Shotts and Dykehead Drum Solo feat. Jim Kilpatrick & Ty Fry 

wow.the coolest drum show i've seen yet

TIGHT!!! I always loved this style but haven't seen a solid group til now! thanks for the great post!

I love the clarity of those snares

unbelievable... full on pros.

i live in Vancouver BC and got to see the Simon Fraser pipe band practise a few times ,, The Drummers are amazing Max Reid. and the others..Also in the late 70s in Victoria BC Canada i took lessons from John Fisher , What an amazing player and humble man .,

I love the way it sounds like one snare. the timing on it. And the way the tenors are so synced in their swings

Straight up dropped my jaw! It would be nice to see the actual performance in their uniforms.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

the old man with tha snare is killing it !!

There salute at the Worlds 08 was awesome!

I get to see these guys in August, am going over to Scotland to compete in the worlds :)

LOVING the buzzes.

amazing!!!!!! wish i would not swapped my kilt for the kit!!

Jim Kilpatrick is probably one of the best side drummers we will ever have the opportunity to see and any side drummer could learn a lot from him. (e.g me :P)

the top secret drummers of basel are great but these guys are on a different level. perfection of pipe band drumming Jim Kilpatrick.. what a master

WOW, awesome trilling those drum sticks.

I LOVE IT !

Its the 'Three Camps' part which are borrowed for both from 'Salute to Max Rayne'

AWESOME! To take part in a cool drumming contest, check out the Tyfry.com drumming contest sponsored by Jim Kilpatrick, Scott Currie and Cameron's drumming studio. Loads of great prizes to be had.

Happy Birthday Tyler!!

Excellent solo, Saw it at the worlds concert. Good to see the man himself kilpatrick makes mistakes now and then. doesn't make me feel so bad now if i drop a stick!!??

Blue Knights used this as their drum feature this year!

This makes me feel like an ant looking up at an elephant.

Holy crap this is good

Wow a tenor corps that big must be hell to keep in sync! I thought 6 was bad enough.

this is one of the toughest salutes ive seen. the tenors have to be really careful not to hit it any harder than a light tap and the way the snares all sound like one drum is amazing. (and im not trying to call them out on all they're imperfections...but in their cd laboum, if u listen closely you can hear them drop a stick...once in the middle and once aty the verry end.) but shotts is one of the greatest pb in the world and is one of my faves.

hah hey i was there our band stayed there it was weet saw it at thre practise day before lol

How do they spin their sticks? What is the technique called?

what are the things in the front??

even the Scots massed pipe bands would be impressed with that display (excluding the clothing though ;)

is it me or do some parts of this drum routine seem similar to the 'chilli drummer's fanfare' from red hot chilli pipers?

@Faststick: That's the goal. :-)

2:09 impresive

Go to 7.00 minutes. He drops his stick but is lucky enough for it to bounce to his body and he catches it again.

Holy SH** at 0:11 .. How the fu** they do that.. is it like little strap things on their hands??

These guys are quality, try watchin some of the dire attempts by the yanks.

its cause hes like mastered his tecnique executing the most with the least amount of energy

Might be very technically difficult, but I'm bored enough to wright this in the 2 minute mark....

@army1m16 That would be Jim Kilpatrick lol

u serious ??

its sopuse to sound like one snare ONE BAND ONE SOUND DHU

@Faststick I wouldn't go that far

well w/e we all know canadians are the best... sfu is current world champs : )

C

lmao

Lol, opinions are like assholes...everyone has one...em to be 16 times world champions you ain't as rough as guts..and as entertaining and visually spectacular that US drumline is...it isn't particularly technical for the most part...elite pipe band drumming slaughters drum line for technicality. But, thankyou for input anyway...bye bye now.

@bottomsnare Oh so it's all fake.. It's still AMAZING!!

awfull noise
