"High Tempo, High Quality, Top Secret, All with Day Jobs... But Percussion, Rules Their Lives." Best Damn Quote I've Ever Heard.

[@spikesonthebrain]

"All with day jobs, but percussion rules their lives." So true about being on a drumline.

[@petetorley2985]

pure skill. they show why swiss watches are so accurate 🙌

[@mad4bookworm]

Can you imagine the hours and hours of practice that go into something like this? These guys are incredible. Thanks for sharing.

[@muzza512]

I've been drumming for over five years now with a teacher who has won the worlds and she says that what these guys are doing is extremely difficult standing still and is amazed that they managed this on the march.

[@godoffock82]

Fuck do these guys put on a show. Their drill is tricky and brutal, their scores are talented, their showmanship is of a dancer and stage combat, their equipment has been altered for one hell of a light show. I played in P&D bands that played at the Edinburgh competitions. I would love to play with guys, but they're better than I've ever been and I played for 15 years, starting at 12 years old with the best my country has to play with. These guys are that amazing. 2 years with these guys would one hell of an experience.They've truly taken things to the next level.

[@SH1974]

Those guys have such a perfect timing, I bet they eat swiss watches at breakfast!

[@Nizingur]

I come from the Norwegian Royal Guard, and I can honestly say I'm amazed by this. It's a very different style from us, but by God i'm impressed.

[@AngeSydney]

I went to see the Tattoo in Sydney last night. Saw this one performed and it just blew me away. No words can describe the sheer talent of these guys.

[@smondal11]

These Guys are truly amazing. The feeling that that you get when you see them live is fantastic. I was there in the audience.

[@MiramichierA1]

Don't you just love it when people devote so much time and effort to bringing beauty to our world and lives?

[@jedijeffhill]

1:50 - helicopter taking off

[@judithpullman2935]

These guys are still fantastic they make it look great

[@ChalebRussell]

And they did all of this without one noticeable mistake. God, this is exquisite.

[@grailchaser]

These guys just blow my mind! They're fantastic! I did see at least one drum stick rolling around on the ground, so they do make mistakes. I'm still impressed that I couldn't spot who made it and they kept on going on as if nothing had happened. Very professional.

[@MetalizedSoul666]

This is completely amazing, takes years just to practice a single move like the ones they are performing. Myself a member of a Swedish music corp both with drums, fifes and horns, that is just awesomeness!

[@a_lady7745]

woooooow,good job swiss drumer...your really good in everything...what ever they do, is always the best quality...

[@AngeSydney]

just got back from the Aussie show! My jaw was literally on the floor watching this live. Absolutely phenomenal

[@Recoswabay]

I have to say that they are stepping it up every year. This is by far my favorite show they have performed.

[@tedrehn1344]

excellent. really like the flaming drumsticks.

[@iAlec]

Drumming itself, makes me smile. i myself, am a drummer, but these men are outrageous! i love them AMAZING!

[@666HumanHunter666]

There's nothing I love more in life than drums. and these guys are just mesmerizing. Thank you so much fo uploading this video!

[@carlbaham]

Very, very focussed and disciplined. While I understand everyone's amazement, just know that this kind of pride, discipline, and dedication exist within us all. These folks deserve all of the credit in the world for what they've accomplished, and we should all aspire to be even greater. You can do it. One day at a time.....minute by minute......one focussed second after the next. Go For It.

[@AquaticSpirit]

Fantastic! Amazing skill, dexterity, and timing!!! Excellent videography, capturing the clear joy these artists had in their impeccable performance. Very inspiring! THANK YOU!

[@NightLordsEnjoyer]

Flawless, stunning, perfect, and other words that describe just how beautifully executed this was.

[@AlexanderTothGolf]

These guys are the best drum line... I have heard or seen. Wow! Crap.. on fire too!

[@2233golf2]

What a delight for ear and eye......priceless really...

[@Jebbi1956]

Good grief!!!! Is that impressive or what???? Great job, guys! I can't imagine practicing after work for that kind of magic. Thanks for your effort!!!!

[@flamedrag18]

COOL! it's amazing the sync they have, you can not tell it's more then one drum, just louder!

[@mrblondboy123]

Im twelve years old and iv been to see the Edinburgh tattoo 11 times in my life... i would really recommend that you go! they are even better when you see them live!!

[@basspig]

Totally unique and unlike any other drum corps I've seen. The pyrotechnics was unexpected for this kind of performance, too.

[@AryannaMarie]

I'm in pit, and I'm usually not that interested in drumline stuff, but, OH MY GOD that was simply amazing.

[@Bladehunt0]

Schweizer Disziplin und Genauigkeit eben ;-)

[@SirTrews34]

OUTSTANDING!! I cannot get to the end without tears... nothing like it!!!

[@subzerorussian]

[@SirTrews34]

Without doubt the best performance! they have done... simply AMAZING!!!

[@SSgtBigSwole]

1:24-1:53 has to be the cleanest double stroke roll i've ever heard(with more than a single person playing that is). These guys are LEGIT!

[@topolma]

its crazy awesome that 12 snares can be so clean

[@BrandonTownsend]

College drumlines can learn a lot from these guys.

[@dubblebubblequeen1]

Damn, i should really get back to my homework..

[@alessandros00]

They are amazing, the timing is perfect.

[@Thegreenandwhitearmy]

Absolutely incredible, I come from from Northern Ireland, home of many many marching bands but I have never sen anything like this.

[@amitoxos]

This is the best group I have ever been watched!!!!! from spain!!!!!

[@pyrotechnicjoe]

I was there when these guys performed, (because my dad played in the tattoo with the Canberra city pipes and drums) I loved it we saw 4 performances and these guys are great. After the tattoo dad asked if i could have a pair of there sticks and they said yes! I have a pair from the last performance from the in 4:41 when the man gets stabed, I HAVE HIS STICKS IN AUSTRALIA!! They are so cooooool...

[@michael19nov]

[@ndbass09]

1:28 starts a beautiful accelerando. Man, that is clean.

[@Gefilta]

Finally I see who uses all those knives! These guys are sharp.

[@mara235]

[@drumjod]

Awesome job, Top Secret Drum Corps Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2009 ! The commentator took away from the show though. And, since I'm complaining, the explosions / lights took away from it* too... Now that I think about it, there were only 5 or 6 times that you guys did something awesome.,.. I give it* an 11 out of 10. * it means the enjoyment of the show

[@NarcoticRemedy]

[@alphascorpii83]

I soooo dig their hats! But seriously, this is amazing and so inspiring. I have goosebumps.

[@ConradBarbarian]

Our Drums Platoon (1st Battalion The Queens Regiment) did this sort of thing back in the 80's & 90's. They used to do it with florescent sticks etc under black light. They were bloody amazing. These guys are bloody amazing. I wonder who came first. Fantastic.

[@snappy11111]

[@jadonndrumznmuzic]

My drum teacher told me to watch this. and this is utterly amazing

[@mobbsy1115]

I went to the tattoo just to see these, they were brilliant. They were even more military looking that the Swiss army band ! Oh to live in a country with no war, now that would be paradise.
