GLORIOUS! Beautiful! Is it possible to fall in love with an entire drumline? (lol) They are fantastic! Better than Swiss chocolates! and more PRECISE than a Swiss watch! God bless their souls! It's amazing the things humans can do! I'm awestruck. -- The video and audio is perfect on this! Thank you!
I always crack a woody when I watch this again. Unmatched and so very brilliant. This is just fantastic to watch and, for those who claim it's dirty, remove the wax built up inside your headset - it's ruining your experience.
i love it very much cause i'm a drummer and i LOVE top secret. their performances are great, delicious for eye and a drummer heart. thank you top secret
My beau went to see the Military Tattoo several years ago, all he remembers is the "Swiss drummers" because they were the best then and seem to be the best now. I can see why - very awesome experience; I hope to go someday. (PS. I'm American and we aren't the best at everything. Case in point.)
absolute drum insanity! I´ve seen many things in my 27 years, but that...BLASTS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Echt super! Danke, meine Freunde aus der Schweiz! Ein Österreicher
This is gorgeous! This just makes me so happy to be a person in this world. I may not be Swiss, but I'm human, and I can say that my species is frickin' AWESOME!
I read an interview with the guy who started this group. He said the name is just something he thought of one day. It has no other meaning. The interesting thing is a well known U.S. drummer has taught this band some of their stuff. His name is John Bosworth. I've seen his corps play and they are phenomenal.
You dropped a drumstick at 2:43. Look closely, bottom right. The best one i've seen was their 2009 performance at The Edinburgh Tattoo. They set their drumsticks ON FIRE!! Totally awesome guys. Wish I was that good.
I agree - there is no way that any person that hasn't trained for an incredible amount of time would be capable of such amazing snare work and timing - not to mention remembering the entire routine right down to the individual beat.
I've seen these guys live when I was working at the edinburgh tattoo back in 2003, needless to say I made it a point of watching them every single time they performed. I still have one of the drummers drumsticks... ( thanks Thieses :D yes I still have them sticks ) :D one thing that did spoil it for me on youtube though was the commentator. but damn this brings back memories. I WILL be going back to the tattoo in 2007 :)
i play snare drum and a lot of snare drums are tuned high personally for me in high school because it's all on the taste and personally we feel better as a snareline being able to play as perfectly as possible with a harder circumstance and feel the drum sound more of a tat and and is louder over the band to be able to lead the band in what needs to be accomplished like in the original military.
wow i wish i could do that, or be in a team like that. theres no room for the individuals in this kind of thing. all the music blends nicely into one. thats the good thing about orchestras...
I'm an American and even I know that the techniques used by every collegiate drumline comes from the Swiss drummers. We add our own pop twist and try to make it more entertaining. But technically nobody holds a candle to these guys.
