That drum has a life it will gonna run if u don't hold it like that

[@lukeparsons4965]

I try to lean towards the drum just needing a hug

[@thatoneguy1738Ch]

That’s like the only thing I was looks at and I was ganna comment about it but you beat me

drum lines are so hype... i want a personal drumline to play behind me everywhere I go ... walk into the grocery store to buy milk and eggs? got my drumline with me, come at me bro

[@ziraprod6090]

Watch: "Im gonna git you Sukka."

[@al19fred]

This is the way

[@lawrencevandenberg7725]

Maybe just dowwnload this soundtrack for your ring tone, and have friends call you when your out to shop. Let it ring!

[@nuezacarlo2712]

1:35 We've all been there. No worries.

[@RenaldoJNR]

Thanks laughed so hard😂😂😂 But true

[@jaythiele4731]

Shadow (the first line to play?) wins hands down. They were super clean from stick height to being perfectly im unison. No contest they were the cleaner / disciplined line.

[@daking310]

shadow won hands down from a drummer and a teacher! Shadow was cleaner and played harder and had better moves.

[@bahmdiggity9577]

I know you commented this 2 years ago but I'm having fun with my insomnia and I wanted to tell you I couldn't agree with you more. There commitment to precision was intense. You could literally feel it radiating off of each one of them.

[@mrgentleman1435]

I love the guy holding the djembe like his life depends on it

[@PilotMoochi3]

Shadow kept together more than the other group.

[@Nick-4]

As a percussionist for over 20years and playing snare in the line I have been in countless drum wars and I have to say that Shadow is better, All extras in the other line isn't necessary it just fogs it all up and not to mention their snare line sounds like popcorn, it needs to sound like 1 person and Shadow nailed it with that aspect, not as flashy but who cares I was taught with very strict rules you didn't smile you didn't talk or even move unless directed to and I wouldn't of had it any other way! Miss it all now that's for sure

[@M_Man116]

And you see, that is your mistake. you think like a musician, instead of a performer.

SHADOW WAS AMAZING. I’m so late this was like 2 years ago lol

[@stixcreatur8307]

I was there and Shadow was definitely the tightest group that year. Great effort by both

[@lacroy9861]

Shadow line was cleaner and harder music?!?! Like how?! 7th reg sounds like a good high school line shadow sounds like a good college line like tf?!?!?

[@CDN296]

more passionate sound i guess

[@lilromierome]

It was a battle Cleanliness and dope music vs Creativity. And Creativity won

[@johngriffen206]

Shadow is an all high school line too (; no body is older than 18

[@sixelz]

LaCroy They were better musically, yes. However, I think what got them most was that they dropped sticks and cymbals.

[@isaactrent6947]

All that matters to me is that they play clean, I was recently contracted to March shadow for the 2019 season, and I'm hoping that I get good enough to make phantom for the 2020 season

[@SR71_Blackbird]

I'm from CT, but I think Shadow should have won. Loved their show this year too.

[@anthonyalatsas4351]

Blackbird im from CT and I marched Shadow lol

[@mikel7505]

What part of CT are you guys from? And do you guys know of Hurcs?

[@jamesrp0]

Do they have a Facebook...or insta ...where I can follow

[@turnr3326]

Mike L CT hurricanes? DCA. I saw them

[@cassiebean451]

I’m from CT too, but I think they were both really good bc New London’s has more creativity

[@anthonysartoris1407]

Holy hell the cymbal coordination at 4:08 is incredible

[@bigtex8450]

In Battle and DCI it's not about the music and marching, it's about the accessories and scenery and how much stuff you bring on the field. This is now how all band competitions are judged, even in high school.

[@lillylewis2660]

Shadow 100% they stayed together the entire the entire time, and had amazing intros

[@jeromewieland55]

7th Regiment won because....no matter what goes on...the backbone like the bass line...carries through the whole performance. If you can’t prove everyone holding a drum is a god...take a seat. That bass line killed it!!!

[@johngriffen206]

Jerome Wieland the only reason why 7th reg’s bassline was so together was because their book was 76% easier than shadows book was. They had quick little runs and just played the impact notes

[@CityBoyDubstep]

My private instructor marched shadow during this and I saw this live, just realized I watched my instructor perform without even realizing it!!

[@spencerperilloux9961]

[@locomoco7141]

what a rip man...shadow was fricken insane compared to 7th....

[@nochilltracks]

2:59 look at that dud 😂😂 he's so hyped he will take a soul for it! 😂🙌

[@zackzack7767]

Hahahaha true.. lol

[@a.p2234]

I love hearing how on key everyone is, it's amazing!!! Great job to all the teachers 👍👏

[@bluerock-relaxingmusic5090]

This is a divine meody, listening to these sounds, you want to be somewhere far away, maybe at the end of the world and meet the sunrise or sunset, look at this masterpiece and envelop yourself in these sounds of the soul, which turn into a thin and gentle soul, which is ready for anything something more than I thought. Thank you for such creativity)

[@chase7583]

That was a nice cymbal drop at 4:57

[@mokdo9962]

Big Uuf I noticed that too lmao

[@sarainoue2428]

shadow should've won. If you see closely like 7th regiment didn't coordinate as much as shadow. Also shadows was together even more... shadow wins in my mind

[@ObscureMachines]

4:47 this is sparta

[@bahmdiggity9577]

Old fogey here. I was the first girl in drumline to play quads back in 1988. I was the only girl in the drumline at that time. I was 5'3" and 100lbs kitted up. I loved those days. Of course my back would beg to differ. Then again maybe it was the heavy weight lifting. I was never butch but I was a tomboy all the way and I wanted to do the fun stuff boys got to do. My skin and hair thanks me for that, at 47 I still don't have to wear makeup and my hair is soft, shiny and full. So I guess there's ups and downs to all our decisions and roads in life. But the days on the drum line were some of the best and most memorable. Traveling for games. Traveling for competitions and the camaraderie whether we were winners or losers. Good Times.

[@MPrint67]

Ok no, that’s bullshit. They won even though their snares weren’t tuned properly, composition wasn’t as difficult, playing wasn’t as clean, dynamics weren’t as good? Who judged this? Not actual drummers I’m guessing. Shadow got robbed.

[@419waywardkid5]

It probably wasn’t judged from a technical standpoint. I’m guessing it was more for the audience and in situations like that the flashiest are often the winners

[@thelukemeister]

HeavySet this always happens with anything like this tbh

[@Lanzottv]

4:54 rip to that cymbal

[@lukeparsons4965]

Everything messed up that cymbal toss

[@peytonbowers7795]

You know not meaning to brag here but you see Lucas oil stadium in the back ground, well I have been on that field twice in my marching career and I have to tell you it is a huge honor to be on that field. This year at state finals we placed in the top five number 4 and broke a school record and that was the highest that our school had ever placed in over a hundred years. Anyway my point being is if you ever get to be on the Indianapolis Colts field just make it a memorable moment.

[@Flipcrash]

You do know dci exists and hundreds of people March in the stadium. Ofcourse anyone going will make the best about it and you wont be the last one there

[@peytonbowers7795]

@@Flipcrash true

[@ianramos7001]

These are the videos that make me want to quit high brass and join the quad or snare line. 😂😂😂

[@СергейКопылов-ю5л]

Все барабагные ритмы- это " музыка тёмных сил ибо только под ритмы барабанов достигаются совместные действия рабов и агрессивных сил.

[@kingw1280]

Energy was definitely there on both sides and the crowd was amazing.

[@hellfirepictures]

Never heard of drumlines before. No idea who Shadow or 7th Reg are. But Shadow EASILY won that. Cleaner, neater, more complex, better tuned.... Sorry 7th Reg players but you should never have been awarded that. Shadow - you were robbed.

[@TheRealNYR23]

Heard of drummers, that are in marching bands? That is called "drumline" lol.

[@gunfanatic9381]

That line and foot work on point 🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@milojohnson3057]

4:40 love the closer segment

[@CDEEZ03]

The bass drums on both linesb though 🔥

[@robynrob4867]

That was cool! I enjoyed both, but Shadow wins it for me. Great job, all!

[@yourbutler9988]

talk about technicality and arrangements of music, shadow is good way to go .. but the 7th regiment music is catchy .. you can groove with it .. it's all about entertainment coz it's a show not an exam ..

[@MPrint67]

YohAnna AsakuraKyoyama Spoken like someone who’s never been on a line.

[@Bakuhatzu]

@@MPrint67 I have to agree with *YohAnna* , its a show, not an exam. Like showing off skill is great(it really is), but if you cant make them POP out in flashy energetic ways, you'll usually take an L. Especially in crowds of people who probably don't understand the skill involved.

[@MPrint67]

John Dillinger That’s why you have judges and not audience applause meters to decide winners. This is something you clearly just don’t understand. Theatrics aside, this is music and it’s about that first. You won’t make it on a line with stick tricks.

[@Bakuhatzu]

@@MPrint67 mhmm

[@DeDerpyDerp_]

It was a close race. Then shadow started and had already won.

[@sarahgalassini5188]

I just got accepted into shadow as a drum major :)

[@asinakingkikkk1940]

shadow won. that dynamics, that voices omg this is really dope, second team bullshit

[@steveriyedmarylucas4374]

Alright Shadow!!! They have both great sound and visuals !!

[@djkreigline2760]

Djk33❤😍😘 you have a boyfriend how old you are

[@alaninnh]

Before seeing this video I had never even heard of Shadow but I liked them in this competition. 7th Regiment is always good on the field though.

[@overtone7242]

When someone says Drumline isn’t a sport:

[@brod_drumz]

How did 7th regiment win ??? So much dirt . Are these open class groups

[@louisgreen3205]

Number 17 on The symbols loves his job! A lot!

[@conlan_drumsyt2784]

5:35 Bass line ... Clean

[@LuckyWolf]

Shadow

[@caige_baum]

Omg that girl with the tambourine was so into it!!!!😂😂

[@sexysaxdude8173]

Shadows hits were so much cleaner. Its astonishing how much better shadow is

[@michaelsmith-rr8wq]

Those are one the of top two drumlines around. Noticed how shadow wasnt stressing that 7th won.

[@dodobobby5617]

Shadow was way cleaner but 7th regiment was just more hype for the crowd

[@mantricore1737]

unexpected, i think shadow will be win, and i'm so confidence when the winner is announced.

[@opinionsarelikebuttholes4458]

I could watch these kids all day, havin` fun!!

[@TimeNfeel91]

Shoutout to the quadplayer wearing flipflops

[@Riptide-ik5db]

The shadow group is the definition of me and the boys

[@acetheplace7197]

that dab at 3:46 made my day

[@jayhokum5413]

Are they ever gonna say goose? I can’t sit forever

[@Outlawstar0198]

I was part of Shadow (then Oregon marching band) before it changed its name and joined DCI. I loved it and the constant challenge the band/corps constantly presented me/us with. It's a shame that my hero, percussion tech, teacher, and musician, Dave Skogan, was busted for grooming kids dating back YEARS.

[@saliioapo1254]

Wow I'm from Australia but I can appreciate this , love for both bands especially the people on the snare. But felt like shadow won this battle

[@Ayyshaddy]

what does being from australia got to do with it. nobody gives af

[@turnr3326]

Ayy Shaddy drumline corps competition doesn’t exist even to the slightest in Australia so they don’t see it often. Not very cash money of you to be that rude.

[@royenxavier1782]

la PERFORMANCE de malade!!!! j'adore

[@lailaallen6851]

I’m sorry the boy on the shadow team playing the cymbals in the front with the curly top was killing it XD

[@Jo_So_Random]

Both teams are clean & precise like professionals should be

[@davidraigoza214]

Shadow is the perfect mix between show and technicality, I love them, too bad they lost. 😢

[@jahchris1552]

KneeDropper 'no

[@manderson5218]

Shadow should've won, the other team sounded mediocre compared to Shadow.

[@Zamigirl]

Shadow had some HAKA warrior moves that I like.

[@shshjahhh891]

Wow wow wow wow 6:48 i like that beat

[@youtubeaccount9058]

I guess there has to be a winner, but you guys/gals are all teriffic and have a lot to be proud of

[@signsofthetimessignsofposi9030]

Outstanding gentleman!

[@signsofthetimessignsofposi9030]

And ladies!!!!

[@PrinceIce20]

Ya know, I get everyone saying Shadow should've won...but their girl straight dropped her cymbal at one point and it was the most obvious mistake...

[@redrun101]

Nelson Heavener more than likely the strap that goes over her hand broke. It sucks but it happens from time to time. Source: Marched cymbals for three years.

[@cheesybird1375]

redrun101 no she tried to throw it and catch it but she missed, but the strap could be the case idk

[@thedazills1351]

Nelson Heavener one mistake shouldn’t have made that much difference. Overall shadow should have won.. more put together sounded way better harder music...

[@maxpearl3162]

wow that jack williams dude is really good!

Cavies 2013 Secret Society quad ostinatto was in there :o

[@coltonlandis2284]

DUDE I APPRECIATE THAT HYPE SO MUCH

[@76Patilac]

Cool drums but unfounded winner...What?! How did grey team not win?

[@davegalloway6463]

Shadow had much better movement... their flow on stage was effortless with less shuffle steps to get into place... kudos to both teams. Well done

[@jennydennison1437]

My brother thinks you guys are awesome he likes to hear the beat of the drums thanks very much for doing the video

[@HuntyeahFTW]

4:56 Cymbal drop

Woaw, where is that place ! If 1 day i got kids, i probably want them to do their studies there ! sériously, it looks like disneyland from paris...

[@MrMooney196144]

0:35 Nobody's clapping 😂😂

[@blehbleh222]

How did I end up here? Shiiieeettt yeah!

[@MagaKoz]

Being a cymbal player must be like being the kicker on a football team. Don't really do much but just kind of run around and confuse the opponent's

[@noahivie1789]

Can we just point the guy on the first group on tenor is wearing flip flops 😂

[@rarya.7240]

Brazil marking presence! 🤗

[@razorsedg3563]

I've heard of sports games being fixed and wouldn't have thought that a drum line battle could be too, but it's obviously evident here!!
