V State sounds like they are making an intricately coordinated attack while Lane sounds like the Rapture. Both incredible.

[@williamp.2140]

Lane has grooves I guess but wasn't playing any complicated material. Huge gap in the degree of difficulty. Different styles of course considered but VSU took that..

[@olemanspirit955]

BADASS! I DONT EVER JUDGE A BAND OR A DRUM LINE! Being a former band member, drum major in high school it takes a lot to do this. Percussion is the HEART BEAT OF THE BAND. THESE YOUNG ADULTS ARE IN SCHOOL KEEPING UP GRADES, LEARNING SHOW MUSIC/STAND MUSIC/PARADE MUSIC/ AND THEIR CHOREOGRAPHY AND ON TOP OF THAT: DRUMLINE LEARNS AN ADDITIONAL 8 CADENCES FOR DRUMLINE COMPETITION. I LOVE IT. TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS REQUIRED.

And lane solos was just noise

Boy yo ass goofy ash 🤣🤣🤣

[@etgrider77]

Absolutely. VSU cadences were more technical and fluent. I love Lane but they really need to get rid of the sectional solos and work on cadences that have better dynamics and rudimental sequences.

[@Anzomax2]

So you going to act like Lane Z's didnt give VSU the business

[@Itscharley_]

Lanes stuff could definitely be cleaner and honestly, there’s so much with the cymbals that I prefer vstate’s even though lane had more movement

[@sheilaadkins9964]

Virginia has a lot of talent all across our state! Some of the best athletes and music artists of all time came out of VA❤

[@Anzomax2]

Ok folks several things. 1. Lane is in the SIAC not SWAC. I think people get them confused cause the battle a lot of SWAC lines, but they are not in the SWAC. 2. For those who dont understand it's not a SWAC thing. It's more regional. 3. The reason why VSU seem like were running out of material is because they do more drum features than line up and battle while Lane does the opposite. There are other things I can add to it also

This is the kind of battle that you can't judge based on surface appeal because both lines are properly staying in their own lane with their personal style. Aggressive power versus cerebral finesse. You may as well have Jackson State battling Norfolk State and you have just as many people who prefer one over the other. I'm going to watch again and evaluate based on execution, technique, cleanliness and togetherness. This may very well be a draw.

[@MrTurntine1989]

Once again, different styles, but imma give it to NSU vs JSU. you would have to swap lines to make a good battle 🤔. NSU vs VSU & LC VS JSU. I'll wait on your investigation, you sound like you know what you talking about 👍. I'm just a fan of HBCU bands.

[@kayjglasjones2244]

Before I read the comments I said the same exact thing, two totally different lines. Lane for the type of style they are was not bad at all Snares were pretty clean basses were loud af but you could hear what they were play and Lane cymbals killed. Lol VSU in their own right had a clean sound, balanced but for some reason I couldn't hear the basses all that well, also vsu played some crazy DCI material as always. Hard to judge this one.

[@dr.d-i-t9227]

Whenever I see two lines battle it out with different styles I ask myself which line held it down and executed their style more effectively while properly displaying fundamentals. (Stick heights, uniformity, presence, cleanliness, parts locking in, etc.)

[@thefamily2707]

This broad tears of joy to my eyes! Merica! 🇺🇸

[@IceCapNation]

[@etgrider77]

Two totally different styles. VSU is pretty much bongo/corps style and Lane is more of the down south funk style. Both have their positives and negatives.

[@detroit_don5870]

Those basses thumping💪👌👌👌

[@HE360_Games]

I enjoyed both drumlines! Both drumlines did great in their respective styles! But, I still have to say that VSU had the better drumline OVERALL! Split bass drum parts is always better in my opinion! Split bass drum parts are much harder to pull off. VSU's music was harder and they did what they did with movement which is difficult and VSU had a full line with tenor(s) aka quints. I also like how VSU's drums were tuned and they were simply more upbeat and entertaining! Lane on the other hand had better cymbals and had the better SNARE line and their snareline was their GREATEST strength! Their SNARES were cleaner, they played better visually, their technique was together, they were more uniform and their snares had more substance as in more notes to play. But, VSU's snares wasn't too far off and were great. So thus, overall VSU won this.

[@CB-yd7ci]

VSU tighter on the chops.....but good battle.....better than some of the SWACS I've seen this year

[@Askanison29]

IMO, VSU sounds better but it looks like they ran out of material. Lane looks like they could have played all night.

[@g4werkzgenesisparts556]

VSU had full cadences, Lane had short and sweet stuff and a lot of stuff. I prefer a percussion battle, not a sectional battle.

[@vrgoddessisis]

Lane has some of the best cymbals I’ve seen

[@rayraybrin]

Ima give this one to Lane! Virgina had a lot of dancing and gimmicks. Not as choppy as I would like coming from them. I heard slot of Oooo’s and Ahhhs coming from the crowd but not really much coming from Virginia. Their 3 Cymbals and off dancing snare line could of been better 🤦🏾‍♂️. I was thoroughly impressed by the amount of Rudimental finesse from Lane. They had hybrids, speed, power, and a uniformed look. Their basses/single tenors had chops. I could hear, see and feel their power. They represent themselves in their style very well. And as far as Virginia goes that was kinda shitty coming from a Technical Line. Too many loose ends needing to be cleaned up.

[@incredible916]

Lane also had damaged frizzy bass sounds like the equipment was busted. They also weren’t as together on many parts. It was a little lacking

[@rudy8146]

The drumline with the hoodies. Their snares are tuned so "wet" that their sound gets swallowed up when the rest of the drumline is playing. There's minimal sound projection there. Also, imagine how good it would feel on their snare players' wrists if they could play on a tighter snare heads that would help rebound their sticks so they didn't have to work so hard for every single note.....Their bass drums are tuned like trash cans. Hitting both sides of a bass drum at the same time chokes out the resonating sound. Therefore, you may think it's louder, but the sound quality of a deep quality bass drum note is destroyed....The cymbal players had great movements.

[@gerdychevelon8163]

Personally I don’t think there’s a winner or loser because of the diversity in play style between these two sections. It’s all based on someone’s preference and what style they like. With that being this was a great battle, we don’t get to see two high quality drumlines like V-State and Lane go head to head like this very often.

[@anonymousone3998]

I give the W to Lane. I saw some slip ups with VSU's execution. Sometimes stick heights weren't together, attacks were off and there was some dirt. Lane seemed more together and, from my view, had more command over their material.

Lane Dragons has always been the TRUTH!!!! LCP 527 EAST JACCSON TN

[@anonymousone3998]

SN: I'd encourage the snares in VSU to have a few recordings from the side view to check out the stick heights. Inches should be clearly defined for every type of stroke. I'm used to 3" for all taps, 6" for mf dynamics, 9" for accents and 12" for rim shots. 15" for "Monkey Drumming" heights. Whatever the VSU height system is, if It's engrained into everyone's hands then it will help with cleanliness and visual presentation.
