I LOVE resonant tuning. Thank you so much for keeping it alive amongst all the dry sounding lines. P.S. Ya Bass.

[@cooph5712]

12:03 They really just said "what are you doing step bro" Basslines are definitely underrated

[@ericthomas1113]

The tuning of this bass line is hands down my favorite from DCI '19.

[@josephporzadek6451]

Eric Thomas i agree last year was a great year for bass lines

[@jacob_lass3841]

Do you happen to know what they are tuned to? My bass drum tech is currently trying to figure it out because we all love it

[@connorraebel]

mmmmmmm that tuning tho

[@hunteralexander9791]

Okay I’m working on learning how to figure out tuning of stuff that changes so fast, which is hard for a wind player but here’s what I’ve got: Bass 1: A Bass 2: F# Bass 3: D Bass 4: A Bass 5: D

[@joeychenault9248]

Change that Bb to an A and you’re set

[@cg7240]

Power chord and major triad = Beefy bassline

[@BrokeLevy]

I absolutely love their heads

[@bradyarnold6497]

That bottom bass hits the nutsack outta that drum

[@connorraebel]

I almost forgot to watch this today

[@doggles9285]

idk why but the unison at 14:38 made me lose my mind

[@tdubasdfg]

I would love to see some videos on how you tune your bass drums💜

[@gabefittante2778]

Love how non shalant the stick flip and downbeat is at 2:10 is bass 4

[@willmoore7308]

Best tuning for a bassline hands down. What's the setup and tuning for the basses??? And of course....YEAH BASS

[@SilverTheFlame]

YAY 2019 VIDEOS! How many lines did you get to film?!

[@Henjaben]

underrated

[@landryschneider3478]

THE TUNING IS SO GOOD AHHH

[@battleman27]

Hey what would you say that makes a good bass section leader?

[@wendyh.6645]

The ambulance was coming cause the bassline was getting lit

[@xxtheswagger8xx263]

It would’ve been perfect if it was a fire truck

[@honestymatters7516]

Best Bass drum tuning by far.

[@sodanomusic]

Nice. Glad I have the bell on

[@MrSteveblue824]

What a unique sound !👍 What drums and heads are these?🤔 Does any other DCI drumline use them?

[@falc0n717]

This recording is super good, but a lot of bass lines tune to the same notes, other recordings just don't show it as well. They use Mapex drums, but idk what heads

[@gabe_8997]

Steve Blue Mandarins uses Remo heads, and I know Pacific Crest, Surf, Music City, Gold?? and maybe some others use Mapex drums

[@markp3552]

gub I thought blue knights had mapex drums but I dont remember

[@gabe_8997]

Tracker AZ Yeah forgot about knights, idk I was just throwing stuff off the top of my head

[@markp3552]

gub I was just adding to the list dont worry about it lol

[@Sanvorhn]

Beautiful

[@falc0n717]

How did you guys muffle these drums? The resonance is insanely good and I love it

[@phanCAbe]

Again just show those first four minutes to someone twenty years ago. They'll say "Wow is that some sort of professional trick drumming crew that has been together for a few years?", then watch their brains leak out of their head when you say "Nah it's the 12th place percussion bass drums warming up after around 9 months of practice". Jesus the DCI talent pool is fucking bottomless.
