The 2023 Cavaliers snares break down the Casey Claw

[@cullenmitvalsky1516]

Big D out here with the tough love 🥵

[@suttonjones3605]

We need way more of that in this activity

[@HueiYuanPan]

Awesome video. This is what few from the outside see, 10 people getting down to work, no crowd, no lights, and most importantly, no egos. WORKing hard and working smart. Practice like a Champion if you want to play like a Champion. 🏆 Much respect to these guys, a big thank you from an Cavalier FMM Snare!

[@TheBatteryArchive-jt5mc]

From one FMM to another, Thank You. To show the real in depth side of what a winning group rehearses like, was a priority to me. Stay tuned for more Cavalier 2023 rehearsal content. Splooie, brother.

[@Mr.LenardDrums]

Please please PLEASE do more of these. As an educator who wishes they could follow DCI staff all summer to learn, this is such a needed video!

[@DeeboComing]

They missed 3 opening attacks in a row on Speed Bumps 2. That pissed him off.

[@gerdychevelon8163]

I know this a snare drum focused video but can we also appreciate the bass drums going crazy in the distance 💪🏾🔥 11:45

[@buckyjames1898]

I can't be the only oldhead that hears tunak tunak tun at 3:12

[@Moosepants12]

That's a tight line

[@bobbarksofficial4335]

Magic in the making!

[@tomkaufman3914]

Their rob rolls are tight with the swiss triplets and claw roll make it a innovative slow backsticking visual epic percussion feature.

[@j.franknash8989]

Got to watch these guy for a bit in Allentown, definitely on fire

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

Such a amazing snare line So together and the snare tech is brutal but has great teaching and rehearsal strategies! love from a phantom regiment trombonist (marched 2018,2019,2021) studied engineering in America for 4 years (originally from Sweden) and took advantage of being a musician and decided to take my chance and took the audition and got a spot Best 3 summers of my life

[@aaronjprice826]

Is there another Phantom Regiment that I've never heard of? Because we didn't have any foreign members (not to mention Buicks) in 2021

[@danielsimerly9780]

Bro's out hear tryna steal SUTA. I definitely would've remembered having a Swedish guy in the euphonium section with me for 3 years.

[@cilantro-whomst]

Must've been in an alternate timeline 🤷‍♀️ love from a cavaliers French hornist (marched 1993-2001)

[@iamlandonzock6295]

We know he’s talking about Boston being beat, those two lines were battling all season

[@bolson481]

love the mic setup in this video! sounds very nice

[@popeyesailor9571]

They never show this right on flo

[@wowtiy6703]

flo doesnt show a lot of things right

One of the many motives of The Battery Archive is to provide the community with a realistic perception of the hard work and training of the long standing groups of drum corps international. More organic content is on the way!

Nice

[@parkersylla9548]

Just so you know, cuz I got corrected, it’s called the cavs claw. The cavaliers did it first in the 90’s and Casey copied it in 2006 for his I&E. Cavs own it. I grew up the same way thinking brohard did it first and I even did it when I marched in 2011 (Blue Knights).

[@juneyellowsnek]

Doesn't really matter honestly. They might have done it first, but he's the reason anybody knows it exists at this point. It's not 'owned' by anybody, anyways. I'm gonna continue calling it the Casey claw because I don't care nearly enough to change my vocabulary to make the organization happy and detract from his effort to popularize it, and I know most people agree.

[@parkersylla9548]

@@juneyellowsnek good luck to you and your endeavors

[@juneyellowsnek]

@@parkersylla9548 ok?

[@paradiddle5664]

It is absolutely 100% called the Casey Claw after Mark Casey who marched in the early 90’s. He was on staff when it was in the 1995 show.

[@parkersylla9548]

@@paradiddle5664 damn I stand corrected again…. I’m all messed up with this. Misinformation everywhere. Back to Casey claw lol Someone from the cavs corrected me saying it was the “cavs claw” but reading more in to it it seems so coincidental that brohard did it and most of my generation knows it from that. Thanks for the info

[@Bluntermocha]

For the algorithm

[@Brockstar]

It's absolutely inconceivable to me these guys won drums against any of the major competitors. The book is scarcely more difficult than a HS book (and lesser so in the case of some HS lines). I had excellent seats (section 139, row 9) at Finals. If they were cleaner than anyone else, it was marginal, but after factoring the simplicity of their book, they should not have even been contenders for the drum title. BD, Boston, and several others' books were WAY more difficult and they were no less clean.

[@Bluntermocha]

Either your a troll or just don’t know you’re talking about. This is just categorically false. The percussion caption involves more than the snareline my dude. And when does it become about musicality and not “how many notes can I fit into this amount of counts”. It shouldn’t matter that your book is hard, the focus should be clarity and musicality. Which the cavies perc section AS A WHOLE had in abundance and plenty of flare to go along with it. Nobody asked for your head ass takes homes.

[@LocksmithLegend23]

Not reading all that

[@dosssey]

cap

[@birthgravy]

Less is more, especially in this instance. The book was a bit minimalized but it was clean as a diamond. Crusaders and BD could've had a more complex book but some of the simplicity was lost in the mix of all the crazy abstract, off-meter notation and fancy visuals. You also gotta factor in drill and how well they execute it along with the book, and of course we can't forget the entire front ensemble who carried a lot of the load themselves.

[@discochicken]

Cavaliers pit played a part in that trophy win. Their pit schools most if not all other pits. Every pit is emulating the standard the Cavaliers set for modern drumcorps pits back in the 90s.

[@StephenKershaw1]

is it me or something reverbing and distorting sound? but incredible drumline and corps this year!
