My Dad was in 3 Regiments during his career. The Coldstream Guards, then the Gurgas (sic) Then the Royal Engineers. He served 3 years in Each. He was due to be stationed in Northern Ireland, but refused saying he felt something was about to happen, yet he was not yet in Ulster. So how did he know, awesome. August 31st 1969 it all started I was just5 months old.
I don't have a "Political Basis" Im drummer, ok, I am and this looks difficult when in actual fact it's not difficult to play. I've noticed that lots of these flute bands drum corp are terrible... You lads should stick to your triplets, paradiddiels, single/ double stroke rolls, 5/7 stroke rolls. flams, drags, radamacues, triple radamacues, ruffs, swim triplets, and so on... I would be 95% sure these young part time drummers wouldn't have a clue what I'm talking about. they're trying to sprint before they can even walk. Cheers, Rian G ..

@@kyler1487 Kyler, I’m from Belfast 🤙🏻 I’ve been to many parades from a young child, to leaving Belfast to go study at Berklee at 19 years old/ Bachelor of Music in Performance: Percussion, to then coming away with a PhD/ Doctor of Musical Arts in Percussion Performance… So I’m pretty well qualified to critique these lads. Keep practicing, kiddo..
I wish when I played a flute with another band I had of learned that combo. easier said than done and you Lads know it. But I award you from my point of view. The lad in Red a B, for the other lad A star, your out standing.
If you came here looking for good drummers look up Jim Kilpatrick, Simon Grant or the Top Secret Drum Corps. Not these guys that have clearly never heard of Redaments never mind know them.
It's dreadful mate, such sloppy playing.. slack triplets/ slack double stroke rolls terrible grip on the stick/ no finger control etc.../ I suppose the loyalist scene one day. a. week drummers think there's nothing like it... Ugh.. BTW I'm not a. catholic or protestant, I'm an ulster man..
