How to play Blue Devils 1997 Shopping Spree

[@user-jj6nm6xy8y]

I spent high school watching the video tapes of all these Blue Devil lot warmups from the late 90s in a small town away from everything. Yes TAPES! Grainy tapes. Never tried hard enough until I discovered these videos last year. It is just mind blowing to actually be playing these even though I aged out 20 years ago. I mean yeah, I admit, the late 90s Blue Devils were all I wanted to be as a kid. It is like an emptiness has been filled and all is well. After marching tenors once for Teal Sound in 2000 I quit music all together for college.

Geoff, thank you for doing something from way back when. Brings back memories of watching my first finals. I have a couple of things. I have "The Blue Devil Book of Drumming" from back in those dark ages. It was leather bound and hand written by monks. It has the third bar check written as tu chutas and that 2/4 bar as chu chutas. Thank you again. This is my favorite shopping spree. It's really nice to play with someone just to see if I can still hang.

[@FreestyleRudiments]

Cool I will have to check that. The ending was different to at some point.

[@glim3125]

I'm not sure what a chuchuta is but it sounds like it would be two accented flams followed by a non accented tap? I slowed down a video from 97 and it looks and sounds like they are playing chutichas on the 2/4 bar. Accented flam, non accented tap, non accented flam. Is there different versions that they played in 97? I'm trying to create the definitive sheet music for this spree to learn and share with friends but I come across a lot of conflicting results.

I was legit so happy when my alert said "How to play Blue Devils 199.." lol

[@FreestyleRudiments]

[@Mozfrm314]

Thanks

I absolutely love this spree and '99 when I was drumming back then. The interesting part about the phrase after the inverted flam taps is that it's written in 4/4, but the eighth-note pulse is in the same triplet quarter-note pulse that starts the spree.

[@henne2k]

99! Iconic! there was a time when everybody could play that 😄

[@TikTok_refugees1977]

As i was practicing this i got better at doing flam accents thank you for the lesson and have a good morning 🌞🌄

[@trizlet]

Hey man, question for you. How did you get into American rudimental drumming in the U.K., when pipe band drumming is the dominant style there? Only reason I ask is I'm American and play in a pipe band, so I also play the less popular style in my country...

[@FreestyleRudiments]

I did drum corps in the uk and then came over to usa for auditions and tour. I marched and taught in dci for few years

[@BillyOcean336]

[@FLX_AU]

Where else did you march outside of BD? I know you were in BD Q5 in 1995, but did you march in other groups before or after?@@FreestyleRudiments

[@FreestyleRudiments]

@@FLX_AU I marching in the UK and did DIV 2 in US with English corps called Pride of Bristol, then BD 95, then I went to uni un UK so could not to dci (our school year is different) but I moved out late and did Cadets 1997 (tenors). Then I taught at blue coats for 2 summers.

[@curtthechameleon]

We did a rudiment called Shopping Spree at the Canton Bluecoats tryout back in 96. Not sure if it originated there?

[@Smesh_U]

Could you breakdown the 2014 SCV snare feature? 2012 and 2014 from SCV are two of my favorites snare breaks ever I learned the one from 2012 but always struggled with the feature from 2014. Just getting back into drumline music after 4-5 years out of marching band from highschool, just found your channel and I’ve been really enjoying your work! Amazing stuff!

[@nbctheoffice]

I love me some 2014 SCV!

[@Smesh_U]

@@nbctheoffice yea nobody has ever broken it down and I learned the 2012 feature from snare science back in high school. This guy does amazing work and is very similar to snare science that channel is where I learned to play higher level music.

[@Smesh_U]

@@nbctheoffice it’s one of my favorite lines for sure

[@rulyhyperion8277]
