DCI FINALS 2018 || Mandarins

[@aaronlong6260]

BK and Mandarins’ drums sound great. Mapex has this rich sound I’m digging.

[@gagemartin4681]

Congrats to the Mandarins for such a successful season!

[@acousticfoam4184]

[@ethangrubb8318]

With this show being dark it only makes sense for the snare book to be ‘edgy’ HA

[@YoBoyCav]

2:21 blue knights lol?

[@1whoDoesSimply]

Was that our man Zack Borromeo?

[@JaimeHernandez-bj2sd]

HydrAquas I think that was 😂

[@BZDrummer1]

Yeah these guys were good

[@octane_dv7056]

Zach Borromeo you are now my hero. I envy you.

[@the.alexkim]

Looking at this and 19 compared to 22 and 23, 18 and 19 are so much better

[@That_Guy4381]

4:32 your welcome

[@mb2268]

So clean that snare break is!

[@CamxCam.]

_Sommmebody_ isn't playing in the center of their head! I cannot unsee it.

[@Uncle_Yam]

Can someone point out some examples of dirt? This line seems super underrated to me - it just seems like snare to quad alignment can be worked on and of course any rim clicks and random dirty rolls in the quads

[@chrisschuff9593]

hey i see me in the back

[@reyes6498]

I think always cool to see a girl snare drummer in the line. Way to go kalise.

[@quarter_bob]

nice!

[@Inspadave]

Bass line was great, but the rest of it is ZZZZzzzz.....

[@averybondeson3322]

Man, you must hate fun or something. This was a really well written book. Just because their not firing all the time and showing off their chops the whole show doesn't make it a boring book

[@Severen45]

@@averybondeson3322 For me it's not the book. It's just not clear, something about Mapex has always made lines sound dirty even during finals. But this line (especially the snares) on this recording just sound like fuzz. No real clarity of rhythms, interp is kinda all over the place on the roughs. They are great line for the most part. But no where near the level of clarity of the upper top 12 and previous years.

[@averybondeson3322]

@@Severen45 I guess I see what you're saying. I don't really think Mapex has anything to do with it. I guess I jt don't understand why it matters so much to people who aren't in that drumline if they sound good or not. I thought they did really well and that the drums sound fine. No point in critiquing something that isn't gonna be fixed

[@quarter_bob]

late to defend my drumline here but the purpose of the book was to fit the show. the mandarins have always been big picture focussed. after all, we were trying to get the entire corps into the top 12, not just a caption. our lots aren't judged, which is why i never understood everyone's 2 cents about any drumline in any lot. we weren't a very "lot skilled" drumline. all throughout 2017 and 2018, we just couldn't get ourselves to that level in the lot. but god damn did we show up to drum sometimes on the field. the catch was though we didn't have a book trying to win drums, we had a book that made sense from a full ensemble mix stand point. feel how you feel about the book or our performance, but we drummed on saturday night for the first time in history and no one can take that from me or the rest of my drumline.
