Carolina Crown 2019 Full Show Finals (Full Battery Score) - Learn The Beats 

Go watch 2009. From a 2012-2013 vet.

They’ve always been really good just pretty under rated for a long time

@@christianstainazfischer I think it's because they're brass line is so good, nobody ever thinks about they're drumline, or pit.

@@itwasbetterwithhats820 which ones were these

And their heights were godlike

Swimmingandy6 How do you know about Boston?

Jackson Arnold Thanks for watching!

Lmaooo

thank god im not the only one that saw that lmao

Me 1 year later: 😌

ZycloneBeasT explain?

lol bro practice, ain't hard if you get used to playing it

You wouldn’t get contracted in the first place with that attitude 😂

Here’s what I’ll say. This is my favorite battery book ever, and so I started learning it in like December of 2019. I was a few months into my first semester at College and I was hoping to audition with some corps that year with the goal to march at some point. I did not unfortunately (thanks Covid). But it was easily the hardest thing I had ever attempted. However, the more I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone, the easier it became. Eventually it got easier and I started getting more notes, faster. To where I was eventually able to play almost all of the book. Even that nutty opening that you referenced. All of that is to say, you never know what you’re capable of until you try.

Where?

Sam Tannen That’s not very specific

Angelic Melody directly after the last beat of the opener

The ones written like 8th notes should be the ones taking up 3 beats, while the 16th notes take up 1.5 beats. The ones written like "eight notes" signify a dotted 8th note space, so the notes would fall on 1, the a of 1, the + of 2, and the e of three. Because 16th notes are just 8th notes but double the speed, the leading hand of the 4let 16ths would play the aforementioned rhythm above while the trailing hand would fall in between them. A solid understanding of 16note timing is all you really need to get them. It looks a little more strange on paper than it actually is

It's called a tuplet. You've likely seen them before,,, as their used regularly to indicate all types of triplets. What's shown above is the most commonly used shorthand version. The unabridged notation makes use of a ratio written above or connecting the brackets. The unabridged version of 1/8 note triplets would use 3:2 above the bracket. (3, 1/8 notes played in the same amount of time as 2, 1/8 notes). The unabridged version of rhythms you're referring to above would use 4:6 (4, 1/8 notes played in the same amount of time as 6, 1/8 notes).

Mad mode. Might be Mag Mode

MacMode

I know that you mean...

@@decisivedecision Mean what?

That is your ear. Listen to it again, it is the famous slowing down of a measure. Going from sixteenth notes to triplets. ].

ItsToxicDemon I mean it almost sounds like their just playing a 7:4 poly there, like even spaced throughout Is there a ritard there that’s just not printed?

ItsToxicDemon oh you know what I get what you’re saying now, the measure before is entirely tripletized so it sounds weird coming out of it, thanks for pointing that out

Connor Gavin yup. This book makes use of triplet rhythms and I absolutely love it.

ItsToxicDemon not only triplet rhythms but modulating between that and duple rhythms and I love that as well

They’re on the way!

LearnTheBeats That's what I like to hear, keep up the good work 💪🏻

Ziel Which part?

It's probably because of the ghost notes. It looks correct to me

that would be invasion of privacy and an unwritten license to bad mouth someone's opinion.....like yours.

I know this is two years late, but I figure people might be interested. Sibelius, or at least the version of Sibelius I use, has an interesting quirk (flaw) where if you hit Ctrl-4 to make a fourlet, you by default get a 4:6 instead of a 4:3. I don't know why this is, but you have to go out of your way to get a proper 4:3 fourlet and many people don't bother. If you ever see a fourlet in which the rhythmic subdivision is half of what would make sense (e.g. eighth notes instead of quarters here), this is the most likely explanation

​@@evariste35342 years late or not I really appreciate finally getting an answer on this haha

Uhmm no it fills 3 quarter notes. The measure is in 6/4 and those take up half the measure.

@@drummersnare6276 Yes, that's obviously what's implied by the fact that there's only three remaining beats after that tuplet, but that isn't actually what's written. It fits into 3 beats, and is marked as a 4 let. Meaning this is a 4:3 bar of quarter notes, so inside the tuplet should be 4 full beats of value that fill the space normally taken up by 3. However, there's only 2 beats within the tuplet. The 32nd notes should be 16th notes, and the 16th note rests should be eighth rests.

@@nathanglugla4191 oh yes I see what you’re saying now, I think they should be written as 16th notes not 32nd notes

I agree

I'd go as far to say second

@@hardimonaddictyt9976 ye

You should listen to how it compliments the brass solos in the one percussion feature. Worth it. Sometimes it’s the little things

Cyrix 189 is the speed of the dotted eight note at 126. You could play the entire first section of the piece with a 126 click. The rhythms would just be a bit different on paper, though it would be the same hand speeds.

LearnTheBeats ah I see awesome! No way I could ever play this though, still just a sophomore in HS

Cyrix Take it slow (with a Met), pay attention to the details, and most importantly use your ears! All it takes is hard work and determination 👍🏻

189/126 = 6/4 = 1.5. It makes it take up the exact same amount of time between the 4/4 bars and the 6/4 bars

@@LearnTheBeats so they wrote the entire drum part in 6/4 while the brass was in 4/4. Thats insane

groove isnt really the intention for DCI music

@@positive.juice.apartment obviously. And I'm not saying everything has to groove, but when everything is just a string of busy/fast notes, it can turn into white noise #staticblur #staticblah

?

I used to think this to a certain degree, but now after playing to recordings of myself/ experience etc. I can confidently say these guys are mega skilled. Philosophical tangent, not directed at anybody, but fun for random commenters to find: but its important to remember that music is subjective, so when I expected to wowed away by videos like these, it just doesnt happen anymore. The general moral of the story may be to listen to drumlines sporadically, have fewer expectations, and just see it as is... a group of PERSONS (note the human-minded emphasis) spending an absurd amount of time on a niche activity. My goal is to spend way less time watching dci and more time practicing
