12 World Championship Hands - PASIC 2018 

If I was playing a pad at 3 am my family would kill me

@@duston1649i use my knees as a practice pad when i dont have one on me

When Casey Brohard was done, watch Poole's face. He was definitely impressed

😂I know right

yea lmao

Yes!!!!!! I feel you on That one

Yeah I'm not always impressed with the stick twirling. I don't think a drummer has to be a juggler to be good at their craft

He is old school just based on the sound of his snare. It isn't cranked way up like a lot of marching snares are these days. A sound I remember, and like, from my own marching days, Purple Lancers, Auburn NY, 1967-1974. The other thing is not as much an emphasis on speed. I could actually make out what rudiments he was playing most of the time. The other - not so much. Everything was a blur.

...at least his snare doesn't sound like constant farts.

first guy is Charlie Poole. Taught the 27th Lancers in the 70s and till 86 when they folded. Won many individual titles. Marched Boston Crusaders in the 60s

Ryan Cox hello.

Lolol

Matthew Grover Casey Brohard is our high school marching band drum tech smh no wonder our drum line is so fire

Yeah, he has the best flow. The other guys work felt so choppy every Time they transition into a new section

He grooves on that snare like crazy

Yo I tried that shit. I’m partially blind now from trying to keep up

he looks like he coaches peewee football

@@jvogler_art4708 honestly he looks like a guy that plays snare drum on the weekends....

firkinjackanapes his hands have seen better days

Yee Haw what...?

Wesley Mannino my bad I replyed to the wrong comment, I was talking about Scott Johnson

Yee Haw ah! Ok agreed haha Brandon’s were outstanding I was like “huh” 😂

I got to meet him, he techs at a school in arizona and he was at the same band comp as me

I saw scojo's look through all those that played . They were all looking for one another to just make one little mistake just to say " I got ya" .

popeye sailor Heck yeah! I can see his playing has really improved even since his championship days

Rogers Dynasonic. From my era.

Much more challenging to play than the other snares as well. It doesn't just throw the stick back at you.

@@Carlo24515 been thinking about getting one or a ludwig just for building a foundation

Well you got Brandon Olander who plays for the blue devils and has scoliosis.

Radiated [Line Rider] Which one is he?

@Bugay Den he is the very last one. He is very good too. He played in the blue devils drum line when he was only 12! ||| ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H0_OkH30BXA.html

@@off_brand_water9300 correction...he played "with" the blue devils at 12. It was a few years later before he actually made the corps.

I believe Marty Hurley, was a member of the budget Sacrament golden knights, who Bobby Thompson taught for many years, the Golden Nights at one of the best drum lines ever any activity. I was fortunate enough to compete against the Blessed Sacrament golden knights when I was a snare drama with the Floyd Bennett golden eagles from Brooklyn New York. We never beat them in, drum execution, we beat almost every Drumline in exposure to era, we were playing switch rudiments back then very few if any drumlines playing them. Also our hornline triple tongue, very few Common People course did that as well, our brass Ranger, was, Hy dreitzer, the best arranger at that time in the country considered by many to be the best ever. Our brass quartet in 1960, beat the st. Kevin's Emerald Knights by 10 points, at that time they held the national champion, horn quartet, a week after they won the championship, Floyd Bennett for that first time ever competing in quartet beat them by 10 points. Our very first year in competition we defeated many of the well-recognized drum and bugle Corps. Our very first ever want you moving competition we took first place, our second competition was that Garfield Invitational, I believe it came in second to last beating St Lucy's Cadets. In my opinion our support management at no experience in the activity, we did not practice, before a competition, or getting to competitions on-time last-minute stuff. That was our weak point, with the Floyd Bennett golden eagles, great instructors, but our support team at no experience in the activity whatsoever, they kind of treated us just like we're getting ready for parade. When I joined the sun rises in 1964, I realized all the competitions we may have one or came close to winning, but due to our lack of experience, in the activity cost us several competitions. Don't get me wrong that we support team with fantastic. As a member of the Long Island sunrises we practice hard we worked hard and we won many competitions, leading up to the first national championship in 1968 in New Orleans Louisiana. Today is May 18th 2023.

If he’s your age group that’s automatically let’s me know that you have a bias

Charles Poole is about real rudimental drumming, has nothing to do with age. He's not into tricks, juggling and being a clown. In my opinion DCI is the reason for the demise of what was one of the greatest activities between United States and Canada. Thousands of drum and bugle Corps have fell by the wayside. They turned the activity into a marching band competition superimposed on a three-ring circus.

@@americanspirit8932 well that’s an opinion. Personally I think dci and these new groups have helped modernize drumming and expand it. The tricks and the new snare builds and sound are apart of the newer era of drumming. If anything performing and mastering tricks while playing complex rhythms shows that you have skill and adds to the visual aspect of drumming.

@@americanspirit8932 are you mad that it also has a visual aspect as well? Drumming has not dwindled in musicality at all. Look at the recently lines and their music. Then look at the stick tricks they do. Barely any. You realize millions STILL watch drum corps right? Just because you throw a fit over the sport evolving and you not doesn't mean others aren't following along. I can't with these blind old heads

@@americanspirit8932 honestly I think its MORE musical now! A bunch of Charlie's solo was the same tempo, a bunch of 16ths with crazy stickings and rudiments. Dude new lines are insane. Like Blue coats this season, they had a seventhlet in 6, you know how hard that is? And how nice it sounds? Then SCV's writing is just beautiful. They are constantly adding new times as well as new sounds. I've seen 5:3, 7:6, 8:9, Fivelets fit into the spacings of triplet putaduhs. Brandon's solo constantly flexed in musicality, constantly bringing it up in dynamics and down. Bumping up the tempo and slowing it down. Effortlessly pulling off some rudiments and stickings that Charlie had and even better! Drum corps is evolving, stop being blind and appreciate the evolution of music

It’s a lower tension snare with Mylar. I love the sound

His paradiddles too 8:07

I believe if Poole would have been using a different/tight snare,it would have really made the difference for what he done.IMO the 3rd guy had the best which I was surprised with considering ScoJoh was there & I figured he would take the win.

truly the greatest pla- percussionists

😂 you see the guy behind him, he look mad cause he know Brandon won lol

Because he was a prodigy at such a young age and was all over youtube. Rob Carson was the man back in the day but no one is even mentioning him.

@@jemberbizuneh7998 yeah

@therainman777 srry bro I didn't think of it as boasting but as info about how almost anyone can try to practice this kinda stuff...honestly my bad

If you want to see a true rudimental Jihadi, look up Rick Beckham

@@xXEvangelXx And Rick was taught by Charlie Poole (the first guy)

@@nsmith996 Beckham is an animal on snare - love to watch him throw it down!

Yeah,Beckham is a beast but he marched 1981 27th lancers and apparently they were trash according to some folks here. Sarcasm btw. Lol. Beckham is old skool but he can play literally anything.

Doesn’t mean your not good there are levels to everything and if you wanna be there then you got to work at it

Did he ever win I&E?

@@TopDrumCorps From what I know (which isn't much), he did place 6th in 1994 or so (people more well-versed: please correct me if I'm wrong or missing something!)

Think this was a champion only invite.

brandon olander is a legendary chopmaster that aged out this year as center snare for bd and i&e champion

Tf? This is horrible attempt to be funny.

How Gabriel

Jdizzwhompers. Your comment, now that’s funny. Thanks for the laugh

@@GabeT04 what

I’m pretty sure brandon played his 2015 solo in this video

thats the dude from the video of the 12 year old kid playing with the Blue Devils

bro that’s brandon olander... you know, the best snare drummer in the world? center snare for the Blue Devils for like 3 years?

@@fl4sh762 Why are all your sentences questions?

Charles Poole, is a real rudimental drummer. The others really don't display that skill at all, they are more interested in visuals, juggling, by the English. Charles pool, by far the best rudimental drummer.

@@americanspirit8932 You may want to think that, but Charlie’s playing was not very clean and the other performances were far more impressive and showed much more dedication to the craft than some simple rudiments

@@eboone Completely WRONG.

​​@@americanspirit8932 Stick tricks and visuals does not mean they are not a "Real Rudimental Drummer." You can like the old style, but just because you like it more. Doesn't mean you have to bash modern players. As a matter of fact, Fred Sanford had his members perform visuals back in the 70's when he taught SCV. That style that Charles and everyone else from his time in DCI used is what built up modern Rudimental Drummer. Including visuals.

And his drum sounded like a musical instrument

You hit the nail on the head. He was the 27th Lance's Drumline instructor, and they had one of the best all-time drumlines in the country.

SAHBfan the modern marching snare

Yes. Because every snare line back in the day playing on Mylar sounded like crap. Please.

@@denesisdelcorockschool3074 They literally ALL sounded like complete trash compared to the insane drumming of today. My highschool could sound better than any snareline before 1990

Lol!! I think at least four of the drummers in this video would disagree with your statement. Do you think Scott Johnson would say "yeah,when I marched blue devils in 1977 we sounded like trash just like all the lines at the time. Haha. If you think a high school snare line could play the books of lancers,bd,Santa clara,spirit of atlanta,bridgeman,etc from back in the day you are smoking some good shit. Sons of liberty in the 60's! we're poss clean. FAct! The modern lines are amazing but don't discount the best lines from the 70's and 80's.Some of the best players on the planet Played in those lines. To this day Robbie Robinson could crush nearly any drummer alive today. Brandon,casey,brice, all gifted drummers but if think Rob Carson couldn't play their stuff is insane. He invented half the stuff they play! Sigh.wtf?

denesis delcorockschool I meant C L E A N. By the way, my high school has one of the top drum lines in the world, one of the best marimba players who played SCV for 3 years came from here. Either way, the stuff they played back then isn’t nearly as hard or as clean as modern DCI. It’s still more complex than modern high school music, but nowhere near as clean. What even are you credentials?

In every marching ensemble you are taught to never listen to the drumline because 1. They are too far away and sound takes time to travel 2. They play very complex stuff as you can see and it makes getting time from it difficult

To be fair you do want some tricks in a solo. You don’t want none and you don’t want too much

Yep. He was the sloppiest out of the bunch .

i think his left stick went to far up and that made him mess up, you can see he fixes it when he starts doing the stick clicks

Yes!!

DeckerCreek do you know what type Brandon was playing ? Yamaha ?

CHRIS ROACH Scojo and Brandon were both using System Blue Snares.

C O usually in marching band for snares they use Kevlar drum heads because they’re more durable and they’re louder. Also it for judges and audiences in stadiums it’s more clear to what the line is playing

I TOTALLY AGREE. THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS HE SOUNDED SO AMAZING PLUS HIS TECHNIQUE IS EXCELLENT.

Charles Campbell agree, if you had a ringing snare sound it will be harder to hear chops and fasting playing, it just won’t be clear.

That's what real drumming is all about, not like these marching bands today superimpose on the three ring circus, juggling head bobbing, Rim shots of the yin-yang.

@@americanspirit8932 do you teach?
