God, I miss those pearl drums.

The sound quality got noticeably worse when they went to System Blue the following year

[@victorcordon3411]

@@benjaminkenobi21 well there's been a change of fate. System Blue's distributor went broke, so now bd's switching it up

[@justinjohnson4278]

@@victorcordon3411 yeah, and Ludwig drums basically sound like pearls anyway lol

[@justinjohnson4278]

I do think system blue basses are slightly better but the snares and for sure the tenors sound better on pearl

[@ryandunklee634]

The snare tuning was godly. I really miss the pearl drums

[@nickpisarczyk]

There's so much more tone speaking out of the drums as compared to 2016 when they switched to System Blue drums

[@kyleauthmusic]

Can we all observe that the snare vocal at 5:17 is split down the line by syllables.

[@yungtwiz]

I cant even tell what the vocal was

[@mike7815]

Miles Keaton “hi there mr. marty griffin”

@@ZayProductions21 That's the name of my old band director from high school lol

[@artvandelay837]

@@ZayProductions21 I remember he judged when i was in high school. Haven't thought about that in years and never thought I'd come across his name on youtube. Anyone have the judges tape for that year?

[@KBisDOC]

That was fucking squared away.

[@jazzcabbage1776]

I remember not liking this book that they were playing when they were touring... I now get why they won.... IT's hella hella complicated. Good Shit BD

[@ethankeaffaber9692]

I think bd should go back to pearl they sound so good. also this is one of my favorite books ever. so clean especially with those great sounding drums

[@Mr_Gray_1995]

I really wanted another show to beat these guys to be honest, but you know what? This aged like a fine wine. Haven’t seen this video since 2015-16.

[@DatGuyWithNoName]

6:39 That attack could cure cancer

[@DatGuyWithNoName]

And the shot at 5:50...

[@Queeze101]

Trophy was well-deserved

[@eriklindquist6820]

What equipment do you use to record low light lots like this?

[@purcell2319]

1:08-1:24 is so freaking cool

[@benjaminkenobi21]

Best sounding tenor drums BD ever played on? Plus it sounds like they didn't over-crank the shit out of the Pearls like they do most other drums?

[@carlitos4505]

anybody know what indoor the center snare marched on?

[@wolvecaptain29]

+Carlitos Salazar Sean doesn't march indoor, except for when he was in high school

[@carlitos4505]

+jared collins Damn. He's super good for not marching indoor.

[@MatthewWaltersR]

+Carlitos Salazar Marched indoor with him in high school, he's actually trash tbh.

does anyone else think the bottom bass harness is a bit low

[@left_rios]

does any else think people's body structures are different lol

[@hiraethia8419]

it looks low for him

[@_nodoubt]

+cylus cyrus He's right.

[@ElementalJerk]

+GoodWoodization its def low cuz you can see his center slightly above the normal spot

[@_nodoubt]

+Zachary Brenna Yeah I agree, it's too low for him.

3:45 What are they saying?

[@kobevo8527]

MCM

[@jeremiahholloman2716]

The guy in the beginning in the snare line on the far left ( the last one) why did he move from the bluecoats

[@coregamerammo1659]

+Jeremiah Holloman i think his girlfriend was marching BD, also it seems like a decent amount of Bluecoat percussion move to BD

[@matthewjohnston8504]

+Jeremiah Holloman Yeah a lot of Bluecoats go to Devils, I hear they work together a lot (that could be very wrong). But BD is cleaner, just tends to have a more simple book... And they win, RIP Bluecoats ;(

[@Jonathanwyoyo]

Also, I think he lives in SoCal (he was on the Ayala HS line a few years back) so BD is much closer.

[@IanUnsworthA288]

+Jonathanwyoyo He marched RCC in 2015

[@marshallwitty]

+Ian Unsworth he was not in RCC ever. He was and has been in Rhythm X.

[@nickfenech1386]

What sticks?

[@cartoonringo]

Nick Fenech system blue

[@prettymuchgigi2757]

Lol 5:16 that's clever, I've never seen someone do that before but do the judges know they say that?

[@Queeze101]

Depends where the field the judge is at the time. If he's staged in front of the snares for adjudication, then oh well 😕

[@b.lapolis]

Anyone know the vocal at 5:16?

[@vincentcoakley777]

"Hi there, Mr. Marty Griffin." It's directed at the percussion judge, I think.

[@matthewcoleman1595]

The vocal depends on the percussion judge they had. It would be "Hi there *judge name* how is your day?"

[@DrumCorpsTube]

+vincentcoakley7 What does Brandon say? He says something with a high pitch at the end.

[@nickle4335]

+DrumCorpsTube It sounds like "Hi there, Mr. Marty Griffin. Hey." because "Hi there, Mr. Marty Griffin" has 8 syllables max and there are 9 snares.

[@TenorChick12]

Nick Le Brandon says “Hi” if the name ends in 8 syllables

[@samrovito3694]

leave the flams to the cadets 2015

[@ethankeaffaber9692]

more like cadets 2013

[@grayson-bubbles-light5025]

this book reminds me of indoor

[@Nswizzle]

Thank

[@shatteredbroadcast]

Love the clarity, but i hate their writing.. its like they tried to make everything as technically challenging as possible, instead of focusing on an efficient but phrased musical selection.

[@connorscocktailguide]

Couldn't have said it better myself

[@Gclarkjr]

+Ryan DeShazo i agree. It fits well with the show.

[@Gclarkjr]

+Shattered Broadcast Gaming I Love his writing. I don't like when most drum lines have the same concept when writing music. I understand you may get inspired by other composers but you need to develop your own sound and this is Dev's sound. In my opinion I like it.

[@connorscocktailguide]

+Gclarkjr it just seems to me that the brass is playing a completely different show then the percussion is. In my opinion it just doesn't fit.

[@breazealemusic1842]

+Shattered Broadcast Gaming Please, I have to know,,, what is an "efficient but phrased musical selection"?

[@willdibbs7106]

SCV and Cadets were better this year IMO. I even liked the Bluecoats book, which is a lot easier than most of their other books.

[@mylesthomas9333]

way too technical
