There was a little deaf girl in my Sunday school class. She couldn't hear the music, but when the drums began to play, she lit up. You feel the drum with your whole body. It penetrates to your very soul. Love the drum.

Love melodic basses. Grew up in drum corps (timptoms and snare) and any time we'd see a drum line doing this I was mezmarized. One of the most memorable was the bass line for the old Kingston Indians. So melodic and funky! Loved it!

My honest assessment: even though EC was definitely smaller, they projected more and had a better balance. They got the win for this one. Benedict's leg tenors and blast basses in the back overpowered the rest by a bit, which kinda affected the balance, but after listening to both snarelines at the low end, EC had cleaner taps and low height rolls. I kinda wish EC would get themselves a quadline to have the tonality and voicings, but that'll come. overall: EC: clean, balanced, but not enough voices, but also played original material, though it was a bit repetitive. No screw ups with the material or any stick drops, bassline knew when to back off. I give a 9/10 Benedict: fuzzy around low heights with the snareline, prolly because there's so many of them. Decent balance, little too much at the back end, original material, and good voicings. (stick drop at the beginning gets them -1 though, but +0.5 for a good recovery) I give a 8/10
@williamp.21402 жыл бұрын
I actually enjoyed hearing ECSU . I still think Bendict College has the edge over them with better balance and versatility but being that this was in a gym and not outside, I can respect what you had to say about balance and sound clarity considering the echoes from the enclosed gym space 👍🏾

I was listening to some African drums and wanted to hear American drums.. your stomach, your heart, your appetite will always glue, to the drums, of your own ancestors, better than a Midwest native American, Africa, Hawaiian, Asian, or English drum. March on, playas'.. that's outstanding. It doesn't sound like you're from Africa to me. Whether we're dealing with military great-grandfathers marching and celebrating in uniform or natives in the woods by the Creeks, this is North American southern soul music. traditions cannot be transferred to someone different. Unity will always remain immaculate.. if we are supposed to be from Africa then why don't Africans use drumsticks, twirl drum sticks and tap cymbals? Where'd that tradition come from?
