandegrift, John Horn 2014, argyle, Ayala or chino hills
cool but watch this m8, best drumline video ever amazing

ALMOST? Cmon bruh

THE SOUND OF SOME QUAD AND SNARE DRUMS IS OUT OF TUNE
"Bang A Drum"
I went to see the preacher to teach me how to pray
He looked at me and smiled
Then that preacher turned away
He said if you want to tell him something
You ain't gotta fold your hands
Say it with your heart, your soul and believe it
And I'd say amen
Bang a drum for the sinners
Bang a drum for the sins
Bang a drum for the losers
And those who win
Bang a drum, bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
Bang a drum for yourself son
And a drum for me
Ooh, let me hear you say yeah (yeah), hallelujah, amen
I called upon my brother just the other day
He said: John I'm gonna die if I don't start to live again
I work each day and night like clockwork
Just trying to make ends meet
I could kick this bad world's ass
If I could just get on my feet
I'd bang a drum for the dying
Bang a drum for the truth
Bang a drum for the innocence lost in our youth
Bang a drum, bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
Bang a drum for you brother
And a drum for me
I don't know where all the rivers run
I don't know how far, I don't know how come
Well I'm gonna die believin' each step that I take
Ain't worth the ground that I walk on
If we don't walk it our way

No I don't claim to be a wiseman, a poet or a saint
I'm just another man who's searching for a better way
But my heart beats loud as thunder
For the things that I believe
Sometimes I wanna run for cover
Sometimes I want to scream
Bang a drum for tomorrow
Bang a drum for the past
Bang a drum for the heroes that won't come back
Bang a drum for the promise
Bang a drum for the lies
Bang a drum for the lovers and the tears they've cried
Bang a drum, bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
But as long as my heart keeps on bangin'
I got a reason to believe (I got a reason to believe)

So sad to see so many "ADULTS" criticizing all of these hard working kids that look like they are having a good time.
Well, they really aren’t good
Just just constructive criticism, tenors/ quints/toms should be mounted at a 90” angle to the body ( tip for the blue and yellow)
I hope you know a 90° angle is like this " L " not like this " __ "
I'm guessing you meant 180° angle
(I'm only saying this in case someone was misinformed about your comment)
What's the name of the rhythm, bro??
Btw, it sound soooo goodddd!!!
Verizon should use some of this footage for one of their future commercials.
Watch them comply
Just saw this. Wonderful! Wild to think that these teens are adults now, maybe graduates from college, married, etc.
If you think about it snare is like the trumpets of the group (always leading) and the bass is like the low brass (just keeps the beat going) and the quads is like the woodwinds/French horn (sometimes has leading parts but really just there to blend in and sound better)
I don't know where this took place, but it looked like a lot of friendly competition.... Awesome
this is a proven example of how you got high school drumlines with no instructors or someone to help them with and they gotta come up with stuff on they own....
I was about to have an anuerism about how the 2nd to last guy at 1:40 is holding his sticks like c'mon are we in middle school
I dont understand how people think this is good
Algum BR vendo esse vídeo e concorda comigo que a banda de preto e vermelho tocou um samba estilo carnaval na Sapucai kkkkkk
The first drum lines snares were a literal joke
This was so amazing to watch!
Eyy! Another band that wears Aussies. We wear aussies. AHEMM! Snares... the shoulder thing goes under your jacket! Not over!
Mike it really doesn’t mater if the harness is over or under the uniform except if you need to get equipment on and off fast.
They did it because it goes well with the uniform but u r correct. My band makes u wear it under not over
probobly the best moment of the whole parade
The best moment of the parade is when it ended.
At least 2 out of the 4 schools there are teaching the kids how to play marching snare correctly 😂
One of the lines I believe it's the blue line is self taught. Their technique is good they just need a metronome desperately
OK be kind in your comments! These kids are awesome and having a BLAST!!
The guys in the red uniforms actually had something challenging
Still dirty
Bruh the can't even stand with there drums flat
Bands with the cowboy hats always got me dead
Some have it some dont. They just having fun..BUT..........
I like it
NEEDS MORE COW BELL!!!!!
Change the title. I didn't see Nick Cannon.
stanfoo if you thought that was a serious comment, then you can do the same 😂
Wym drumline was a great movie
stanfoo bitch drum line is top 40 movies of all time
Dirty describes the whole drumline movie
iEmptyClipz yeah but it was dirty as shi
does anyone know the name of the cadence the blue band played?
nice drum the yellow black uniform😍😍
Worst drum battle I've ever seen
Giovanni brown thx bb 😘
Giovanni brown yes dude 😂😂😂😂
Same here; Mach grip snares and still not clean
Nothing wrong with match grip, but I will agree that this sounded like popcorn
@@EvanGorczyk Please don't insult the popcorn industry. To quote Monty Python, "Oh my BRAIN hurts!"

To hell with traditional grip,I liked this !And the yellow school rocked....
Are you being sarcastic or you really think they rocked it? Because they was whack
from 7:25 to 8:25 that was lit
That first drumline killed me. No traditional, what even are playing zones (tenors. You know who you are), basses don't know where the centers of their heads are, and all of the lines were really really dirty
+Lucas Walters I mean we ain't from the south so it doesn't matter there
+Sehome Drumline here*
The basses were out of order too. Why was 4 and 1 next to eachother?
@@anthonysmaniotto1495 it doesn't matter the order of the basses are in. If I set my rack toms up in a random order I can still play them in order but I just gotta move my hands around a bit more. It's not like the order of which they're in will differ how the song plays out.
The drumming is good enough that I will ignore title
that black and orange costume is that trio? its big! or flub drum?
The center snare of the blue drumline is good though
The drumline is called a drumline for a reason. One person can't play everyone's instrument. You're only as good as your weakest link when it comes to drumline. It don't matter how good you are it's how you sound together
Dylan Alvarez words of wisdom
The Red Bois have been best throughout these drum battle tbh. not to be mean or anything buth that group is the most enjoyable.
Holy dynamics
if u were there what would u do
me: pulls out Pokemon card "fight me bolich"
we never got into a drum battle unfortunately it must have been a new thing because I was at bellingham high when they just renovated it and was tasked with coming up with a cadence for the band to march to. was at squalicum high school the year before that basically when we just moved there from texas and I ended up running into another percussionist from texas where we did those hardcore DCI style military drills and he brought in a tape of his old marching band one day and put it in and it basically blew everyones brains out
As someone from Blaine who stumbled upon this, Blaine has students write cadences and the beginning one has been there for years. Just too lazy to change it. Our band director just gives it to them and says “have fun.”
We don’t pay people money to write us cadences and make sure we’re perfect unlike some of these rotten ass people lmao
Wazy24 I feel ya man, we’ve had the same old cadence for years and only just started to attempt writing our own. There’s really no drive to make the drumline better from a teaching standpoint and most of us honestly don’t care as long as we have fun with it.
The vast amount of negative comments on this video has the entire SHS drumline cracking up. All these kids from the south don’t realize that there’s a difference between committment, funding, and overall care up here for a lot of schools.
Grass Tastes Bad I know at least for Blaine, we focus more on the concert aspects of a band, more than marching. We start our marching practice a month or so before ski to sea
I Grew up in Victoria BC close to Blaine same with our High schools around Victoria the focus was more on concert and stage bands rather then Marching ,,, We do a parade once a year and just do a few practices for marching that is it
Tyler my high school used to write our own cadences as well, of our some cadences that are old AF. Though now I’m a tech for them I might very well bring back the all but forgotten tradition and more of our old cadences. The current department administration doesn’t always like that the old guys keep trying to bring it back but it’s the history that connected the generations.
Hey Tyler I’m in blaine now and was in this video also! I agree we spend most of the time on concert tunes and the few time we spend on marching isn’t great. Some schools also have Percussion teachers to help but we are all self taught so of course we arnt going to play perfectly. We just had one again this wear and it was intense
this beat down is called - DIRT!
4:21 dude rocking hahaha
Man you guys got straight roasted.
Brady McAtee thank goodness for ad revenue
the upside down bass
I don't think it's physically possibe for a bass drum to be upside down considering you can hit both sides of the drum. And if you're talking about the logo being upside down then that's subjective
The red and black band was the best only because they knew their grips and what they were doing
Definitely not the best. They were still messy. Also the very right snare had no idea what was going on he was hardly playing anything
Queria a esse pessoal visse as cadências do Brasil 😂
3:30 me on friday after the bell goes to say school is over
These kids are awesome.
practice pads exist for a reason
8:00....We all have that one friend...😂
They're all really good!
R clearly you are dumb 😂😂😂
First of all, one of those dumplings is my high schools and I’m trying out for it this year. Second, ours was the best and we don’t have a drum line teacher. Just previous drumline members. Go big blue baby👌🏻
We'll all I gotta say is that you guys are pretty good self taught and that says a lot. But your school should definitely hire a drum tech to clean things up because you guys are like decent and just now finding out you're all self taught makes sense but is surprising at the same time.
Excellent video. Great Drum Line!!
you're high
no way
+TheSymbolGenerator Thanks bro!
i want the black uniforms theyre so pretty
See that dude off to the left with 3-drum thing at 2:40? I've never seen that. What are those?
+Joseph Stalin tri-tom.
They are ancient
I didnt realize it was 1978 with the damn tri-toms
Cymbal players killed it
this looks so awesome, but why is it I always find that other cymbal players in other drumlines aren't super expressive. Be Funky!
NunchuKid so tru
For real
Cultural Differences ig
Simple virtually no one March is it in HS outside of parades and SSB but I do agree as a cymbal player. A few wrist brake visuals, unloads and reloads never hurt except to the guys try them without understanding how they my affect control.
It was dirty
Brandon Hagood I'm glad I'm not the only you thought that
the cringe just watching this
All but 2 were super nasty
All of em were nasty. You got ears right? Just because it sounds good doesn't mean it *sounds good* if you know what I'm saying.
The match grip is decorating
Well, if you actually have to look down at your drum because apparently, you don't know where it is, then it's downhill after that. All might have been better received if the title hadn't promised so much. But the weather looked nice.
I agree the title of this video is a bit cocky and untrue. They definitely need work. That being said, these kids were outside having fun and making music. That’s cool to me.
clickbait ✌
Yo I just noticed, why did the snares from sehome touch the snare head like if they were muffling it 🤣🤣🤣 it’s a snare bruhhhhhh🤣
At the beginning who else heard banana bus?
Green and gold snares sound like forks in a blender
So much for movement is unreal
Whoa whoa 4 wait is another team going to pop out behind the bushes???
That teqnique hurt my soul snares shoes in a dryer
OK home work assignment for all to see learn and study tonight. Got to Top Secret Drum Line Basil Switzerland. Watch any of their videos and understand what drumming is all about. Top Secret Drum Line Basil Switzerland. enough said.
