Seriously, thank you so much for this awesome footage! Favorite lot video from this past year by far. :-)

[@gridbooknation]

Brandon Olander That means so much Brandon! Thank you! It was a fun lot and we had a great time putting it together!

[@Jesse_DoddMusic]

What happened to the snare drummer Jacob?

[@alexlopez515]

@@Jesse_DoddMusic I was asking the same thing man I hope he is ok

[@kobedrums]

That snare break gives me anxiety and I love it 😂

[@CyrusYareff]

Lol I was in the BD baseline in 2006. That was the first year for this set of warmups. Hearing them still playing these 12 years later made me laugh. Those bass splits got me a bit excited! Sounds smooth evil bass! For those interested some of those bass splits were from some of our show music in 2006. There's been a part of the Godfather: Part Blue in every warmup session ever since!

[@robertdickensmusic]

Cy-Fi!

[@CyrusYareff]

@@robertdickensmusic hey Robert!! We should catch up sometime! Hope you're doing well!

[@morgannowlen8375]

Just love that ghost L 19:47 in the middle of their solo. It goes with the weird random spacey-like style of the solo. Can't have a BD show without ghost strokes now.

[@gridbooknation]

Love that part!!

[@coolkid6793]

THIS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE LOT PERFORMANCES IVE EVER SEEN

[@PVMacFunkBox]

15:40 the best I've heard in all of drumming in a while... shout out to Scojo... much love

[@KarlDrumTech]

Oh man, great use of mics, high frame rates and multi angles...of course, those clean prelims beats too...woooh!!!! That and stick clicks in the lot are undervalued lol

[@gridbooknation]

Thanks Karl!

[@mikerom7991]

the dopeness of it all!

[@michaelbierek1385]

So glad there's finally a good recording of these guys, the sound on other lot vids takes a lot of the top end off the audio spectrum, making it sound kinda muffled. Thanks for sharing!

[@gridbooknation]

Thanks Michael! We work really hard to make sure the audio is as high quality as possible recording on the go! Means a lot that you noticed! Cheers!

[@cmqguy]

Nice camera work of the whole drum line and not just the snares and quads/ tenors. Love it. Until next season. GO CONCORD BLUE DEVILS!!!

[@joshuagharis9017]

The unity of sound. 😊

[@aleccarriedo8279]

Lots of people say I know say they are not big fans of the new sound of the System Blue drums. I actually really enjoy the tuning snd overall sound the line puts out! Awesome vid of awesome playing!

[@JohnJohn-ir5hw]

At WORST, the Blue Devils drumline sounds UNIQUE! I'm not bashing any of the fine lines' of recent years, and Blue Devils have NEVER been my favorite, but.... hold it, somewhere around 4:25 (as I'm typing) this line is quite simply grooving. Superb touch from the entire line!!!! Awesome. It's just great to have the Blue Devils to listen to when every other line sounds like every other line (except for BD). Kudos, and thank you BD.

[@xoespin]

my school has them, they can sound really good but personally dynasty and yamaha are my favorites

[@jacobputnam5508]

Brandon looks like a magician with a beard

[@coolkid6793]

I love the bass

[@Iplayquad]

What a unit!

[@TylerDunphy]

14:00 lol, that's ripped straight from 2017 (right before the ballad) down to the note! to be fair, it was super fun to play lol.

[@joshuagharis9017]

The snare solo, not easy. All the space, tight rolls and diddles woowee

[@sikeyouthought3019]

[@S1lv3rdo7]

[@cp_drums]

did they charge to watch their lot?

[@dannypendergrass1164]

Lol no. D'Addario just put up some lights and bleachers for the lot in front of their merch booth.

[@ekodevil7593]

What’s the warmup at 8:45

[@gridbooknation]

A lot of times drumlines will play breakdown exercises for their show music as opposed to a written exercise with a name. This seems like an isolation exercise made up for this part of the show. (They play as a tag at the end.) But if anyone knows this exercise and it has a name, let us know!

[@tit3350]

Is it just me or was the dude not clicking in time lol
