Blue Devils 2009 drumline

BD drumline

[@garylagstrom3864]

Best Tenor Line BD has ever had! Best Ever! 😎😎😎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@litslug]

Come on man... Devs have arguably the most difficult book every single year. This is still very early season and they sound very good.... come August this line (and corps) will be on fire. Hardest snare and tenor lines to make in the world, hands down. These kids have talent.... respect.

[@mrswicknick]

Cannot wait for this to get cleaned up. Snares sound Sooo much better this year.

[@danthemanpatrick]

It's like this book was written just for the lot. Great hands. Wish I could've been there.

[@matt98stang]

those tenors are intimidating! lol that whole line is badass. great to see another BD drumline back up to the top

[@TetraCleric]

Its so crazy seeing Danny playing for BD, I remember when he was a freshmen in High School, and to see that his drumming has evolved him to BD level is awesome.

[@GOGOPants]

much respect to thuis drumline!!!

[@drumboy1313]

@EvolRogg This is, in my opinion, the hardest thing to do as far as music goes. Being in a band, but further more, being in a drumline. And, thank you for realizing that this isn't just some game. Most people don't realize how difficult this is unless they do it themselves.

[@ikshields]

Looks like BD's gonna do just fine in the percussion department, thank ya very much...

[@rasears13]

It's not just the heads. Dynasty snare drums have been redesigned with Paul Rennick. Changed the bearing edge and vents. They sound really good. I'll bet these are the new snares.

[@rockthetenors]

One of the best batterys i've ever seen. BD 06 was awesome too.

[@texashorns76]

That's actually a really sick snare break

[@jmc647]

@Linewing760 thanks for the input and taking the time to reply. i'm in the market for a dynasty and i really liked BD's white dynasty snares. i wasn't sure if there was a custom finish or not. thanks for the clarification.

[@breathmusic]

damn those basses cut so nicely! i love bass :D

[@LaurLaurShift1]

=D Gotta love those sock tans!!!!!! but an amazing core, it would be an awesome experiance to be a part of this core

[@KaliNight]

omg these guys are beastly! this is amazing!

[@giovan3377]

Controle dos taps incrível!!___Control of taps incrive!!

[@mikey16piet]

Thats was quite amazing. Tenors are very very very sick. ;P

[@allstar550]

I really hope they put commentary on this year's Finals DVD. I'm going to want to listen to it

[@Rogers1977]

Dude, they're REEFED. I played on one of the snares. My hands were tired afterwards (I'm a tenor player so I'm not used to the tension).

[@drummer6590]

best line ever!

[@like1000ninjas]

dang these guys are soooo goood

[@mikey16piet]

They practice about 12 hours a day during the summer. 6 days a week. (maybe more), Not to mention practicing at home. Its quite intense. :)

[@gingerstudioz]

@Chops321 naaa lol, your thinking of quads n cinqs. we dont have those in british bands. over here our tennor drums are like a small bass drum, mounted on its side horizontally infront of the drummer, not verticaly.

[@IamSeafarer]

what are you talking about?? those snares are excellent! they sound amazing! and you may be talking about the bass drums and they sound perfect!

[@indrumcorphaha]

da rolls r unreal like seriously

[@InfernoZX5]

the snare effect at 1:116 and on...so beast

[@Rustie121]

im with you dude.well put

[@150rider6]

Hey yo, the middle snare is one of my teachers

[@chutdigadut]

pretty damn good drumming

[@panhead55]

god, those birkenstock...enough already!

[@KnottyEvo]

I love how the tenors after their solo just throw down their arms like, "we just fucking beasted it, and we know it".

[@mindfreak990]

Holy shit that bass line....

[@Wiregrass1Alpaca]

AMAZING!!!!

[@gabbagoolfool]

Pearl website and BD website. ScoJo became a pearl official artist too.

[@cosmodrum1]

BD has historically worn shades in warm-ups. I guess they got away from that in recent years. Nice to see them looking like the Devs here.

[@jakerjac]

Mmm, I love their highly tuned snares.

[@thasnargoblin]

hey, that was pretty clean:)

[@natemaster2083]

Woah, that guys by the tenors looks like what's-his-face who was on tenors in 2006 and whatever years before.

[@theDrumkilla]

Well, your also hear them from the bottom, keep that in mind.

[@gunpowderageboy]

hellacrap awesome snare sounds

[@cru4you]

high moms if you can't do something very well then you either aren't practicing enough or not correctly high moms are just somethin you got to get used to. it took me a couple of nights to get the muscle memory for them but now i can do pretty much what ever with them lol

[@litslug]

BD historically wears shades when warming up during the daylight (which rarely happens). Wear shades when it is sunny... don't wear them when it is dark. Has everything do woth logic, not confidence.

[@stixx1492]

I just .. dont even know what to say. this is crazy.

[@scizatt]

I think it's a matter of opinion honestly. This drumline was decided the best by a few dudes in green shirts first off. Anyone who's ever marched drum corps knows scores don't really mean anything but a dudes opinion. But putting that aside, their quadline is pretty sweet i'd say, but the low end in the snareline could use some work.

[@theDrumkilla]

I just realized this was 2009 haha.

[@Coltranized]

3:09 - 3:12 Love that part!

[@Ooshbala]

scojo is so awesome.

[@jmc647]

to anyone that saw them in the lot: were the drums plain white, or did they have a custom finish like phantom had in 2010. i really like the look of white dynasty's with the chrome hardware. thank you in advance for any help anyone can give.

[@cwk1417]

i hate to say it but you could possibly be right, but they've only been gone since 06, that was their age out year.

[@jareids]

he does have a point. being clean should just be a standard for any corps. it shouldnt be impressive to be clean, just expected.

[@Bzong]

@MrAc2181 it's not like bd lost only to phantom...they were fourth in percussion this year..

[@flamwork06]

LOL snare break is down right beast!!!!

[@IndoorPanda]

its just the new evans heads. they're doin amazing so far. and im not even a bd fan

lets go alex and boonie

[@lifewithvtec]

2:22 is the best part tenors woot woot lol these guys omg wish i could do this lol i would not be on youtube lol

[@natemaster2083]

@Papermate123123 they were. Period.

[@gingerstudioz]

your the one who needs to learn your stuff mate ^^ a tennor drum is practicly a smaller version of a bass drum, a bass drum is a big drum used to keep the beat. and no, by bongo's i mean bongo's . they wear a set of 4 drums that sound like bongo's. and a tennor drum is played with medium sized padded sticks.

[@MrAc2181]

3 people are Phantom Regiment fans.

[@weebert1]

what state do blue devils practice it always seems to be perfect weather when i watch them practice...

[@lifewithvtec]

2:22 is the best part tenors woot woot lol

[@cwk1417]

why the fuck are the rolls so effing clean!!?!?!!?!?!

[@Cameraguy314]

@ 4:52 second quad from left attacked that drum!!!! lol

[@jareids]

well i know their captain (chris slater) is aging out. idk about the rest though. i only know that slater is cuz hes my private lesson teacher

[@crazyuki13]

ha come on man this was just their second appearance as a drumline.

[@timartin91]

are the snares just like cranked? they sound oddly tuned for BD. Kick assness in the line though...sweet writing as well

[@HaloPlayingDrummer]

omg i remember being there!!! I jizzed in my pants!!!

[@drummerboyjordan1]

futuristic reefed beats

[@ridub]

Any one know if any snares are aging out this year? I'm just curious. So gooood.

[@natemaster2083]

You said everything over here is "backwards" simply because our drums are different.

[@mrswicknick]

Agreed.

[@gingerstudioz]

@Chops321 well there not in an orchesta are they ? so therfor they are being used for the wrong purpose and are a stupid instrament. i made the same spelling mistake because thats how i have been spelling it all the time. and FTR marching bands are an english thing so for you to be telling me that im wrong just doesnt work seeing as we invented marching bands :)

[@Linewing760]

@jmc647 they had a marble look on them

[@kas36spires]

whoo! 0:47 - 0:56

[@Dkellydrums]

nice!!

[@marvinthetoaster]

Truth.

[@kas36spires]

haha that was the center too

[@thasnargoblin]

guhhh, so much snare response...

[@cosmodrum1]

Dude. Wrong. You can prove it yourself by watching this vid - then search 1994 vids, 1996 vids, 2001 vids, etc. Not to say the philosophy has changed (since Scott has been there since 93, or maybe 94 can't remember), but you can see noticable differences in every section of the battery.

[@gingerstudioz]

there snares sound like bongo's or even when you kick a dodgeball, they need different drums.

[@dieselfreak93]

I total agree with that , People who say that they are dirty probably suck and cant play legatos haha

[@IamSeafarer]

god no kid the tenors are the ones with 4 or more toms with no bottom head and the bass drums are the SIDEWAYS DRUMS! Clear enough for you? that could not get any simpler! i know my drums, and there are no bongos in a battery line! :/

[@ChocolateGoodness22]

they are switching too pearl?!!? since when or better where did you see that at?

[@natemaster2083]

@Papermate123123 cool story, bro

[@gingerstudioz]

no i didnt ^^ i said the snares were shit cus they sounded like bongo's . then i realised that they were those stupide quints/quads. i then asked what they were called, then people said they were tenors. i only spelt it as "tennor" because i made a spelling mistake. that ever cross ur mind ? anyway go on google inages and type in "tenor drum" you'll see.

[@Aaaronicus]

It's like me criticizing an Olympic figure skaters technique while i can't even skate.

[@InfernoZX5]

@1matlox1 i know right?

[@gingerstudioz]

@Chops321 are you a drummer ? or just a fanboy ? im a side drummer in the best air traning corps band in england. i think i might just know my stuf a lil better than you doncha think ?

[@seamusmceagan]

1:03 hahaha, the fucking snare tuning is so sexy,

[@Sea_moore]

@moefoe1256 even thought that is true, that was that one time, plus, i'm just saying, you don't have any right to say that they are dirty when you can't play their music yourself

[@mysteryrockssssssss]

@ZXROMEO apparently they did something right cause they won

[@AKzosorocker]

Is it true BD is switchin to Pearl drums? I much prefer pearl sound quality to dynasty anyways

[@gingerstudioz]

ye but there not tennors, there quads or quints. a tennor drum is totaly different

[@ryelambo]

thats funny because they already won with a 99 and winning drums

[@cru4you]

core core core core

[@JeDeSoN2]

@TheRandomVideoMaker its because he was "dutting".

[@rongaro]

o0o neutral white this year.

[@infernal7777]

camera guy shat his pants at 3:37

[@gingerstudioz]

ah yes, your right, the snare's are fine, its those stupid bongo things, where there's 4 of them

[@Coliniyd10]

Is Nick Arce the outside right tenor?
