2012 SCV Percussion Standstill

[@24DaniS24]

Legendary.

[@j.franknash8989]

11 years ago and I still can't get enough of this show

[@24DaniS24]

Best percussive (marching) performance I have ever seen in my life. The composition is immaculate. The flow, vibrancy, creativity, expression, and dynamic of this all together is exquisitely definitively impossibly spectacular.

[@24DaniS24]

So basically perfection?

[@RennickDrums]

The recordings are put up for you to make your own decision. The score for any show is really the decision of one person, and often times the judges don't agree with each other. When there are swings of 3-5 placements between nights, perhaps averaging is the way to go? Maybe not?

[@RennickDrums]

Those instruments are called Aluphones. They come in various ranges, and can be made to orderf. The biggest one is over two chromatic octaves. The have a website, just google aluphone.

[@AirsoftWorld10]

Jesus Christ that snare line is so damn clean.

[@freemason3]

Honestly, Paul, after watching this, I just want to say that I think it is absolutely amazing how, after teaching two of the most come pristine lines of the past few years in Phantom and SCV, that you are able to continue the traditions these drum lines are known for. Oftentimes new instructors come along and almost reinvent the wheel, but you do a great job of tailoring your methods to the already established traditions and roles that these lines already fill in their respective corps. Thanks!

[@WilliamRiddell1983]

The snare line that refused to tick, all summer.

[@DAnelson95]

Beautiful composition, gotta love rennick. had the pleasure of playing an scvc show at my school, loved the book.

[@ejm95]

This is why I'm gonna audition for SCV. The book always had some sort of melodic content. Rennick's writing is always like that. It seems so fun. Well done, Paul, and also, loving the book for Les Miserables. Take high drums, yeah?!

[@ethanpierce324]

Did you ever audition ?

[@danielgoldberg476]

Yeah did you ever?

[@ejm95]

@@danielgoldberg476 LOL nope. I ended up marching Colts 17. *sigh* the ambitions as a High School kid, eh?

[@AllStater09]

Amazing how uniform SVC drumline is! I feel like I'm watching doubled videos of the performers! Each performer has same heights, moves! Great quality in sound!

[@RennickDrums]

OK, just to be clear, the scores for the drum trophy are an average of the three nights. This was changed years ago, by the voting instructors at the time. The intent was to limit the ability of one rogue judge to have too much influence. Since all the scores are averaged to see who wins, the result included a three way tie for second place. It is possible, and actually has happened, for a group to not win finals night and win the drum trophy.

[@RennickDrums]

Remo -Renaissance on quads, BlackMax snare top, Falam II snare bottom, PowerMax on bass drums

[@Fobo911]

YES!

[@bucephalusmacelroy4666]

How about that cymbal line :)

[@paulrennick995]

Thanks, much appreciated!

[@kjvlogs5421]

That bass tuning omg love it

[@grantoldblueeagle]

Still the epitome of a drum corps drum line all one has to do is listen and find out .well done to all the players and of course mr Rennick for making this art form to the top of the tree

[@klmsdrummer]

Thanks for clearing that up. I never would've guessed. I just assumed that If I wanted to know what the drum scores were for the 2012 season, I would just have to look at the Finals recap on the Dci website.

[@Mudfoot13]

Paul Rennick you are a Genius! I've been watching drumcorps for over 20 years, and I've even marched two years in the nineties. I have almost 3 years of music school under my belt, I teach privately and I've been teaching high school drumlines since 1993, and I currently been certified for NJA...I study and constantly listen to older and current drumcorps shows, I go to sleep to drumcorps still...I've been influenced by Hardimon, Hanumm, Aungst, Mcnutt, but since 2013 Paul Rennick. After doing more research about you, I always knew it was something about 1991 blue devils drumbook, "Conversations in Jazz", as a matter of fact it's one of my favorite drumcorps shows musically; come to find out, you wrote the drumbook, (just found that out literally 3 days ago.) My dream is to write for Drum Corps., maybe WGI. I guess my whole point is, you put a smile on my face, your writing inspires me and it reminds me of how I think. None of those cats including Scott Johnson will ever be able to do what you do, not to say that there styles aren't superior. It's all about how people hear music, and....I'd just love to meet you

[@RennickDrums]

mud foot Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated! And thanks for the passion. Keep that fire burning, I'm sure your students thrive off it.

[@blockobutter]

Holst for life.

[@HerbertCruz27]

I love the writing! Inspiration to my beats the I create for my school!

[@LGM1194]

Pure amazing #cleanBeatzzz

[@flabaman44]

ok, did you read my previous comments? the score for the TROPHY is an average for three performances (quarters, semis and finals) read rennicks comment on how they tied. the average score tied for second, the finals score was 4th

[@DieNaSty4me]

guudness! thems thurr r sum BEATS!!!!!!

[@RennickDrums]

The smaller sticks were IP-1 or the Chad Wackerman model. We switched halfway through the season, so it's hard to remember.

[@5drum5]

Outstanding drumming guys and gals!

[@TexSnare0702]

Finally!

[@alexbraud6358]

Sweet! I'm teaching my first line this summer and they asked me about which heads to buy.

[@dansullivanstudios]

Anyone who's super nerdy and as interested as I am know what the majority of the mallets are in the front ensemble? I see a lot of Tom Raricks for the marimbas. And vibes have some Anconas (unless they're Rennick's. can't completely tell). And I think I see Anconas for the Marimbas too?

[@flabaman44]

no they got second dude

[@TravisCyprien]

Damn Why can other Drum Corps do this Full Videos. You don't see this everyday

[@atomikfzr1]

9:36 cleanest lick in DCI all year

[@jsk8drummer]

Well said dude

[@kuenzign]

Can someone tell me what those cone shaped instruments are that are mounted to the marimbas and vibes?

[@zharston]

Low?

[@alexbraud6358]

Anybody know what heads are on the quads? They look like Suedes but I could be wrong.

[@IComeback1d24I]

Cross gripe with vibes, thats awesome! that's the grip I play vibes with! :D Overall very good section, solid everything

[@flabaman44]

tied with bloo and cadets finals night, but the high percussion award is overall average IIRC

[@megatc25]

Freaking beats!!!!!

[@JeremyStaceyMusic]

What are those metal bells called that the pit has?

[@1sikpup]

Very nice! Well done! God I miss drumcorp! I'm so sick if the blue devils with their random music showed that don't make sense! This is what a show should be!

[@evanleima4191]

Technically I guess, haha. Sandi Rennick writes the front ensemble music.

[@TheMrGhostlore]

You Are Wrong. Go to dci's website and score. You will see they were 4th in Drums. With a 19.10 out of 20.

[@klmsdrummer]

Aluphone

[@FloridaboyGaming]

9:37 that snare roll tho. Omg. Makes me feel like crap for not being that clean

[@ejm95]

And I can't tell at 9:36 the measure after the eight note diddles, are those fivelets or something else?

[@alexbraud6358]

Also- what snare sticks are being used in the softer split section right before the "Mars" intro?

[@bhamhamham]

3:26 - YEAH PLATES!

[@Mrlagalot1]

I've always heard minor thirds.

[@matthewlewis8292]

Timpani yeah,

[@alexbraud6358]

Do you have any tips for quad tuning? Intervals/chords?

[@Mudfoot13]

Your (Paul Rennick) also are very clever when it comes to tuning!!! your the man...And blessed to have a wife as an front ensemble composer, your tonal drums actually sound like a choir...

[@Mudfoot13]

mud foot and Jim Cassella (my influences)

[@klmsdrummer]

Look at the scores dude. They got 4th in drums. They didn't tie.

[@steph_lew]

Maybe they just had a bad run at finals to had score low.

[@Mrlagalot1]

No, they got 4th in drums dude. 5th overall.
