The 90, 91, 92 Crossmen were some straight up rammers. Love these lines.

[@FreestyleRudiments]

This one is a proper work out 💪💪💪

[@petehilario3292]

I'm working on this ! Great job, 92 was my year !

[@petehilario3292]

They sound very very tight. Man I love these videos, thank you so much, please keep posting "warm ups" Thank you thank you!

[@FreestyleRudiments]

More to come!

[@tsan3796]

Crossmen with M Thurston. reinvented groove

[@markthurston9256]

You would have fit in perfectly Geoff! Nice work!

[@FreestyleRudiments]

THIS COMMENT MADE MY DAY! thanks loved that era, vibe and line!!

[@humbrah12]

Thank you for bringing attention to one of my favorite lines of all time!!! As a member from 94 and 95, I would like to mention, the technique is still derived from turning the wrists. The arm movement is only residual. A result of allowing your hands and thus arms, to react to the natural rebound. By no means can I play even remotely as good as that now, let alone back in the day so do not think I am being negative! You are amazing. I just wanted to note that these guys had a ton of control even though they look "big". The drums were also a bit low even by those days, I assume to give more range of motion for volume. But don't let the big strokes reflect lack of control!!! These dudes brought a quality of sound that wasn't being done at the time...BOOTS

Another great play-along warm up. Especially loving the 5:4 section. Thanks very much Geoff!

[@FreestyleRudiments]

Thanks forcwatching

[@lukascalvert6484]

These cats were absolute ballers…good work dude

[@FreestyleRudiments]

Yea. This makes you realise how good lines were even in 92

[@tsan3796]

My era of DCI warm ups - stands? We don’t need no stinking stands ! 😊

[@MrGrundle]

Good flam warmup. Thanks for sharing!

[@kevinmcdermott5518]

Jesus MERCY what a cool video! I was in the 92 Crossmen as a soprano - these cats were the absolute TITS from day 1. Thanks for this...

[@kurryseymour2874]

I marched 1993-1994 -- great job with getting the style. Fun Thurston Beats !!

[@shockerthreeone]

I remember when Premier Drums came on the scene in the 90’s and everyone started using them much like Dynasty in early 2000s and Mapex today.

[@FreestyleRudiments]

Premier had a huge market share back then with the first hts snares...

[@keithbarnes9419]

Those Premier Snares sounded so good. Wish they still made them.

[@Anchormen1778]

Go bones! Great video Geoff 😊

[@HE360]

The way we play the beats between 1:10 and 1:24 is after we play that part, we mix them together. We play the 2s on one hand and the 3s on the other hand and then switch them. It becomes a groove after that.

[@FreestyleRudiments]

harder than it sounds!

[@diamante6043]

Just learned this. THANKS! THIS IS SO FUN OMG

[@FreestyleRudiments]

nice work!

[@ryanpritchard6956]

Hey Geoff! It’s been a minute! I’m glad I came across your channel. It’s good to see you again - back from the Bluecoats years…I was the one everyone called “mini-me” (if you remember back from that Stone Age). I’ll be sending a bunch of my students to your channel too. Cheers!

[@FreestyleRudiments]

of course I remember you. Those were some great times. hope you are well, I assume you are still drumming?

[@BigRoss246]

Played this exercise for years back in the way back . One of the reasons my forearms are freakishly large. Permachops!

[@TheScorpio1999]

This is pretty much the double beat exercise we used at Morehead State when I marched there in the tenor line for 2 years. My first year, we decided to create some fun little chaos by doing the triple beat part while the snares did the double beat part, and then we did the double beat part while they did the triple beat part. There's a third part our line always did dating back to mid 90s, maybe before? Not sure when MSU started using it in our warm-up routine; I marched in 2001 and 2002. But yeah; the tenor part with triple beat over snares double beat and vice versa was a fun thing but we only did that my first year.

[@FreestyleRudiments]

sounds funky

[@mauricefrontz8570]

Absolutely

[@rachelraja7188]

@freestyle rudiments. Love the breakdowns. I havent picked up a pair of drum sticks for years but the sounds of dci drumlines always gets to me. Your videos actually made me want to practice again so i ordered a pad, some sticks and your book. Do you by anychance have a breakdown of blie devils ditty? If not could you do one? Them, vangaurd and cavaliers are my favorite lines of all time🫡

[@FreestyleRudiments]

This comment is perfect example of why I do these vids!! enjoy!! and here's the ditty : kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGLPpK2niZeepbM

The exercise at 9:20 is 6/8 Rolls. It's got a cool bass accent near the end.

[@ROCKNROLLFAN]

Man, I got work to do on my practice pad especially with mastering these cadences......

[@pharmaflam]

It's about time I bought you a pint ....

[@FreestyleRudiments]

Thanks for this, REALLY appreciated! I will enjoy the pint

GO BONES!!!

[@brianrandol]

I keep trying to send you the sheet music for the 1992 snare solo...the email is not going through.

[@FreestyleRudiments]

Go to website geoff-fry.com and try the email listed their. The freestylerudiments one doesn't work The domain was stolen😡

[@nedfairbanks2079]

My wrist are sore from watching ! Definitely ahead of their time though

[@goodnotemusicchannel479]

Ditty23 pleaseeeee

[@cloudminer2481]

Can you please do a breakdown in boston crusader spanks

[@FreestyleRudiments]

maybe in the future, tbh I cant figure out a way yet to teach the singles accent section without it taking a LONG time.

[@mrnicknick02]

@@FreestyleRudiments Can you legally do that though? Since that’s technically something you have to buy

[@FreestyleRudiments]

@mrnicknick02 well you can't have the original sheets and share or sell. But you can teach bar by bar with your own notation. But tbh that's why I don't give links to sheets to allow the writers to still sell sheets.

[@sp4c3d0ut8]

Can you do cavaliers 2023 snare break?

[@mrnicknick02]

He already did

[@sp4c3d0ut8]

@@mrnicknick02 I forgot to specifically ask for the snare break

[@FreestyleRudiments]

Yea I will do that one in the future
