yeah... we had a couple of drum instructors from DCI when i was in high school... and our heads were always tight. we went through so many that my senior year we ordered in bulk. Blue devs have always been so sweet!!!
I just got finished marching bass, I moved to snare, but I loved bass. It is truly amazing when your bass line nails runs, they will soud amazing. Good luck dude!
I came from a small school in a small part of the rural world, and our drumlines were always small and under-talented. I remember the first year we weeded out the non-hackers and trained everyone up, we were the only line that did runs at competition and took home best in class. It was fantastic. A good bass line is essential.
0:43, I think if this was split up to 2 bass drums, some in the audience may realized what they saw and I heard it may have been the first public performance of hand to hand splits, you can tell bass 3/4 were awaiting a reaction and got nothing. What a feat, circa 2002 for crying out loud
bassline is 100% worth it!!!!! it's taught me to be patient and to work my ass off!...if your in a really good drumline like ours you must practice all the time or you will get behind. And if you have a group of great players that can count and sub divide their ass's off then it makes for the coolest thing ever and people will love to watch!!!
@SpDrumz seriously, bass line is usually the one that gets little to no love :( finally glad to see them showing viewers what we're all about :3 bassline ftw :P
In fact...put "drum corps bass line" in the RUclips search bar and click on the link titled "2011 Drum Corps International Walnut Show - Santa Clara Vanguard Bass Line, Pt. 5 " Note the tempo, and the fact that the feet are moving....and listen to what they're playing...VERY complicated and intricate...and it is part of the performance show on the field.
i think they get the different more muffled sound because of the type of base drum heads they use. they're thicker than the more commonly used ones in any marching band
I had this on my myspace profile for some time(no joke). This was definitely a great bass line, even though corps and their show were no match for the Cavies in '02. I've always been curious as to what causes the slight skip at 3:25. If anyone can explain, please explain. Other than that, good stuff.

SWEET!!!!!!!! I love, really love low instruments, simply love bass drums... exquisite video...
Yo thats like the TIGHTEST bass section Ive ever seen. Rolls were DELICIOUS!!
Everything was so clean!
Classic Blue Devil Bassline, runs all over with huge Unison finishes. God I wish I were that good.

It's always gotta start slow and speed up.
i spent 30 min looking for this, finally fucking found it. haven heard this in 4 years. so happy.
The run at 3:27 made the whole clip for me
i love bass lines and this one was sweet
This makes me happy.
Love the ending.. so powerful, it gives me goosebumps :)
Gives double bass a whole new meaning!
It was actually two nights before. We had two midnight rehearsals and then a couple runs the morning of I&E. Good times...
cuz theyre all in amazement!
they are the best for ever

Sick, man, sick. It sounds like one person playing some massive tenors . . . with about eight extra arms. I loves me some bass ensemble.
gah, if only every band had a bassline like this one. tight, and trained. the devils are certainly elite.
that 1st bass is a beast
Chamber Music, thank you. It was a fun summer.
Yay first bassists!
Yeah, I'm the first bass in my drumline.
The Blue Devils are amazing.
Dam 1st bass is my baby and this is what i would love to fricken be a part of. a awesome bass line
I like that they put some of their show book in the solo.
bass 5 is where the party is at man.
This is absolutely unreal
one word explians it all....WOW!!
Why is it that there's never any good bass line videos in good quality. This shits amazing regardless.
that takes a lot of practice. mad props

that is some fucking amazing shit! I'd love to be able to play like that!
I dig on bass three, but that five has got some mad chops!
fo sho these guys are so tight!
the blue devils are my fave
daaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmnnnn!!!
kick ass runs!
sickest bassline ever!!!! 1sT BASS!!!!!!!!! all the way
The amazing part is that this was all put together in 3 days.
damn, i mean i am a woodwind player but after seeing these guys, it makes me want to be in the drum line lol.
Bass 5's got chops!
This needs to be an olympic sport
this was amazing lol, i just wish they had added a filler like the blue knights when they switched sticks
We have those same basses at my school
number 1 =)
It's because they're stunned speechless.
Bass 2 , Ryan, is my bass tech. Haha
I just came
SIGN ME UP!
The visual demand......damn.
perfectly said.....

tenors are where its at, i gotta give basses some respect when they get nice runs and grooves like this though
nice. I'm bass 4 in my drumline. we do a song like this with basses on the ground, but it's no where near as complex.
that's technique or also you can do it with odd strokes,an cordination practicing a drag
imagine being in that audience and having to keep yourself from exploding.

HEY GUYS.. The tied and untied roll in snaredrum is played alike?
Yeah, Odello is amazing. He has the hardest part and never drops a note.
i just made the d line at my school and i play bass now but isnt my 1st choice at all..
is bassline worth it?
I play bass 3 too :D
thats crazy how are there that many people?
these guys fucking pwn
wish my bassline was that good
@gfaithw not really, 32nds at 60 beats a minute is only 8 hits a second.
its shit like this that keeps me drumming
i love to do bass line, but the bass line at my school wasnt great. i wish we were good, other wise i wouldve stayed. i do tenors now
sick nasty
Just curious, what place did this ensemble get, that was great!
@gfaithw kinda like a slow role with one hand, basically...
I play bass 1 i was 2 as a freshman but now im 1
i know the 4th bass player. he taught at my hs drumline once. lol
@NicoleWrite They wouldn't be doing this sort of thing on a marching band field, it's an ensemble.
i hear a bass lick from 1997
That's amazing. But I'd be more impressed if they were holding the bass drums and moving with them, while playing, and staying in step.
which bd corp is this? bda or bde?
haha lol i wanted to know what 偶像 meant so i accually got it translated lol...its idol by the way people
Not the crossover stuff...but the intricate playing?? Sure...if the music required it (especially in an exposed feature)
If it is, I'm not laughing....
does anyone else besides me play 1?
google search bass ensemble and you get tons of good videos
if you kinda cross your eyes while watching the sticks come out of the screen...
kungfoo music
Sorry double bass pedal players, you can't compete with this.
@master22drumfool sounds more like a "phew"
have you been eating that yogurt again?
if u had beast ass subwoofers you could get good quality.
phantom regiment in 2001 was better. but blue devils have always had a really good drumline overall
type PRIZE before youtube
