Western Carolina University Drumline - 2012

[@927drummerboy]

You folks need to flaunt your magnificence at PASIC and other prestigous venues. At this time this is one of the best university drumlines around. Congrats on such great playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ZachEverett]

as someone who does not like college marching band...I am impressed...playing some notes out there

[@marquaypropst1]

My drum instructor is Bass 4 (Curtis Huffman) He made our high school drumline a firstplace award winning Drumline

[@CorbinDoughty94]

Ca... Cavies 2008 at the end.... Love it.

[@MUTenors14]

I have no affiliation with WCU, besides we played them in football last year, and I refuse to hear someone say something bad about this band. For college it is fantastic and hopefully the direction of university marching bands. The mixture of musical styles, with the addition of electronics, makes the productions fantastic.

[@MyIdleGhost]

Super clean college line,that plays notes!!!!!

[@megannicholesweeney]

Hell Yeah boys!

[@drewbrackett7171]

woooow that was something that just blew my mind away

[@Joel1141973]

David Starnes is a GENIOUS!!!

[@NateJordan2012]

My high school marching band had lights like those on our uniforms

[@yeetbot3674]

Bro, we're a crowd oriented marching band. We give the audience what they want so that they can enjoy the experience more. And by the way, we enjoy the "gimmicks." We do exactly what we need to do to get our audience going.

[@GEdwards412]

I love this drumline and WCU'S marching band. It's the same vision that my band director and I have been using for 6 years now and through playing popular styles the marching band and drumline has become more popular than our football team! It's not about DCI precision, it's about how many students will stay in the stands during your field show.

[@BlakeCrenshaw]

DIG IT!

[@supermeepmeep69]

FREAKING EPIC

[@tommystevens5491]

For 11 snares, that tap roll at 5:27 was tasty. I dig it.

[@phillipcereceres1910]

I thought the whole thing was amazing and the amount of practice to move in sync and play correctly must have been hell, keep up the good work !

[@marquaypropst1]

First In Drumline,Fred T. Foard HS, Class AAA (3A) and thank you

[@bhamhamham]

YEAH PLATES!

[@KyleTsuchiya]

Is it just me or is the ending the samurai drum break from the 2008 cavaliers?

[@TheChopomatic]

Oh. Used Forsyth Central's lights idea. Cool.

[@joshuaccz]

He was only there for the summer symposium last summer I mean if your band is called "Pride of the mountains." I have pics of him teching there.

[@BradHalls]

Great job, love this drumline!

[@TheGrossFisherman]

Actually, our instructor/director is not really affiliated with WGI or DCI; his name is Matt Henley. Go check out his bio on **WCU's** website!

[@brod_drumz]

Oh lord they play so many beats

[@iiatyy]

It was so cold.

[@OverAllMusicGuy]

First in what? and What high school? You can get first place, but these days there was so many divisions, classes, leagues etc that it only matters if you're in WGI PSW, I have never received first place, but I did compete in WGI PSW and it's so crazy how high schools can get. Congrats to you! Keep it drumming!

[@OverAllMusicGuy]

My expectation was a cheesy "GROOVY" piece. Who ever composes the music is most likely a WGI related figure, I enjoyed this, good job WSU drumline!!

[@PercussionImprovisations]

I saw you guys at BOA Semis in November (2012.) EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE! You guys truly have the "complete package!" Is there a Part 2?

[@cheath432]

OMGGG PRIDE OF THE MOUNTAINSSSS

[@MoL42q]

vic firth actually didn't film this. we filmed this ourselves and submitted per vic firth's request.

[@SorasnobodyXll]

They put lights on the drums

[@HeavyRecordReviews]

Nevermind it was my speakers. But still. Dubstep type stuff in a drum line?

[@jojopuppetstudio]

My drumline is getting lights to

[@PayneKrunk]

the are endorsed by vic firth. Vic Firth only films those who are endorsed by them for promotion for both the artist/school and themselves.

[@Truck_Perry]

5:26 Yeeeeeeaaaaah buddy

[@optsyn]

so f-ing legit.

[@BudrsUnix1]

each drum had a radio receiver with a power supply, a central broadcasting unit was programmed to send the appropriate signals

[@BeatlesGirl421]

How did you guys program the lights to go off and on like that?

[@yeetbot3674]

Summer symposium is what we put on for high school kids. So he's still not involved in teaching us.

[@nesnaj21]

You're right. It does sound like that. Haha.

[@jedvalenciaa]

6:13 ... Cavaliers 2008 Samurai?

[@yeetbot3674]

Dude I don't know where you're getting your info but whoever this Max guy is he has absolutely nothing to do with our program. Matt Henley is our percussion director.

[@oldschooldrumcorps]

Hey - get a horn line and a color guard, go compete in DCI !!! or WGI even!

[@derekusuk1]

6:15 is that the cavies samuri lick?

[@TDrumma3]

How do you get vic firth to film for your college line?

[@TheGrossFisherman]

In any other setting, they would be "gimmicks"; but when we play we have fun. You really need to see the ENTIRE band, then you'll realize that we're not full of "gimmicks". Bear in mind that what we do is technically difficult and entertaining. Now if you want to talk gimmicks, take a look at WGI drumlines the past few years... Remember the lines in 2012, eeesh...

[@HaremCastingGamer]

Gangnam style

[@zjicmn]

howd did light the the drum up?

[@marquaypropst1]

[@geraldA1sauce]

[@joshuaccz]

[@iiatyy]

[@DDRsensation]

[@marcosantoniobarrenorosale4260]

[@cheath432]

*carolina

[@buncha1499]

The dubstep drops made me cringe but the playing was damn crisp!

[@mrtmoney233]

*WCU

[@robluvsdrums]

That's not a drumline, that's a DUB LINE!!!

[@WCUmetalhead]

hey now, no need for the hostile caps lock lol welcome to college marching band, where you have to please your crowd by giving them what they want. what to college crowds like? "gimmicks". Sure we could play more traditionally, but we'd also be playing to empty stands. im sorry our lack of timpani hurt your feelings :)

[@EffectiveButSimple]

Nope, it totally is, hah.

[@joshuaccz]

What? No one ever said he was you creeper. And I gotcha man I wed just saying "my bad" I didn't know go figure for some KZbin loser bacon whatever to think I though he was being aggressive . If I thought he was I would have said so.

[@HeavyRecordReviews]

Can't even hear the drums over the dubstep garbage...their form and all looks great, and I'm sure it sounds great...but cmon..

[@Digtal101]

Ugh Skrillex....

[@kingjokerful]

chop but boring
