[@maryfehrenbach9893]

Holy Jesu! Is this just not beautiful? I love these twirling drummers in pipe group but hate that they aren't shown front and center! Am so happy to come across this video!

[@dinardsi9006]

I'm a Scot from Montrose; Sara is the best tenor drummer I've seen. Great flair, well done lass!

[@Quiet_Lantern]

I was a rhythm tenor when I first started in my grade 5 7 years ago. Love seeing individual tenor solo's... I am a snare now! Hopefully will be able to do a live solo here soon!

[@CrystalCountess]

From Montrose??? Clan Graham?

[@maryfehrenbach9893]

At first I loved this but after viewing in it's entirety it seemed extreemed!

[@thoumaster]

Just wondered if she won?! Looks great! Very smooth yet controlled as others noted.

[@lindathrall483]

VERY NEATLY DONE

[@tenormadness60]

Well done. Very relaxed and not jerky or mechanical at all. Good use of flourishes and nice speed to.

[@pbrobotspbrobots1710]

tenor drumming has become supper cool and this is why.

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Beautiful!

[@gracemadame3059]

Phenomenal technique I love your flow and flourishing, good job! 👏

[@jwyche]

Your drumsticks are like butterflies flittin’, frollickin’, and lightly kissing the drumhead. Beautiful!

[@LewisGLem]

Wow, very well done young lady!

[@rozbucholtz810]

I want to be like you when I grow up, and I’m 64. I started learning tenor drum 4 weeks ago.

[@JayDoubleYou]

[@kristinabrown7335]

Symmetry in motion

[@unknownknown244]

nice flourishing

[@GDDubya]

Not what many people in the drumline community think of when they hear "tenor drum". My high school drumline uses pipe band tenor drums.

[@unnamedindividual8783]

That’s pretty sweet 🔥

[@TrevorTrottier]

I want to see this in the dark with glow sticks.

[@lindathrall5133]

THE FLOURISHING TAKES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF STRENGTH TO DO THE SHOULDERS HAVE TO BE VERY TONED UP

[@watches6340]

What make are the pipes nice tone

[@johnminer8672]

I know this comment was 4 years ago, but he was playing Kron "Heritage" drones made by Dave Atherton and a poly McCallum chanter. He actually started making pipes a few years back. His company is "Morrill Bagpipes".

[@jcgabrielramiroangeles4510]

what are the tunes?

[@oberdanelias]

What is the tune?

[@LINDATHRALL-pb8zu]

I WOULD HAVE VERY SORE SHOULDERS FROM HANDLING THE FLOURISH MALLETS I SAY MUST HAVE STRONG SHOULDERS AND FEXIBLE THÀTS KEPT UP BY EXERCISES

[@jacobhenderson7157]

What’s the name of the first tune?

[@douglindsey9341]

Our Scottish Ancestors would laugh at todays snares. The lads here are no doubt talented but why are snares so tight, hollow and dry now? Respectfully, it sounds like a woodblock with a single nylon string on the bottom. The Pipes are suppose to be the Grace and the drums the battery of Scottish Heritage. Tenor solo is Impeccable. Pipe Full and Robust. Snare well played but distracting.

[@ironmatic1]

Technical competition, not musicality. However, I do think pipe bands make the high tension snares sound pretty good. The snare on the top head restores the “snary” sound that is completely lost in regular modern marching bands.

[@jeff61177]

I'll never understand a musical instrument that makes no audible sounds.........

[@ladyleisel]

We'll admit the video capture device we used that season was not very good at getting any sound from the tenor and bass drums, but we're still pretty impressed with Sara's performance!
