Santa Clara Vanguard- Hacking and Flash Gordon Henderson

Santa Clara Vanguard hacking and playing Flash Gordon Henderson in the lot at Allentown, PA.
8/1/09

[@JuanRamirez-gw7qp]

This line did a lot of things before they were cool, definitely ahead of their time.

[@Primo555]

I say this constantly. Thank you for commenting this 🎯

[@EliteOfTheRad]

i love the signal that the center snare gives to indicate when to begin. i used to play in an ewe drum ensemble, and it reminds me of the signals the master drummer would give to begin a new sequence or song

[@henne2k]

Back when SCV used to groove like Bloooo is now...

[@fashwang99]

The line scv had this year has to be the most intimidating line I have ever seen. Probably my favorite, too. 2:27-2-31 gives me nightmares its so scary.

[@drksdofthmoon]

It's like the beginning of an orchestra concert where all the string instruments just play to tune up.

[@TheSpaceInvaderer]

The most amazing desplay of hand independence ive ever seen. Theres no way i could play this. it just too weird. but somehow it has a groove to it at the same time.

[@drksdofthmoon]

Somebody has to do a vine video about this beginning "Best drumline ever"

[@melheislerdrums]

This is what it sounds like when my line plays triplet grid!

[@blsmith3623]

Definitely the best vanguard line in a while.

[@RishiJalukar]

One of my favorite DCI videos

[@PhantomDrums917]

Organized chaos...I love it!!!! Somehow there is a pulse in there...just amazing how it all comes together!!!

[@wweman1092]

for all of you who are wonderning the tick off for Flash Gordon Henderson is around the 2:24 and 2:25 range

[@iGuitarified]

I love how he taps off for everbody to hack

[@jey12345]

KAT KAT

[@Luke_Cullen]

Why are they’re tenors so damn high up on the stand lol

[@subbot8077]

lol they used to march all of the drums at the same height for visual appeal

[@drksdofthmoon]

20 years ago...this was absolutely illegal to do in the lot on show day!

[@proman2world]

WTF!! how can there even be music for this???

[@Bramblebaugs]

Thank god for the tapoff.

[@ApHaWbAs]

they so need Murray Gusseck back....

[@drksdofthmoon]

will we ever see "this" SVC again?

[@ThePingCam]

Came back 8 years later to say no :(

[@drksdofthmoon]

@@ThePingCam sad

[@Allison_Chaynes]

Now will you ever see DCI again?

[@jeffe_77]

I miss it as well, I also don’t mind SCV winning 5 drum trophies in the last 6 seasons either. But this exercise is so money and Broken City I feel has taken this concept to whole new level.

[@bilbong6234]

Santa Vlara Canguard

[@jhs9412]

@PhantomDrums917 I don't think there is any kind of pulse going on in there. Watch carefully. You'll notice, once the center gets good and ready, he starts playing quarter notes the guy next to him picks it up, and so on and so forth until it all comes together.

[@Hoosierdaddy427]

Even their "hacking" was clean

[@snaredrummer105]

@tenorchops04 just interpret them as triplets on beats on and four with RLL sticking. In case you want a more technical explanation, two dotted sixteenths are the subdivision of a dotted eighth note. So you would just fit two dotted sixteenths in the space of the last dotted eighth note of each 4 over 3 rhythm. Either way they come out sounding like triplets.

[@Primo555]

Bring back Murray Gusseck!!!! 🥲

[@Primo555]

Ahead of his time and is a big reason the culture is the way it is now.

[@williamshiflet538]

someday I want to march this drumline. scv sanford 2023

[@ibrokeAstick]

is there anywhere you can get this music for free? (flash gordon, not the hacking)

[@RishiJalukar]

I can get you the hacking, not the Flash Gordon part

[@rene1OOO3]

@DrmrGuy1979 It's in 4/4, the groove section is 12/8. no crazy time sigs. lol

[@matthewjreynolds1048]

A lot of their exercises are groovy!

[@alexpham095]

Lol. crazy transition.

[@gtrocksyosocks]

@FatGocks Did you want Snare 1, Snare 2, Snare 3, Snare 4, Tenor 1, Tenor 2, Tenor 3, or full score?

[@drumrdude707]

that was a pretty damn good run of that...wow.

[@jrokruhlica]

How have managed to watch this video everyday for the past three weeks?

[@shocka89]

That shit at 4:30 is phat and fire!

[@beastdrummer555]

cleaner than my drumline...

[@PhantomDrums917]

@jhs9412 Actually, I think you are right but perhaps someone off camera is cuing them into it? They all look up at roughly the same time? Maybe the instructor is giving them a visual cue off camera? Still way cool exercise. :)

[@isiah1977]

just another day in the office. GO SCV GO

[@FatGocks]

Anyone have music for 0:00 to 2:26?

[@Rogers1977]

@alildrumhappy damn, you're right. I don't remember her being that short either. I mean, she was short, but I didn't think THAT short!

[@pasta_heals]

Probably not. Regarding the fact that Phantom's techs left and went to SCV.

[@drumpredator1]

can you please send me the flash gordon henderson sheet music?

[@kilroy227]

That's style right there.

[@LemonSanitizer]

does anyone have the tenor part for this? I have the snare part and am willing to trade. Message me, please and thanks!

[@alildrumhappy]

@Rogers1977 I dont even remember her being short at all.. I saw them in San Antonio and she didnt look short.

[@MoustacheCloud]

What in fact is the point of this exercise?

[@jasonbates9906]

Limb independence.

[@MoustacheCloud]

Holy crap. Didn't even notice the inner notes for the longest time.

[@melheislerdrums]

@FatGocks I'm sure Glenn could transcribe it for us.

[@BirchKing8]

Imagine looking across the lot and seeing this 🤢😮‍💨🤒

[@allstar550]

[@MrAnarchy26]

[@Mike_Stanford]

it's not really a warm-up for warming your arms up its for limp independence and thought process having to keep two thoughts on your head and say ok I'm gonna tap here and play complicated ass rhythms here

[@MoustacheCloud]
