Instagram Live Q&A Highlights with the 2017 and 2018 Bluecoats Center Snares

I grew up with Zach Fitzgibbon in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, and now we are the 2017 and 2018 Bluecoats Drumline section leaders. I thought it'd be cool for us to sit down on Instagram live to hang out, answer some questions, and do some drumming! Here are the highlights from the live stream.

[@andrewjohnson4596]

Found that clarinet player

[@mrbellafante1]

Andrew Johnson hahaha

[@shaundavis5882]

Gabe Hicks become drumline section leader of the bluecoats then talk

[@archivedinformation7689]

I love that Sebastian asked a question on how to make the bluecoats based on having not as much experience. And he is in the bluecoats and I watch his streams all the time to ask questions

[@tyyyyy_111]

love how Sebastian asks a question about how to stand out and was the center snare for bloo last season

[@johndonnell5162]

New drinking game: Take a shot every time zach does a sticks in

[@alexneagu8212]

Take a shot every time Zach hits a shot

[@JRBanitt]

Take a shot every time zach plays while Kyle is trying to talk

[@stevenhatcher9133]

Take a shot every time Zach does a McNutt Special

[@Dwightt101]

Great video, I asked the question about the style switching, thanks for answering!

[@calebsandum9970]

This is the greatest video I've seen in like a yearrr

[@OffWorldPercussionInc]

Hey, those look like Invaders! ;)

[@evandufrene5925]

I’ve seen these guys in live it just feels weird to watch someone and also Zach 2018 center snare hella good

[@willaselby]

YES, I missed the hat thing on the live video! I love it

[@Severen45]

He marched Cadets so they were like "play lower".... Gaaaaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! I love it.

[@abigailcreed]

Kyle this is gr8

[@abigailcreed]

2x speed is amazing

[@HalloGais]

2 Years later and this video is still great! Lol

[@adamsecor3251]

Hey Kyle. Love your videos and enjoy watching you play. I was wondering what kind of sticks you use. Do you have a favorite???

[@nathanhavey1]

where can i find sheets for post nasal drip, i tried to look it up and all i get are symptoms of post nasal drip

[@conlinsauder8836]

Bro, I’m craving them pretzel crisps now, soooo good

[@boominpictures9325]

Anyone have an idea for the snare drum tuning for bottom and top heads?

[@alexjones1349]

What's your favorite kind of sticks to use?

[@aaronbailie7200]

Cool video!

[@KyleTsuchiya]

Hi Aaron

[@leahramirez2475]

kyle after the SRC lick: “coolest moment of my entire life” me: what about marching for the blue coats??😂

[@nickisacoff7100]

whats the warmup at 7:52?

[@braedonbomgardner2911]

How do I get ahold of the Susie Q sheet music?

[@aidenbrandenburg9884]

wait so did zach play sax in winter concert band and was still in drumline in the summer throughout high school or did he switch to percussion fully

[@jayprivacy1900]

Hey Kyle, where can you find the whole hour? I looked on instagram.

[@loganknight6454]

AYY Twitch made it here sorta! I requested that

[@KyleTsuchiya]

I wanted to include the entire (failed) attempt at playing twitch but for some reason my camera has a 30 min record limit! So it stopped recording right before we played twitch and I had to go start it again :( But thank you for asking us to do that. It was funny

[@williampreston5935]

What stands are those?

[@juansanchez4678]

Damn “sebastainplaysdrums” is now on the babeline. Your answer probably got him in haha

[@kietey14]

Missed all of this! Would have loved to have been a part of it.

[@KyleTsuchiya]

Sorry you missed it! I'll be on IG live again soon I'm sure. But if you have a question for either Zach or I, feel free to ask away!

[@ethanphillips4620]

What is that song in the intro and out to

[@brianhua3672]

What pad stand do you use?

[@mrbellafante1]

Minnesota boys!! Noyce

[@kennethsperanza89]

Can you do another Q&A here on KZbin? I dont have insta lmao

[@KyleTsuchiya]

I'd love to, but Idk if I have a large enough following on here yet to justify doing that haha

[@kennethsperanza89]

Lmao well my question is probably going to be, of all the years you marched Bluecoats, which book was the most fun to play?

[@KyleTsuchiya]

That's a really tough one! Each book was pretty different, which was really cool. The Jagged Line book definitely challenged me the most, and I really enjoyed the challenge, so I guess I'll choose that one

[@mikel7505]

Heres a question hopefully you can answer. What do recommend for someone to practice if they want to make it into DCI/world class wgi? I'm 16 and im marching in a dca drumcorp to increase my skill and my goal is to hopefully march bluecoats

[@ethanpierce324]

Mike L private lessons, probably from a dci vet but it doesn't have to be. They'll teach you a whole plethora of stuff you need and how to improve

[@KyleTsuchiya]

This is a seemingly dumb response, but getting better really isn't rocket science... all you have to do is identify what you're strengths/weaknesses are and then work your butt off to make those weaknesses not weaknesses anymore. And if you need help identifying your strengths and weaknesses are, find someone that can help you

[@user-jd6jm7yy9b]

What stick do you use?

[@slamdaddyjr2582]

Intro and outro music?

[@ethanphillips4620]

Whats is that song in the intro?

[@ginnyacosta6242]

does anyone know his intro song ? :)

[@skaynekurtis]

Let's get to what's important these days: U pullin' for the Golden Knights, Kyle?? Meantime, really wish Bluecoats would travel west for the Rose Bowl shows... loving DCI in Vegas!

[@KyleTsuchiya]

Ha, the Minnesota Wild are my team of course... But yeah I'd love if the Golden Knights won the cup. It's crazy an expansion team is that good

[@dannyhammond9635]

skaynekurtis caps already bringing it in this year, tryna get Ovechkin that cup

[@matthewharrison430]

Kyle Tsuchiya Go Wild

[@jayprivacy1900]

Is Gatorade sponsoring this? If not, they should. Made me want a foamy white Gatorade.

[@dustinhodges4458]

Jay P this made me want gummy bears

[@zanderman27]

It's weird how I'm a percussionist and I also have a best friend named Zach that plays the saxophone

[@aidanstewart3062]

BloodFire I also have someone who went from sax to percussion, but his name is Elijah...

[@benhemrick6304]

What pads were y’all using?

[@notsnqwy5181]

a little late but it’s the offworld invader v3!!

[@Sq_idy]

Is it supposed to be dci or dca cause I heard he said dca

[@KyleTsuchiya]

ThienlongGamer RobloxGamer not totally sure what you're asking... but Zach and I have both matched DCI and DCA

[@Sq_idy]

Kyle Tsuchiya soo you said dca and I have no clue what dca mean but idk if you meant dci but what is dca

[@KyleTsuchiya]

Ohhh I gotcha. DCA stands for Drum Corps Associates. It's a competitive drum corps circuit separate from DCI that is comprised of all-age drum corps primarily in the East Coast

[@califax1466]

Hola?

[@reecebernard88]

Zach sounds like elastigirl but masculine

[@paulboe8204]

Little did Kyle and Zach know they both had to learn and play twitch anyways

[@bernie9543]

I guess Sebastian listened

[@_.lxghthxnds._]

Zach was early on the buzz💀

[@sagedelaney2813]

I’m a junior in high school... my first year playing snare, and I’m center. I’ve been a percussionist all my life, and pick things up quickly. What do you think my chances are of making the bluecoats even once?

[@KyleTsuchiya]

Anyone can make the Bluecoats as long as they practice well and stay hungry enough. It sounds like you're off to a good start!

[@1Bassy]

4:20 if anyone needs a laugh or aomething

[@mase8832]

Does Zach ever blink?

[@joshmtapia7152]

Josh

[@natesiebert2840]

3:30 lol foreshadowing

[@DissonanceBeauty]

Hella snacks

[@rylandcook5301]

before you started marching with bluecoats, how was your high school marching experience? i noticed you said you’re from eden prairie, one of the best bands in the state. do you think being in of one the top bands promotes team building and compassion, or is it just trying to figure out how to beat Rosemount year after year?

[@KyleTsuchiya]

Ryland Cook My experience at EP was amazing! I'm very thankful for the opportunities I had while I was there. It was never about winning... I can't necessarily speak for other high school band programs, but I think the marching band activity as a whole promotes team building and personal growth over 'competitive success.'

[@alvinviklund]

me when teacher gives me homework - 4:20

[@vibewith.aaron0418]

I'm exactly like zach i play an instrument but want to play in a drum line but I'm a HORRIBLE drummer

[@KyleTsuchiya]

Trust me... Zach was too hahaha. We all were at one point. But I saw Zach work his butt off for years to get better, and his diligence paid off... I really admire him for that. It's totally possible to make the switch to a drum and get really good at it! But you have to work really really hard like Zach did

[@benerickson2067]

@@vibewith.aaron0418 also if you're entering your freshman year, try to buy some sticks online, preferably ralf hardimons or something along that and get a practice pad. Theres plenty of tutorials on traditional grip on youtube

And then Sebastian marched bloo...
