*Note, I learned all of this music by ear. I have no sheet music or transcriptions of this music. I am not associated with the Top Secret Drum Corps, and I am not a member of their snareline.

Probably

[@cmdrtyy]

He is using the same sticks as the Drum Corps, ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!!

[@coolHawk_]

My thought too

[@coolHawk_]

Atomous Yeah, true that.

[@rotflmaopmpqxyz]

"and I am not a member of their snareline"... sounds like something a member of a group called "Top Secret Drum Corps" might say

[@akiranakamura9334]

rotflmaopmpqxyz you’re so right

[@WyattPetersen]

rotflmaopmpqxyz he probably is, look at his sticks, drums and he is exactly on even when they don’t show it :)

[@stevebonds4698]

I enjoy this so much. I always wanted to be a drummer in school but was given the clarinet instead which I hated. I still to this day want to do a drum line. I think there is nothing greater to watch in a marching band then them Great job.

[@kebo9272]

Ive watched this video like a million times

[@yachtboy6756]

You should be hearing from DCI shortly

[@gagemartin4681]

Yacht Boy top secret doesn’t even COMPARE to the cleanliness and difficulty of Drum Corps. They might compare to a low level open class Corp or maybe even a DCA Corp

[@michaelmiller7909]

Yeah, this is a joke compared to drum corps. I'd bet a large portion of the actual top secret line wouldn't make 5th bass.

[@AtomousDrumsOfficial]

😂👌👏👏👏

[@ronmargerumjr7137]

@Gage Martin. Being Fair to DCA as I marched DCA for 3 years, this performance was easy compared to what Drum Corps does. Yes, it was a good video and the end was cool too with the light. However, his drumming and performance does not begin to compare to a REAL DCI or DCA drum corps (any class)

[@ladistar]

Michael Miller lol dude these guys are just as good as the cadets or blue devils

[@davidgillespie7685]

Absolutely amazing. well done young man. Such Precision.

[@Soulofjazzman]

Dude! Amazing work! I can’t imagine how long it took you to memorize each change to mimic it exactly.

[@jessra5263]

The glowly drumsticks were so cool

[@dratam4ever]

You have gotten better over time!!! One thing I can give you though is your accents on some of the accents I see you kind of swiping just imagine that the stick is on a path it shouldn’t go off that path but rather on the path. If you swipe you don’t want that you want the stick to go vertically up and down no diagonal when you go up and down it gives you better sound quality

[@maevahanisi]

Crazy good! Perfecto!

[@tj1lincoln182]

only thing he missing is that skirt for the snare that says top secret and the uniform and hat other than that on point

I think it's inspirational and it's also a great training vid..In the vid of the secret drum corps the different angles from the cameras don't show us the routine but what the 17 year old doing it is also teaching snare drummers who are ready to move to that level..I really enjoyed this..

The last part is cool but i can to, it's just the trick of listening (and maybe having a uncle that is in the M.I.B. drumcorms from Gilze Reijen, they do actually the same thing with some parts a bit different but this is much cooler i also like the fithing part also learnd that but that is not in this clip)

[@MichaelOKC]

Also. Aside from the choreographed stick work which takes hours of practice, the rhythms are composed from standard drum rudiments. Like scales and chords for other instruments
