Blue Devils Drumline 2012 in the lot

[@Kevn_DJ]

Keelan: "Is it my year to be center??" Scojo: "Yes, on second thought lets make center tenor center snare this year.." Keelan: -__-

[@adrianramirez4884]

Blue devils yeah yeah cool and all, but how about those cows on the hill? Awesomeness

[@chaser22081]

Caleb there book is hard af

[@rimroka21]

I think the show was incredible. The show was incredibly well programmed, and even better executed. So they didn't beat us over the head with the most recognizable piece in western music for 11 minutes, the show design is next level. Congrats BD on 15, congrats on a fantastic season. When crown gets their feet in time (and a drumline), they can win a championship. They've got everything else going for them.

[@jimmypringosvr5154]

Mmm was this pre 2013 I see

[@xGoldriever]

This aged quite well @the crown thing

[@nikker1985]

I just love the way the maestro keeps the beat with his drumsticks....I also love their dance.... And of course the small drum solo in the end.

[@JoshuaHemmings]

Who's Here in 2022!!! 10yr anniversary of one of the greatest lines and most fun books!

[@Percussion-clips]

2025

[@kateperednia8655]

Completely Impressive! We have a long history with Drum Corps, and really appreciate this awesome quality playing...TY

[@JoseValencia]

Awesome... Use to worship these guys in high school when I use to go to drumline competitions.

[@Synester102]

Oh my god..... holy shit, this was so damn clean, all visuals were sharp and together, no breaks. Just.... perfect.

[@wagglemonkey]

only matters what happened in the end... BD got wicked clean and had the best pit this year. a high drums award well won.

[@johmartylerevans7839]

Ayyy nick Arce (center snare) is my Drumline instructor.

[@cjfloyd869]

That meter change for the quads at 0:32 gives me the chills

[@DeeFaun]

Excellent. As I posted on Mel's site: Excellent, proud of all of them. Talented and clean cut, refreshing to see.

[@damayer92]

BD percussion staff are geniuses. No way around it.

[@RedNoizeNola]

Wow, bravo! Nice visuals and innovative speed transitions! It's a shame so many disrespectful comments on this video. They don't realize how many grueling hours on the hot sun it takes to get something this clean to come together. Either that or their just sore Phantom Regiment fans

[@Sea_moore]

Oh what a clever response. Your mother must be very proud of what her child has achieved.

[@ryanpwm-oldaccount5923]

Great recording. Thanks for the snare drum samples :)

[@DrumLuv23]

I thought it was the line that had a lot of ticks, but now I'm realizing that the snares are tuned a lot wetter than I'm used to from the BD line. Still rocking. My fav. drumcorps to this day.

[@nesnaj21]

I am going to see these guys in action in a few weeks! So stoked! Hopefully I will catch them in the lot, and get a video to share on KZbin!

[@braveDM12]

around 2:25, i can totally see why they changed that soon after. it was so cool to watch and had a really nice groove to it, but it was very tricky and kinda dirty. but they added more solos so it doesnt feel so empty anymore

[@zSlayer05]

The really sad part is people can't simply do what most of us want. Simply enjoy some cool beats by a good line.

[@elmdrumline2011]

One of the most known lines, but the best to me

[@herdaberda2264]

yes that's him, Nick Acre. He marched BD Quads for 1 or 2 years before too

[@johnathancole1993]

I just saw the movie "Drumline" and i think each roll in that movie gave me a different kind of cancer. But now I''m here so its all good

[@onetakewednesdays]

oh i didn't know you were a dci judge thanks for the insight...

[@ShiroArctic]

Absolutely crazy stick work! Very well done!

[@awefi]

Coats battery was the fire this year. they were the only group to play a majority of their book in time.

[@MVDrumline]

Snares sound so crispy!

[@TobiasxMoore]

Blue Devils and Crown are the two best DCI bands I've come across in a long time.

[@redrabbit3]

Drum Corps not Bands

[@benihanah]

I watched this on WIN...then I was like, "hey, that's Mt. Sac!" I come to KZbin and confirms it. DABBO' WIN! :D

[@Henry_GamesX]

This is going to be an interesting year

[@ajaiakaoaosnaiansjaoanskak]

OMG I recognized the background and knew it was MT SAC

[@daddymilkdud]

it was at Mt. Sac (Mount San Antonio College) which is in the city of Walnut, CA. same thing...

[@drumpredator1]

YES!!! KEELAN IS BACK!!!

[@jrmbvn]

BD never gets old.

[@brianbrown293]

thanks for the link!!

[@latrendat1]

because they practice as much as all other corps and when it comes to performance its all business to them so they go out have fun, please the judges(because thats really honestly the most important thing) and audience, and put all that emotion and power to their playing. you know why? because they win back to back. so obviously this corps doing something thats making those judges look at them.

[@rikuantu]

Honestly i didn't understand the show that year but i surely love that line though. To it's the best bd line ever.

[@DaXXPuniSHeR]

BRO the fucking sticks in after the giant break in the tenors. love it

[@BSBINC1]

@ Chris Garay yes it was and he played a solo

[@esond]

That one snare on the left has and amazing sunglasses tan.

[@jhonrox]

It's mostly because dut sounds roughly like a snare drum and you say it to warn the other people in your section that you're about to play and/or to keep time and make sure everyone is locked in.

[@flabaman44]

Christmas can actually entertain an audience. Plus, Crown deserved to win, their show entertained and was piss clean.

[@jsk8drummer]

I agree to an extent but Bluecoats really deserved it this year. Only explanation is BDs front ensemble won it for them because Coat's battery was definitely cleaner.

[@bluemambaa]

"this is the part where the black guys show off" - Scojo

[@heatherdawl1980]

Amazing! Absolutely awesome.

[@drum_corps_encyclopedia]

this is the opener for anyone who doesn't know

[@ECUSnare]

I agree with thinking that Crown should be on top, but the fact that BD won (once again) is because their show as a corps was freakishly clean. They executed it VERY well. I didn't like seeing them win because it's a hard show to grasp, but their execution pushed them to the top.

[@poopmcdoopdoop]

"uploaded on jul 8, 2012" The actual date this was played was june 30.. It says so in the description :o

[@owensto1]

the solo at 2:08 is amazing. thats chops.

[@VvLOGiKvV]

Was fine for me. May be a problem with you flash settings. Try turning off acceleration, or whatever it's called.

[@TheLockHawk]

haha my brother from Surf took one of the snares hats.. He said, "He lost it in a bet" and gave it to me.. Don't think I wanna wear it anyways, probably super sweaty.. On another note.. amazing playing. :D

[@84DrummerBoy]

haha 2:12 "oh keelan"

[@beastdrummer555]

yep! its probably under the Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps

[@jakubrox19]

Yeah I saw it on snarescience, I don't know why I didn't catch it. It's BD so I just over thought it. Thanks though!

[@xxzhoutaixx]

And yet they're the ones with the rings and actually marching, wha'd you do this summer? Also, they're not skirts they're half capes.

[@Magucci13]

Not sure if it's just the audio or what, but for the blue devil's that sounded pretty damn dirty

[@drummersnare6276]

its the audio

[@TriquetaRaven]

If you could play at the same level as people who have been practicing most of their lives and auditioned to be in one of THE best drum corps in the nation, I'd truly call you a genius. But you probably can't.

[@th3av3ragejo3]

Can you please share something you consider good? i used to drum and personally i thought that was awesome and showed some real talent

[@MariahMiramontes1722]

i wanna join the drumline!!! but im terrified to audition :(

[@KSWarrior8]

*cough* undefeated 15 *cough* Nah. You just have to understand the concept behind their show. It was based off of the Dada movement, which occurred in the early-20th century. It poked fun at modern art at the time and many people hate it. If you hate it, that's what the designers wanted you to do: hate it. Like many others did during the actual Dada art movement.

[@grain_death]

I believe he and the second snare from the left were tenors in RCC.

[@HOLDoFASToHOPE]

just curious, how professional are you? like, did you go to Musician's institute and learn a lot from teachers, or is this a self proclaimed title?

[@caleblee6833]

this amazingly good

[@OBrienMagic]

are you referring to the battery section or the BD organization as a whole.

[@202drummerboy]

the man with metronome sticks is very very very very awesome musician ... i see him through

[@jorgea6884]

Phantom in the background.

[@InflatablePlane]

TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT!!!!!!! Love it!!!

[@DrumChick2007]

I'm going to learn something like that on my snare drum!! And post it!!!

[@breathmusic]

lovin' the bass sound quality, what'd you film this on?

[@Dwindleman]

so you are saying that was triplet quarters in a 4/4 bar? did you march do you have the music? i just counted 3 measures of 3/4 in that sequence. i could be wrong though. im gonna put this into finale.

[@landofthedead09]

Yes. They are good. But how are the trumpets?...

[@TheKocoka]

You're own dislike for the show is what skyrocketed BD straight to the top this season. I think someone's already explained it to you.

[@AvuryOctober007]

DAMN! You guys are good!

[@BZDrummer1]

/watch?v=lWdjM618CBU watch that. After this lot warmup, they perform their full approx. 10 minute show with their corps. This is just a sample of their show. And as you can see the quads and basses are wearing their drums and marching, and they are as well going in time with the drum majors hands. This is Drum Corps not Show band.

[@jakubrox19]

Can anybody tell me the metric modulation that's being played at 0:32 by the tenors? The kinda slow part? Thanks.

[@JeDeSoN2]

High Percussion... High Percussion everywhere.

[@horsegirl6698]

This is Dukes drumline awesome

[@sumbooodeeee]

BRO ON JULY 1st THEY WERE IN RIVERSIDE.. NOT MT SAC

[@21trickcirt121]

you do realize this was more than a month ago

[@TheTroyHagen]

What is the name of the fore arm roll the guy on the left does at 2:13!?!?!?!?!?

[@zRhid]

glad they changed part of this, it would've never been clean

[@muzakmaestro1574]

can anyone tell me whether the ones in the video are shallow cut or sonic tenors?

[@ShaMan54321]

@MrJoshualoney Yes I do think that was Phantom Regiment in the background. :)

[@johnstone6764]

im gonna say it goes into 3/4 with quarter notes grouped in quartets.

[@jeffabug8397]

Centre snare..wasnt he quads in his previous years?

[@drummersnare6276]

no

[@ericm9407]

@@drummersnare6276 yes he was

[@PhantomDrums917]

Just out of curiosity, are some of them wearing what looks like matching necklaces? What are those?

[@snazzymcnazmy]

i love theyre stripey pants cape thingys

[@Kidcalvidofficial]

is this a warmup or part of there show music. im guessing show music?

[@cliftonhodges5969]

ahhhh that poor baseline was barely encluded it's whatever tho they still killed it

[@drummingrhinoz6946]

Clifton Hodges I was a bass player and I feel they don't get the credit they deserve

[@beyou997]

Baseline never gets credit or chances to do things 😬😂 -2nd base player

[@bubbachin342]

I don't get why people still bash them and think that SCV should've won. Look at early season videos and then look at Finals and Champs night. SCV was hot during the beginning of the season but they plateaued like a month into the season. The top 4 corps started out descent and then kept progressing through the season. And then at Finals night SCV was dirty as hell. BD deserved their win so don't dog them because they are "only the most shown off corps." They're just better this year...

[@snaredude10]

The camera makes the snares sound real wet..its still a great video(:

[@joshtolentino5863]

Didnt center snare play quads the year before?

[@hithere327]

From 2009-2011

[@AntHill12790]

i only wish i could have gotten this good when i was in winter line.

[@johnwade6999]

is nick arce going to be snare this year

[@BZDrummer1]

yepp, ive seen transcriptions of the music, and the ACTUAL part to the music and its quarter note triplets in 4/4 time.

[@johnythanj]

never, he aged out this past season

[@cal8439]

where are the stationed

[@jarrettvarnadoe5929]

Am I the only one who noticed Keelan's pinky stick out at the end of his solo?

[@thebluedevilfromheaven5256]

His pinky had a cramp in the middle of his solo so he was stretching it out.

[@jarrettvarnadoe5929]

*insert The More You Know meme*

[@Ayayron_e3]

+Jarrett Varnadoe why does it matter if his pinky sticks out or not...

[@pasta_heals]

(it doesn't)

[@blublob0147]

Not being able to join a drum core in the future is the ONLY reason I don't like being a woodwind. Other than that......jasper low reed swag all the way!!!

[@flabaman44]

heh i was somewhere in this video in half uniform behind the quads
