Maybe if they went away with SB snare heads they would. They are too low and dry to be anything close to the Pearls. You can only crank that head so much.
Questions: To BD staff: your thoughts on BD’s book this year with Scojo and Rudy going for a Sanford? Second can they get the book: PISS CLEAN before Finals? Thanks!
Saying that when this is literally a reflection of mid-2000s and early 2010s style book is funny. But also, there were plenty of parts that literally had musicality also literally their book last year was pure musicality as well. I wouldn't stress about BD for one time having moments in the book where they are playing fast and have notes. Literally the Cadets and Phantom back in the day rammed to another level before modern DCI.
@@BerserkRain Music does not need percussion to be busy like this. I swear if GenZ had to play the National Anthem, they'd ram beats all throughout it. Sometimes less is more. But not for these kids. That's why your shows are incredibly boring and stupid. No large and evolving marching forms. Park and blow. Battery just ramming.
this is just garbage, even for early season. “you couldn’t play those beats if you tried”, yeah yeah I don’t care. cope with someone having a different opinion. all bd ever does is field beats that lack musicality and cleanliness. they may be super technical, but it’s awful for the vast majority of the season. it’s honestly pitiful.
i love bringing other people down over the internet! maybe instead of sitting alone in your basement being a keyboard warrior and dogging on people for not being perfect 100% of the time, you could instead applaud these people for the work they’ve put in! just a thought!
@@dylanwedderespectfully, no! these are the blue devils we’re talking about! this is the problem with society nowadays, people like you want participation trophies and handouts. “Just applaud them” - absolutely not. Not when the bar has been consistently raised over the years by not only them, but other corps as well. You can’t just field garbage and expect me or others to automatically give a round of applause for doing something difficult, but doing it really bad at the same time. That’s not drum corps. The standard is the standard, and I will not disrespect the activity by lowering my standards.
These drums are finally sounding similar to those beautiful 2015 Pearls. Keep it up Devs!
@@DatGuyWithNoName on god
You actually like this tuning?
🧢
Now go listen to SCV😊

2:36 even though his stick got stuck he still came back in those rolls cleannn
This quad line is nutty💀
Best sounding ludwig snares I’ve seen
What?
It’s a little close up to really tell but yeah they’re definitely better.
The basses sound incredible
You can see sound my dude?!? Loll jk but really the bd drum sound IMHO has come a long way since the switch to Ludwig
@@markoates9057 I liked them better last year and I saw them up close in person
I really like this book, I hope it doesn’t get watered down and the staff actually give the performers a chance to achieve it
my king is back 👑, and so are those high singing tenors :)
Out of tune tenors.
2:52 2022 opener reference 😮
*2015 feature reference 😉
Go Audrey! Rooting for you!
Giving me mid-2000’s and mid-2010’s vibes with the aggression, demand, verticality, and tempos in the writing this year. Me gusta
Except the stupid swiping monkey strokes thing. That wasn’t so vertical.
7:33 casual quad & snare hand to hand lmfao
Do you want to collab
Damn that battery feature is hard 6:45
2:13 that’s a demanding tenor break fasho
so good!
I WAS THERE!!!
My dream is to the on thier tenor line. Im trying out after I graduate this year.
Ay man I believe in you
Come back to update
For the algorithm. ✊
more aggressive than the last two years im hyped for august fr
What happen to Laurent Chang?
He aged out in 2023 unfortunately🥲
Good Drum Music!
it's hard, but they're playing a really significant rhythm born melody. hmm, is it another gold for the devils?
Scoops are back not sure what they ever went away they direct the sound upwards. Scojo still at the top of his game
They direct sound forward, not upward. They’re angled roughly 45deg. Think of what angle a mirror 45deg would do to a light source directed downward.

I could see these guys doing a show with Slipknot 🥁💵
go blue devil
them ludwigs are singing
Granted the book is a lot more technical than Boston's, I gotta say this sounds a WHOLE lot muddier than Boston right now.
They don't prioritize cleanliness early season, just wait and you can make a fair comparison later
BD 1995 8:26
Classic BD writing!!!!!!!
And Classic BD dirt...Lol😊
@user-of1hd2dy1t Early in the season. Who you got taking drums?
1st note.....
👍♥️💥🌈🌹✨❤️
4:35 is dirty af.
They’re winning?
8:26
I'm in bd battery to for the c corp that is
they aren't as clean as vanguard but their book is harder imo
It’s the same every year. Their book is harder but never truly clean
Holy crap, someone please get the quad heads in tune!
4:22 Great. They turned Blue Devils into a ballet troupe
Totally sold out, the BD lines of the late 90's, and early 2000's were epitomie of greatness. The pre Brandon era was the best.
Agreed
Se ven mas debiluchos que el año pasado
Everything is just rammed and fast. No musicality. This is the problem with modern day DCI. This style needs to die. I'm not a boomer.
Watch the entire show musically is not the issue the scores are going to reflect that just watch
Wait till this guy watches Boston haha more notes more fun
You may not be a boomer, but you still have a lame-ass boomer mentality towards the activity. So...congrats on being boomer-adjacent, I guess? Haha

The Sanford is coming back to the Devs🧼🔥💯🏆🥁
SCV Better this time.
Easy to play cleaner when you are playing a 3 times more simple book
@@marklower007Rennick focuses heavily on fundamentals early on, which is why vanguard is cleaner early on. Different approach, both are great.
@@marklower007 That's why I said "this time"
@@marklower007 I will say I dig BD's writing though. Seems a little more adventurous than recent. Is Scott Johnson still writing this?
@@marklower007 Name 3 things BD is playing Vanguard isn’t also playing right now.

Santa Clara Vanguards has much better drummers. Their percussion section is why better than these guys.
alright foo chill 😂
