This is better than DCI...better than Blue Devils, Vanguard, all them! These drummers are PLAYING THE SOUL OF SPACE! They are drumming with they mind, emotions,body,and spirit! Simply nothing but impressive and amazing! I can't stop and won't stop watching...matter of fact...LET ME GO ENROLL!
The opening cadence sounds like a remix to a very familiar cadence played by SCSU's BBI of which BBI played in early days of the RJ Sargeant era of the Marching 101.
LOL. Too smooth. It look like about half the line was madd high though. Feelin' themselves a lil too much. That's how it's gotta be sometimes though. It's like that line from Half-Baked;"Have you ever performed in a band on weed?". This was awesome and full of subtle flare. They really draw you in. Feelin that ol'school step from the tenors as well. This was dope.
They really remind me of Morris Brown back in the day. Not the movie Drumline Morris Brown, even though those are the actual drummers. Been keeping up with these guys for almost 3 yrs now. I love every minute of it.
Just found this. Really just need to note that it's a different tradition than DCI or traditional college bands. Definitely the cleanest I've seen in this style. Would be interesting to see God actually use it as a cadence.
Great camera work, great stick heights, great coordination, great grooves, great... everything. See a lot of wandering eyes tho! I'm sure when performance time comes everyone lookin' straight.
People keep saying how it's so smooth. I want to be in high school drumline next year, and I can't tell how it's so smooth. I just hear everyone playing literally altogether and no one messing up... Is it the dynamics or something? Visuals? Thanks in advance to anyone :)
Just like Khalila Perry said. It's takes a lot of practice to be able to be as one like these guys. Once you get the opportunity to join. Take advantage of all the clinics and ensembles that are presented to your music program. Before you know it you'll be one of the best.
i thought this drumline has been dope since 1993 and in the last twenty years my opinion hasn't changed. Worry about your own drumline because trust me cold steel is not worried about yours!
Tht redbone cymbal female player is sexi :)....but besides tht man tht was the smoothest I've ever seen...an the tenors were swag gin the hell out the whole cadence the whole entire time...can't wait for season to start so I can see all the upload vids of y'all frm this comin season
I think other schools was jus scared mentally to play against CS during this era....they look like they ready to fight ya....Classic CS line here!!!!Top3
It's called a game face. Some call it a "mean mug." Whenever you're strapped up and playing it's time to throw down. All about business. After the cutoff and you put the drums and sticks down you can go back to smiling. :-)
I am going back for another bachelors (even after I already have my masters) just to march!!!!! I need a back brace and a water backpack and I'm in there!!!!!
As a drummer for almost years and having many friends in dci as well as being exposed to dci, this is not some crazy thing don't think I'm one of those assholes who ruin comment streams I'm just saying that this drumline is more of a crowd pleaser instead of a serious all out drumline most of their rhythm are all easy and simple but what i give them huge credit for is their ability to listen to each other though simple their drumbeats require them to be cohesive as a group and they really work out well and for the most part is was pretty damm clean
These are FIELD CADENCES so they are designed for the FOOTBALL CROWD. But please don't assume that this is ALL that we do. You don't get this CLEAN without being TECHNICAL too. So if called upon to do the TECHNICAL, we can do THAT as well and VERY WELL if I might add.
