2012 Bluecoats Drumline Book

[@NextGenBallerz]

Quad line was so beast that year, then again the bluecoats tenors are always great

[@jddunklee]

the most _groovy. book. ever._

[@programmedwrong3795]

Their 2015 was better.

[@stevendinsmore-george8941]

Maybe so. But if you go back to 2010 they copied a whole lotta notes/elements from that show which is why I actually prefer that year to 2012. But hey, to each their own.

[@Explorednow]

Best drumline I have ever heard and I was on the drumline at USC..

[@Tortuga_312]

You've never looked into DCI?

[@TylerJHaley]

People wonder why i love this drumline. Then, I show them this video. love the Bluecoats!!!!!!!

[@mmcneels]

Thank you for the wonderful audio quality. Well done.

[@SALEENS7GTR5]

I'm so glad I have a sub-woofer in my room. Those bass-runs are just incredible.

[@statre7456]

I really love the fast pace camera. With the quick zoom and everything. Adds great effect.

[@ELDLtenors]

my favorite tenor line/book ever. good job guys

[@BlaineKleinMusic]

Dang! This drumline blends so well and the clarity is amazing. Everything is very crisp!

[@joeymartinez1453]

This editing is reaaaally cool. It feels really gonzo and super street (or I guess 'in the lot' since its drumline). This is kickass man, very creative. Well done

[@byKeeko]

how dynamically good they were and the cleanliness is what makes this sound amazing

[@pasta_heals]

I watched/listened to this with really expensive [borrowed] Bose headphones... it's so lifelike!

[@programmedwrong3795]

I got motion sickness from the camera operator.

[@infernal7777]

now THIS is a true drumline. Straight groovin' with just the right amount of complexity and flow

[@danielwdunn]

I love the tuning on those snares.

[@wkedmonds]

words cant describe my love for the Bluecoats drumline

[@AyubJamshaid]

I can't stop watching the beginning of this.. Those Quads

[@will3579]

my dude onye is kickin ass with this line. this is prob the best line ive ever seen in person

[@ddrum1090]

The dynamics in this are fantastic. Slowed down a little at times, but other than that pretty frickin amazing, especially their doubles

[@joshtolentino5863]

This is exactly why I love the Bluecoats

[@stixx1492]

lol vanguard got third, and their line was sick. But I marched on the quad line at coats. We got 2nd.

[@seanbowers1076]

Sooo... Many.... Grooves..... Bluecoats are ROCKIN'

[@CBALLZ666]

I love the tuning of all these drums. Whoo!!!!

[@azurezaber]

OMG the tuning is amazing. especially the snares

[@TheGhoogle]

This is the most perfect anything of everything

[@KenKenTheDrummer]

This should be a movie.

[@MJMenancio3]

3:24 holy shit base 1 did a full 360

[@ThinkingSmartMedia]

fab

[@ELDLtenors]

before the big tenor break huh? interesting add...

[@MoustacheCloud]

I love that meaty, resonant bass sound.

[@chutdiggadut1]

Great recording man. Sounds and looks great!

[@aviatr9542]

I just learned the 2nd movement mostly from this video - THANK YOU! Btw for those looking at the snare transcription of the 2nd movement on snarescience... it's like 80% correct. Check the lot videos for the right stickings because the transcription is reeeally dummed-down, haha.

[@divineconfetti649]

Never heard a buzz roll that clean with that many people.

[@zoomlensshow]

Legendary video

[@Rubyrudii]

I want our drumline at school to get those harnesses !

[@flabaman44]

you definitely dont..

[@Rubyrudii]

why not, Mr.Conlee?

[@flabaman44]

my school has 3 and they al have broken in completely different ways ie the back snaps the screw that holds the mount breaks the hinge nut gets rubbed down untill your harness isnt solid

[@Rubyrudii]

ok thanks!

[@iLAG_LikeABoss]

those bass drums sound amazing

[@TomAndJerry87]

The snare tech for my indoor line is the outside snare on the left. Taha's awesome!

[@HairySquatch]

3:00. love it when you're jammin and another band marches by. best feeling ever

[@Morrellst1]

SO CLEAN

[@soccerdrummer13]

We played hertas, paradiddlediddles, rolls, cha-chudas, cheese cha-chudas, inverts, flam taps, fast flam taps, singles! And it's always been my dream to be part of the Bluecoats. Unfortunately, I've never made it past the first round or got a call back yet. One more year to try though!

[@SuperSquatch1]

Those are just regular IP snare sticks (Probably Casellas) but they have these little Innovative Percussion mutes on the butt ends. I've seen them available on Musician's Friend before. It's just a little black rubbery kind of thing that's meant to put on snare sticks to make them into practice sticks. They just used them for a different timbre and put them on the butt ends so they could flip it back and forth between the muted sound and regular tip. Cool stuff.

[@afred88]

Amazing sound quality

[@mileschandler1536]

this book is insane

[@Tehdrumr4life14]

Lovin' the clear scoops

[@BennJamesK]

The bass drums are so frickin' cool.

[@pasta_heals]

Oh yes, I love it too. It's so cool.

[@Jaredplaysdrumz]

oh my god the rumble of the bass on good headphones/speakers.

[@napostrophen]

I LoVe this video, l. I've watched it about 20x

[@pasta_heals]

Great audio work.

[@methusulah]

Love the visuals

[@salarmander27]

flows so hard. i love it

[@NickzAndMikz]

Great production too

Awesome, I'll definetly learn this music!

[@countrifried]

From snare player to snare player.....THAT WAS GREAT!!!

[@DDrumber12]

rarick wrote my highschool's music this year, its pretty crazy

[@LoganLovell]

Are they saying "booty" at 1:47?

[@LoganLovell]

Lol thats awesome. No one in pur colorguard has a booty haha but thats definitely something like my drumoine would do

[@CaviesPWN]

i love the bluecoats, forever and always haha

[@ZackWatson]

Non, Il s'appelle TJ. Right end snare. You can find him in Mystiques vids this year too.

[@Veazeysbanjo]

my babies... have them all

[@haydenniehus6063]

Man there's crazy bass splits every 10 seconds

[@joeyllanos7573]

AWESOME!!!!

[@flabaman44]

Scoops, they take sound and project it forward and up to the box. Otherwise a lot of the snare sound is going to the ground, which is kind of like a horn angle facing straight down.

[@CorbinDoughty94]

I can't tell who's more badass: Center snare this year for coats, or center for Cavies in 2011..

[@mattmccune8815]

They Should of won drums this year. Hands Down

[@Splooie128]

I've played on a lot of lines. Everybody wants the fast rolls and the cheese inverts, but I'm here to tell you. :24 to :26 is the most impressive part of this video. Simple beats played cleanly beats all.

[@rikuantu]

It's how they stay in time.

[@zondurite]

sooooooo clean. holy shit.

[@Queeze101]

Tom Rarick, legendary

[@LimpTwizzler]

It's called 'dutting'; It's basically count out the rests, but saying numbers takes too much time for high tempo parts, so they 'dut'. it's only used in actual drum corp and DCI bands, you'd never see it on a drum set. But thanks for asking.

[@rickitickidicki]

I mo need ta go change my shotes nah! Whoever wrote these cadences: Genius. The percussionists performing: Virtuossos. If I've heard better I don't remember it! Well done Gents and (Ladies if you were there but I missed ya or you wrote the music).

[@countrifried]

No, drummers are a different breed of people and whatever they say seems to work for them. We do what we please as drummers.

[@Sweendawg2014]

snare science has a good transcription of the opener and drum break

[@CorbinDoughty94]

I think I'll have to agree with that.. Dan is a monster both in chops and physique

[@Splooie128]

Which is not to say that rest isn't great! It is!

[@KevinALIV]

i fucking love bluecoats

[@countrifried]

Bass line...play louder!!! I'm starving for it!

[@buncha1499]

That tenor line is full of really good looking people.

[@aoscout]

To the posts of ticks. Rockford. In July. Finals is August. That's still early season if you ask me.

[@pearlsnares3538]

well said my friend.

[@peppa2917]

clean asf

[@countrifried]

AMEN!!!

[@mantistoboggan2599]

lmao That's the greatest thing I've ever read in my life

[@KenKenTheDrummer]

Hey great video! Thanks for posting it! I was wondering what camera you used to film this? It's a great quality video. Thanks again! (:

[@bulletchoas]

Why does no one ever comment on how good the bass drums are in these videos?

[@Seoul_4est]

Oh my god.. That tuning..

[@ZackWatson]

Pssst.... Soccerdrummer13 was the end snare at Bluecoats in '12 and in the center 5 at Music City Mystique this season. He's trollin you hard bud.

[@soccerdrummer13]

The Chairmen, The Phantom Recliners, Carolina Cradles, The Ottoman Crusaders, Playstation Crest, The Cots...

[@spartey01]

Nice man, three snares that can play some flam fives. I'm so proud. When was the last time you marched coats?

[@Reedisyograndpappy]

@Luke A dude duts are what you use on field to make sure everyone attacks together. They use a met or drum major for tempo. If you aren't used to this idea I'm assuming that your drumline is AWEFUL. Besides, how do these clean beats not

[@justfellinchill]

couldnt agree more

[@soccerdrummer13]

Totally dude!!!

[@steph_lew]

Amen

[@aviatr9542]

If you think these guys aren't playing the fuck out these drums... you're wrong. So wrong it's hilarious. They easily were one of the best lines (if not THE best) in DCI this year, hands-down. Show some freaking respect.

[@rikuantu]

Look how early in the season it is..

[@awefi]

Not quite, but very close. It's not like a horn because a horn is a directional source of sound. Imagine a traffic cone or the actual horn itself. A drum is more of a spherical source of sound so it projects nearly equally in all directions. What the scoop allows is to take the sound that was intended for the ground and projects it forward. The snare isn't going to loose as much sound as the horn is due to the type of source it is. Minor detail. I study acoustics.... sorry.

[@spartey01]

Corps don't use Tama because they don't make equipment for the front ensemble. For example, lines that use pearl use adams marimbas or lines that use yamaha drums use yamaha front ensemble equipment. It's part of the contracts. Sooooo nobody in DCI uses Tama.

[@ryanbredeson]

Exactly.

[@thelegend879]

If you dont already know. Bluecoats got 2nd overall percussion.... so how do they suck

[@romiarliansyahputra]

Nice Drum Line

[@shadofreally]

nice quality

[@drumsandknex321]

their drumline instructor is on the Tama Marching Percussion videos.. why do they have yamaha then?
