Tradition…

[@DrumLuv23]

Overview: Good, clean battle. Texas Southern, to me, has always been a good, solid drumline where you know what you're going to get. GSU seems to be returning to their identity of old with producing "burners" on snare. Let's see how it ended up: Presence- GSU: 8.5 TxSU: 8 Uniformity- GSU:8 TxSU: 8.5 Cleanliness- GSU: 7.5 TxSU: 8 Material- GSU: 8 TxSU: 7.5 Difficulty- GSU: 8.5 TxSU: 7 Musicality- GSU: 7 TxSU: 7.5 Overall- GSU: 7.9, TxSU: 7.75 Snares- GSU: 8, TxSU: 8 Tenors- GSU: 7.5, TxSU: 7 Multi Tenors- GSU: 7.5, TxSU: 8 Basses: GSU: 8, TxSU: 7.5 Cymbals:GSU: 7.5, TxSU: 7 5 Overall: GSU: 7.7, TxSU: 7.6 Final score: GSU: 7.8, TxSU: 7.7 Result: GSU with the W. Overall, I heard some muddy parts in CT when there were "conversational" parts that passed through snares and tenors. I also heard the inner voices get off beat a few times during cadences. Generally, I'd like to see more enthusiasm with FT. They have a nice, "heavy" style, but I really think that committing to big movements can help bring out the intensity and add to their entertainment value. Agree? Disagree? What do you think?

[@BladeHudson]

I like your analysis

[@TazzKId]

You typed all of that... watched the video... and got out of this video that CT had the more difficult material yet alone a clean snare line that doesn’t even have the same playing form on their cadences??? You thought A&T won the Drumline battle in the movie against Morris Brown ain’t it?! 🧐😂😆 and WTF is musicality in a drum line battle ? Dynamics ? Various placements of inner and outer beats ??? Conversation between the bottom phrases within the cadences ??? Rudimental placement split between the top on cadences ??? 😩🤦🏽‍♂️ 😂 You typed a lot of bullshit lmao then asked if people agree or disagree.

[@DrumLuv23]

@@TazzKId You criticized, but provided NO type of rebuttal. If you are unaware of how musical elements are present, even in drum cadences, then we aren't analyzing this on the same level. There are musical motives. There is contrapuntal writing in appropriate voicings to compliment the motives. There is voice placement. There is balance: Who has the main theme? Are the other sections properly playing their parts in a way that compliment and accentuate the parts that are being played in the main voices? Does the line even UNDERSTAND that this is a thing? (Most don't. Most just get on drums and start chopping and banging.) Then there's the separate element of keeping the entire cadence in the pocket and each section doing their part to make sure that the music achieves this: Are the tenors rushing their off beats? (like most do) Do the basses have no concept of being the bottom? Are the cymbals not keeping their responsibility of being the glue that keeps time for everyone? I'm totally okay with the fact that you disagree. But now, give us YOUR take and analysis, then. Let's hear it,. Use the same breakdown scale. Because unlike you, I at least was disciplined enough to explain WHY I have my take. I'm waiting .

[@IAmJayvenReese]

Why so far from each other get closer next time good battle tho 😂😩🙁

[@KillaKevProd]

Because there's a whole football game going on.

[@pandomonium]

yeah there's not much room behind the goalposts in Grambling's stadium so as far back as I can remember, (which is the early 90's) TxSU (and other drumilnes) and Gram have always battled this way whenever they're in Eddie Rob Stadium
