My boy Harv got dem boys right 🔥🔥

[@TheDean757]

NC A&T and Norfolk State are my favorite lines because they blend both styles perfectly together.

[@yourboymalikcoleman8731]

We need more hbcu coverage

[@yungtwiz]

thank you for covering HBCU drumming

[@MrAceboi09]

I must say when I first started watching NCAT I thought it was a bit much. I can honestly say these dude are super clean from top to bottom, stick flashes and tricks are fire, and super choppy. I am now a fan of this drum line!!

[@tylermcintyre1454]

Tyler Mac Aggie pride

[@joelcurrie3582]

I was a bass drum player back in my day always had mad respect for A&T drum line

[@jessebrooks1991]

That escalated quickly!

[@lucasalvir5276]

I'm Brazilian but I love school and university bands in the United States, they're one of the very different bands for me, I'm really enjoying the video

[@lilfloydshivers8237]

The snares are sick with their sticking and timing get it. I would love to hear the bass drums a little more bring the true bass. I used to play the bass drum and I made sure my bass line put some boom into it.

[@cjone138]

This group is incredibly talented. Some of these snare licks are so sick! Who's working on the transcriptions?!

[@ronpaiva6066]

I honestly don't think that anybody outside of MD can deal w/ these cats. The gap widens between #2 and #3.

facts

[@icecold27406]

Right!!! 💯And Jackson State Drumline think they can hang with us?......Nah bruh. F.A.O.D.

[@zaishaw6602]

MDF$, Steel, Sudden impact are my top 3. A&T my number 1 because of how versatile they are. They do both styles very well

[@fjones2202]

@@zaishaw6602 mines as well but MDFS is 1st and Steel is 2nd

[@itwasbetterwithhats820]

⁠​⁠@@icecold27406that’s one that disappoints me when I see some of the trad lines. They’re crushing on an individual level. However, on the ensemble side, I think the style itself doesn’t showcase what those kids are fully capable of. It’s crazy because most of the best hands I’ve seen have been from those types of lines.

[@blacknloud4002]

There is NO SUCH Thing as Better Than This Drumline!

[@MichaelA.Love_]

Love it

[@wes_azdrummer93]

Damn they killed it

[@zoomlensshow]

Aye my boy Mark gettin it 🤣

[@TellyWoodley-fu1zm]

Tough. 💪🏾

[@dougfunk1667]

Tight line! Impressive as heck

[@pasogaupo9027]

I often wonder if Morris Brown never went through what they went through and A&T transformed into who they are now I wonder who would give the best show because I see Stick Sensation in all the new and previous material

[@dburt215]

Everybody wanna play with a lower pitched snare sound now I see

[@TheDean757]

@5:19

[@MicahtheDrumCorpsPseudoboomer]

Are the snare drums using mylar heads?

[@si1995gtnupe1997]

Remo’s White Max.

[@tylermcintyre1454]

Tyler Mac hurry up y’all get in the line

[@CalebDaThing]

HBCU 🫶

[@CrimsonEagle45]

Nice Line

[@Ivan-qg6sb]

3:28, tempo slowed???

[@bigbromj4]

yes it did to go into another cadence it was on purpose

[@Ivan-qg6sb]

@@bigbromj4 what’s is that cadence called that’s slowing down

[@wormyG22]

Them splits/Tonals have been disappointed ever since y'all gotta new one no shade I'm just saying🤷🏽‍♂️

[@AgentK4006]

She’s a freshman she’ll be nice next season

[@AgentK4006]

They gotta cross into the line before they’re allowed to improvise the tonals

[@wormyG22]

@@AgentK4006 they just crossed

[@AgentK4006]

@@wormyG22 Ik like I said she gotta get a feel for it bro

[@ROCKNROLLFAN]

They're GOOD but showy. A guy that I used to work with 21 YEARS AGO told me that you should take pride in what you do but not because you're GOOD.

[@treesnclips5845]

At hbcu games it’s about the show. We go for band not the game the price of admission is the band and line. No one goes to pwi games for the band

[@pfunkbro]

They so corny and Hollywood 😂😂😂 Can you please put some funk on it!!!! Just a little would be nice. I don’t see the hype with this line. I’m not impressed at all.. they look like they say “Hey guys” instead of “what’s up mayne” 😂😂😂

[@arethabestmktg]

@pfunkbro you sound ignorant🤣🤣🤣

[@pizzamanz9120]

booooooo 🍅🍅 they fye and u soundin a lil salty🤭

[@AgentK4006]

This not their only material shut the entire fuck up 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@itwasbetterwithhats820]

You mean like late 90s early 2000s T.
