19:35 Foreshadowing.

[@magoosalazar7840]

Didnt think about that😂

[@BlueTheVelociraptorBTV]

DAMN that was a (Not so good) year

[@ethangrubb8318]

That guy tapping off looks like a nice and funny guy

[@definitelynottigerwhitten5865]

What is the origin of this lol?

[@WagnerBros]

He was tuning that drum in a circle!! What the heck!!

[@prophetpc5461]

Wagner Bros. I also caught that, that's not the way I've been taught

[@CBW_MT]

its not a big deal when you dont have tension rods to warp

[@helpmeimconfused]

Really late lol. But you tune Kevlar heads in a circle. You prob know this already

[@coolman56live]

@@CBW_MT The rods exsist They are just in the shell soo it probably can warp Lol

[@CBW_MT]

Zay PlayZ I’ve learned a little more in the year since I posted that, what I was told is it doesn’t really matter after you get the head set on the drum, especially with hardy drums designed for high tension

[@mando3703]

amanda Martinez and Brandon olander gave me their sticks.💙💙💙

[@CBW_MT]

lucky SOB

[@marioc.8643]

Amanda Martinez is cute.

[@mr51mp35]

Mando what sticks were they? They look to thin to be Scott Johnson’s or DC50.

[@hiraethia8419]

@@mr51mp35 probably dc17s

[@hiraethia8419]

Something more common I've found that feels similar is vice firth roger carters

[@Xayr]

hey awesome footage Damien! If i may input something, I think the footage would be more dynamic if you get more of the line than just zooming in on the snares, ie getting at least 3 snares in a shot/moving out away so you can get more members in the shot. I'm really digging that second camera for the quads though, really cool perspective. Please keep up the awesome videos!

[@quarter_bob]

thanks for your feedback.

[@alexlopez515]

Yea I like to watch there hands and to see what technique they use

[@matthewdejesus7543]

god damn it I knew they'd change the closer quad break that I already transcribed

[@rileyrj_]

this is old, they still have the white bass heads on... you've might've transcribed the current one

[@itsdutz9342]

Wow they changed their drum break a lot this season

[@dominickguerra189]

THank you for capturing such great footage! Reminds me of how my highschool line warmed up, not even close to this line haha.

[@bimabaru3104]

Jika pot e hhuuuuuu no p

[@TheDrummerboy526]

This is one of the best drumline videos I have ever seen. The sound quality is amazing, as well as the video quality.

[@barrymonroy7138]

And Amanda looks beautiful as always! !!!

[@LegacyGarunix]

Bass 1 is bae

[@gentrywalker]

21:58 that lick with the two shots and the accented rolls is from Felliniesque right before the jazz run section.

[@rangeraditya00]

Man this is a really great vid. Keep em coming Damien cas this vid is great! Also that quad split in the beginning is amazing

[@SchroederNews]

Full Show starts at 17:07

[@ezrashoaf9354]

Dudes been marching BD since he was 16 to his age out, he’s crazy

[@monstacondom]

21:50 the dab

[@prodigydrummer]

I love the quality of this recording!

[@gunner-qf9eh]

Yes. Love it! You are the man Damien. Please keep them coming.

[@androidsama9398]

the video and audio quality are amazing especially video i love how you have footage of all three sections instead of just snares or just tenors.

[@FreestyleRudiments]

great footage

[@MatthewCaraway-e1d]

He did NOT just start tuning a snare without crossing the head... he Siad he does it all day long. Then he does it wrong all day long. NOONE would suggest you go in a circle torque tuning. That was nuts. I'm surprised the drums are tuned that well given that fact!

[@tdubasdfg]

My first time seeing those quads up close. Thats sick they took that part of the rims out. Brilliant design.

[@tdubasdfg]

+Nick Dobbins i see how some could think that but i see it as innovation. instead of practicing to not hit rims and hitting rims all the time...just remove the rims. it's genius i bet the lack of rims allows these guys to play things not possible on other drums. let's see how long it takes the rest of DCI to "copy" aka just do something that really makes sense

[@johndeer4789]

If you ask me, it comes off as a complete cop out. Groups are playing beats that can give other top groups a run for their money, with traditionally designed drums of course. One would even argue that it changes the stature of what quad drumming has always been Writing and executing the repertoire in this instruments' own respect is an art form of its own. The instrument in it's own right, is so prestigious as it is and altering them to hit less rims with this design definitely takes away from the prestige. It would be as if you started marching two bass drums, stacked on one another, per bass drummer, just to get splitting 5lets to sound smoother. It definitely changes the game, but isn't a game-changer by any means.

[@RandomYoutube1234]

+john deer the almighty quad drum, how dare they. I assume you were also against DCI allowing Bb trumpets, or against cars replacing the horse-pulled buggy;)

[@tdubasdfg]

+john deer #AllRimsMatter

[@johndeer4789]

+Brandon Cooper I'm not a brass player, so I have little to no idea what you're referring to. But you just listed a whole bunch of additions/replacements to certain subjects. These rims subtract a small yet large part of what quad drumming is to drummers- whether that be a negative part or a positive part. I'm not a quad drummer, but I've been around enough quad drummers to know that this is definitely perceived as the "easy way out". In a way they can easily shoot themselves in the foot with this new thing. It doesn't seem to be helping the rim paradigm at all; I mean they're still hitting them like crazy in this video for sure. And while people will come with "their still hitting rims because that's how hard their content is", you can't overlook that these rims are suppose to eliminate that issue. That doesn't go well for their image seeing as how the crank their quads higher that anyone else in DCI, making their rims significantly lower to begin with. *wink face*

[@Behundagut]

Ahh, yes... The wild west of using knockoff Pearl AirFrame carriers and Dynasty bass & tenor stands, and calling it "System Blue". Before they got hit with all of the trademarks, copyrights, and potential threats of lawsuits...

[@BlueTheVelociraptorBTV]

17:30 FUQ WAS THAT NOISE??? 😂😂😂

[@eatingfries1429]

DAT COFFEE!

[@davidraigoza214]

Swear I heard the closer from 2014 in the beginning

[@davidgentile4576]

I don't get it

[@dominickguerra189]

Thats the cleanest bass line I've ever heard

[@saladking2370]

Dominick Guerra I will give them those splits between 3 and 4 🤙🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@hotdog3392]

Dominick Guerra how do u listen to that crap?! All I hear is snares

[@krisgarcia1711]

ThunderAnt put some ear buds;)

[@Zelly_22]

is it just me or does this snare break sound like the 2007 drum break too

[@kokkodrums]

Hey Damien, what kind of camera are you using? cheers from PA!

[@kowboy83ra]

17:12 You're welcome

[@doge6154]

and that is their warming up :)

[@sullimd]

Their basses sound so good this year. I've listened to multiple recordings and the basses all stand out. Something you usually don't get good definition with on a recording. You can actually hear the tone instead of just a "thump" sound.

[@JDLPERCUSSION]

Holy fuck. The fucking metal capability .

[@112007Roman]

The camera seems to LOVE Amanda, lol.

[@thesocialexperiment4911]

Our drumline is getting these drums and I am super excited to play on them. They look and sound so good!

[@infernoshouldhavewon5381]

The Social Experiment geez my school just uses yamaha mc drums. would love to play on sb equipment. how is it

[@cartermansur7513]

their music is so basic compared to the Cadets in my opinion. it's almost show like, but each corps has their own style so I shouldn't think much of it.

[@chiabass874]

I would say BD writes for context moreso. It can be more sparse and melodic, but it definitely fits into how they structure the program. Cadets edge the line of overwriting at times, but it's really a reflection of larger philosophical ideas of the organizations. BD is a perennial Sanford contender for a reason though.

[@rileyrj_]

+chiabass874 I totally agree with the overwriting part. There show kinda sounds like a hot mess.

[@blooeagle5118]

this year's show, i'll be honest, was boring to me. it was just noise, in my opinion. Blue devils weren't interesting this year :/ Impressive, but just noise.

[@jaredchacon2645]

Riley Jorgensen well yeah but it is just the percussion so I guess it's supposed to sound like that

[@infernoshouldhavewon5381]

Cxrtah yeah. every corps has a different play style. lool at some of scv compared to the likes of bd, bluecoats, bk, bs, and boston. or in wgi rcc, pulse, chino, infinity. ans such forth. all different but all amazing

[@twistedtrails8128]

VK used to have camps at Rio Mesa, my HS. What HS is this? Looks like Oxnard HS...

[@owen0566]

My high school drum line sounds so bad because of one girl that does not practice or anything, and she thinks she’s the best when she can’t even play on the upbeat 😐I know this because she went to the bathroom to do god knows what for like 20 minutes and during that time we sounded so fucking clean I felt so good and we all knew why

[@caydencrawford4948]

1:10 Why is he tuning the tension rods in order?! Needs more star pattern

[@Queeze101]

How long has she been bass 1?

[@superninja2202]

since 2013

[@saladking2370]

John Adams Dude, you are somewhere in every lot video comments section

[@programmedwrong3795]

That warm up at the 15 minute mark with the dynamic changes is bad ass.

[@stumeister6891]

when I marched back in the 70's the Bass drummers had to carry their bass drums while at practice.

[@kaitlynnr8001]

I love watching all them but the smaller kid on snare is he the one in 2012 that was playing with them one day?

[@DAVIDISEPIC1111]

I was behind your gopro :D

Bass 3 looks like guava juice

[@hotdog3392]

f Faust it is guava juice

[@anixben]

Anyone know what harnesses they're using????? Those don't look like normal Pearl Airframes. And I thought the new system blue drums only worked with Randall May hardware?

[@malditobandito98]

Dylan Catlin So is that why they went from the Pearl looking harnesses to Randall May harnesses? I always wondered that tbh 😅

[@TheSlayerXnight]

Is it like the newest guy gets in charge of tuning drum? Or the section leader?

[@brod_drumz]

Your not suppose to tune the heads in a cicrlce

[@nathanbinder9385]

They really do be smacking that system blue logo on everything huh

[@GordoDrummer]

Sounds amazing! Great players, but all of the giggling around from tapping the foot makes it look sloppy. Can't tell by the sound though!

[@sub-jec-tiv]

Part of why they’re so tight, pulsing with their legs. Looking forward to the video showing us how much better your form & sound are 😉

[@robosdrumworld]

I miss DCI Sacramento Freelancers, Guardian Knights and I tried out for the Santa Clara Vanguard. Way too much fun!!!

[@daniellukecurtiss]

If you tune all day then why do you tune in a circle?!!!!

[@Inspadave]

I find it amazing how in some of the warmup shots I can not hear the tenors. I see them playing but do not hear them.

[@Inspadave]

Well, Mike needs to get closes to the quads next time. They are playing the only cool stuff in this book. Video wise these videos are outstanding. They look so damn good when played on my TV.
