Boston Crusaders Drumline 2024

Early season warmup on June 28th of the Boston Crusader 2024 Drumline in Muncie, Indiana.

Pretty expressive and clean for this early! Boston has become the new standard for battery writing.

[@TheShahtariq]

if not writing, certainly playing

[@tim.noonan]

@@TheShahtariqThis is more accurate. A lot of other groups are performing more innovative compositions, but BAC has planted its flag in ‘We will play ALL the notes’ territory, and does that better than any other group right now. I love that there’s still room in the activity for this kind of writing.

[@omz31]

@@tim.noonanthis is the result of the mind of an old school legend’s approach to drumming blending with contemporary flash. I’m here for it! Between McNutt, Kuhn, and Rennick, we’re in for a great season of drummin’!

[@Uncle_Yam]

I feel like they took the difficulty from an 11 to a 10 and it's a lot more achievable this year - rooting for them

[@JasonTella_Drums]

Agreed

[@JasonTella_Drums]

@@Uncle_Yam they’re still KILLING it though

I remember that

[@Brockstar]

This was super clean, the beats are sick AF. Can't wait to see where this one goes! 🔥🔥🔥

The drum 2 buzz at 2:02 lasts longer than I do 😭

[@jjkeesler657]

getting better and better every time i’ve seen them, saw the vic firth video and saw them at rockford on the field and in the lot and it’s gotten a lot better even since then

[@bossnation2804]

Boston is consistently amazing.. such hard workers over there

[@honestabe5331]

Best quality I've heard so far this early in the season. Nice!!!

[@SS2Balls]

Hope they can take percussion this year

[@omz31]

Then you don’t want to see what SCV is throwing down 😳 Boston is sounding good though! Minor discrepancies on the low end stuff, but they are cruisin 😎

[@CBeauford5]

@@omz31 I feel like BD is the one to look out for tbh....and that is from someone who would love to see BAC win

[@omz31]

@@CBeauford5 true. Let’s just hope we get some good drumming from everyone ☺️

[@SS2Balls]

@@omz31 yeah their crazy good. Its like they never left bruh

[@EricTheMusicNerd]

Oh boy, I think it's gonna be another good season for BC. LFG!

[@ryancox5097]

Best battery in the activity.

[@buckdacious]

Just so much tastiness!!

[@skitzoeinhoven]

My impressions of the book: I think what makes this composition so unique is the notational demand. With the squeezing of so many notes out at that tempo, the demand means that the energy in their hands are focused on playing with control at lower heights. When played with a defined and uniformed approach at those heights, the ornamental notes can finally be heard making it a novel kind of musical clarity within marching percussion.

man said everything and nothing and the same time

[@TheMokeleMbembe]

4:58 nice touch, snares

[@RVVDont]

I don't know if I'd be wrong in saying but it looks like a LOT of new faces. I recognize maybe 2 snares, a bass player and 1 of the quads.

[@ZhenrongGaoleng]

Snare got 3 vet

[@RHG_Music]

McNutt fanboy since 2014 reporting for comment duty

[@marklower007]

Sweet Jesus babeezus. Bd isn't even half as clean at the moment. Boston is throwing down!!

[@WiddleyTV]

Rockin'

[@Luke-gw2qg]

Are reaction videos coming soon?

[@agedoutpodcast]

Yup. They’ll start coming out this week

[@drumcatnau]

Are we all not going to talk about how big that guy's feet are?

[@jt_plays_drums]

HPB!

[@Brockstar]

Where's Jovanna??

[@agedoutpodcast]

Not sure, we don’t know if she aged out, or maybe just taking a summer off.

[@user-rv6oy7vy3o]

She just graduated college and decided not to come back this year

[@Brockstar]

@@agedoutpodcast IIRC, she had two years left. She did an extensive interview with another YT channel last year and DCI seemed to be a big passion - specifically, she was talking about being brought in young to be a long-term section leader. I know she's playing with her college who just played at Boston Celtics halftime shows but that's long over.

[@greggchaffin1596]

@@Brockstarthings come up and other opportunities may have presented themselves, like a summer internship possibly. DCI is great but she’s participated several years now and might’ve also wanted a summer for herself.
