2012 Music City Mystique- MCM Full Run Prelims Lot

You won't find a closer view than this. I'm right in front of the battery and behind the front ensemble. Enjoy!!

[@Inspadave]

One thing about MCM is that their members always buy in to the show concept. They live it, and not just perform.

[@CBW_MT]

mcm is the kinda group where you do the physical appearance requirements or youre out of the group, like how for 2017 they had to shave their head

[@CBW_MT]

-_- i wonder why acceptions were made for them

[@tnorri25]

Can confirm that this is still fire 10yrs later

[@bluestars2013]

love how drew guy put all his past medals on his drum

[@fallenskates1]

i love the energy that this has it just makes me wanna get better and become part of a line like this

[@michaelrobertsonjr.2628]

this is my favorite McM show.

[@jambey9792]

When something is perfect you get lost in the clean beautiful notes… Those ping shots,roles,balance music Technicality… Overall pure amazing!!

[@luxypenguin]

still my favorite lot video. ever.

[@jamescorley9768]

That is THE BEST thing about MCM. Long live the dream ❤️❤️

[@haydennothacker7318]

Notes so tasty and low, great year for wgi

[@MontyVapes]

if you are ever having a bad day, just watch this

[@bebopsenju]

I love these snares and their vibe!

[@JustinGreenstein]

I can never get enough Mikey McDeee!

[@rockthetenors]

insane control on the low end.

[@soccerdrummer13]

So much focus. Passion.

[@chrispuckett5622]

Last year MCM had Tom Brady and Tom Cruise on snare. This year, Brady aged out, and Christian Bale and Gerald from Hey Arnold are on quads.

[@gentrywalker]

In the very first frame of the vid you can see air holes on the two snares in-frame. I think these drums might be the 13" model which can be tuned much higher compared to the 14".

[@jesusjuice9]

that shot at 4:21 is perfect

[@birdmanjake]

It's cool to watch this video and see two of my instructors playing, because it makes me want to be better and join this fantasti(que)c group.

[@aarong7090]

Dead ass started heavy metal headbopping at 6:35 , that breakdown is YES.

[@Noodlestien76]

That height control doe.....especially on the low end.

[@drumcorps0junkie]

AWESOME SHOW GUYS

[@seanbowers1076]

Is that the 'Coats shield on that one guy's headband? haha

[@rikuantu]

Well Coats, center tenor is Phantom. Bass 2 i believe is Coats. Don't see anymore, oh closes end snare is on Coats 12 and i think the other end snare is on coats 12 too.

[@iOpacity]

That tenor break @ 5:34 up until 5:50 when the rest of em come in. That was too legit.

[@LukeZuniga]

Is this New Age Totem?

[@connorkmoran]

its just because the covers they have on the outside of the shells cover all the air holes on some of the drums making them sound that way

[@Fox6sports1]

Drew guys is wearing a bluecoats bandana. Fuck yes.

[@ericpujari]

His drum has his WGI medals on it too

[@soccerdrummer13]

Yeah, haha. I wonder how pearl made the marble rims, or the wood looking rims and stuff. And that one who drum that looks like a marbley scarf or something. That's absolutely crazy.

[@will3579]

ive never really liked mcm but that was cool as hell. i would have loved to see this show in person.

[@Sean_McNulty]

best ping shot ever @4:21

[@rikuantu]

Indeed he is. :) along with his silver pennies and one nickle.

[@rikuantu]

Wow i'm not the only one who knows how to use only thumb technique (left hand) on para-diddles. Watch the center three snares. I'm amazed. I know it's seems i'm talking crazy but i'm not. You can indeed pulse and control para-diddles at fast tempos while only using thumb.

[@littledrummerdude27]

im pretty sure they are all black shells just with a bunch of random stuff hung, taped, painted(or whatever) on them. you can tell on the tenors and basses so i am assuming that the snares are the same way

[@curtisjordan7081]

those godamn faces always get me

[@malcolmsanger]

If I marched that year I'd totally buy one of those drums, especially if it was an ageout haha

[@NateJordan2012]

LUKE you look so badass drumming

[@danielwarren3287]

Preform the hell out of this

[@beastdrummer555]

Met him at a band competition in Atlanta... Cool guy.... really tall haha

[@soccerdrummer13]

Me too, it'd be so sick to drum on those things! haha

[@DanteLuvBD]

they guy with a violet snare has a very good left hand technique :)

[@snareplayr23]

the shot at 4:21 is so together it's ridiculous.

[@geraldA1sauce]

Yes.

[@soccerdrummer13]

Oh yeah, you're right.

[@Fox6sports1]

and he's got the coins they get on there too!!

[@shutthehellup6666]

i think they get random colors and get to wear whatever and decorate however they want

[@thealmightydollar5]

I wonder what finish their drums were when they got them.

[@OschnerEngineering]

if 0:00 to 0:39 could be a video ringtone it would make millions of dollars.

[@Kurses95]

Center snare looks a lot like the center snare from bluecoats 2009. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@Judo_Knows]

Those shots are pingy as hell!!!

[@LiamFlahertyCounterpoint]

doesnt mcm stand for man candy monday?

[@shutthehellup6666]

if not random colors the tour fee was probably a lot higher

[@Fox6sports1]

did they all get custom drums and harnesses?

[@micah_drums]

Are those 14" snares, or 13"?

[@gusbus2k138]

13inch

[@rikuantu]

Because notice he isn't wearing his other necklace.

[@gentrywalker]

Those snares are tuned so high lol.

[@EZcompanyL4]

That tenor is going to march in sandals.

[@rikuantu]

On his head band are his coins he got from all 6 years of being a bluecoat.

[@soccerdrummer13]

Yeah man, I'm such an idiot. There's no way those are possibly black on the inside. Haha, my bad dude.

[@JDrummer403]

@thomas Moreno innovative percussion fs Shane gwaltney

[@Hawaianboy808]

Wow serious case of pad hands

[@masterdrummer19]

they're also 13" drums instead of 14" like everybody else uses

[@zRhid]

he's so awesome lol

[@kylechappell1767]

Anyone know exactly how many different corps are represented here? Or at least have a good idea.

[@jamescorley9768]

A lot. Lol

[@EvanFMusic]

not sure if color guard or drumline

[@webb428]

pause at 0:08. two epic faces.

[@soccerdrummer13]

Hey Pearl, can I get 9 black snare drums with carriers too?

[@HalosRibbon]

front ensemble

[@eddyroof6627]

Drew Guy = Monster

[@Bzong]

a lot of the WGI members march DCI

[@coolcooja]

they get to wear the shoes of their choice too?

[@keegan.watts1]

T U N I N G

[@PewPewPistols]

MCM!

[@ROB2AM]

The hippy drummers

[@blueturtleteo65]

who won that year

[@timn690]

+BlueTurtle teo RCC

[@zRhid]

Oh duh I knew that. Thanks señor sarcasm.

[@rikuantu]

Uhmmm no, without duts batterys would fuck up a lot. Not everyone can count 4/4 at fast tempos so the fastest counter duts and this case it's drew but eventaully everyone starts catching on.

[@tannerpanthers1]

I think Drew was into it dont ya think?

[@zRhid]

is drew wearing a coats symbol on his forehead?

[@SarahMottram]

5:50

[@MrRapdragon]

anyone else see the tenor get lost?

[@MeatXLoverX69X]

Duhhhhh thumbs are do important

[@rikuantu]

No his coins are on his head band.

[@fisherreese9770]

What the actual fuck

[@bmrdrummer97]

all three elements of this line not counting cymbals because rcc doesn't have them are better than rcc and so is the pit and visual in don't see how rcc won anytinhg

[@malcolmsanger]

I didn't mean to sound like an ass but there wasn't any other way to put it haha

[@soccerdrummer13]

black

[@citywolf4]

what the fuck did i just watch

[@BaKeN1017]

You obviously don't know MCM...

[@malcolmsanger]

Quads are defs all black with just random shit on it though hahah

[@zRhid]

what?

[@bass6bitch]

This book is ridiculously easy compared to what they normally play. Good job of hyping the notes though.

[@DreamEpiarch]

so much gay

[@Creass]

I appreciate their chops, but not a fan of the costumes or attitude. Only one of the players really looks the part. The others look a little silly.

[@ChristopherT1]

Why do guys dut through 4 measures of rests when other people are trying to make good music? Don't you need just 2 duts on just about anything at your level?
