[@TGX_joelmartin]

Their white rims always look great

Rip

[@SilverTheFlame]

First 8s deccelerando is sick

[@DatGuyWithNoName]

They tricked me haha, I thought they were dragging the tempo and I was all like "come on y'all..."

[@flip034]

DatGuyWithNoName For a line at this level, that is impossible.

[@Bobobo-bo-bo-bobobo]

It's so clean. The hand switches had the same exact tone

[@alexneagu8212]

Yes

[@benbillowitch9163]

Please upload more and longer videos like this! They're very helpful

[@benjamincervantes2729]

Some of these cats have highly developed brachioradialis'. Crazy.

[@steampunkhulk5559]

Wut

[@sebeon-27]

steampunk hulk it’s a muscle in the arm

[@SilverTheFlame]

Benjamin Cervantes Brachioradialis* ;)

[@TheLilmike248]

Love the tuning all around! Especially the playing 😎👍

[@scottsnyder8793]

Sean's hands always look so good and relaxed 😍

[@benjamincervantes2729]

Scott Snyder honestly yes. His hands looks super soft and controlled. High key jelly.

[@CBW_MT]

This is the way

[@Brian-rj1un]

i love it! first female drum tech/director for drumline ive seen

[@bryanwalter4438]

Isn't it crazy that there are some people who have never visited the drumline/DCI corner of KZbin!

[@Defnotken]

isn’t it crazy that there are tons of people that have never visited the hbcu band corner of youtube?

[@bernie9543]

KenGuapo no because people aren’t interested in the 2 different styles

[@flip034]

KenGuapo I personally dislike the style

[@warrior995]

They will be missed.

[@Dwightt101]

4:23 good ole Sam

[@dannymcgowan6164]

Im trying to figure out if the 8s is metered or just all ears... its crazy

[@ivangonzalez5720]

It's honestly probably all ear

[@Tn0213]

It was all ear!

[@dannymcgowan6164]

Lewis Renegar Thats really well done!

[@Tn0213]

We appreciate the love! 🙏

[@jonconnorsmusic4940]

Can someone tell me where to find sheets for the exercise at 4:30

[@maizeorn8529]

Jon Connors Music look up broken city’s audition packet and you’ll find most of their warmups

[@Fishermhm]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGindZ55qLylaNE Right here, though it may be 6 months late.

[@Kamii_o]

Most of the snare line don't even have their index finger on the stick sometimes. I was always taught to keep that finger on at all times. Is there any benefit to taking it off sometimes?

[@rngrs2k179]

Shmimmie_San Less tension in the front of the hand (and what you see a lot of drumset players do) and personally I don’t even use the pointer, and by doing so I’ve shifted my fulcrum closer to the back of the hand and it encourages more use of the back fingers

[@Kamii_o]

@@rngrs2k179 Woah that's some good info to absorb thanks for telling me

[@malditobandito98]

Shmimmie_San Top comment pretty much answered it. I also drop my index finger when I jump on a set of quads. I remember my old high school drum tech telling me that if she was to lose her index finger, she’d still be able to play just fine with 4 fingers. I recommend trying it to see how it changes your approach :)

[@reesefleming1829]

is so personal choice

[@Tn0213]

It's not an intentional "look" in any means. When this staff was at bk, they loved to talk a lot about the overall usage of the whole hand, and how we can apply all appropriate muscle groupings to the sound. The openness you see in the hands is simply just us allowing the fulcrum point to breathe, and to allow the stick to vibrate. It's not a thing we do intentionally. It can just sometimes come with the relaxation

[@docrecker1]

Love it!!!!

[@tstew258]

Me at the start of the video: "wait what kind of bass tuning is... oh."

[@justinjohnson4278]

Haha I thought the same thing, was like "damn Mapex basses sound even Wacker than I though"

[@tristanmarks609]

what’s the name of the exercise at 1:30

[@Tn0213]

Decay

[@CWJohnFate]

Wait......... Since when did they share the same exercises as Broken City????? (I might have just made myself look dumb but I’m honestly curious)

[@wilsonbondarchuk9805]

Caden Williams I think mike Jackson works for them so yeah they share a lot of exercises I could be wrong

[@paulmccrea6742]

Fun fact: Mike Jackson started at Blue Knights, but then in 2016 he basically founded Broken City. So technically, Broken City has the exercises as Blue Knights, because BK was first

[@CWJohnFate]

Woah... that’s freakin cool!!! Thanks guys!

[@CBW_MT]

I used to live there, I would’ve went to that highschool if I stayed

[@mel-px7hl]

Eric freaking Hinton

[@EricHintonJr]

❤️

[@ThatGuy-gr8rg]

That guys looks suspiciously too much like that other ginger from blue devils 2019

[@Tn0213]

Lol, what's hilarious is he's one of my great friends

[@bernie9543]

Lewis Renegar gingers stick together 👀

[@jalenpappe8643]

Is that all just listening in at the beginning??

[@Tn0213]

Yes!

[@Prof.CheeseDog]

@@Tn0213 The exercise is cool, but are the benefits of that really worth the time it took to clean?

[@Tn0213]

This is a great question man! I totally see where you're coming from. It was never about cleaning it. It was something we learned and put together in literally 10 minutes. The purpose and intent of that exercise was to be used as a rehearsal warmup to wake up the ears for the day. We never used it in public, etc. It was extremely beneficial and helpful for allowing our ears to find our unison blend to help kick off the day. We used it all summer! Just behind the scenes. Helped a ton!

[@Prof.CheeseDog]

@@Tn0213 that's interesting. Yeah I should have known it would be easy for a group like the blue knights to execute something like that. Damn I wish drum corps wasn't cancelled right now

[@Tn0213]

It certainly was challenging! It became easier over time as we got more used to the system of it. Appreciate the love! Stay safe

[@Tn0213]

We ran out of time that morning! Big regional day. Sometimes reps have to be shorter than usual 🤘

[@xxflashxxgamer1038]

Lewis Renegar feels bad man

[@fernandoballin8746]

didn’t mike jackson leave bk!?

[@mylesthomas9333]

This was his last season with them he recently left

[@johnsea3615]

Myles Thomas do you know where he is going?

[@mylesthomas9333]

@@johnsea3615 he is not writing for anybody for Dci for the time being. He is acting as a battery consultant for BAC which means he doesnt get to write anything for them they just ask for his advice.

[@yairsalazar3855]

Yea actually all the staff left at BK

[@maizeorn8529]

Yair Salazar y tho 😪
