What blows me away is even 5 years ago, kids with his grip/technique would probably have had that right hand slice coached out of them on the grounds that their sound quality, dynamics, and articulation would suffer. Cameron's technique, for as individual and unique as it is, succeeds and exceeds on all of those fronts.
Christopher Koffel couldn’t agree more! Rennick looks for sound quality, rhythmic accuracy, and obviously how well you can play but he looks above the “prefect hands” philosophy
I’m glad corps are going ahead with unis that fit the show design. This activity is art. Everything should reflect the intent behind the piece (show), including the costume IMO. If you’re invested in a corps, learn what their uni is going to be that year - I’m kinda sick of old heads complaining about how they can’t recognize certain corps anymore. Then again I marched in a corps where this has been the philosophy for more than a decade already.
Tim Noonan That's fine. However they are going a little too far sometimes. Hell the Blue Devils snare line last year looked like they were wearing dresses once they took off their coats. They looked like the color guard picked up some snares. A bunch look like that. It looks like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy got ahold of their costumes and said "IT'S NOT FLAMBOYANT ENOUGH!!!!!!"
I'm proud of you Cameron. I've enjoyed watching you grow over the past couple of years. You did a fantastic job this year! Hope to see you at PASIC again. I will be in the Drumslinger Percussion booth this year. PLEASE stop by if you are there so we can throw some notes together again. Again, proud of you. Congrats!
It blows me away that ANYONE would have the gall to give this a thumbs down or to make negative comments. Seriously people? Congratulations to you Cameron! No doubt you have put THOUSANDS of hours into developing your extraordinary musical skill. Continue to pursue your passion!!!
TheNapkinOfTruth the reasoning for that is because of Rennick. Instead of focusing on technique like every other core does to look uniform, Rennick cares a lot more about getting the music clean, so he lets the players play with their most comfortable technique. If you watch one of their lot videos, you can see that almost none of the snares share technique, same with tenors.
I find it weird that most of them play with just their wrist and arms, almost no finger... It's just such a high probability that everyone is jacked up at the end of the season.
Gage Martin That's actually a really smart approach and makes a lot of sense. I wonder how long it'll take to catch on. They're certainly doing something right--the whole line sounds like something other than human!
trey harrington bruh your class mate ended up on Santa Clara vanguards drumline and they won DCI world champions and they won best percussion DCI AND he won I&E I wish I had extraordinary friends lol
Not sure if you're still reading comments for these but next time you probably shouldn't have motion tracking on their body. Not sure if that's what's going on but that's kinda what it looks like, if I'm wrong let me know. Other than that it's perfect.
Probably doesn’t help this was on a monopod instead of a tripod haha hands were a little shaky plus the in-body stabilization on the A7iii was a little finicky at the time
Is it just me, or do his gauntlets look like they're on the wrong hands. Like they're flipped? Also: does it feel like the camera just slightly follows his body's movement?
Really? There are so many different implements used/ heights difference/ plenty of different rhythms/ dynamics. Just because it’s fast doesn’t make it not musical
