2016 Crossmen Drum and Bugle Corps Drumline warming up in the lot at the DCI World Championships in Indianapolis, IN.

The Crossmen were great this year and meant BUSINESS!!!

[@gentrywalker]

Can Innovative please invest in a microphone that doesn't make everything sound like it was recorded with a flip phone?

[@gbass598]

The IP lots videos this year make me sea sick because the camera never stays still long enough to focus on anything.

[@AznAfroMan513]

exactly my thoughts

[@AnthonyVu]

Agreed.

[@evanb.6150]

A strange thing to focus on, but the paint on the drums look so realistic. The cubes are just popping out.

[@somericanguy]

I got a wicked headache from you guys constantly moving the camera and it's failure to focus right away. Please keep it still next time

[@suburbantimptoms93]

Great lookin' hands, likemike!!!!

[@braydn8277]

2:14 that dab 🔥

[@matthewwolfe1639]

Mark Thurston lick spotted at 2:05 ala Crossmen from the 90's.

[@patrickguyum]

I beg for a stabilizer, no motion blur, and to actually look at a section for more than 5 seconds.

[@codypatterson3884]

For 160 the new Apple air pods better make this sound like Vic Firths videos

[@micah_drums]

+Innovative Percussion What model of sticks/mallets do the Crossmen use?

[@innovativepercussion]

The Crossmen used FS-MMs for the snares, FS-JCs and TS-MMs for the tenors, and FBX 1-5 for the bassline!

[@samrovito3694]

in the course of 9 minutes, crossmen's snare tuning showed me that god is real

[@j.cordero6965]

Sam Rovito I know, there fricken gorgeous, I love a good tight snare!

[@Ninja4ssassin10]

Haha I think it's the opposite. They sound loose as heck to me

[@MrTyranitar15]

Trevy They're Remo so it's kind of hard to make them sound tuned tightly. Plus, it could just be the camera they used to record with

[@jordankracus8143]

The Bottom heads were tuned to either a C or D, can't remember and the tops slightly lower so they weren't super cranked or loose

[@Falcon2.39-1]

2:05

[@jacksonweinberg3544]

What was the story behind their show this year?

[@jordankracus8143]

It was just about the continuation of ideas that are the same but slightly different. It was more of concept show than a story driven show.

[@j.cordero6965]

Jordan Kracus Concept shows are always so much better then the stupid narrations and stuff. Just my opinion.

[@JacobHalfman]

Heres a tip for next year. Shoot in either 30 or 60fps, not 24 because thats terrible for action shots.
