Drum Feature

[@DevanteWright-h2d]

The best feature ever hands down nobody could top this squad 07 was a goated year for sudden impact

[@thatguyoverthere6743]

I can't believe how clear this looked, watching this on KZbin in 2006.

[@krumpboiruthless]

i luv dis video BCC waz on point people can hate all dey want Sudden Impact iz tight!!! a i heard yal were a university dis year. welll cant wait 2 c yal do it up @ da Gotham City Invitational on Saturday i'll b on second tonal 4 northwest halifax

[@MrScubasteve01]

Best feature of all time...

[@samuelsmith7864]

2015 would give this a run for your money, but my all time favorite was the 2003 feature.. yall gave life to every percussion section out there with that one

[@rhssnare]

Wow, this is awesome. I am a corps style snare drummer, and I must say, I have a lot of respect for the Bethune Cookman drumline. This drumline is one of the most skilled, clean, and entertaining drumlines I have ever seen!

[@Khousedrummer]

Yo real talk, dat right there was crackin. This drumline is da truth.

[@mrfamu]

man im a rattler but i have to give it up to them the sudden impact florida boyz

[@RANSOMPAIDFOR]

I LOVE THAT DIAMOND INTRO!!!!!

[@hypnotiqdom]

I was mad I had to be in the back while they were doing this... but I got the DVD so i'm good. All the hating, why is it necessary? Well when you hate, i see we're doing our job correctly!

[@Bobofwestoregonusa]

It's the style, chest toner has more of a pang while leg had a boom to it.

[@EducatedG5]

sudden impact go hard

[@fobulousfl1p]

hell yes. its all about dci.

[@franzswa]

I understand what you are saying as well senteiwane. The BCU drumline is a great drumline. I have had the opportunity to listen to the entire band as a whole. I must say that FAMU could nolonger carry the title as the best HBCU band in Florida. But I cant reiterate enough that while BCU drumline is good. Their snares don't have the crisp sound as a drumline should. Some people on the snare line are not playing their rudiments correctly. That is why their rolls sound like popcorn popping.

[@franzswa]

seteiwane, about the side tenors, that is old. Drumlines were using that more than twenty years ago. That is old and outdated these days. The Quints (tenors) are currently used in it's place. Most drumlines today use the Five Tonal bases, Three to five Quints, a snare line from about five to ten snares, eight to ten cymbals players, xyllophones, bells, or marimbas. And yes they all wear a harness. The straps to contain your percussion instrument are old and out dated you must admit.

[@uniquetouch05]

ooooooooooooo my dog is tellin it how it is!

[@uniquetouch05]

They had 12 snares, 13 cymbals, 8 tenor drums, 6 qints, and 8 basses.

[@uniquetouch05]

Damn right! I don't know what the hell he is talking about. This is the best drumline ever! They have the best style.

[@bigmancoop]

what you said that is really a tough decision between mdfs (norfolk)and sudden impact cookman so I will watch both sections and decide who is better once and for all, but im from florida and all we see is the impact but i think if you see them in person you will fall in love with them to

[@di0uz]

norfolk? nah. They're style is too simple...but still good. Im not saying nothing about em, but Cookman got swagg. 2010 baby! Lookin foward to my crab year!

[@DJDUCE386]

IMPACT !!!

[@Lamik4000]

They got it from MBC AND SWD

[@franzswa]

Well senteiwane, we could agree to disagree. You seem to be a very intelligent, well mannered, and knowledgeable person. I respect all of your comments. I can aggree with you that the HBCU bands play for their audiences. About the cadences, well I will say this. Maybe I spoke wrongfully about the aal sounding the same. I was trying to say that they repeat frames over and over again which kills the hook. BCC drumlines does not do that which I can identify and say that they are good.

[@BigAnt305]

yea as far as dey rudiment combiknations n wat not alot of it come frm DCI

[@RockyM5]

GOOD SHIT SUDDEN IMPACT. GOOD SHIT

[@drumrgrl23]

Dude this was SICKKKK!!!!! =)

[@uniquetouch05]

cHEST TENOR ARE MUCH BETTER MAYBE NOT AS LOUD BUT YOU HAVE A LOT OF FUN PLAYING THEM UP INSTEAD OF DOWN

[@XxDWillxX]

tight!! that was sooo clean for them to have just learned that in like a week!

[@dpelham]

Pedro Orey, my quad players uncle lol :)

[@krumpboiruthless]

wat iz da name of ya skool n wat iz da name of ya line?? n do ya hav n e videos of dem??? imma put sum of ours up here like nex week wen we hav practice.

[@stormin20]

I'm not usually one for pipe bands, but that was very sweet. Nice feature, BCC!

[@P3RF3CTCH09S]

lol Yeah Of course I think S.I. has the better style cause they keep you entertained.and I live in florida soooooo.

[@uniquetouch05]

Yeah you right... To me chest tenor sings and down tenor hummms

[@Nirvana0408]

Snare part was dirty, but awesome beats :)

[@dpelham]

@jazzycat1 wtf is a jungle drumline??

[@sousapwn1108]

@jazzycat1 I march in an HBCU style band and I'm white. Drum Corps is great and all, but let's leave concert band to concert season. Marching band is entertainment. The fact that you're racist doesn't mean that this drum line is bad. In fact, "Sudden Impact" is good: very good, clean, and ear pleasing. DCI's "click click click click" human metronome gets kind of boring after a while. Admit it. Even though you won't. I still wouldn't mess with anybody in this "Jungle Drumline." Good performance

[@daboy09]

personally...bcc drumline is raw as hell..like they are creative when it comes 2 shows..but norfolk will make bcc shit in their pants..bcuz norfolk parties and dey selection of rudiments is sick..and quint line will shit on dem...snare line is 2 clean 4 bcc..but both of em are raw

[@franzswa]

He Stated That There Is Only One real Drumline; He has to be speaking of The Norfolk State University Drumline. :-)

[@TheDragonmaster18]

@jazzycat1 dude they only had a week to put this together and if they only focused on sounding perfect they wouldnt have anything to perform

[@franzswa]

In addition too may of the old tenor drum that they are carry sideways. You go do with those. It takes away from the Tonal Bass Drums. The snares rolls are not clean and crisp and in some places the tenors are not clean as well when they play their triplets or 32nd notes.... For a High School it would went okay, but for a College Drumline, it's poor. But the visuals are good.

[@drumslanga]

2005

[@rhssnare]

What do the snares have on their drums? I'm talking about the thing that the guy used to tap off with

[@derekdacadillacqadafifickl1398]

COW BELLS

[@si1995gtnupe1997]

Latin Percussion (LP) Jam Bell. It’s the low pitch version (red).

[@SpokenIntoExistence]

Dat wuz live

[@franzswa]

This cadence has great potential but the snare rudiments are very bad. The tenors 32nd notes could be inverted a little differently for a better sound quality.

[@uniquetouch05]

No!!! You use tenor drum mallets. They have to be order

[@coldsteel0714]

what year was this????

[@si1995gtnupe1997]

2005.

[@nexxlevel09]

da only thing i can say about NSU bad is that i see they play the same stuff almost every year. wheras BCU makes different stuff every year.

[@uniquetouch05]

yeah you right but who has the better style???????? (hint hint) s phiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[@franzswa]

The visuals are nice. The Basses was a little overwhelming. Too many. The drills are too basic. The tenors sound ok. But snares need to clean up thir rolls and their chops. Their open rolls are clean and crisp. It sounds more like popcorn popping. I played with DCI and Big Ten Style Drumming. The Cadence I played In DCI are a lot more challenging, and the cadence sounds better. Not taking anything away from BC, they did a nice job overall. Nice Showmanship. The cadence was nice too.

[@franzswa]

uniquestouch05, I can tell by your youth that you clearly don't understand. Maybe you dont know your rudiments either. All you have to do is listen to the snare line. They definitely have to clean it up. BCC have a dynamic marching band. It is always good to accept constructive critisism. It makes you better. Only a fool refuses to take advice. Its is always better for people to think you're a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Are you a member of the BCC Sudden Impact Drumline?

[@rackfocus]

I'm not a fan of showstyle, but you guys did an excellent job. The drums are tuned quite well, and the line was clean until about 3:26. My only complaint is that there is just too many bass drums. It sounds overpowering and doesn't serve the line well.

[@tjsothrowed]

what the hell are u smokin? 5 basses wont cut it for a band that size

[@franzswa]

I clearly understand what you are trying to say seteiwane. While both DCI and Big Ten Style Drumming are exciting, The DCI Lines and cadences are more clean and crisp. In addition, their cadences sound better. Don't get me wrong, HBCU Big Ten Style Bands as a whole are great. Their High Step Marching, their showmanship, their selection of Music Entertainment, and their sound really have my attention. It's just that the drumline are not that great. They are primitive with their equipment cadences

[@P3RF3CTCH09S]

Those are 2 different styles of drumming i dont think you can reall y compare em...BCU is the best at what they do and MDFS is #1 at what they do

[@CleanIsClean]

And BCU SCSU and Cold steel

[@Tailoredwright]

Hbcu drum guy north folk as well

[@franzswa]

In addition setiwane, in my belief, if you were to place this drumline against a Division 1 School with a panel of unbiased judges, A Division 1 Drumline would win. We could talk about styles but there no different style when it comes to playing a cadence. They are all somewhat the same. BCU drumline is a very impressive drumline but as I said before, the side tenors should be replaced with something else. They are old and outdated from more than 20 years ago. HBCU tend to stick old tradition...

[@rhssnare]

@teddyguy83 Well nonetheless, they still sound pretty cool,this is a really great line!

[@franzswa]

For an HBCU, Norfolk State is the better Drumline by a long shot... I'm sorry but those rudiments on the snares are not together. Their open rolls sound dirty. This nothing to so with Corp style but rather fundamentals.

[@BosPercussion]

Then how come they haven't created anything better to use with the trash cans - pretty basic. My hs students could learn that pretty fast.

[@uniquetouch05]

this fool is funny lol

[@Bobofwestoregonusa]

I'm gonna be honest, their line leans towards a DCI style of playing. Show style is all booty shaking. Dosn't require a lot of rudaments.

[@krumpboiruthless]

n wat hs iz dat???

[@stickdog1230]

Million Dollar Funk Squad would murder yall who ever sad that bcu was cleaner than MDFS must have lost there mind

[@bigmancoop]

A BRO NO DISRESPECT TO YOU BUT I WAS RESPONDING TO CtoTheRockett BUT IF YOU READ HIS COMMENT YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING

[@uniquetouch05]

THATS TRU..... SAME BORING CADENCES

[@krumpboiruthless]

yo wat drumline u play 4!? cuz cant 2manii drumlines fuck wit BCC! i wonder iz whoeva u play 4 is better den BCC......

[@P3RF3CTCH09S]

Listen to Cookmans Percussion sound down rights wouldn't fit.Listen to Famu Drumline sound,fits perfect.And Cookman's Tenor's are infront meaning they get alot of attention and you couldn't do none of the littler dance movers they do with down right,the drum would be moving all over the places lol

[@uniquetouch05]

hell naw cookman would get in MDFS. Yeah they maybe a tad bit cleaner but Sudden Impact would dig in thier ass all day long. Cookman has better features anyway. Hell name one that can beat this one, and show me.

[@musyckman]

cosign... and i HATE tenor drums!!!! But BCC absolutely needs 'em. Hopefully you'll go to a clip of their full band after saying such a blasphemous comment.

[@di0uz]

BCU all the way. Fam's "traditional style" is lame. Anybody can play what their line plays, that's why it isn't all that.....

[@kingjokerful]

and vsu , nccu

[@wodchaz]

so the first guy was decent....but the rest? psh. also, akuma, why are you proud of this?

[@bigmancoop]

Norfolk and FSU percussionist,I think this is constructive critism but interpret as you may, sudden impact is better than both of you guys percussion sections because Norfolk you guys are very clean but yall cadences are not original, all yall cadences are repeats and add ons of previous cadences, and Fsu to be honest I never heard of you guys and I am standing around a group of 20 percussionist and they never heard of yall either so yall must not be as good as yall think yall are
