I’m one of those first Timpani players, dating back to the 1975-1977 Stockton Commodores, and 78 Sacramento Freelancers. then 1979 Santa Clara Vanguard pre-season. I made the auditions but not the commitment. Carrying a timp and marching was not the easiest thing to do. But, it was worth the effort as the ensemble and split parts were a great sound! Wow! I can still hear it backed up with a strong bass line, the snares, and the trios. What a sound! Michael Boo (RIP) - at Drum Corps International.

Here is the Live version of This video of the Santa Clara Snarleine Warmup with the Quads and Bass line. ru-vid.comxysiel1srIA?si=TMV_Iou5QH2BETs8&t=910
They just tuned up the snares so that was a process but it could be the audio because it was so loud in the edit. Being too close to them like I was you have to be really optimizing the audio in pre and post. But they are really tight Paul is a master in this he has it down to the sticks and drums to the technique thanks for commenting . Who did you march with ? 😀
@@RobertVee No hate here man just wondering that was all, the SCV and Rennick combo is my favourite! I'm from the UK so I marched with RMS HMS SS captain bumbleweed corps for 16 years or something like that
@user-yv5mt9rm3d you got it! I am always informing the viewers the possibilities of the audio being out in the field it’s never a perfect condition. I’m just happy to provide footage for everyone in my day we didn’t have all these cameras … I just love drum corps 😀 Your comments are valued thank you stay tune for more 😀
Just sounds like another Paul Rennick led line. By that I mean another Sanford-winning line. Got to watch SVC battery warmup for semifinals in Indianapolis some years back and it was perfection.
@@RobertVee Just Huei, but we'll have an Ensemble Block video team hanging with Paul for the Denton and San Antonio shows. Will you be there? We would love to have you meet more of the team!
I will not, but I’m in the decision state of going to finals, I think Huei introduced me to Paul is Paul on the company team section of your website? I would love to meet all of you😀
I also have a video of Huei introducing the Ensemble Block service coming up in uploads you know how it goes when you compile so much footage then you have to edit and upload 😁
@@RobertVee Oh that's great! Not sure we're going to finals...we should though haha Paul is not, but we are helping him to produce a 1st of it's kind video course where the master himself will be revealing his secrets ;) It's going to be amazing! But yes, hope we can find a way for us to meet you as well!
@@RobertVee Are you referring to the same DCI CEO that attended Bluecoats preseason performance and Crossmen family day this season, which were all held on different days? Must be biased towards them too. I am just waiting to see if the IRS shows up at a DCI event and confiscates those shiny red drums SCV has since the adults in the room at SCV can't conduct business properly.
@@RobertVee Fair enough. In case there was people thinking that BD is winning because the CEO shows up at their events, I just wanted to ensure they knew the DCI CEO shows up at multiple corps events each season. It's not a biased BD thing.
The bottom line is people are comparing lines to easy books verse hard books and clean early on but here is my take just give me hard core drum corp if quarter notes are clean and loud you got my attention and respect. I love that unison sound chug ga boom boom 🎉 Ratta tat tat diggie pop pop boom 😅 RLRrLRLl
Yes. And also, SCV’s book this year is really hard, and it’s a lot of notes. Pretty cowardly to give other lines credit for a harder book just because it’s dirtier. Maybe SCV is just in their own league 🤷♂️
And wait till I upload some videos of the open class like Blue Devils B and Golden!!! They are so good too .. but Vanguard are coming in real hot 😀 stay tuned for more 😀
So sorry for your loss. Your father / grandfather was a truly inspirational person, and knew about and taught the truth about a plant based diet high in vegetables and fruits way before anyone else - at least to my knowledge. Thanks for calling my attention to your post, as I had not seen it until today and was unaware of his passing. With great sympathy and respect, Dr. Win Smith, D.O.M.
Hi John, he really wanted to talk to you...he had a heart attack we are still in shock. see his page here facebook.com/CaryCaptainCarrotNosler/posts/pfbid02ETatnocRTh1ZxS4hcGoSwteZdQTFHAEmDYHQ3no5RB423wNCye7Vm6FhjNyUYgfBl
@@RobertVee I do. Marched 09-10 in DCI. Tried out WGI and then taught a bit after that. Still do drum locally here in Chicago. Did the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Bears drumlines!
@@jimmykrutakofficial294 Yes my ears are deaf after DCI west I was right next to all Drumlines and horns for hours next time I need to wear ear plugs lol Thanks
@@drummersnare6276 thank you and yes it was a great time in Stanford and seeing DCI Alumni friends and Drum corps with great food and show it was awesome to say the least! Stay tuned for more videos from the event coming up 😀
@MBRKOMBAT you will at age 15 I played cymbals and I was taking music in school playing drums, I joined Drum Corps and was promoted from Cymbals To Marching Timpani while playing all percussion. My Drum instructor gave me 2 weeks to improve in my new position or I would be cut. So I bought a drum set and Took drum lessons and I practiced all day long and I was able to play 32nd single-stroke rolls like a storm coming in!! Needless to say I made the drumline and went on to play in world-class Drum corps and went on 3 tours across the USA and Canada! It changed my life. Keep on keeping on ..YOU WILL MAKE IT! 😀
The sound gets louder and louder each time the only time I witnessed such a loud drum line was in 1976 in Philadelphia you could hear this line for blocks away and that was the Cavaliers 🤩 Wow and high chops to boot as time progresses the blue Devils will be cleaner and louder 😀 stay tuned for more
They have the highest scores as of today 76 the east is 73 but time will tell this is still early season but as they play every day until finals it could be a breakout score for any corp but by the looks of it and experience Blue Devils will be the 22nd time champs 😀
I will see them again next week in Stanford then the Scv family day then Sacramento DCI Classic so it will be all out drum corps hype this next 2 weeks and months so I have to edit and upload videos 😀stay tuned for more
