Norfolk State vs SCSU-MDFS 2010

[@chemist8897]

Oh my gawd....them bassess are SICK!!!!! The whole drumline..sounds great as always!! #1

[@TheDragonmaster18]

this was excellent. it wouldve sounded better outside on the football feild though since the sound would have some where to go. MMDFS is one of the best HBCU lines out there. i would like to see these guys go up against TxSU FUNK TRAIN

[@krumpboiruthless]

wooooww MDFS definitely one of their best shows. im sooo glad i can hear the bassline alone and hear them good!! sooo, can the first tonal played lend me his wrists please?? lol great show!!

[@Houston1906]

Nice and very clean! Good job MDFS! Would love to see then add some tenor drums to the line though!

[@franzswa]

By Far The Best HBCU Drumline In The Land.....

[@Congobruh4]

@bluephi182k yea and again u have a point, but consider the fact that even tho SCSU is a show style line, they have incorporate corp style chopping in their shows, prime example, the 1st Performance from Warren County 2009, they still chopped and play their usual type style

[@MillioNDollargRl09]

Ey yo I knew yall would put it down, I'm mad just mad i was not there to hold it down with yall MD4lyfe...#11 09

[@stutta3]

omg!!i reely love MDFS!!cant wait till highskool is ova so i can go lol

[@AKINGSKYD]

Both lines did ok. IMO, I think this is an apple vs orange arguement that'll never be solved. It just depends on your taste. MD entertained but were dirty in some spots, and BBI chopped it up like no tomorrow but a newborn could've slept in the crowd. At the end of the day both lines could've done a little better, but the sad thing about it is they're still light years ahead of most lines on these days.

[@Askanison29]

Yeah they did..in the very early 80's before they started using Tonal bases. But with the change and then of course with the multi-tenors there was no need for them. The soundscape evolved. But we still have them in the alumni band though.

[@Mrunbiased1]

BBI was more technical and was clean as heck. I love being entertained but give me clean and technical anyday. BBI took this one but MD represented as well.

[@NCzProdigy910]

virginia bands dont usually march tenors

[@rudeboy338]

now nsu drumline there good give props where there do the band as a whole bring heat when they come

[@blkplaya9891]

@Alderan2008 yes they BBI was actually cleaner. MDFS was entertaining you say? Ahh Ha. You mean they were more Cold Steelish. Their quints were the only thing that stood out in their routine, but to me BBI played with a purpose and the crowd was more appreciative of that.

[@franzswa]

Great Drumline!!!!!!

[@kingjokerful]

@ProfoundChopper2010 it waz slightliy dirty in the begining of it anyway

[@Chris.M96]

That quint solo though @ 3:00 and that bass line solo

[@Congobruh4]

My opinion, i say dat the battle between MDFS and BBI is a draw.......technical standpoint, BBI all day long, entertainment wise, MDFS got it, i love both drumlines, mainly BBI cuz dats wat i came up watching and playing, and MDFS captured me with all the grooves, and bass drum solos, but to me on the most part, its about giving the crowd a show and thats what MDFS did, if u really listen to the crowds reaction to BBI, it was dead, but of course, dey gonna make noise for the home team

[@Askanison29]

@ced12 Man plz..they're still more technically sound than BBI AND you mean other HBCU drumlines are trying to emulate MD...check your facts and history.

[@NCzProdigy910]

@bdbcorp depends where you are from. Down south Show style/High stepping marching bands call them tenors or single tenors. Not saying you are wrong. But its all where u are from.

[@AKINGSKYD]

@RANSOMPAIDFOR ....MD defenitely could've been cleaner but its obvious that their show had a bit more entertainment than BBI. You can clearly hear the crowd more during their show than BBI. Not saying it's a bad thing....just saying.

[@duecejsmooth2]

@TheDragonmaster18 actually,in dci you age out after the age of 21so i wouldnt consider them pros but I strongly agree with the point you are making

[@Jay201309Dee]

What does MDFS stand for?

[@justjay07]

SCSU take note... You guys are very very good. notices the slow griws ...Notice there isnt overplaying by the entire line every beat of the measure so the parts can be heard cleanly. Notice who the drumes are tuned. SCSU is great but its the small thins that make the difference between the two. SCSU is the only thing stopping themselves from being the bEST. drop a base or two and clean up the sound of them. Be more creative and u got the crown hands down. Until then MDFS it is

[@dsmalls100]

@Askanison no offense but im a member of scsu drumline...and we play way more difficult stuff then u think.. our show was dedicated to a fallen member and understand we are a meac drumline, not a dci drumline. we dont try to emulate them, but even nsu fans say they took a L ..so it is wat it is

[@silkaem]

No disrespect to the other drumlines MDFS battles throughout the seasons, but I've noticed those lines tend to sound like NOISE to be... It's loud, it's overbearing, sometimes boring and unorganized. With MD, I know what I'm going to get: clarity!!!

[@DrumLuv23]

.....now that I DIDN'T know. Wow. Learn something new every day. Lol

[@smoovdaddy91]

Our BD line is on some other shit...like really! You dont have to love it, just respect it.

[@FLEETWOOD1017]

you know whats missing?? They dont do what every other drumline do...they do their OWN THING...like it or not..its always tight....

[@AKINGSKYD]

@daphen0m.....Good point. Lines can't please everybody these days. Like I told some guy before, ScoJo could drop from the sky and chop cleaner than a brand new white T-shirt with these guysand somebody will still find some sort-of loophole.

[@DrumLuv23]

All due respect...if MD added tenors to the line I think there would be an uprising. LOL

[@GirlDadKj]

and as clean as you are sometimes (in this show there was alot of dirt, but i know how clean yall usually are), yall put me to sleep 6 mins out of the 7 min show... if yall didnt Bow at the end i promise u yall would hear crickets lol....

[@kingjokerful]

@dedrickp i feel you

[@AKINGSKYD]

now clearly the basses have tone out the wahoo.

[@vrian123]

nsu d-line is sick

[@dedrickp]

They got chops, and they got talent, but there is something missing. Dont get me wrong, these cats are good. but there is just something missing

[@Askanison29]

@ced12 Thank you Ced..thanx for showing us where you are...just so you know MDFS will completely embarrass the majority of most HBCU lines if they straight got down to it and all of y'all know it. It touches a nerve, thats ok I get it. But dont let your pride make you look silly. MD was being entertaining for the crowd. Its funny how folks would say.."y'all were technical but not entertaining" Now when they entertain your arses its the other way around..I get it now..and so does MD trust me.

[@Congobruh4]

@bluephi182k well u have a point

[@kingjokerful]

they had em back in the day

[@dsmalls100]

@njtrumpet if any body drums need to be tune....u kno nevamind.....its over....big ups to both schools

[@daphen0m]

seriously? Bluedevils? Although I agree that parts are dirty you can't compare a line that moves in and plays their drums fulltime to a line that only practices after classes for a semester.

[@tswtz2012]

why would anyone dislike this?

[@MusicManC]

Go MD yall held sections battle down 4 NSU good job...

[@1snare]

i liked em both. But scsu was more crowd enthused. Only so much choppin you can do before you loose the crowd.

[@CleanIsClean]

Sounds like Paul Rennick's tuning

[@ReeseUni]

Yesss @5:10!!!

[@AKINGSKYD]

@ProfoundChopper2010 real talk

[@8fourstar]

Where the tenors

[@stutta3]

@tswtz2012..they pressed the button on accident..lol

[@kingjokerful]

lmmmaaaoooooooo damn dude i kno dat shit waz heavy son lmao

[@kingjokerful]

@Qdog2321 dude dynasties are heavy as helll!!!!

[@Maestrosik]

@Mrunbiased1 ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!! Yeah you right i could have sworn u said something different last year ..... but Hey JMO....

[@GirlDadKj]

One thing i can say i really dont like about MDFS, is there shows never flow, i understand u might wanna showcase the Snares then the Sixes and the tonals, but that whole tap off before solo shit is corny

[@Alderan2008]

@dsmalls100...BBI cleaner than MDFS please LMAO.......MDFS put on a drum clinic down there...they were way cleaner and way more entertaining. It was too much muddy mess going on mixed with tenor drums and kettle drums.

[@dsmalls100]

@TravelerofFortune ur entitled to ur own opinion.......

[@Gigsteve]

@dsmalls100 wow...really???

[@757PercussionSTS]

Grid Somethin'....

[@dsmalls100]

Bongo Brothers took this one,,sorry MDFS.....they were cleaner and the they were better

[@jwa757]

aint nobody seeing md

[@kingjokerful]

no lie this is bad for mdfs it was dirty in alot of spots expecially tenors man it waz still sweet tho

[@jamesriles3]

Tuning drums..1st of all..MDFS have better drums than SCSU...material...SCSU had harder material..especially their snares. MDFS played at the same tempo almost the entire show...put SCSU on a set of PEARLS..and let them play the show again .SCSU was def cleaner. But..I def don't see ANY OTHER HBCU DLINE PLAYING WITH THESE 2LINES..BCU will be the closest if so...................

[@SpongeBQT]

:)

[@804beatmaker]

I swear nsu is like da only drumline dats tunes there drums da right way

[@CollegeKiddKelvin]

I fucks with the material, I just can't stand how y'all tune the drums... Wet ass snares and basses, no tone

[@TheDragonmaster18]

@kphicap one their two different styles of marching, two one is pro and other is college and three the blue devils arenot entertaining like these guys shown here

[@CleanIsClean]

You mean toms

[@RANSOMPAIDFOR]

could have been cleaner...... but yea, boring much. the main thing that has always killed MD is their lack of good transitions.......

[@kingjokerful]

@tswtz2012 cuz this waz their dirtiest show ive seen from them ever yo , dey sweet but dey feel off in dis performance it waz dirt all over the place

[@757PercussionSTS]

MDF$ took a L? Really? HaHaHa (Duece 2010)

[@franzswa]

Two Great Drumlines in Battle with NSU being the better of the two.

[@Kashyouz]

@tswtz2012 onli ah salty SCSU drummer wud dislike dis lmfao i kno i wuda ben hot if i waz n dey shoes

[@chopzilla90]
