Blue Devils 2018 FULL SHOW (Learn the Music)

[@LK-jo8xt]

colin always seems to make an appearance somewhere in a bd show but only once

[@KiichiKobayashi]

Nice job…

[@TheBANDit_67]

Thanks!

[@blakman7]

Oh my God, that McNutt visual was absolutely hysterical 😂🤣😂🤣

[@justinevans7550]

5:52 is by far my favorite snare break of 2018. Such good control. Thanks for a great video reference!

[@MasonKozee]

facts dude nothing too big and loud but very controled and clean and tasty

[@ICYBEATSsupporttt]

Keep posting bro... U deserve more recognition 🎯🎯

[@saintangel6561]

[@TheBANDit_67]

2017 is already being edited!

[@yungharambe]

Awesome vid

Hey thats me!

[@NikonPercussion]

I would love to see Blue devils 2016 if you could do that one? Love the videos! Keep it up!

[@victorp.1219]

just be watching shows that i don’t even really like, keep it up man!

[@evanmnichproductions]

The McNutt at 3:29 is hilarious

[@ryank09]

i feel like some of this writing is just hard for the sake of being hard

[@NebrasKorneater]

I agree 110%. Blue Devils almost always play the busiest and most difficult music. While I am impressed by their technical prowess, I am also let down by the lack of groove and musicality. Too many 5-lets, 7-lets, etc. to the point where you lose all sense of time and phrasing. It's somewhat fun to watch the sheet music as they execute at such a high level, just not that enjoyable to listen to.

[@thomashelm6931]

Right?? I like some of the "features" and the snare brakes, as well as the sticking for visual. But, holy cow! It's like... How many strokes can we cram into a four beat measure? But they know what they're doing and they do it well. Hats off

[@benbillowitch9163]

At some point you should do cadets 2015 or 2016 those are pretty chunky

[@TylerDunphy]

Bar 23 is actually just a quarter note triplet followed by two eighth note double strokes, the same as the lick used in 2017!

[@TylerDunphy]

@@bryancriswell That's interesting. Why on earth would they change the hand speed in the middle of a set rhythm?

[@alexgaeckle1540]

Not really sure but if you want to compare the 5:6 version to a quarter note triplet with two 8ths. Put on a met and see where the beats line up.

[@bryancriswell]

@@TylerDunphy it’s about how the line collectively decided to interpret the rhythm. this is a minor case of clarity over exact rhythmic accuracy, which happens more often then you might think lol. if you listen closely, those two double strokes are definitely way more open than sixteenth notes at that tempo. the 5:6s at 214-215 are another result of this.

[@TylerDunphy]

@@bryancriswell I did notice they were open. I guess it’s all about how it feels both to play and when listening. Great points!

[@TylerDunphy]

@@alexgaeckle1540 it’s definitely closer to my interpretation, with the doubles being a faster hand speed than the previous three notes, but I’ve found out the original music has a 5:6 interpretation.

[@skkrify5596]

2:18 putting this here for me

[@cnner1997]

1:13 Is it just me or is that a reference to Metamorph's snare break

[@jonathanwoodward3890]

my problem is trying to remember the notes

[@j.d.w3313]

any tips on memorization

[@TheBANDit_67]

Memorize one measure at a time and add a new one once you can play the last from memory

[@sylux6985]

5:37

[@blakman7]

This is the second time in history that I can say that their battery was a bit dirty this year. The only other year that I’ve been able to say that was 2005. But damn their 2018 book was sick.

[@ghackis]

How the fuck can people even learn this

[@TheBANDit_67]

Honestly wondering the same thing but somehow people do it

[@knifeknife69]

[@hardimonaddictyt9976]

Will we be getting crown 18?

[@TheBANDit_67]

I really, really want to do that show but I can't find a video with good sound quality that shows the snares for the full duration of the show that won't get me a copyright strike. I can use the video on the official drum corps channel, but that might get me in trouble.

[@hardimonaddictyt9976]

@@TheBANDit_67 you might be able to stitch that, combined with lot videos so dci doesnt get on you about it. Idk, beast is really undocumented which is sad cause it's a banger.

[@meatstick3046]

Idk if it’s just me, but does this seem like a more easy bd book than any others?

[@orangejuice4971]

Idk. I've never seen a 10-let before actually played in a piece

[@meatstick3046]

@@orangejuice4971 fax, but I’m pretty sure you could make 2 five-let’s fit the beat some how

[@TheBANDit_67]

@@orangejuice4971 that's because generally that's notated as two fivelets over two beats

[@orangejuice4971]

@@TheBANDit_67 that makes sense

[@knifeknife69]

as a 9 year old i can still read music notes instead i cant play triplet diddles with accents

at 1:18 on 1.25x it looks like you are playing on 218 yempo.
