The Blue Devils 2024 Battery

You actually like this tuning?

🧢

What?

It’s a little close up to really tell but yeah they’re definitely better.

The basses sound incredible

You can see sound my dude?!? Loll jk but really the bd drum sound IMHO has come a long way since the switch to Ludwig

@@markoates9057 I liked them better last year and I saw them up close in person

Out of tune tenors.

*2015 feature reference 😉

They don't prioritize cleanliness early season, just wait and you can make a fair comparison later

Except the stupid swiping monkey strokes thing. That wasn’t so vertical.

They direct sound forward, not upward. They’re angled roughly 45deg. Think of what angle a mirror 45deg would do to a light source directed downward.

He aged out in 2023 unfortunately🥲

Watch the entire show musically is not the issue the scores are going to reflect that just watch

Wait till this guy watches Boston haha more notes more fun

You may not be a boomer, but you still have a lame-ass boomer mentality towards the activity. So...congrats on being boomer-adjacent, I guess? Haha

Saying that when this is literally a reflection of mid-2000s and early 2010s style book is funny. But also, there were plenty of parts that literally had musicality also literally their book last year was pure musicality as well. I wouldn't stress about BD for one time having moments in the book where they are playing fast and have notes. Literally the Cadets and Phantom back in the day rammed to another level before modern DCI.

@@BerserkRain Music does not need percussion to be busy like this. I swear if GenZ had to play the National Anthem, they'd ram beats all throughout it. Sometimes less is more. But not for these kids. That's why your shows are incredibly boring and stupid. No large and evolving marching forms. Park and blow. Battery just ramming.

Easy to play cleaner when you are playing a 3 times more simple book

i love bringing other people down over the internet! maybe instead of sitting alone in your basement being a keyboard warrior and dogging on people for not being perfect 100% of the time, you could instead applaud these people for the work they’ve put in! just a thought!

“this is just garbage” ☝️🤓

bro felt so tough after this one guys 😈

@@dylanwedderespectfully, no! these are the blue devils we’re talking about! this is the problem with society nowadays, people like you want participation trophies and handouts. “Just applaud them” - absolutely not. Not when the bar has been consistently raised over the years by not only them, but other corps as well. You can’t just field garbage and expect me or others to automatically give a round of applause for doing something difficult, but doing it really bad at the same time. That’s not drum corps. The standard is the standard, and I will not disrespect the activity by lowering my standards.
