Just wanna say wassup to people watching this video in 10 years because it's gonna be a classic

[@benjermaneee]

Being at this lot was honestly different from anything I’ve heard live. These guys are no joke ans possibly the best drumline I’ve ever seen

[@greggchaffin1596]

This is THE best line I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot! I'm putting this above PR 06' 07' type ish

[@ethans-d6105]

ok king

[@insanewarrior467]

Nah man you guys aint heard or seen SCV drumline from like 2017

[@gameronaldoWORLDWIDE]

@@insanewarrior467 SCV 2017 was definitely killer but BAC this year is definitely up there in demand

[@insanewarrior467]

@@gameronaldoWORLDWIDE you’re right they are up there in demand but bcs of cleanliness, accuracy, and the musuc that had been written for the drumline SCV 2017 will always have a special place in my heart

[@stumanion3213]

BEST line this year! They should be winning-hopefuly the judges pull their heads out!

[@pmillergroove1]

The last time I heard such an aggressive book written by McNutt was when he was with the Cadets in 2013, I believe. That was a Sanford year. This group has ALL the earmarks…💯

[@metroknowm]

it does.

[@asherbank1941]

this aged poorly and i really wish it hadn't

[@cullenmitvalsky1516]

Best battery this year and it’s not even close.

[@Ridebmx34521]

Preach.

[@traviss7740]

Probably the best bass 1 & 2 combo I've ever heard. The whole line is stellar, but those two are SOLID.

[@Donnie4501]

How is this not the best drum line ever? I could list so many reasons why they are. Still some time left too. This is insane.

[@decoduck]

Thank you for giving us all so much access to this line. I especially enjoyed the rbass/george collins footage of the rehearsals with the tech's feedback.

[@NothingQuiteAsFly]

Gotta love the quads going old school with mallets for Red's. These cats are scary good.

[@benjaminkenobi21]

For real

[@RHG_Drums]

They just keep getting better

[@prestonjones20013]

Switching over to Pearls did a lot for this lines sound. They’ve had great players for a few years now, but now they’re playing on the best sounding drums and you can hear the difference

[@nathanstein7327]

This whole line and their book is a straight flex. 🤘

[@JackSmithDrums]

Man these guys are absolutely crazy this year

[@paigelivesay2977]

Saw these guys (and gal, big shoutout to her she’s great), live last night. What are they feeding them?? They were breathtakingly and so unbelievably good. I legit wanted to scream i was so hype but y’all were in the zone and i didn’t wanna distract LOL

[@tomhurstdrums]

This is truly a line for the ages. We’ll forever more refer BAC 22’ in the same breath with Star 93’. The members, Colin and staff: Take a bow. I could care less about the placement absolutely NEXT LEVEL champs in my book. Colin has been doing this since his Glassmen days. Nice to see him getting the respect he so richly deserves (as well as the BAC member and team of course). Particularly excited for our ♾️ members in the program this year. 😁❤️🎵

[@stevenaleman7454]

Hoping to see the Boston Crusaders win their 1st DCI Championship Title tomorrow night!!! Their drumline is top notch and the best of the best this season....McNutt is a genius writer...and these drummers are making this stuff seem effortless....squeaky clean like a giant bottle of Windex on a car's windshield💯💥✌💪🥇🥁....

[@MarchingVlogs]

If you guys put "0:00 Timestamps" in the description, it will put the times in the timeline for you. Great Video

[@Luke_Cullen]

Ever since they swapped to pearl, snares actually have a snare response (unlike 2019) by far the best sounding drumline in a long time🤝

[@fourierxfm]

The perfectly executed split-snare roll at 17:56 is exquisite and I've watched it about 20 times by now. 😂

[@metroknowm]

many of the snare shots during the show parts were ... maybe the cleanest rim shots i've ever heard in a battery. they're on a whole other level of precision and control overall. magic is being made before our eyes. it's that palpable synergy that everyone can feel. also MCNUTT - g r e a t audio recording. super accurate capture of frequency response and dynamics.

[@jmarchese1149]

absolutely LOCKED IN!!! I didn't hear a single fuzzy diddle the whole warmup....

[@metroknowm]

duzzy fiddle

[@jmarchese1149]

absolutely NO line comes close and I can't be convinced otherwise

[@jimmybx0072]

This book is Tasty AF, and played extremely well!! Nice job!!

[@erwinvangemert6430]

Eat 'em up Boston!!!! True Giants! 💪🏼

[@henrylong4007]

17:25 "Absolutely!" 🤧Too clean to believe.

[@tomkaufman3914]

Very clean dynamic hard style snareline.

[@benjaminkenobi21]

Best Ive seen in my recent memory

[@Rainbow_1312]

just raised the bar on the entire art form

[@griesrt]

The best drum line I've seen. Like them better than Mc nutt 03', Cavs 2001, Vanguard 2003. I Marched 05 and 06 and really cool to see how high level things have gotten

[@kevinfitzsimmons1258]

if the media guys are reading this we LOVE the frame rate.

[@thomaslyles325]

Omg that was te cleanest roll I’ve ever heard

[@bledsoee_]

17:41 “WHAT” literally my reaction

[@KnuSkoolDrummer]

The best this season...hands down. Hopefully they don't get robbed.

[@tobygames1267]

fire

[@nxgmoney173]

Driving to akron in the morning to see you all finally! Doubt anyone will end up seeing this, but what time will you all arrive in the area?

[@yoshuin26]

UHHHHGGGHHHHHHHH😫🥁

[@haloslippin6894]

This is cleaner than bleach.

[@cwk1417]

DAMN they put that stank on Spanks!

[@kalynbaur]

Jeeeeeeeeez.

[@weaponson3-158]

So how is blue Devils scoring higher than Boston? With Flam taps and double stops? Over this?

[@sphere7633]

Insane

[@psalm14christmasmeaning45]

Hey future self, this was a great and meme drumline like smegmosisjones5645

ABSOLUTELY 🤣🤣🤣🤣 17:24

As my old drum instructor would say, “smúth”

[@Kelly-x5m9u]

tishhhh sniff

[@jmarchese1149]

6:58 the joker makes an appearance

[@alzam81]

Great drumline but the book is either them playing or horns playing. Very little ensemble… they’re so good I want to hear them more throughout the show!! When they are playing with horns they’re in the back and their greatness is barely audible. No doubt tho, a great drumline.

[@richbrass12]

snare section leader looks so uneffected.

[@ArthurSchopenhauer1]

The short dude splitting center literally looks down the entire time. WEAK

[@nathanpope5775]

That Spock roll keeps getting cleaner 😮‍💨

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

Until I saw this video I would have said SCV will take the Sanford once again no problem, but after watching the show music segment I can't say that anymore. What a line and what control. Seems like all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed. Haven't watched this with the pit and that seems to be the strength of SCV every year-battery AND pit due to the Rennicks working so closely together. This will be interesting for sure.

[@rifle2563]

From a vocabularly standpoint this group is unreal, not many groups ever have had such difficult material and played it so well. Pit definitely seemed to be part of the issue for the sanford

[@gameronaldoWORLDWIDE]

Legendary Line , Legendary Book , Legendary Year ‼‼

[@robertfollett6084]

Legendary drum corps and this probably the best in a long list of drumlines in the history of the most influential corps in this history. This was the first corps to use a electronic keyboard in 1985, first to use timpani, and mallet keyboard 1968 and 1969. We alumni are very much proud of our young people who now wear the uniform 😀👍.eatem

[@robertfollett6084]

Eat em up Boston crusaders

[@tredaviousbowser7931]

If only y’all had horn line vids this long 😭

[@bostoncrusaders]

Stay tuned!

[@davidburks1003]

These jokers are straight commanding the music. The way in which they seem to play with ease and absolute domination.

[@iceborg05]

As a horn player who knows only a small amount about percussion in general. You can just tell this is quality

[@asdf072xxp]

Up there with the best this year, but the bass drum line is a standout. Hands down, the best out there.

They are ramming some clean licks that is sure.

Anyone got the sheets for spanks?
