Blue Devils 2018 Drum Features

I'm done arguing with people on the internet so I'll just leave this here. Hardest drum breaks I've ever played. More rhythmic modulations (and moonwalks) than any other book I've seen

[@christianfischer2132]

You know what would be cool. A snare line made up of all the world class center snares

[@TheLazerBlazer]

that would be sick

Man there’s NOTHING safe about these drum breaks! That’s why BD will always be my favorite! The rhythmic demand, the touch demand from player to player, listening demands along with the movement is super difficult. Props to you and the crew! Pushing limits all year.

6 years later and he’s still the shortest one

Never disrespect the goat like this ever again

[@JMH702]

He’s still center snare

[@jonathanorellana-sanchez2971]

Daniel Kuhn LMAO FACTS

[@mikerom7991]

"Hardest drum breaks I've ever played" hahaha but you and those other guys in the snareline make it look so easy and effortless though its crazy lol

[@ryansparrelldrums]

That first drum break looks so damn hard to play lmao people saying this is easy obviously have no idea what they’re talking about. Good stuff!

[@0Aquamelon]

I read the description, and don’t worry about arguing with other people. I heard them say that last year’s show was easy too, and after trying to learn the drum breaks in it, I realized they don’t know what their talking about. It’s harder than any drum break I’ve tried to learn in other shows. And I’ve tried to learn a lot.

[@steroidpigeon]

i've seen you comment on like three other videos (drum corps). what's up

[@christianfischer2132]

Yeah I learned it as a sophomore but it was ridiculously hard. The amount of 5:3s to 3:2s and 5lets with missing partials and how fast they play it wow.

[@robertoserratos1149]

Try blue knights 2015 snare break ;) tht shii frustrates

[@juhstion]

0:17 quads playing this while moving is nuts

[@holographicmemes4274]

This specific video sparks something in me every time that i watch it that makes me fall in love with marching band and drum corps all over again. the sheer energy and concentration is powerful and I want to be able to one day have that.

[@kevingallagher7426]

Dci players make the hardest things look easy af

[@jeromieb038]

I love the way those drums sounds

[@nerfherder183]

That book is just insane. Thanks for posting this.

[@johnnydasuper]

Some of my favorite drum breaks this year

[@christiandelgadodrums947]

You are the best. Keep up the good work my friend 😉

[@mickeyscv67]

No way....time flies!!! Is he graduating from college next year?? Did he go to school in Boston.??

[@phillipaustin2016]

That moonwalk was dope! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Queeze101]

That quad feature was spotless! Wait. . .

[@mel-px7hl]

There’s no argument here. This shit is hard, and very well executed.

[@BlueTheVelociraptorBTV]

I’ve been trying to learn the snare break they did towards the end of the video and I’ve gotten it about 85-90% memorized but I can’t remember it all

[@jacobpotts7954]

Blue The Velociraptor BTV I can but when I play with the video I start screwing up lol

[@BeardedTruth]

They sound really good here. This is cleaner than their finals run.

[@zachaidansmom]

Wuh bout the tenor feature? THE QUAD GODS DISAPPROVE!!!

[@johnschubert2885]

Never noticed the moonwalk until this vid. Fucking unreal. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@BDizDaBest]

I’ve been sitting here for ten minutes, watching and rewatching the video to understand how it’s physically possible for you to have “never noticed” the moonwalk. I’m still utterly stumped. It’s literally front and center in the camera view and the entire snareline does it in unison. Do you have the worst observational skills in the history of humankind?

[@Luke_Cullen]

@people who areshit talking. do you know how to join walk with a drum on??? I doubt it

[@Djroshi01]

Still a hometown hero Brandon 😋 Hardest book hands down 🙌🙌🙌

[@debbetperc1389]

Good stuff man ! I Wish i had time to watch all the drumline lot at san antonio :((

[@Ethanicus1]

This book is insane

[@HansonProductions112]

"Hardest drum breaks I've ever played." Damn right. No one even bothered trying to transcribe the first break. Metrically intense stuff.

Bryce v Brandon 2k19

BD drum break this year was super techy

[@cnner1997]

Sound like the beginning of the Metamorph drum break at first

[@juhstion]

yep, it’s the same thing 😅 it’s so fire

[@raaool1116]

Nice

Are you coming back next year, Brandon??

[@playingintraffic9037]

What were you arguing about?

[@jacob6174]

People being absolutely insane and petty on the flomarching video

[@legolas_]

Arguing about what was the hardest drum break that Brandon played in drum core

[@knifeknife69]

malik so sweaty and skinny rn

[@fartsofatso4278]

Bryce Gardner might say otherwise 😝

[@stevecastro8845]

yeah he might but not you

[@Ryan-dz7mg]

Steve Castro Here I was thinking Brandon has the highest I&E score at 17 with two stick drops

[@stevecastro8845]

Ryan what do you want him to be? Perfect? I dropped my sticks once in a performance are you going to sham me too?

[@Ryan-dz7mg]

Steve Castro I didn't "sham" him or you. I payed Brandon what some people might call a compliment.

[@briangoins6970]

Ryan lol at mocking spelling and then thinking it’s spelled “payed”. The beats are sick, btw. So much demand inside of isolated passages.

[@Inspadave]

Difficult? Absolutely. Interesting? Not so much.

[@creeperkiller9795]

It actually was very interesting

[@adammtroutman]

This is called music which serves the musician and not the serving the idea nor the listeners/audience. Nothing memorable about marching, just sheer technical prowess and lots and lots of notes. No wonder common people don’t enjoy it; it’s not for them. Okay fine, so stop playing at all the sports events or play something people want to hear.

[@ThruSkryingCoagula]

Brandon olander, Is this the same brandon with the curly hair that I saw like in 2010 jamming out with the blue devils? It maybe the one of the hardest drum brakes yet was it worth it? Dude, that sweaty black guy just ruined everything that whole segment was not composed right music was ugly and off, it was just pure shit, however the beginning very nice

[@flarfatron2190]

Ah. What dci corps did you march? Your Prob that kid that can’t march, and is in the pit as a junior, but knows everything there is to know about drumline. Where’s your blue devils video? Have you won I&E multiple times as a world class competitior? I rest my case.
