Dynasty: The Cadets Percussion (2000-2005)

[@sharonridings7418]

Breaks my heart that a few men could tear down the legacy

[@TheRailwayDrone]

I marched in Cadets in 2000 as a trumpet player. I was in love with our drumline.

[@KingNeptune05]

No clue how they didn’t win that caption.

[@TheRailwayDrone]

@@KingNeptune05I thought the same thing.

Tim Greene?

[@lopezmotorsports]

2005 was AMAZING!!! Crispy snares, tasty tenors, and abundant bass!!! Hell YEAH!!! I miss the day when the snare were played high. I hated playing so low. I'm a taller than normal Mexican. lol.

[@Ridebmx34521]

8:45 was probably my favorite lick as a kid

[@jayseven6089]

I love how they just haul ass at 4:00 and still have amazing approach to the drum.

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

Such clarity and mastery of technique not to mention musicality. And the writing isn't bad either. Ha! Thanks for posting this example of what can be done with the right instructors, the right performers and the right music at the right time.

Your channel is such a blessing. You are doing a great service to the marching arts

[@cormaccallan1478]

Love watchin the bois absolutely truck it at 4:01. Badass

[@mattklinghamer370]

These were some beastly lines. I miss this version of Cadets.

[@KevinJohnson-kn6xy]

@5:51...Eric Ward (Snare line instructor) - marched with that dude at Morehead State University when we beat UNT's drumline @ PASIC in 1995. Great memories!! Sad to hear about their future :(

[@betaomega04]

2002 was such an underrated show.

[@dwaterson21]

Bruh this line was COOKING that GOOD

[@Iliketordles]

I've jammed out so many times to the sections at 0:02 and 0:15. I love those bass drum impacts.

[@dwartenb89]

Who knew fast paradiddles and hertas could be so musical.

[@jeffe_77]

So overdue for the Cadets at the time after a run of 2nd place for the drum title for years in the 90’s (93,94,95,96,98). Cadets 2002 the only corps to win the drum title with more than 5 tenors? Fantastic production BTW. Fantastic production by the way.

[@Jomacx-24]

Cavies got 2nd in 98.

[@jeffe_77]

@@Jomacx-24 that’s right, they did, it was SCV, Cavies, Cadets and Glassmen

[@Benr1020]

Also Cadets would have won '93 if they had averaged the caption score from all nights for the trophy. They took drums prelims and semis. In '94 Cadets took finals but they averaged the nights for caption awards that year, giving BD the title by a tenth of a point over two nights (latter half of quarterfinals rained out). But yeah, '95 and '96 were uncontested 2nd place lines. The '96 line lost the trophy to the oft-hyped Blue Devils line by only a tenth of a point over three nights and actually beat them in semis. 1998 went to SCV because that year awarded the caption to the finals night winner. Average scores would have given the trophy to Cavies; 2nd would have gone to the Cadets--who had a tenth-point advantage over SCV for three nights--and they also topped semis that year.

[@Jomacx-24]

@@Benr1020 Good stuff. Are there caption breakdowns of old DCI schools anywhere?

[@trentbildstein5610]

The 50 yard final move at the end of the 2001 show is one of my favorite show endings of all time. Not necessarily musically the bet the drill plus intensity plus hammering notes is just awesome.

[@DouglasESmith-fu7di]

I love that nod to Santa Clara there. So sophisticated.

[@rxgaming1065]

They were so clean wth

[@CaviesPWN]

this was my favorite DCI era

[@cartoonpower0]

0:56, dude marches into the perc judge

[@veot.2869]

A lot of judges got ran over back in the day. They either forget the drill or didn't observe enough of it when they were assigned. It was always a treat to catch 'em slippin'!!!!!!

[@highstimulation2497]

holycrap, wow. never noticed till now.

im really sad that the cadets folded :(

Not gonna lie. I was starting to hate paradiddle-diddles for a while😂

[@mcgrud]

For the algorithm. ✊

[@erikcolliander9087]

[@BDizDaBest]

They may have won all those percussion captions, but their books were very unmemorable. Just lots of fast rolls and paradiddle variations arranged in different ways year after year after year. Not very imaginative or exciting! As repetitive as those books were, though, they did play the absolute hell out of them and they deserve credit for that.

How to speak drumline

[@ThePMcDonald]

Cadets - the weapon used to destroy Eastern drum corps by the Allentown Predator … remember: ye shall reap what has been sown … watch them continue to sink under the weight of what Hopkins wrought …

[@MCITigerRegiment]

The Cadets are not one man. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

[@RevanPorkins]

Hes gone new staff. Saw them 2021 best they have been since 2015

[@grimdarksandwich66]

Awesome performers and incredible work. Playing busy, unmusical, cliche ridden tripe.
