Bluecoats 2015 Drumline - Flam Jam

[@FirestormAudio]

I know this is about the drumline, but the kick and snare on that kit sound amazing.

[@griffisdead4225]

Ben Funk I know right

[@tiyenin]

Why does this coach do that? Seems self-aggrandizing.

[@jasono3679]

@@tiyenin do you mean play the drum set? It's so that the drumline can have a metronome without actually having to use one because a drumset sounds cooler.

[@ez8308]

@@tiyenin He is the percussion head. He is a professional drummer, and this is just his thing. He has been in the activity a very long time, he was a drummer at BD and then taught there after marching, until he ended up at BC. Definitely not a selfish thing.. that's just something unique that he does for his drumline. He played the set at BD as well when he was teaching

[@acousticfoam4184]

Bass 5 might as well be hitting a tarp

[@DanielMakesCadences]

Bloo tunes their basses pretty high so there’s probably good enough rebound to do rolls

[@lightningmcqueenfanpage4103]

Daniel Makes Cadences true but any roll on a bass bigger then bass 2 is hard

[@averybondeson3322]

@@TheNathannator And on a drum where not only is there no tension, but the vibrations of the head start fighting back against the mallet

[@TheNathannator]

@@averybondeson3322 I'm pretty sure there is tension on the bass drum: if there wasn't, it wouldn't be able to vibrate or be played in general. (Have you ever hit a non-tensioned drum? It kills the momentum from the stick/mallet and probably damages the head. It's like hitting a pillow with a stick, but not quite as bounceless.) Not sure about the head fighting against the mallet, but that doesn't make sense either.

bass 5... hell yeah.

[@dombrowskirt]

Pay attention to the way they interact with each other. Take note of how each player seems to build off of the other in what they’re playing to make a full and complex beat. Also take note of eye contact and fluid hand motion. Drum set is also nice touch.
