The bluecoats have everything, from a beefy book to clean rolls... they even got Jesus to play set and keep time!

[@EliteOfTheRad]

The drumset really helps to contextualize the music. When there's just the click, book music sounds a little dry, because it is written to serve the music. The drumset provides a musical context and the book music really comes out because of that. It's much easier now to hear the groove and what the book music (without the other instruments) is trying to say.

Back when times were simpler

[@HornlineFanatic]

Great video. This really showcases this skills you've honed as a videographer over the years. Plus, your audio setup fits like a glove for this warmup--clean and punchy. Also, I know little about drumming, but sounds like some really tight musicianship--and yes, I really dig the drum set. The downbeat really promotes active listening for us non-drummers.

[@shaqloco7671]

3:24 and 3:29 displays some smooth freaking drumming. Incorporating switches into the music

[@ZackAttack1798]

What do those switches do?... I've always wondered

[@shaqloco7671]

+Zachary Rodgers they do something to the sound. One sound makes it sound more hollow and spacey

[@nathanreno-winters8732]

They're vents that increase the dynamic range and change the timbre of the sound: usa.yamaha.com/products/musical-instruments/marching/accessories/marching_accessories/may_acoustic_eq/

sheet music for snare/tenor feature?

[@thesharpearthproject6098]

I tried to figure out how they did it I know how Its just really complicated

[@DrazPlayz]

At Prelims I was right next to the tenor on the end. I could literally just touch the tenors if I wanted to. I got a picture of me sitting right next to him though. :D

[@timweber6560]

Are the switches on the top rim for the top snare gutz? Could someone explain that, I've only used Pearls with bottom snares. They flick them at 3:20 after the tenor feature. Thanks!

[@thisguyoverhere4746]

If I'm understanding your question correctly, they do. In the early millennium Yamaha came up with adding snares right below the top head, which is that lever they are pushing and pulling. Dynasty later followed that same concept. 1) I have the diagram on my wall back at my parents home. 2) my younger brother saved his money and bought a Dynasty snare replica of the 2003 Blue Devils, which ScoJo autographed.

[@nathanreno-winters8732]

Actually, they're vents that increase the dynamic range and change the timbre of the sound: usa.yamaha.com/products/musical-instruments/marching/accessories/marching_accessories/may_acoustic_eq/ But close! Yamaha did make top snares on marching snares for a while, but these were introduced. Yamaha has since discontinued them (probably due to a lack of demand), so the Coats didn't use them in 2016.

[@SpykerFX]

i love 5:15 to the end of the feature the best

[@nickniehaus1763]

Is that JD funcorps by the quads

[@prestonjones20013]

That Tenor line was KWISPY

[@landonconley4880]

What is that thing on the snares around 3:30 ???

[@samshoemaker7865]

That was absolutely incredible, I think I detected some pretty substantial dirt at 8:10 coming out of the triplets, the tenors and snares weren't together, but that has to be the camera cuz these guys are way too freaking good

[@alexwilson2268]

Sam Shoemaker nah they do play dirty sometimes

[@programmedwrong3795]

The only thing I hate about them incorporating the vent switches is during the actual show they were at the back field and you couldn't see it really in the show. They should have had them up front showcasing that bad ass part. Cause it is smooth AF!!! 3:24 TO 3:30 mark

[@michaelguzman841]

Someone have a transcription of Oper of this? I'm dying for learning it!

[@jerryramirez8758]

Michael Guzmán Go to Erick Hintons play through of it and he should have it in his description. Or simply Google it and look for hours on snare science

[@jtpower99]

One of the snares messes up at 0:45. I've probably seen this video 40 times and i final noticed an error

what type of carriers do they have

[@Cofi_SL]

+cj johnson type mapex/Yamaha carriers they are like the others but with the back piece I call em whale tails but im sure they have a real name

[@olivergilbertson7433]

Randle may carriers. On the back is the articulating back support (ABS) which promotes better posture and makes it easier to carrier the drums, especially for longer periods of time. But they can be a real bitch to put on

[@adriangarcia6245]

Whats that attatchment the snares are using at 3:20?

[@caseyobrien2681]

Yamaha used to make snare drums with a second set of snare wires resting just underneath the batter head. They’re flipping the switch on the extra “guts” and doing it in time, together!

[@TylerDunphy]

@@caseyobrien2681 I actually think those are "EQ" rings which just open holes along the top rim to allow for a lighter sound.

[@PineTreePlaysMC]

If 3D cameras were better quality, any of these videos would be infinitely better.

[@mjsettles]

Ok so at around 3:29 what are they switching? Is that like a snare switch or something???

[@olivergilbertson7433]

So some Yamaha snares can be customized in the baring edge to have openings. The switch opens up or closes the drums to allow different air flow, and therefor, different sounds as well

[@mjsettles]

Oh that's interesting. I've only played on a pearl drum and I've never really seen that before.

[@olivergilbertson7433]

Barely any people use them on Yamaha drums too. These are the only guys that I know do it. It's more of a mid on the drums than an actually feature of them.

[@nathanreno-winters8732]

Yep, they're vents that increase the dynamic range and change the timbre of the sound: usa.yamaha.com/products/musical-instruments/marching/accessories/marching_accessories/may_acoustic_eq/

[@toxika2184]

+Matthew Settles You can hear them better when they are used indoors. Also if you watch the snare cam, you can hear a little ringing noise.
