FSU vs Clemson Drum Off 11/13/2010 (Part 1)

[@dgatez73]

ok , Clemson started off stronger but then FSU just took over and finished the show.

[@richkane1977]

Poor placement of the microphones. All I could hear from FSU was cymbals.

[@NOVANole]

'95 Chiefs Alum here, thanks for posting! Big Eight, always tight and very entertaining. Go 'NOLES!

[@626studios]

Chief alum from 97-98 here, this reminds me of so many good times, great games, and a perfect marching records. Big 8 is the reason why Chiefs have never lost a halftime.

[@davidw.798]

Man, when I was 13 I had all big 8s cadences on a CD. I had em all memorized and would play along to it on my little practice pad. 17 years later, I'm crying cuz I remember everything. It was my dream to be big 8 snare player. 💖

[@ChuckieDrumz]

I had it too dude! Used to try to memorize sequence and cap’n cotton on tenors! We used it in my HS drumline to learn Haitian Hustle!

[@anthonygrizzaffi2337]

This drum off made me smile over and over again. Some fine playing by FSU.

[@mmartinl1]

Thanks for keeping it alive guys. Good to see all is well. Great shit for real. Big 8 Alum

[@pcorn613]

Both drumlines rocked it the fuck out but the red head on cymbals from FSU was giving me so much life...lol

[@HE360]

Well, both drumlines were great. But here, I'd say Clemson is getting a taste of their own medicine because everytime I see them, another drumline has to sit and listen to Clemson's super long never ending cadences lol. But now, FSU is doing it. But, that's ok!! It's still great! I enjoyed both! lol

[@cowbellpeaceprize]

Great job on both sides

[@ChuckieDrumz]

My man in the glasses on the Clemson tenors looks like he knows those beats inside out! Dude just grooves like no other!

[@drumsforever101]

@DrumsAndLaxAllDay it seems pretty easy to find out on your own. the tapoff at least

[@darylruffin5727]

The section leader from Clemson snare sounds like a woodblock. Probably popped that bottom head. Lol!

[@drewdrummer7]

@jayhawkerr38 and every other time fsu plays is a testament to how a cymbal line can help your sound

[@superpig090]

Really good battle. Love that visual the snares snuck in at the end. ;)

[@tinyclarinetgeek]

@jeremycorreia actually, we are the only team who has explicit permission from the tribe to use their name as their mascot, the chop, and so on. As far as I've been told.

[@jaythiele4731]

Damn. FSU's second was groovy as fuck, not to mention some great visuals.

[@ManicMonkey84]

MORE COWBELL!!!!

[@jackiehawkins2638]

This is great! Gets my pumped for next week! >>----->

[@LCAGD]

FSU, hands down.

[@bndncn]

I think it's a mix of the quads, bass drums, and some cymbals--maybe the ones mounted on the snares.

[@jhhamm3]

The video sound covers up lots of the dirt. Being there, I can tell you that Clemson was much dirtier. Though I might have a little bias since I go to FSU. But at the same time, I am a drummer, so I know what I hear.

[@drewdrummer7]

@USMC4341 we actually changed it up alot this year lol

[@trishvinguyen7647]

FSU!!! GO NOLES!! FLORIDA STATE!

[@captaindanny8820]

FSU won it.. I think Clemson was more trying cling on after that second round from the marching chiefs... I felt like the noles had planed it out better and chose uniqueness over playing it safe

[@EricM818]

i wish the camera wasnt closest to the quads, i cant hear the snares...

[@wickedsweet725]

Clemson's second cadence is pretty tightttt

[@Sherpaful]

That Clemson tenor closest to the camera is high AF

[@3lysuim]

tenors always play better like that lol

[@AndrewNemesDrums]

The tap off at 2:43 is messing with my head. so amazing. Is there sheet music anywhere for this (particularly the tap off)?

[@happygirl8327]

FSU FSU FSU FSU FSU......hmmmm FSU!! Yessss! Go Noles!!

[@flybywire09]

@drumnole Thanks man. Go Big 8 and CUD!

[@Warcrafthead24]

What's the cadence at 5:57, I've seen it elsewhere and would really like to know

[@flybywire09]

Clemson has stepped up their game.

[@JesseH]

Awesome They both ROCK !!!

[@pcorn613]

I might have to retract my last comment, FSU's cadences were funkier...lls

[@kevinhall0056]

its funny to see the FSU kids get out of step. (Well cymbals.)

[@thechuckbird]

Big 8, 2nd tenor drummer from the left was feelin those cadences! lol

[@jimbeaux89]

I could’ve got a scholarship for playing snare for OU marching 110. I ended up joining the military instead. I sometimes sit back and wonder what it would’ve been like if I would’ve chose to March for OU instead… Oh well.. I still practice my rudiments every single day..

[@Aborius]

Damn that part at 9:10 was sick!

[@dalton9931]

@IanDonlin i dont think thats what he meant at all

[@LCAGD]

FSU wins but they both need to clean up the snare lines...a lot.

[@GeorgiaHurdle]

@Bird0290 Thanks, but no thanks... I am & always will be an UGA DRUM LINER ONLY!!!!

[@shadyalleghenys7863]

at least FSU shook their sessa this time

[@DrumLuv23]

Round 1-Clemson.

[@zRhid]

Is it like a thing in college bands to tune your snares retardedly high?

[@Fuekashi97]

That read head shook her ass like crazy.

[@Keeian18]

@jeremycorreia I could've sworn this video was about FSU vs Clemson in a drum off and not FAMU. I'm just saying.. there's really no comparison what so ever..

[@YouAintChris]

FSU line should have all pulled out their cellphones, yawning and looking at their watches while Clemson was playing, like The Gophers drum line does against the Badgers LOL

[@sodanomusic]

LOL. These are college lines. Different objective and different player resource.

[@MAZO1214]

OO Clemson Drum congratulations, you are very good, my respects (Y)

[@matth.878]

I'm a gator fan but FSU is ten times better cuz they don't use frickin stands. I mean the Clemson guys are in college why do they need stands?

[@thomasjackson2103]

Matt H. Well tenor drums are heavy, ik they practice with them on and stuff, but it really hurts to have them on for a while

[@thomasjackson2103]

Matt H. Gotta give FSU some respect for all that

[@dsavage636]

Thomas Jackson Pussies...

[@usair97]

3:06 wat kinda of drum is tht in the background

[@MyIdleGhost]

can't hear ANYTHING!! all you hear is tenors when Clemson is playing and cymbals when FSU is playing.

[@usair97]

i wish i could do this

[@michaelbosisto9378]

FSU redhead symbol player but wiggle though

[@jhhamm3]

@volcom0928 How about I ask a couple people I know on the line if they would be willing to talk to you? Message me.

[@Bubba167712]

It is hard for me o even make a comment on this. It's like my wife meeting my girlfriend kinda deal ya know? I like Clemson from being from there but the Noles took my college game in person virginity. Still both did great and i am impressed by both. Go Noles and Tigers?!?!?!?!

[@duecejsmooth2]

@jkx04 actually, there have been members of showbands that have marched the snare and tenor lines of the blue devils, stop putting drumming and percussion in a box as drummers we have the right to be expressive and innovative. drumming is drumming whether show style or corps.

[@spartanzero13]

whats your name cadence 9:32 ?????

[@shorome2]

clemson's drumline is so clean techincally ....good gracious...

[@avioias]

damnit elliott! Why'd you stand right near the cymbals, lol.

[@kenna_elyse]

I want to go to Clemson for college, but drum offs are not their thing. I was not particularly impressed with anything the snare line did, and this is coming from a girl who plays snare!

[@briteal1]

lol. girl

[@CleanIsClean]

good or bad comment

[@bigpatt11]

GO NOLES!! they won that drum off

[@LuckySevenSamson]

Starting at 7:22, you can hear the faint sound of Clemson's drumline as they get eaten alive.

[@mikeliagoure79]

12:10 was Fire asf🔥🔥🔥

[@erichbreedlove588]

I think its the complete opposite FSU's line owned that.

[@lanesteele240]

Any traditional black college line would roll either

[@andydelgado8811]

lanesteele240 das fa damn sure

[@SicariousSkillz99]

1, 2 Buckle my shoe. 3, 4 Shut the door. 5,6 Pick up sticks. 7,8 Gunna play it straight. 9, 10 Let's begin Love it lol

[@765lbsquat]

Clemson BEASTED!

[@Drumsetkid23]

its dissa pointing to say, but clemson got their shit rocked

[@Jamesbird0290]

@jkx04 What's a core style drumline?

[@nathanaelslater814]

@ That my good friend is extremely untrue. Have you ever talked to a drummer whos been a dci about the technique they use?

[@rbrrosebitrose]

Good

[@Joel1141973]

Both are great but someone PLEASE teach the concept of clean

[@bigpatt11]

this makes want to go to fsu and join marching band again... then again I WILL!!!

[@mellonappa72]

@jkx04 do u play percussion, u should try going head to head w/ a FAMU snare drummer and get back to me w/ your "facts" Lol

[@neilyvanneily]

Clemson was cleaner. FSU had a bit more hype.

[@GeorgiaHurdle]

@dalton9931 hahaaha u call that WAR SONG UNIQUE??? That has been actually my High school's war song for several years...... we are the home of the Cherokee Indian Reservation. Since our Mascot has been also a Cherokee Indian we use their WAR beat...u might know it as the FSU's Seminole War beat from the BIG 8.... yes FSU is so unique they still war chants from other tribes.... get unique & better & u kmight have a chance on beating UGA oneday!

[@WiffleballofDoom]

7:29 Got that Seminole Swag!

[@janvanwagoner6771]

unbiased review - FSU took it!

[@djhoeh111]

lightning bolt!

[@thatguynick2080]

7:30 = WOW

[@dalton9931]

clemson has some nice chops but theyre too uptight and sloppy. the tenors had a period of latency during the 2nd cadence and the tonals at 5:46 were extremely sloppy. tonals are a very underated part of a line, and the big 8 are a perfect example of good tonals. it takes a lot of skill to play haitian hustle on the bass drums. the big 8 focuses more on being a unified drumline with few errors rather than focusing on chops like clemson.

[@shorome2]

FSU has flavor and good choreography....but they cant hang with clemson in pure musicianship...

[@USMC4341]

As great as this video is, c'mon, Big8 .... can we retire Haitian Hustle (6:00) please? I was there in '98 and we were hacking on that back then when the two Marcus's were running the line. At least change it up a little like Sequence for crying out loud.

[@mrthundaboots]

'Noles by a mile!

[@DrumLuv23]

Round 3-Clemson wasn't bad, but.....I mean it was Sequence that FSU played. That's tough to beat. Lol

[@GeorgiaHurdle]

actually UGA is famous in GA just as Famous as FSU in Florida. Each state has it top college/university bands. UGA is GA's & sticky FSU is FL's. wow that is sad really ! they should have aMarching Band off Competion each state will have a contest to pick the best from each state to compete in the Finals.USA will host a Nation wide competion to pick USA's BEST MARCHING BAND. then they go International Marching Bands for theInternational Title of the BEST Marching Band. The best band will win!

[@CleanIsClean]

almost every snare from fsu did drum corps

[@petarpwnsuall]

roll tide :')

[@RMorton1]

FSU did pretty well

[@GeorgiaHurdle]

[@bmrdrummer97]

with clemson the tenors sound weird kinda like the drums are being dampened so either bad zones or bad tuning but thats my only complaint with fsu all i can hear is the cymbals which i know is not their fault but it just seemed weird clemson wins

[@GeorgiaHurdle]

Thanks, but no thanks... I am & always will be an UGA DRUM LINER ONLY!!!!

[@DrumLuv23]

Round 2- Florida State

[@thasnargoblin]

FSU = swag

[@AdrenalineRush796]

really don't think the first tenor know what he's doing.

[@jayhawkerr38]

2:47....you're the reason why people think cymbals only fuck up drumline...

[@shorome2]

I am no doubting that at all....I like those latin rhythms that they incorporated into the second cadence...however...minus the eye candy and the flavor....the rhythm did not require as much skill musically...I think if FSU had to play the second cadence that clemson played, it would expose some of the individuals because the cadence required a higher level of mastery of rudiments and of the instrument youre playing....but FSU seemed way more entertaining in this vid

[@drumdevil4014]

Clemsons whole line is dirty af
