University of Michigan Drumline Cadence Series 2002

Follow me on Twitter at @BeeJayEtzel. This is the University of Michigan Drumline Cadence Series from 2002.

[@EldnahEbut]

This intro is used by Destiny's Child on the "Lose My Breath" record.

[@speedywithchicken]

Cymbal #6 in this video. Couple points of clarification: -- Opening cadence series is called "Taps and Rolloff". And yes, DC "kindly borrowed" it from us without mentioning it in the liner notes. :) -- Uni's are the Step Show version -- yellow shields were added for gameday performances. This cadence was marched except for a slight mod at the beginning. -- I think they changed to blue shells (and Zildjan cymbals) in 2005. -- Glad (some of you) enjoyed it. :)

@DBDP3 "Taps and Roll Off" pre dates the Destiny's child tune. This video was recorded in 2002. I was actually in the line in 2004 when Destiny's Child released the song. They sampled us (to this day I don't know if they had the composer's permission or not).

[@CaptainArtsy]

basses are the ones that give dru,line an extra BAM!! Thank you very much coming from a bass player myself♥

[@saildapper2001]

Impressive to this 36-year Masters of Music veteran, especially considering these kids are at a school with serious academic demands. Made my day. Thanks to whoever posted this!

[@cancersgroove]

“hit me!”

[@lildrummerboybeats]

thats the destinys child groove in the beggining

[@sierramist66]

My Band Director put together a Marching Band exhibition this year. And he asked Mr. Scott Boerma (director of Marching Bands at UofM) and the band to come and be a guest at our show. They came, and it was amazing! I was on the front sideline when they performed and they did it all. Then of course I had to scramble as they came off the field. Right at our band. Fun fact: My father was high school buddy's with Scott Boerma. My mother went to a camp where Boerma did his first conducting ever.

[@Gunsandwood967]

that was awesome! i hope we sound that good when i go to college next year

[@TheZooCrew]

Funnily enough, it's the Destiny's Child who took the intro here and put it in their song...not the other way around. That's our "claim to fame" I guess.

[@samma220]

Earning showmanship points for complicated maneuvers.

[@mfuture15]

This cadence was written 10 years ago by a man who is now working with a high school drumline. He was a member of the U of M drumline

[@djdetonator23]

Its something about the drums. Its awesome. Nice job guys!

[@synclavier123]

2:50-2:58 That is corps-level writing and corps-level execution, certainly by the snares. Whoever heads/headed this program when this was filmed is/was worth their check. Nice job...

[@dizzow]

I like the "Loose my breath" from Destiny's Child intro.

[@montrealdrumline]

Great Job,Awesome DrumLine..I Like It arrrr

[@ikarooz]

My formal musical career began in 1969, years before DCI was created and have followed the growth since it's infancy. I play and teach percussion, specifically the trap set,not just the snare. I've seen, judged and spoke with many DCI groups. I have a great "sense" of music AND drumlines. GO BLUE

[@kook1028]

USC and Michigan 2 of the best music programs in the country!

[@EldnahEbut]

Nice pitch snares! Perfect tuning!

[@westxlcr]

This is awesome.

[@TheDragonmaster18]

i only like this school because they started it all. this is the first college marching band the united states has ever seen at a football game. and they gave the greatest marching bands after them. the HBCU marching bands. more specifically they gave us Florida A&M Universty marching 100

[@TheZooCrew]

Yeah, dude...Blue Beats is right after taps and roll off, then it leads into Groove Juice when the snares start the little quiet ostinato, then Flex Permits when the timing gets a little wacky, finishing with Alumni Honor, which has the 'Sailor' part of Electric Wheelchair.

[@Dedeizzthee1]

That's Awesome! I learned something new :)

[@baumusc]

Michigan is my second favorite band next to my USC Trojans! I do like the Michigan fight song and how they high step march.

[@Trashxm0uth]

You have to be ELITE to get into this line.

[@nathanbellott]

loved the tuning of these, yamaha makes thee best marching percussion the last snare on the left looks liks noel alvarez haha

[@TheRIsForRizzo]

BEST DRUMLINE IN THE NATION! And yeah it was totally sampled for Lose My Breath!! Check the Wiki. I would link it, but its not letting me.

[@QuintTheSharker]

one of the best lines in the big ten

[@nsudemon1]

just because you cant play it doesn't mean it's boring

[@planemadmatt]

That is actually quite cool...

[@MauriceCalis]

I always liked the way this solo is written, though it was a different arrangement that I heard. Nice visuals in this one.

[@318lovejones]

That sounded good.

[@74choppzilla]

the first measure was looped and sampled for lose my breathe.

[@FuIlMoon]

the beginning sounds like something played in the movie Drumline at the end where they have the drum off

[@BenjyBraude]

Its not exactly electric wheelchair but it is extremely similar. Id have noticed it immediately but there's some apparent difference.

[@antoniusmax]

I can't come to understand why you guys are talkin smack about this drumline! This is a great sounding line...It's not DCI, it's a university line...i think they put university and DCI together splendedly!

[@cheath432]

yea, ours too!! its a real crowd pleaser!! lol

[@Lbw7778]

i got this on my computer

[@drumsdoc]

Do some research; this cadence was recorded in 2002. Lose My Breath came out long afterwards in 2004.

[@emmanuelt1125]

snares are smokin, man

[@ghyprh]

You guys knark on the line, but fail to realize the center snare (female) was the section leader for the Blue Coats.

[@rhynoseronte]

NICE!!!

[@thesousabone]

The Cadence.

[@cshendude]

Snare/bass duet at 4:20 is BA

[@planemadmatt]

What are you going to do if I don't, I have never been insulted like this in my life.

[@TheZooCrew]

Oh, snap, KZbin has put my comments in the wrong places...it's the third comment I made which replied to you.

[@rikuantu]

is wadsworth ohio, the bass line of the high school drumline is probbaly the most important line of all in our marching band. we get more respect then the snare or tenor line

[@stylst0123]

"Can u keep up Baby boy.Make me lose my Breath........" this is HOT!!!

[@terrell27]

i was looking for this comment 😭

[@hnsnare]

They aren't bad, but this is something my high school drumline could probably do

[@AdamCollinsTroopAud]

I'm pretty sure it's not called lose my breath. That was the song Beyonce stole this cadence for. There was a lawsuit about it a while back. But this was definitely written before that song came out. Unless they've changed it since then, but I highly doubt they have.

[@TheMrsrt8]

basses are the low frquency cymbals and snares high and tenors (the best) have all of them

[@trevlon16]

dude, half those drummers now march LakeShormen in troy, Michigan...maybe that's why LSM's d-line is awsome???

[@kevinp83]

Hail to the victors!!! Awesome!

[@xJeWdAcRiSx]

hahaha this is good, i think i heard electric wheelchair in there? i don't like some of the visuals, but the playing was really clean, good work!

[@Mafiaboy45]

Minnesota's getting up there

[@snareskillz]

agreed 100%

[@howva]

I would love to be a part of this, amazing! I live in Australia so no cool things like band

[@Flu_Tang_Clan]

Well, atleast you have all those deadly sharks, spiders, and jelly fish.

[@st1cksyt]

Where can I find the sheet music to this. And what is the name of the cadence

[@FuIlMoon]

woops not drumline i just read the description its drom destinys child..it wounded familiar just not sure from where my bad

[@ikarooz]

PRECISION, BABY! I marched with the Mighty Meeeechigan Marching Band, back in the '70s. The line wasn't that complex, but just as good. They play those cadences on the street not just while wowing the masses. I'd like to see one of you HS hater's lines come close. Ya'll couldn't because you usually play the same show all year. The Wolverines script a different show, each week. GO BLUE!

[@IQuanaCentersnare]

Actualy its from: Legend Of The One Eyed Sailor

[@aznbum]

@thebestcc12 I agree but I will admit this is pretty intense.

[@ProgressOnly]

the video isn't perfect but the sounds are there.

[@soaper4]

At 2:32 how would the cymbals do that visual while marching?

[@cympimpin20]

@hnsnare Yeah, but can your high drumline do it without sounding like rocks in a dryer?

[@isiah1977]

No she played for Rhythm X and Bluecoats. Anyone know what's she's doing now. Is she teaching?

[@auburntiger8]

@aznboycols I went to an hbcu (Alabama State), you can't compare the two. For U of M, this is good.

[@will3579]

wat type of mallet/stick are the tenors using

[@spikesonthebrain]

@MeTube673 Exactly

[@TheDragonmaster18]

@auburntiger8 dont you know this is where our hbcu bands came from back when they all started over what 50 years ago

[@st1cksyt]

how can i find the sheet music to this ive been looking for it forever...snare

[@alexthelion828]

you mean lose my breath is this. destinys child sampled this

[@stubbyt34]

is that the one of the RCC chicks in the snare line?

[@MIkkizLindseyzVideoz]

I wanna play for UM!!!

[@bumba220]

Did I hear a little Electric Wheelchair in there at the end?

[@KMW52]

@hnsnare sure! you bet! In your dreams maybe.

[@harmonysemoe]

it's alright.

[@TheZooCrew]

Take a look at our sheet music...then say that again.

[@Samwerd2]

Wow. Snares are piss clean.

[@tsadrummer]

@aznboycols not really,jackson state needs to learn to use dynamics and tune there drums

[@Christianf71]

[@QuintTheSharker]

michigan, michigan state, minnesota and ohio state

[@Nick.Knows.Nothing]

@4:30 sounds like Legend of the One Eyed Sailor

[@aristcratunion]

somebody, please tell me the name of the football team Michigan Univ..

[@jopakr]

Yeah, that year the snares were exceptional. I had the pleasure of playing on the snare line in 2004 (my only season), which was also one of the worst drumlines in Michigan history! I like to think it was all because of me.

[@trk327]

@JDX28 i was thinking the same thing. yeah it sounds good but for god sakes dont just stand there.

[@drmattae]

me neither, but yea it was....

[@jey12345]

Isn't it Niner Noise?

[@altolax123]

if you want music to the first one called lose my breath our line plays it il ask the section leader if we cn give it to u

[@Drumlinekevin]

Does anyone have the sheet music?
