[@Xelanoux]

I finally understand why they're so clean Jesus is their drum tech

[@mariolucero7193]

Looking back on this 10 years later… this is absolutely wild. I remember being a kid in high school watching this thinking how iconic this drum break was. Crazy stuff..

[@backbeatben]

I saw these guys live in 2012. The cleanest drumline I’ve ever heard in my life, live

[@shocka89]

No doubt!!

[@stickflip723]

I've never seen a more intimidating tenor player than the big buff dude in the center.

[@devupinthisthangyea7378]

stickflip723 that’s my boy onye 😂he even buffer now

[@RishiJalukar]

@@devupinthisthangyea7378 damnnn

[@AP-si3oz]

Oh Onye... yea he is also super laid back.. wouldn't hurt a fly.. unless you hurt the fly then he would hurt you.

[@mattfontenot5342]

That tenor lick was sick as hell man. I loved playing them in high school, wish i was able to afford marching with a top corp like the bluecoats.

[@captainkiwi77]

amen

[@jtacaptures]

Gotta love how everyone's so serious and then there's Reuel smiling through the whole thing

[@feardubstep9998]

because he is proud to be a tenor...as i am..i smile when i play a successful run and im sure you would too m8

[@jtacaptures]

Never said it was a bad thing man chill. I love it

[@feardubstep9998]

alright good man js...i thought you were hating lol

[@Tortuga_312]

Well realistically players are supposed to be serious. Players are supposed to be professional and intimidating, not saying he isn't but you gotta show it. That being said I love his energy.

[@paigelivesay2977]

He’s in my drum core that I’m in right now. He techs the baseline.

[@georgegibbins5390]

Basically all of the Bluecoats battery staff are in this drumline

[@DawgAtUr6]

when the quad break cleaner then ur browser history

[@squanchy7364]

Aidan De leon Donald's Trump's ass is cleaner than my search history

[@sourcecreator2222]

I don't always use incognito mode but when I do it is to watch this video

[@RishiJalukar]

@@squanchy7364 this is the best comment

[@andrewgantt]

This line taking second was one of the bigger robberies in recent history. The coats were the cleaner line, and had the harder book to go with it.

[@Drifting50]

I must say, bluecoats have come a long way from where I thought they were. This is really clean and I don't see why they wouldn't be scoring in the top finalists every year for DCI

[@dadmakesbadmovies]

Dynamics on snares + tenor attitude=outstanding work!

[@A_pizzle]

I keep coming back to this video one of the cleanest features

[@benjaminmoss4378]

ive watched this video like 1000000000000 times. I still cant believe what im watching.. super awesome

[@omardude39]

That was absolutely insane to watch, the synchronisation is just something else...

[@haydenniehus6063]

1:49 bass one 360 2:04 YEA BASS 0:14 Love the quad lick here 1:49-2:07 dammmm

[@chrishickie8528]

That cold buzz entrance by the snares at 1:18 was clean as hell! This is one of my favorite books of the last few years.

[@chuckbeckett2474]

I love how Tom cant help but crack some smiles here and there, little smile, then back to being bad ass, little smile then back to tough guy. Love it, good energy. Congratulations on 2nd place!

[@DumbDrummer610]

I could watch this all day

[@drksdofthmoon]

It's been almost a year already, and this vid still gives me goosebumps.

[@ObscureMachines]

2:02 when those heads start bobbin' I was like OH HELL YEAH!

[@ehhhhwassupdoc]

I wish I could go back in time bro. These guys are stupid clean on camera. Couldn’t imagine irl.

[@egoechoes588]

This clip still gives me chills.

[@wizchrills2889]

I still love this.

[@gmdeinlein]

I legitimately have watched this video between 30 and 40 times. Tonight.

[@neilyvanneily]

Someone PLEASE giving this corps a drum trophy!

[@trieutan5931]

DONE

[@NeilVanLeeuwen]

@@trieutan5931 Right on! Finally!

[@blueturtleteo65]

by far my favorite drum feature

[@sammyidobelieveiammy]

2:29 extended triplet is such a Roger Carter/Bluecoats lil tag and I LOVE it

[@railmenindoorpercussion1977]

Tom Rarick is the man who does the writing. Roger is a great teacher but doesn't write for them.

[@sammyidobelieveiammy]

@@railmenindoorpercussion1977 I actually did not know that, but hats off to them! I assume they still write for coats?

[@railmenindoorpercussion1977]

@@sammyidobelieveiammy Yes, as far as I know. Tom has been writing for them since 2009 and is one of my favorite percussion composers. His books are so much fun to listen to! It’s something I didn’t realize either until recently. I always assumed caption heads also wrote for their corps like Rennick and Macintosh, but there is quite a mix. I think a lot of people would be surprised that Scott Johnson doesn’t write for BD, and hasn’t for decades!

[@Splooie128]

1:29 ... That's peak difficulty, executed perfectly.

[@ChrisPernaDrums]

Proud of my guys in this line. T Gas and Reuel, both coming out of my Stamford HS programs.

[@ohhh_smit]

Crazy good! I love the lot hype! One of the best lot videos out there

[@rjdrums97]

That tenor feature seriously blew my mind.

[@GabrielGarcia-nb5zp]

Best drumline I've ever seen in my life >>>

[@Dynam1cDr3w]

not even an *ounce* of dirt

[@cameroncavender]

u sure?

[@DatGuyWithNoName]

Literally the first bass attack is not together... Quads are pretty crisp though.

[@braydenvernon9649]

@@DatGuyWithNoName besides 2013 bluecoats, this is my favorite quad line

[@mel-px7hl]

DatGuyWithNoName you sure we heard the same bass attack?

[@braydenvernon9649]

Kaamel Mathis bass 4 and 3 were a little late

[@sourcecreator2222]

literally the best

[@BuckNelsonDrums]

this is better then anything on television! Bad ass! I'd like to have you guys on my show!

[@percussi0nist]

Still one of my favorite drum breaks ever

[@hskellison]

I still watch this twice a week

[@mann1efresh93]

@1:55 lol yo Bluecoats(Drumline) is definitely underrated

[@humbleRiver]

One of the many reasons I would love to march Tenor for the Bluecoats

[@JackanIke]

Best writing I’ve ever heard

[@juliothedrummer]

the quad line grooves and just hypes so dame hard

[@MichaelRMcKenna]

At Semifinals, yes. Finals night, Bloo was 2nd.

[@brown55061]

I thought the 07-09 tenor lines were tight but WHOA the 2012 coats tenors were nearly flawless. Hope you guys get scored a little better in 2013.

[@TylerDunphy]

Love this drumline

[@BRZbash]

2nd best drumline in drum core hands down. Even in 2019 even though the last two shows were crap

[@dodobobby5617]

Sebastian_ Morando *corps

[@justisdavis]

cant stop watching!!

[@Stevenbustamento]

Tenor solo, holy shit. There is so much hype in this video. Hell yeah, I dig it so hard. Straight baller.

[@gentrywalker]

Best quad break of the season.

[@HE360]

WOWWW, they tore it up. Great video!!

[@kryptikgg869]

I think this is probably the best feature I've heard in 3/4.

[@parkermathews9553]

Best drum feature in any time signature

[@kryptikgg869]

XD, ORNAW, the best in any time signature in my opinion is Blue Devils 2012. Sorry, bruh. But you can't beat their drumline! :D

[@ghyprh]

lol that's because writing in 3/4 is hella more fun than 4/4

[@jey12345]

so much energy!

[@JoshOnGuitar]

Wow, that is so clean

[@tstew258]

both Bluecoats and Cavaliers always have very interesting lines/pits, BD aims to wow people with how clean and technical they can be( which they are VERY good at doing.) Overall i find lines like Bc way more fun to watch

[@RickDawg527]

If it hadnt been for BDs amazing book that year and it being as clean as it was, this group would have EASILY won. It must have been hard for the judges during finals. 2012 was a good year for Bluecoats

[@austinknight379]

i play the drums in band i wish i could play like that yall guys are amazing

[@canadiankinja]

I've watched this too many times to count... And it's still not enough...

[@steamshadows75787]

BEST LOT VIDEO EVER

[@RyanAsheDrums]

cmon, those bass runs, and tenors solos, and snare solos, and cleanliness, and vocals are awsome. You like put go watch pit.

[@owensto1]

The center snare at 2:05 was cheesing when everyone was cheering. That must have been a great feeling.

[@xXGoodWaterXx]

2:06 - the snare in the middle... that smile. That's why drum corps is amazing.

[@TexSnare0702]

Best drums in my book

[@rayl9]

congrats on 2nd place in drums!

[@psalm14christmasmeaning45]

This book sounds like it would be fun to listen to in person

[@n00bsau53]

Just saw their full runthrough. I noticed that they said that after I posted this. Thanks for the correction though!

[@cosmodrum1]

I've always loved well-tuned yamaha drums.

[@steph_lew]

These guy's deserved top 3 in percussion.

[@swagthabeats]

I'm learning the snare music for this.

[@hiraethia8419]

William Latham it's been 3 years how did it go?

5 years now bud, you learn it yet?

Hey there, William Latham! Coming up on year 7 now, how's it looking?

@@grahamhamilton2859 I earned a full scholarship using it as one of my audition pieces! Of course that was 7 years ago lol and I’m out of college now. Thank you Bluecoats 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Who's that black guy next to Onye? I really enjoy watching him drum.

[@Severen45]

Joel Myers went to my school long before I ever went there but I had the same instructor.

I wish could play tenors that well!

[@xsteezysnare95x]

I think that Bluecoats definitely had the most tasty beats this year.

[@alexblais5774]

so much hype

[@liebs1239]

how did they not win best percussion?

[@brandonwright390]

I jizzed my pants at the tenor solo

[@DrumJunkie2000]

If I could only listen to one thing drumline related for the rest of my life it would be those bass unis.

[@joseph-2028]

Is that the center snare for united percussion 2010?

[@johnythanj]

I've seen this video 110,010 times?! Not enough

[@recruit412]

tenor line = BEASTS! its all about the tenor line here...

[@dkeller20m]

did you hear bd pit that year? they were flying. coats might have had the better battery, but bd pit just had them one up-ed big time

[@tnave93]

Can someone please tell me how they tune their bass drums?!? Those things ring the most beautiful chord EVER!! lol

There's a judges tape of their finals performance floating around youtube....he nit picks their mistakes throughout the show

Jesus keeps time so well.

[@isaacrizzo196]

How on Earth was it possible for BD to even come close to these guys, let alone beat them?

[@Soundwves]

You know what, I'm a BD fan at heart, but goddammit, this drum break kicked the shit outta BD this year!

[@tnave93]

Can someone please tell who writes all the battery music for Bluecoats?

[@mararodrigues2812]

I wanted to know if I could send the Tenor sheet music, I'm from a band here in Brazil and we got all of them by ear only the tenor

[@mararodrigues2812]

[e-mail]

[@ghyprh]

...so what was their audible after the tenor solo?

[@RorxorProductions]

So awesome! :O Whos the composer? Can I get sheet music anywhere?

[@joshdrummerboylopez]

so clean

[@JDLPERCUSSION]

the last visual was dope

[@VindrDrottningu]

i love at the end when the tenors are like "come at me bro, what!"

[@JohnDonovanDotBiz]

Academically obnoxious!! Bravo!!! Love it!!!

[@Jerahmeel]

You know your drum feature is badass when you end the down beat with the left hand.

[@Derickenbacker]

At 1:13 did bass 3 play a shot?

[@aviatr9542]

I didn't originally notice this but watch Bass 1 around 1:47 in this do a 360-leap in the air behind everyone... haha that's awesome.

[@itsallaboutbrass927]

How did this not get high percussion?

[@joedotphp]

It seems everyone but the Blue Devils use Yamaha. This drumline is better than BD's in my opinion. Incredibly clean. They killed it!

[@Sea_moore]

scv is dynasty, PR is pearl, BK is mapex i mean it's the most common but they're not the only ones
