my schools marching percussion equipment is all over 20 years old luckily we were able to get new marching snares, quads and bass drums

That is a pretty decent middle school line, I’m a freshman in high school, and just started drum-line. But I do have to say if we had a middle school line are high school would sound so much better very good job to that line.

pretty good

They look 16

I wish my school cared this much about percussion lol

this makes me feel proud to be on my schools drum line lol

There are six people in 8th grade percussion

Wheres the traditional grip

Dang they have chops and my eighth grade line can’t even chop with a double stroke

Tell if im crazy but bass drum is very underrated in DCI

My middle school can barely get their 8th notes

lmao they played this while the bands were setting up for Arcadia, not going to lie, a little intimidating

Matched???

My drumline is tiny. We have 2 snares, 1 tenor, 3 basses, and maybe (just maybe) 2 cymbals

I'm in Middle School. I'm doing traditional AND High School music. Some of the music they actually play in the high school is quite easy cause of all the music I have learned.

teach the snares traditional grip yall

Smashing!!

TRADITIONAL ON A SNARE!!! I DONT CARE YOU MIDDLE SCHOOL! Nobody marches snare match grip

not my type of band style but I like it

Also marching snares ALWAYS play traditional unless you do that thing where yo play on you neighbors drums with BOTH hands. It doesn't matter if 5 years old or in dci. If you're not allowed to be playing traditional on snare then you shouldn't be playing snare at all. Do it right or don't do it at all.

They need to ditch bass 5 and put him on snare instead, or get another snare player and get tenors that have a spok. They proper thing is to have twice as many snares as you do tenors and as many bass drums as there are toms on the tenors. So if there is 3 tenors with only 4 drums then there should be 4 basses and 6 snares. If there are 5 basses then the tenors should be quads with 1 spok.

My high school is made of money but not enough for more drums than this

That 3rd bass stick height makes me cringe

Jesus all of these people hating on match grip...

This is not a cadence, this a Vic firth warm-up 😭

why no traditional ?

That was actually pretty clean

LIT

Honestly the harnesses are way to big and not stealthy especially on the snares.

These guys just do the same cadence EVERY SINGLE YEAR but with legit a slight change

the have plenty on the bassline but those carriers are old and ragly and still look better then those

Better than my highschool 😂😂😂

grips and form were getting on my nerves. uniform as well, but this wasn't a competition, so it wasn't that big of a deal. basses were on feel though

hey just remember there 8th graders and some high schoolers cant play like these kids......

My School Band did this Kind in A Pype Rally

the white socks though

And I thought I was ugly...eesh

1:42 That was so weak and simple

Sounds like a warm-up without cymbals

Cymbals may seem unimportant but this cadence shows you how much cymbals are needed.

Matched grip really?

It took me like most of the video to realize there was only 1 boy in the snareline

they are not using fingers at all

I've met the guy on bass 4, cool dude

This is amazing! Especially for only being an 8th grade drumline! They sound and look better than some high school drumlines!

Bass line is lit🔥🔥 besides them not playing in the center of the drum. Why is the Asian dude on the right smiling he has 3 girls better than him in the snareline(not trying to offend anyone) And it looks like they are mostly all new Yamaha drums so why the covers? And Traditional grip would look so sick and would add more professionalism. But before that make the snareline cleaner. Sorry for the rant...

The comments: a lot of people judging eighth graders have not really every played in a drumline

Really...matched grip?

they did great if i had to rank them on a scale of 1-10 10 being the best. i'd rank them a 100,00,000,000
