Blue Devils Drumline 2012 in the lot

Blue Devils Drumline 2012 in the lot at Mt. Sac on June 30, 2012

[@KFordmusic]

Keelan: "Is it my year to be center??" Scojo: "Yes, on second thought lets make center tenor center snare this year.." Keelan: -__-

[@adrianramirez4884]

Blue devils yeah yeah cool and all, but how about those cows on the hill? Awesomeness

[@chaser22081]

Caleb there book is hard af

[@nikker1985]

I just love the way the maestro keeps the beat with his drumsticks....I also love their dance.... And of course the small drum solo in the end.

[@JoshuaHemmings]

Who's Here in 2022!!! 10yr anniversary of one of the greatest lines and most fun books!

[@rimroka21]

I think the show was incredible. The show was incredibly well programmed, and even better executed. So they didn't beat us over the head with the most recognizable piece in western music for 11 minutes, the show design is next level. Congrats BD on 15, congrats on a fantastic season. When crown gets their feet in time (and a drumline), they can win a championship. They've got everything else going for them.

[@jimmypringosvr5154]

Mmm was this pre 2013 I see

[@theclash181]

This aged quite well @the crown thing

[@JoseValencia]

Awesome... Use to worship these guys in high school when I use to go to drumline competitions.

[@kateperednia8655]

Completely Impressive! We have a long history with Drum Corps, and really appreciate this awesome quality playing...TY

[@Synester102]

Oh my god..... holy shit, this was so damn clean, all visuals were sharp and together, no breaks. Just.... perfect.

[@damayer92]

BD percussion staff are geniuses. No way around it.

[@Thrillrider10]

Absolutely crazy stick work! Very well done!

[@ryanpwm-oldaccount5923]

Great recording. Thanks for the snare drum samples :)

[@DeeFaun]

Excellent. As I posted on Mel's site: Excellent, proud of all of them. Talented and clean cut, refreshing to see.

[@johmartylerevans7839]

Ayyy nick Arce (center snare) is my Drumline instructor.

[@nesnaj21]

I am going to see these guys in action in a few weeks! So stoked! Hopefully I will catch them in the lot, and get a video to share on KZbin!

[@cjfloyd869]

That meter change for the quads at 0:32 gives me the chills

[@wagglemonkey]

only matters what happened in the end... BD got wicked clean and had the best pit this year. a high drums award well won.

[@brianbrown293]

thanks for the link!!

[@heatherdawl1980]

Amazing! Absolutely awesome.

[@braveDM12]

around 2:25, i can totally see why they changed that soon after. it was so cool to watch and had a really nice groove to it, but it was very tricky and kinda dirty. but they added more solos so it doesnt feel so empty anymore

[@HE360]

This is going to be an interesting year

[@DrumLuv23]

I thought it was the line that had a lot of ticks, but now I'm realizing that the snares are tuned a lot wetter than I'm used to from the BD line. Still rocking. My fav. drumcorps to this day.

[@MVDrumline]

Snares sound so crispy!

[@RedNoizeNola]

Wow, bravo! Nice visuals and innovative speed transitions! It's a shame so many disrespectful comments on this video. They don't realize how many grueling hours on the hot sun it takes to get something this clean to come together. Either that or their just sore Phantom Regiment fans

[@benihanah]

I watched this on WIN...then I was like, "hey, that's Mt. Sac!" I come to KZbin and confirms it. DABBO' WIN! :D

[@Sea_moore]

Oh what a clever response. Your mother must be very proud of what her child has achieved.

[@elmdrumline2011]

One of the most known lines, but the best to me

[@drumpredator1]

YES!!! KEELAN IS BACK!!!

[@AvuryOctober007]

DAMN! You guys are good!

[@InflatablePlane]

TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT!!!!!!! Love it!!!

[@ajaiakaoaosnaiansjaoanskak]

OMG I recognized the background and knew it was MT SAC

[@zSlayer05]

The really sad part is people can't simply do what most of us want. Simply enjoy some cool beats by a good line.

[@caleblee6833]

this amazingly good

[@jrmbvn]

BD never gets old.

[@daddymilkdud]

it was at Mt. Sac (Mount San Antonio College) which is in the city of Walnut, CA. same thing...

[@DaXXPuniSHeR]

BRO the fucking sticks in after the giant break in the tenors. love it

[@onetakewednesdays]

oh i didn't know you were a dci judge thanks for the insight...

[@herdaberda2264]

yes that's him, Nick Acre. He marched BD Quads for 1 or 2 years before too

[@OBrienMagic]

are you referring to the battery section or the BD organization as a whole.

[@rikuantu]

Honestly i didn't understand the show that year but i surely love that line though. To it's the best bd line ever.

[@johnathancole1993]

I just saw the movie "Drumline" and i think each roll in that movie gave me a different kind of cancer. But now I''m here so its all good

[@jakubrox19]

Can anybody tell me the metric modulation that's being played at 0:32 by the tenors? The kinda slow part? Thanks.

[@awefi]

Coats battery was the fire this year. they were the only group to play a majority of their book in time.

[@bluemambaa]

"this is the part where the black guys show off" - Scojo

[@breathmusic]

lovin' the bass sound quality, what'd you film this on?

[@PhantomDrums917]

Just out of curiosity, are some of them wearing what looks like matching necklaces? What are those?

[@snazzymcnazmy]

i love theyre stripey pants cape thingys

[@muzakmaestro1574]

can anyone tell me whether the ones in the video are shallow cut or sonic tenors?

[@esond]

That one snare on the left has and amazing sunglasses tan.

[@84DrummerBoy]

haha 2:12 "oh keelan"

[@owensto1]

the solo at 2:08 is amazing. thats chops.

[@wya168]

Christmas can actually entertain an audience. Plus, Crown deserved to win, their show entertained and was piss clean.

[@TheTroyHagen]

What is the name of the fore arm roll the guy on the left does at 2:13!?!?!?!?!?

[@djcrazywhiteboy]

so early but soooooo good

[@rezqilangit]

...eeemm.. they,,,like a machine..awesome

[@202drummerboy]

the man with metronome sticks is very very very very awesome musician ... i see him through

[@Dwindleman]

so you are saying that was triplet quarters in a 4/4 bar? did you march do you have the music? i just counted 3 measures of 3/4 in that sequence. i could be wrong though. im gonna put this into finale.

[@Kidcalvidofficial]

is this a warmup or part of there show music. im guessing show music?

[@horsegirl6698]

This is Dukes drumline awesome

[@HOLDoFASToHOPE]

that's awesome.

[@farelalfaridzy5317]

it's so COOL....

[@joeblough4002]

Nice Job!!!

[@angellee3441]

Awesome! :-)

[@BSBINC1]

@ Chris Garay yes it was and he played a solo

[@TheLockHawk]

haha my brother from Surf took one of the snares hats.. He said, "He lost it in a bet" and gave it to me.. Don't think I wanna wear it anyways, probably super sweaty.. On another note.. amazing playing. :D

[@jakubrox19]

Yeah I saw it on snarescience, I don't know why I didn't catch it. It's BD so I just over thought it. Thanks though!

[@staffordspringer6553]

Anyone know where I can find the sheet music for this¿

[@gabrielvasquez5167]

snarescience in dci/wgi sheet music section under the blue devils the one transcribed by zachary borromeo is the best

[@jorgea6884]

Phantom in the background.

[@drum_corps_encyclopedia]

this is the opener for anyone who doesn't know

[@beastdrummer555]

yep! its probably under the Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps

[@Kia_Happy.]

憧れる…

[@cal8439]

where are the stationed

[@DrumChick2007]

I'm going to learn something like that on my snare drum!! And post it!!!

[@grain_death]

I believe he and the second snare from the left were tenors in RCC.

[@ShaMan54321]

@MrJoshualoney Yes I do think that was Phantom Regiment in the background. :)

[@xxzhoutaixx]

And yet they're the ones with the rings and actually marching, wha'd you do this summer? Also, they're not skirts they're half capes.

[@latrendat1]

because they practice as much as all other corps and when it comes to performance its all business to them so they go out have fun, please the judges(because thats really honestly the most important thing) and audience, and put all that emotion and power to their playing. you know why? because they win back to back. so obviously this corps doing something thats making those judges look at them.

[@jhonrox]

It's mostly because dut sounds roughly like a snare drum and you say it to warn the other people in your section that you're about to play and/or to keep time and make sure everyone is locked in.

[@HOLDoFASToHOPE]

just curious, how professional are you? like, did you go to Musician's institute and learn a lot from teachers, or is this a self proclaimed title?

[@inotreb]

Well done!

[@BZDrummer1]

yepp, ive seen transcriptions of the music, and the ACTUAL part to the music and its quarter note triplets in 4/4 time.

[@jeffabug8397]

Centre snare..wasnt he quads in his previous years?

[@drummersnare6276]

no

[@Reyes78]

YAY DRUMLINE

[@AntHill12790]

i only wish i could have gotten this good when i was in winter line.

[@virgil.alonso]

what part of the show is this?

[@ECUSnare]

I agree with thinking that Crown should be on top, but the fact that BD won (once again) is because their show as a corps was freakishly clean. They executed it VERY well. I didn't like seeing them win because it's a hard show to grasp, but their execution pushed them to the top.

[@khoiruify]

nice... i like it...

[@kawaiikitty1990]

すげぇ！かっこいい～！萌え～！

[@FAST98cabrera]

Yeah!

[@steeliho]

Kevin Hart dominating some quads!

[@poopmcdoopdoop]

"uploaded on jul 8, 2012" The actual date this was played was june 30.. It says so in the description :o

[@jsk8drummer]

I agree to an extent but Bluecoats really deserved it this year. Only explanation is BDs front ensemble won it for them because Coat's battery was definitely cleaner.

[@monkeyrilla]

Hell yeah, preach

[@CincoSnare76]

Agreed.

[@Magucci13]

Not sure if it's just the audio or what, but for the blue devil's that sounded pretty damn dirty

[@drummersnare6276]

its the audio

[@TriquetaRaven]

If you could play at the same level as people who have been practicing most of their lives and auditioned to be in one of THE best drum corps in the nation, I'd truly call you a genius. But you probably can't.

[@BZDrummer1]

No problem dude!

[@iOpacity]

I can't even comment on a bad entrance on any of the phrases, because I can only half-fathom how fucking difficult it'd be to learn this shit.

[@kamipt]

awesome

[@landofthedead09]

Yes. They are good. But how are the trumpets?...

[@CleanIsClean]

yep
