Caleb Byrd Metronomes is basically cheating in my book. I never use them and don't plan on starting. Playing on time should be an automatic doing. Using a machine to help you with that is useless. To me at least lol
Michael Solis if you plan on marching anywhere get used to hearimg cause you dont start off with playing in perfect time thats why mets are used not for cheating but hearing what playing in perfect time feels like then memorizimg ehat it feels like thats why they dont do lots with mets at finals
@@drummersnare6276 I mean you can see they're all pulsing with their right leg. Normally keeping time would suffice too. Really an aesthetic choice tbh.
@@Alex-mi9wq One of my old high school drumline instructors Pete Sapadin from the blue devils, really engrained in us to nod our heads to keep pulse. It does really help
Joey Staab was a snare tech for Clovis North High School, and his former students thought that by continuously yelling "JOoey StAAAb" after every exercise would make him break.
Every Dci line I see they some arm for their left. I know it's natural but my instructor wants me to use all wrists. How do keep my left arm from moving on diddles and accents.
shaquan talbert It really depends on the tempo you're going at. At higher tempos, you're going to want to use a bit of arm for your diddles and accents. But when you're at a moderate to low tempo, use your wrists instead of using unnecessary muscles.
It's important to make sure your strokes are coming primarily from your wrists. Thats not to say that there isn't arm involved though. Your arm should be able to move naturally. Using the weight of your wrist and the back of your hand is the best way to get a sense of power and sound quality in your playing. Hope this helps!
+shaquan talbert in order for your left stick to get better diddles and accents, especially at higher tempos, you kinda have to use some arm. your technique shouldn't be 100% wrist, nor 100% arm but a comfortable mix of the two; even in your right hand. it should feel comfortable and smooth. next time your at your drum, take your hand and hit the drum while making your arm look like a wet noodle.
The actual part there isn't hard to play if you have decent chops but, even though there was a teeeennnnyyy bit of dirt, the group as a whole sounded super clean and that is what amazed me.
I actually know what happened to these Pearl drums. Our school in South Carolina called Wren High school bought them for like 36,000 dollars. If you look up any of our competitions from 2018 you'll see them.
I was quint Captain for 2 yrs...great action and determination.. much class as a band ......sounds great ..I'm 40 yrs old now seems like yesterday I was playing my quint's...lol...
![[10 Levels of Drumming Progress]](/img/1.gif)
they look like they’re having fun
Is this sarcasm or your really think they're having fun
Akame Ga kill they're having fun, they just have to look professional.
Play a warm up 400 times. You don't do it for fun after a while.
Thats manners
Chris C ya but they arent dreading it, theyre ‘warming up’ thats litterally the whole point, they know its good for them and they enjoy it im sure
I don't understand how anyone can be that clean without a met
Caleb Byrd 300 billion hours of practice

Michael Solis how would it be cheating lol
Caleb Byrd are you like a beginner or something lol
so this is the thing that all the freshman at my school try to play.
This isn't hard, they should be able to play it
Just requires some chops if you wanna play it up to tempo.
they try...its easy im 14 and learn this at 13
^^^cool kid alert
Try to play? Ha.
RIP the Pearl drums.
porque?
@@hectorzelaya5443 ya no usan esa marca
oohh cual usan ahora?
@@hectorzelaya5443 usan system blue. Es una compania que les ayuda
Ikr now they got those trashy as system blue drums
Anyone notice the badass way they mark time with one foot?
Tristan Bach it's called pulsing a lot of bands are starting to do it
Tristan Bach I do it
It's just pulsing 1 and 3
I see you
everyone does it now
is that the same brandon from 4 years ago that played with BD when he was 12?
Yeah
Yep
Yeah
Yah
powuhh yes it is
And this is their warm up, neat
that bassline is one of the best ive ever heard.
i swear some of these dudes look like they're 14 and others look like they're 35
Beach Dreams bruh I know
It’s cuz they are. Brandon Olander was 15 here I think, he just aged out out at BD this year at 19? Not sure something like that
He marched academy in 13 and blue devils 14-16 and 18-19 so he’s marched since he was old enough
@@shariqarain you don't age out until 21-22 lol what are you talking about he was 16 or 17 here
@Awkward productivity not true. minimum age is 14
Most disciplined drum line I’ve seen. No rocking heads, all eyes forward, this is drum line!!
Well it is the blue devils
Actually rocking your head is called pulsing and is a good thing.

Love that keelan is there watching
MY BOY BRANDON OLANDER KILLING IT!!!
1:46 my dude bowing down to the greatest drumline ever
Joey Staab was a snare tech for Clovis North High School, and his former students thought that by continuously yelling "JOoey StAAAb" after every exercise would make him break.
Did they not like him?
We love Joey! He is so hilarious, that guy. We miss him dearly though... He said that he got a job opportunity elsewhere, and he moved on!
Aaron Reyes yeah he techs at Leigh highschool now
Thought they were saying Joey Styles, I'm a little sad now
I marched with Joey! I did BDB 2011 if my memory serves correct that’s when I met him. I was on the contra line
Blue Devils my favorite drum corp since 2014
When the quads and the bases synch up its magic
I figured out last night the importance of warm ups. I tried to play a book report thing and my forearms cramped up.
Is I'm the only one hearing that grove part in there? That shit rock
Keyvon Gardner I hear it! Sick!
Legit have no idea what u said or what that means but I totally agree!!
This the cleanest drumline that I ever heard in my life. Major props.
James, the second tenor from the left is our Drum tech at our high school! He is amazing!
Isabel Ivy not anymore bruh
@@alexa.3781 Why
JOEY STAAAAAAAB
i love how uniform the tenor stick heights are really just a perfect cheery on top

its called traditional grip, you need to learn match grip before it though, traditional is harder btw
i totally read this wrong lol, yeah wrist for diddles i guess, but if your making big accents you want to use a little forearm

I like the thousand yard stare as they concentrate. I wonder what an MRI would look like as they play.
The snare drummer that they zoomed into in the beggining looked depressed
Clovis was pretty hot.
Brandon Gedalje WHAT ITS ACTUALLY BRAND THE CENTER SNARE DO YOU HSVE AN INSTA YOUVE BEEN IN LIKE THE BEST YEARS OF BD
@@briancantero6123 lol
Kyle Cruz He wasn't depressed. He was just thinking about hitting the gym more often cause it's hard carrying all those gold medals year after year.
@@gunner-qf9eh that’s pretty good ngl lol
1:09 ... damn

:)
Badger Yo Homie x
Actually there was some haha, listen closer
If anyone is wondering, these drums are now owned by Wren high school in South Carolina
Nobody was wondering
Crazy considering that one of the snares looks like Ryan from Supermega, who's actually from SC.
I actually know what happened to these Pearl drums. Our school in South Carolina called Wren High school bought them for like 36,000 dollars. If you look up any of our competitions from 2018 you'll see them.
Inferno heck yeah, SC schools rule!
Ima 22 year old snare drum retired section leader. I came back to this video just to see this flawless technique.🔥🔥🔥
Why is it know cymbals or tenors but it is one of the best drum lines I ever heard. TRUST ME
There are Tenors, but no cymbals
I am talking about chest tenors or tenor drums not quints or quads
Most people refer to quints or quads as Tenor drums
R those pro 50s drumsticks
Elijah Bryant No they are Promark DC17 Scott Johnsons
Tenors cover up literally EVERYTHING
In case your wondering why they looks so mad it’s because they’re concentrating
I love these drums
I like the part where they played the drums
how are they so clean it's amazing
They aren't humans they are robots.
that's my band room
Them tenor are killing it
I went to this this and got to take a picture with Keelan and Chris Drummer. :3
I’ve had this in my recommended for years but I never click on it, well fuck.
I like their drums this year.
gotta love precision drumming. I posted this video to a friend's facebook page for his birthday...
IT FINALLY HIT 1MIL
I can just imagine how often they change drumheads
The consistency
Brand Olander was apart of the highest scoring DCI Show in history? Makes sense.
1:05 "while everybody's like NOOOOOOO..."
Death Grips?
Keelan Tobia in the front of the audience!
After practicing the flams, I can do this warm up.
Joey style???
Joey Staaaaaaab.
+BornVillain who is that?
+Will Cochran The guy it zooms in on at 1:16.
the triplet single stroke count off was my fave part
They're bad boys.......perfect rhythm !
sooo, what up with Joey style??
Its Joey Staab he was on the snareline that year
Josh Tolentino pretty sure it's joey style
I'm assuming the black tape is for enhanced visuals? Definitely works against the white base heads.
Base line are the craziest counters💪🏽
those goddamn bass drums tho
I would sure love the sheet music to this
www.snarescience.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=18403
Does anyone have the sheet music? The only thing I can't make out is the flam part, everything else is okay to remember and see what they're doing.
Two Swiss Triplets into a Flam Tap. Similar to a lick they have in BD Flams.
Just watch and learn.... not to hard to learn...
+Erich14 he's not wrong
If the camera person knew the material better we might have gotten a wide shot of the cool bass section parts.
Rip to Pearls.. ): they sound so good!
I love blue devils there drumline is awesome I love the air carrier harnest they have
Their*
Thare*
Lets all take a minute to appreciate thoses air frames they have.
Here before this gets recommend it to everybody
I was literally looking at a Jeff Bezos video, I don’t understand how I got here.
Tuning on the bass drums........WOW!!! That low D
anybody else notice how Keelan cut his eyes at the guy that walked up behind him...lol 0:33
So CLEAN
I played this so many time in the pit room in high school, fuck
Starting the sacrificial ceremony I see.
(Say in a Mr. Burns voice) good, Good
that 16 year old dude is in this. thats awesome
Is this the Henry Clay High School in Lexington Kentucky?
They're facility at HCHS is not that nice, plus this is in California. Btw I live near lex so I know

When did Brandon Oleander age out of BDs?
I’m trynna what kinda snare sticks they got
The name is In the title.
I remember it being called "Donald Sterling" but Sterling sounds good too
0:31 keelan tobia
Corp style drumlines can strike something up easily
its hilarious at 2x speed
Hogarth McMallian LoL it is. 3000 beats a minute.
1:20- 1:32 sounds like a helicopter
1:59 what's this stroke called?
Pretty sure its a single stroke 5
Mr Montage it’s a four stroke ruff..
ABSOLUTELY CARS it’s 5. O can confirm from a transcription by KEELAN TOBIA himself, and by slowing down the video to where it’s more audible.
@@ShadfishX it also is sometimes called a sentry note
Very clean
Traditional grip came back!
A wee bit more practice and maybe they could visit Scotland lol great stuff guys cheers
0:38 what call of this technique
Pretty sure its moeller
IT IS 8 ON A HAND
How do you get rid of the scratch marks on those harnesses
My god
So good
Oh my god that is KEELAN!!!
Who’s here from Terry Davis?
Was looking through the divine right playlist. Hurts bad man.
This goes hard as fuck and I'm not sure why.

We use the dc-17s! B corps uses the dc50s. Love both of them. :)

They look like they’re tryna summon a cult or something lmao
Do the tenor players still use Sean Vegas?
I like the pearls
