Ladies and Gentleman this not the Cadets nor the Blue Devils Drumline!!! No this is something on another level.... This... Is... Vangaurd!!! Way to get that high percussion!!! :)

[@h2ikaz]

These guys were dope as balls, but I wouldn't call a tenth (.15?) "another level." either. They were awesome this year, but it was close. Just as it is every year. All the top 12 lines were ballin this year

[@h2ikaz]

ThatWasSexyPit ;)

[@mobiusnare]

Wow... just realized that at 7:10, he wrote a little nod to Gusseck's 2004 drum break. So epic!

[@MoustacheCloud]

I have finally heard Paul Rennick's voice.

[@BrianHaag]

The total package: clean, funky, difficult, musical, tasty. One of the best lines I've heard in a long time.

[@OndrausCissell]

Fred Sanford award winners!!!! They were on fire finals night also!

[@BrianHaag]

This tenor section is out of control.

[@zharston]

There's something about trees that makes the acoustics of drums sound REALLY good.

[@ThatWasLoud]

That'sAStretch

[@zharston]

ThatWasSexyPit Okay, okay... maybe it's your nice equipment :) But seriously, go play under a tree and tell me that all the leaves don't make for a seriously cool echo.

[@chrislugo5838]

Great job! These guys r amazingly solid

[@funkywhite]

The snare drummer (2nd from left) holds his left hand stick different / more angled on top of the drumhead than the other snare players. Looks odd / not natural. Maybe it's the camera angle?

[@jadenmccallum17]

I was thinking that too, I could only assume he's new to the line and still, for whatever reason, is used to a different grip. Maybe his prior line marched tilted drums. I'd think that a tech would've jumped on that for sure, but it doesn't matter I guess since they won percussion.

[@theodorosellinas8071]

maybe he /she is declaring individuality

[@jadenmccallum17]

He didn't have the problem early in the season though, so I'm wondering if something happened like a sprain or any kind of injury.

[@cameronlee309]

I don't understand how he's able to have his left hand that high and still produce the same sound.

[@funkywhite]

Yeah, it's interesting that his hand is different and yet, other than the visual, there is no difference in the amazing playing!

[@brown55061]

Is it me or does the snare feature really resemble the features from 97 and 98? Same writer maybe? Either way this is probably one of the cleanest drum lines I've ever heard. You'd have to nit pick to pull out ticks in there. Kudos SCV, brilliant writing and playing. Hope you medal next year.

[@steph_lew]

I love this.

[@joeyllanos7573]

MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!

[@503music6]

The X on the tree

[@MoustacheCloud]

scv is always cool

[@cope397]

wasnt the snare 2 to the right from the camera's view on the UNT Tenor line in 2013?

[@JonMaynard]

no

[@AznAfroMan513]

someone care to explain the visual at 3:14?

[@davegaryusa]

[@aaronwhodrums5438]

If you ever know someone/are someone who struggles with the notion of "playing through the drum" Reference this video

[@ThatWasLoud]

I'll play through your drum

[@junethanoschurchill6750]

that's actually funny, cause Rennick doesn't tell you to play through the drum

[@gainreduction1]

clean beetz!

[@gainreduction1]

in fatty 4K. Thanks, man!!

[@ThatWasLoud]

Steve Johnson Thanks for watching!

[@jwillis9499]

Ridic.

[@agogobell28]

I have a hard time believing that no female battery players were good enough to make this line...

[@agogobell28]

It depends on what you're looking at.

[@dylannowakowski8851]

The lack of female battery players is not proof of sexism, and I would say they are obviously quite good.

[@agogobell28]

I have no doubt that they are all quite good. However, a subtly sexist mentality may be the underlying cause of the complete and utter lack of female representation in these battery lines. There are many, many excellent female percussionists out there who audition for these lines. What's funny is that in the pit, there is generally a 50/50 split between men and women. Maybe it's just that the battery is perceived as a "manlier" sort of thing to do, so the caption heads/techs subconsciously pass the females over for setting the line and shift them to the pit instead.

[@agogobell28]

What might also contribute to the dearth of female battery players is that many more men than women tend to try out for these lines in the first place, again because of the perception that the battery is a more masculine area of the corps. The same sort of thinking contributes to the low proportion of female contra/tuba players, though not nearly to the same degree as the battery. Of course, the Cavies and Madison are excepted from this, because they are and will always be (as far as I can see) all-male.

[@QuadDrums]

agogobell28 Or maybe because of sexual dimorphism they are not as likely to be interested? Most likely the case is that women are more attracted to pitched instruments (Of course there is no evidence for such a claim, only correlation). And also have you thought of the fact that drums are heavy? Dynasty drums weigh so much! At the Vanguard Cadets camp I put on those dynasty tenors and died a little bit on the inside because I wasn't used to them, and i'm pretty stocky.
