Troopers - DCI Finals 2016 - Battery Warmup

2016 Troopers Drum and Bugle Corps Drumline warming up in the lot at the DCI World Championships in Indianapolis, IN.

[@TroopersDrumCorps]

VERY memorable year for us, thanks for always being there @innovativepercussion!

[@ShufflingAlpacas]

This drum line was scary to compete against

[@Greatfulx]

Nick Lazo what did the academy get in percussion?

[@ShufflingAlpacas]

Jordan Droomer 10th

[@Greatfulx]

Nick Lazo damn nice man

[@danielevanhunt]

This is my favorite line of 2016. I have no affiliation with Troopers or any of their staff, and I marched snare for a competing corps in '03 and '06, so I have absolutely no bias. This is just genuinely good drumming. Top 5. A couple of grey spots in there, but more clarity and content than probably 9 or 10 lines that outscored them. Good front ensemble as well. Great work (members and staff).

[@JamminWithJake]

I appreciate that.

[@neilyvanneily]

The tuning on these snares is just sweet!

[@zechariah2010]

This is a world class line, awesome tenors, snare awesome, bassline incredible, great writers and directors. Hot.

[@larenzstewart6378]

zechariah2010 umm this line is world class

[@greenwood7006]

Damn wasn't expecting them to be this good

[@AznAfroMan513]

they are more vanguard than vanguard cadets are lmao

[@PayneKrunk]

yeah i think that's because casey brohard(bd vet) is there caption head/arranger. Doesn't seem like rennick is super hands on when it comes to scvc

[@CameronDurham]

Troopers is a Rennick line. Book by Rennick, staff from Vanguard/UNT.

[@AznAfroMan513]

I just think it's funny how they'd rather have a whole other organization from a different state etc. serve as a feeder rather than their very own "B corps" within their own organization.

[@CameronDurham]

AznAfroMan513 As far as I know, it is only considered to feed the percussion section.

[@soupienips6338]

AznAfroMan513 that would make much more sense, lol Santa Clara vanguard b. Would kill to be a part of that if that was a thing.

[@skaterguy128]

Probably the most underrated line in dci that year

[@johndeer4789]

This is not a 14th place drumline. Get your shit together DCI.

[@nickfenech1386]

They probably had a shit run

[@johndeer4789]

+Nick Fenech Right; or DCI is just fucking ruined.

[@calebfankhauser6719]

+Nick Fenech We did not. Pretty much sounded just like this.

[@mariolucero7193]

I know. This is total bullshit. Paul Rennick I'm sure wrote this book along with SCV's.

[@jamescarlisle7781]

+Nick Fenech you don't just have a "shit run" that can drop you all the way down to 14th, especially that far into the season

[@PostLagone]

Jesus christ these guys put many world class corps drumlines to shame this is badass

[@DrummerJay322]

Troopers battery a.k.a. SCV's AAA team.

[@colersen]

Bro the snare player on the far right is our drum tech😂😂. Mr balls

[@Will-sk1ki]

4 of these drummers are going on to march SCV in 2017, just thought y'all should know

[@Greatfulx]

Will Hoffman damn really. Which ones

[@cameroncavender]

1 bass drum; 3 snares. Dude left of center and left of him. Also 2 right of center.

[@CyberShwartz]

Will Hoffman Yeah, they had quite a few last year who went to SCV

[@cameroncavender]

Correction. 1 bass drum. 4 snares.

[@uncenteredsnare1005]

Cameron Cavender Also the tenor player all the way on the right. His name is jabil. He cane to my school for rehearsal he now teaches at lambert high school

[@bmillz5.054]

Without watching the picture, it just sounds like scv. How is this 14th?

[@johngalt2715]

Because timeslotting

[@themuffinman751]

That's a really good point.

[@imjaylon8375]

Came back and now I truly feel 2019 SCV in this

[@backbeatben]

this is the best I’ve ever heard Troop. solid

[@HE360]

It seems like a lot of drumlines are adopting the Rennick style. Well, that's great!! And by the way, I agree with what others said. This aint no damn 14th place. This is like watching Vanguard with a blue uniforms on!

[@WalkerMagician45]

Actually this is basically a Rennick line between Vanguard Cadets and Vanguard. I'm pretty sure it's run by UNT grads/ Vanguard Vets and written by Rennick. So that explains their likeness. Excellent line though.

[@somericanguy]

alright Troopers! I see you there!

[@pianoman598]

Reminds me of SCV. Sounding good!

[@uncenteredsnare1005]

pianoman598 that’s bc scv and the troopers are very closely tied. Paul Rennick is the director of percussion at scv and work with the troopers as well

[@left_rios]

YEA BASSS!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ChristopherT1]

None of those guys are going to be Troopers in 2017. They'll all be top 5.

[@dawsonleffingwell]

tmyer2 as a guy auditioning for Troopers 2017, I'm not sure how I feel about this comment...

[@ChristopherT1]

***** best of luck to you Dawson. Give it hell. Hopefully they have the same staff as 2016. Trust me that comment was a complement. Those guys shred.

[@CyberShwartz]

tmyer2 Idk, Troopers are one of those corps that wants people to stay there. They focus a whole lot on the family aspect of corps

[@OreoCinima]

14th place my ass

[@SnareMax90]

The Real SCVC lmao 🔥🔥🔥

[@davidblevins1122]

Im sorry...14th place my ass..

[@JamminWithJake]

Well said.

[@tylera86]

That snare tuning is dynamite 👌

[@alexneagu8212]

Anyone have the sheet music for the snare break? Or maybe the page on snarescience if it's been transcribed

[@CyberShwartz]

Holy fucking shit these guys have beats better than top corps.

[@Queeze101]

*When Rennick writes for a line, he's doesn't hold back. Or so it seems. It's up to the performers and staff to nail the content they were given. And boy did these guys pull it off*

[@josephsidwa2044]

1:25

[@gabrielpearson]

Fuck yes, troopers.

[@BuMdEbUm290]

My Drumline Tech marched with troopers - he's on the snareline's far right)

[@rudyswindle9008]

yeaaaaa jason🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@drumcorpscollection3081]

Matthew West... Damn

[@Greatfulx]

what sticks do the snares use?

[@innovativepercussion]

The snares used the FS-PR2 model - www.innovativepercussion.com/products/fs_pr2.

[@Greatfulx]

Thanks! Just got a pair and they feel amazing.

[@heathercarlisle6756]

If this is the 14th place, then who is 13 through 1 better than this? So clean!

[@calebyurasek8871]

The quad writing at 1:15 is sickening

[@josephmccutcheon9037]

My buddy is the second tenor from the left and it’s ridiculous how dope the book is. One of my fave tenor licks ever lmao

[@Wantonlon]

What tenor sticks?

[@auslander2]

lonnie register they’re the innovative percussion Paul Rennick signature sticks. TS-PR

[@everlong_gong5025]

Sounds like scv book

[@bonkersmcgee4356]

middle right quad player has a stroke at 0:56

[@ethanpierce324]

1:15 THAT WAS WET

[@josephmccutcheon9037]

Ethan Pierce that’s my boi on center tenor. This is one of my favorite lines ever. So orgasmic
