Good Morning, I have been working getting cymbals ready for my high school cymbal line. One our cymbals does not have a strap on it, and we only have the sabian EZ cymbal straps, and can’t figure out how to install it. Im wondering if you have had experience with these straps before, and talk me through how to install, if possible. Btw, love the channel. Best, Aric
Ran into a “what are they feeding those kids” my freshman year at a competition and we had to perform after them... I didn’t even want to perform😂but we ended up getting 2nd overall and 1st place percussion
@@EMCproductions It's hard to poorly design something when you're a good designer. That said it's also hard to design something good when you're not, which is why so much drumline music is not compatible with the players' strengths and weaknesses.
Not even gonna lie, sometimes the all newbies feature is the move! Simple and clean is always better than fast and dirty. Seriously though this is probably one of the funniest vids on the channel
yeah and it may be simple and not complex and fast but it's at their skill level and it still sounds good and they can play it clean yes I know it's all one guy, I mean hypothetically
@@325bpm6 same. Then is also complacent (even tho he’s a percussionist himself) and makes it so I (the tech) have to get the group to that level in 4 months🙂🙃 which doesn’t work, but it happens
@@somerandomgoblin2583 I went to a TX 5A (at the time, I think the start of 6A in Texas was two years after I graduated) highschool that wasn't even an area finals qualifier, and then I went to a college elsewhere in the country with a Sudler laureate marching band. Everything about the highschool show was much more difficult, to the point that I quit college marching band after junior year because I wasn't getting out of it nearly what I put in
I know the “newbies” one is supposed to be funny but truthfully, it just shows that even a squad full of average players can impress if their play is clean and together.
@@firebread72 yeah I got you, just super frustrating. I’m a senior and we went from having a great line my freshman year to shit one. My sophomore year staff put 3 newbies on a 3 man snare line and it was awful. We had other options too that would’ve been much better but🤷♂️. The line’s never been the same since. My band is just not run well
Speaking from experience, I was apart of 2 lines (sophomore and junior year) that were competitive and then my senior year got all nubies that basically didn't care about the culture. It honestly gets frustrating when you've been use to so much winning. We were no where near that clean my senior year and i was drum captain my junior and senior year, so it was an experience for me.
"Missing a bunch of people." Hit me right in the feels. That's way my high school drum line. Luckily I marched Drum Corps in the summer, so I wasn't always forced to live with that.
Man drumset music just doesn't work very well on a drumline. For instance. My band is playing a super easy show this year (for obvious reasons). It's premade green day music essentially. I'm theoretically playing a snare part but I'm just playing a ride pattern on the rim for 90% of the show. not a fun last show.
Number 6 reminds me of the Recruit drumline at Navy boot camp. They pulled those of us that had drumline experience and put us into a special division in boot camp that performed on Saturdays for graduation during our last 3 weeks. We were left alone by the instructors on Saturdays for a few hours of rehearsal and told to just kind of figure out a cadence with the provided gear. I remember the tenors were totally messed up with drum 1 and 2 backwards and all tuned horribly. I asked the Chief in charge of the bands for a drum key and basic tools to fix them, worried I would get yelled at and told to figure it out, but surprisingly she came through and even got us new sticks and mallets for our performances.
I really appreciate the newbie one. Some high school lines I was hired to come help with (when I was a college student) would’ve really benefited from a simple but tasty arrangement like that
That's the thing, the smaller schools with less resources could sound so good if they just had simple but tasty arrangements . Its usually a stock 80s parts.
that’s what half of our baseline does I swear the majority of us forget our part so we end up accidentally playing something in unison or playing another persons part
It's been like 10+ years since I was in this world, but this brings me right back. I put so many hours/days into getting good that it's a little sad I just dropped it all. Unfortunate that if you don't end up as an instructor there's really no outlet to keep this up as a hobby. Love the vids.
As a band director, No. 3 is so relatable. We had 3 straight weeks where we didn’t have the entire bass line. COVID quarantines, vacations, sick, other stuff, just mia. Was someone different every day So upsetting.
I like all the rack stuff in the background, great to know we racks arent forgotten. I had a sick tambourine solo during a feature and they had to cut part of because “it distracted from the snareline” :( (our drumline is a “what do they feed those kids” line)
@@Jacob24668i was a cymbal my junior year (did workshops and the like) senior year I legit got drafted in to fill in for 2 rack players who quit since I wasn't planning on joining that year and it was just me and another guy which resulted in the rack going from irrelevant to super relevant (completely bossed it) Tldr: went from battery to pit
My freshman year we had no feature for our normal show, but we added some section features into our drumline only show. Sophomore year had a snare solo that our center played that was put over a woodwind feature so he had to play it as quiet as possible, and then all the features we had in our show this past year were cut almost immediately. This upcoming year our percussion director is writing all the parts so we might actually get something
OK THE TENOR WRITING IN THE STOCK SHOWS YES JUST YES rolls into flams and random stuff into double stocks and weird pushed and just YES nailed and poor bass 1 too oof
That “kicked off for fighting” hits home…Nicely done Devil Dog…as far as my High school Drumline went, we were…WANTED percussionists…seriously, the county sheriff’s daughter was on the flag corp and our lead snare was…good with the ladies shall we say…too good 😩
You forgot where the teacher just yells at the drum line when they do random stuff in the back of the class. As well as just playing memes on the bells/xylophone.
This was funny. Freshman was best players on snare, sophomore was tiny line like one of everything g except cymbals, junior was mostly newbie and the more experienced on snare, senior year was mostly tasty.
My high school mostly did street shows. We only did field when we were required to, like at the football homecoming each year. Because of how a lot of competitions were set up, bands were placed into categories based on school size, not band size. One year, our entire ensemble/guard was about 30 people, the drumline was 5. Our "features" were a little different - can't really do bass runs with 3 basses. So there we were, up against some drumlines with 20+ It's a good thing we had fun that summer!
Your front ensemble was so big and I'm super jealous 😭 we only have like 6 or 7 people, and only 2 (including me) can definitely play mallets and we're doing a show with a ton of percussion breaks
YES! Clean and tasty! I was in a fairly small marching band in high school. One of the funniest memories I have is when I ran over the other schools helper when I was marching with the bass drum. I didn't fall and still kept time some how.
I wish my drum line features had been as challenging as the “Newbie” feature.... (back in the day: 2003-2006). Guess that’s just how it be when you only have a pool of about 400 students to compose an entire band, and most people were more interested in sports over being a bandie kid.... :(((
This is fantastic, and I just love the behind the scenes scene at the very end. As lead snare at my high school (sans 1982 as a senior), you MASTERED what we played, and of COURSE we had a drum feature --> Every year ==> And because of those horrific scars, I transitioned immediately to the drumset upon graduation and have played in terribly cover bands playing in a ton of smoky bars all over Florida for more than 40 years. Thank you...and Good Night!
reminds me of when my hs drumline freshman year: 2 snares, 4 basses, all marching. we had 2 on tenors for parades and in the stands at games, but never had tenors as part of our show sophomore-senior: 1 snare, stationary with percussion pit (sophomore year pit was moved to front hash mark as opposed to the sideline, this never changed), and all 4 basses on a custom made cart (basses were basically a giant set of tenors but ordered high to low), with 2 players, each covering 2 drums. still no tenors as part of the show, only for parades, stands, etc
The reason it sounds good is because that the sound is actually a DRUM-SET snare drum, which is why it sounds good. It could also be because of the heads being changed to a drum-set snare drum head.
That was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time! I particularly enjoyed the gong and triangle stingers at the end of several arrangements. Well done and THANK YOU!
You’re great my friend. Awesome video! I was in Cadets 93 & 94 - mellophone, but sat on the drum bus lol I noticed @ 2:10 Tom solo was like our quad feature in 93. 🙌🏼 & after watching the very end, I certainly appreciate your creativity of this!
We had a small band and despite that our drum line was decent. One year for half of the competition season we had two bass drummers kicked out, another broke her arm. We had a 4 piece bass drum line with one person remaining. Ultimately he took all 4 drums, built a stack in a tight circle by the front ensemble and played all 4 parts lol.
This was my first year doing indoor drum line on quads. I’ve never played them and no experience with them. 3 of our 4 bass drums were beginners. 1 of our 2 snare players were new and I was the only quad player. We did fairly good this year and we were all in middle school besides 2 of us.
My high school drum Corps instructors all were former DCI graduates and music teachers. 2 from Garfield cadets, drum instructor Blue Devils, color guard had 2 one from Carolina Crown and Madison Scouts. We (the drumline were #4 and #7 on your list). We were division 1 but our instructors made us perform at DCI level and went after the division 4s score wise. It was the hardest thing but the most rewarding and fun times of my life I miss it.
They don’t care as long as he still does his main job efficiently. They will only care if it brings discredit to the Marine Corps or if it starts interfering with his responsibilities.
so i got to drum feature #4 and the video cut to an ad and the first thing the ad said was the new swiffer mop or sum so it said what do they feed those kids “THE ALL NEW SWIFFER MOP”
We had a drum break one year where we did some really flowy triplet rhythms with the back of the hand, before we got into the really choppy stuff. Thought it was pretty creative!
I'm going to be a junior this year (clarinet) and we're 2 days into practicing for a parade before band camp and I've already adopted 3 out of the clarinets 5 New freshman.
In my day, I was in the “dirty mess” drum line. 😊 I wish everyone could get to experience and the feeling of being in a drum line. You can’t really explain it, but it is a great feeling. I watch your videos and I feel really nostalgic for it. Great playing!
there was a school in the school district that the tenor players failed and got suspended for fighting. It’s always the tenor players doing something crazy
I was a drum kit in the middle of the field in 99. Nobody showed up at band camp. Somehow we won best in show drumline. Really sad but we were glad we got something for a change. You could hear laughing from other bands.
So funny and so accurate on many different levels. 😆👍🔥 Other features: gimmick feature (e.g., jingle sticks, fire drum heads, upside down tenors) and Tom Float era backsticking. 🤣
For those that thought this got removed and wonder why it’s unlisted: RUclips counts your video as “removed” if it can’t be accessed by others through your channel so you can make a video unlisted instead of private. So if you have found the link for the video from reaction videos for example you can still watch it. This can’t be a bad thing whatsoever

I cant imagine how long it must take to record and edit a video like this. Does the Marine Corp realize you’re really not doing marine stuff? 😂😂😂
They don’t care as long as he still does his main job efficiently. They will only care if it brings discredit to the Marine Corps or if it starts interfering with his responsibilities.
so i got to drum feature #4 and the video cut to an ad and the first thing the ad said was the new swiffer mop or sum so it said what do they feed those kids “THE ALL NEW SWIFFER MOP”
WHY IS THIS UNLISTED??
We had a drum break one year where we did some really flowy triplet rhythms with the back of the hand, before we got into the really choppy stuff. Thought it was pretty creative!
I'm going to be a junior this year (clarinet) and we're 2 days into practicing for a parade before band camp and I've already adopted 3 out of the clarinets 5 New freshman.
2:03 transcription says LllRrrLll on the ninelet but he does RrrLllRrr
I saw that part and got so confused lol
The behind the scenes footage of time-lapsed bass drums is much funnier than it should be
Band camp started yesterday and, for the first time, I’m playing tenor drum and I’m gonna work my way up to quads!
5:04 dang great job bass 1, he did it perfectly!
In my day, I was in the “dirty mess” drum line. 😊 I wish everyone could get to experience and the feeling of being in a drum line. You can’t really explain it, but it is a great feeling. I watch your videos and I feel really nostalgic for it. Great playing!
Idk why it was so funny seeing you play every part super fast then putting the bass drums away as you go I was dying of laughter
there was a school in the school district that the tenor players failed and got suspended for fighting. It’s always the tenor players doing something crazy
I was a drum kit in the middle of the field in 99. Nobody showed up at band camp. Somehow we won best in show drumline. Really sad but we were glad we got something for a change. You could hear laughing from other bands.
Nice! My high school director put this on the band Facebook page to try to recruit more members for drumline.
i love the extra touch of having bass one sit there and play nothing for the stock parts
I love how, in #5 Dirty Mess, you are looking all over the place, especially while playing the snares watching what your alter-egos are playing!
The snares during "never tunes thier drums" actually sounded really cool
I have seen all of those when I was in marching band, some years we had the clean and classy and newbies, with a splash of freestyle in the show
So true my line had a tenor player from Freelancers, you never new what funky ditty he was going to throw down at any moment.
In the first few chapters he plays one of the movements that we played for State Marching Band and it made me SO happy when I finally realized it
I like the variety of different people in these drumlines. You can tell they come from all corners of the world!
So funny and so accurate on many different levels. 😆👍🔥 Other features: gimmick feature (e.g., jingle sticks, fire drum heads, upside down tenors) and Tom Float era backsticking. 🤣
For those that thought this got removed and wonder why it’s unlisted:
RUclips counts your video as “removed” if it can’t be accessed by others through your channel so you can make a video unlisted instead of private. So if you have found the link for the video from reaction videos for example you can still watch it.
This can’t be a bad thing whatsoever
My high school was number 5 and 6. The instructor didn’t know what they were doing for drum line at all. Imagine my surprise in college.
