Bluecoats Drumline 2014 - Feature 

Lmao I heard that

lol

Christian Smith I think that was just a tire skid

Is the fifteen year old the second from the right?

***** yea

thought you had to be at least 17 ?

@@kingjokerful 16

Bloo Eagle nope

this is my favorite drum corps uniform. the thing on their heads!

Nope. Easily some of my favorite all-time uniforms

Bloo Eagle nope me too I loved these uniforms

I miss the uniforms so much

Sheldon Edwards it's been 3 years. 3 YEARS and I haven't noticed that until I just read that

Cause of death: age out.... Four door minivan will be remembered

Flarfatron Always.

WAIT THEY GOT 5TH. I THOUGHT THEY WERE 2ND

Nicholas for drumline

Probably content that got them

Ikr? This problem usually occurs with most drumlines. The bass line never gets enough fucking credit!

That's because that's 1 person on each part. A snares split means it's harder to get clean cuz more people

true, but it's still not that hard to split 16th notes

Jessa Deadtoyou understandable but it's not everyday you see a 16th note split on snare drums and extremely clean

What would make for a funny meme is if the original plan called for all those right-hand 16th notes to be unison, but the part got nerfed so the snares wouldn't seem OP -either way, those are some sick beats that will make for a challenge to learn-

Yet this kid didnt get to be on TV... lame.

Wait, Brandon w BD since 2010

Then how does he gets the attention since 2010?

Kelvin Chau He's been showing up to BD camps and playing w/ Scojo since he was 12.

and he's now marching Blue Devils

D Eazy bass one is my visual coordinator for my high school

Conflux don’t be a bitch

That LH release doe :(

Andy Turner i didnt even catch it. :(

Probably just 2 bad reps for that moment. I'm sure they'll become more consistent with it by Finals.

Split singles are getting pretty old now.

Andy Turner i thought that too when i first heard it. but i recently saw the music an it's actually suppose to be a flam and if you relisten to other ones there all flams. in my opinion they should just had a strong left hand release because 99% people will think it's just a sloppy release. then again im not writing music for drum corp so what do i know maybe they loved it.

Those paradiddles are burnin

@@ryandunklee634 it’s not even really the paradiddles, it’s those flams, those are crazy

hahaahahah I heard it too

I thought he said "Stop markin' tiiime!"

I think it was "Don't F***** STOP"

very appropriate response though lol.

lmao its kinda funny tho

Yeah he almost forgot to do the stick click thing!

How do you do that?

What's so insane, is that you can stil hear the space in the diddles.

+Tempest374 What about the tenors? Are they even worthy of a mention?

Woah woah!! Wtf is this. You gotta respect every drum. Snares, Basses and tenors.

@@randymarsh6477 as someone who plays all three, basses are definitely under rated, it’s really hard to do, I love them all equally, but basses deserve recognition

@@creeperkiller9795 Splits are a tough job

3 marched pulse, 3 marched rhythm x for snares

Normally, you would want to put foam on the drum

They put the foam inside the bass drums.

Actually they're using Evans MX1 Black heads - they come with muffling built in - no foam necessary. Remo heads need muffling

No they put the foam inside the drums. I marched there in 2012 and 2013

sorry man - sweet

My advice is too practice making your 16th check patterns until you can't play them wrong. then whenever you want to split something just come in a 32th note later and play in time.

Slow and precise is better than fast and sloppy.

Luke Hansard can't say that enough.

Laughingdawg13 sorry for replying so long after you posted this, depending on what part of the country you are in, there are many All-age and open class corps you can march in. All-age corps are usually going to practice only on weekends, and its a great transition if your parents aren't too keen on you leaving for a world class tour. open class is a step up from all-age time commitment wise. almost all DCA (all-age) and DCI open class corps will help get you into the group you want to be in.

really pay attention to your technique, and remember that a metronome is your best friend :-P

Learn the basic rudiments, and when the time comes.. Learn traditional grip

They sound very balance and blended with the corps. Balance+blend= beauty.

***** Read his final question.

Yes, if you walk around the parking lot and surrounding area of the stadium you go to before the performance, you're bound to find corps warming up.

It's a flam it's now really dirty That's how it's written

Pretty sure these are sfz

All roads lead to BD....they probably have the highest percentage of people who come to them from other corps. And this isn't new...in 84 BD I marched with a bari who'd won with Cadets the prior year.

there not pretty good, they are fucking amazing. that is what all drummers in the marching world should aspire to be.

Not just Bloo...BD tends to have people from a LOT of corps going to them. In 84 BD I marched with an 83 Cadet bari.

Joe Stanton lmao you'd have three dollars.

I don’t know what they are called because we don’t use them on our line but the bottom clear plastic just helps project the snare sound forward

It's on snarescience

Zack Foster thx man

***** its in the transcription library

***** page 128

closes the vents under the bearing edge

Owen Jarchow What does that do to the sound?

Holden Clontz Vents on makes it sound deeper, like a field drum almost. We actually had vents on our snares this year, they were nice.

bossnass010 No, those are top snares. They're newer on the Yamaha drums. Literally a snare device that presses up against the top head.

Logan Pelo no those are vents. Top snares don't open the outer side of the rim for sound.

If your talking about the one with the long hair, I think I saw him on one of Pulses videos.

The Asian one? If so yeah.

The center snare that year, Richard Ramos was also in pulse percussion.

Zach Francis it's actually eighth notes on one hand split between players

Fits perfect in the music lowkey aha

San Antonio, Texas

+DP Gaming / Blog I used to think these same things, I also used to be cocky and egotistical, even if you think you're on this level, constantly learn from those around you, and focus on technique, you may have the chops to play this, hell, thousands of people do, but you have to have a solid technique. Don't miss out on learning because you think you are already good enough, always practice the fundamentals, make sure those are strong and you'll stay golden ponyboy

+Zane Stackhouse nice "outsiders" reference :) And I am a snare on my JV drum line and I will admit, I'm probably the worst one on the snare line... I am also the only girl on snare, I'm in 8th grade and I'm 5' exact... I try, and what really keeps me going is everybody's attitudes to each other. We might argue about where our dots are every so often, but we will always stick up for each other and we are a big family. Keep practicing (I am only in 8th grade, so this is my third year in percussion, but oh well... I am very passionate about percussion...). That's a really good message that a lot of us need to take in, because honestly, we can get "a little bit" full of ourselves...

your message, not mine

That's what it's all about, your passion for your instrument and the fun you're having, and when you're passionate, and you practice a lot, you'll get really good, I'm only a 9th grader, but I do have some impressive musical accomplishments under my belt, but I don't want to brag, staying humble and learning from everyone (even people worse than you, or people you don't like) will take you far, best of luck to both of you with your drumming :)

Chops =/= blend, tone, approach.

+Donutswithlazerz Every SCV video ever

yep
