Can I just say - hats off to the US and Netherland's Drum Majors, trying their hardest to go against their own training and perform similar moves to the Royal Marines' DM's. It isn't easy, but they certainly tried, and it went pretty well I'd say. Well done guys! Edit: Especially with the US one exaggerating his arm swing way more than he's trained to, in an attempt to make it look more uniform and disciplined. Hats off to you sir.

@@phoebebrown2883 problem is if the U.S. Marines wore their blue trousers it wouldn’t have looked “uniformed” as a good chunk of them are not Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) and would lack the “blood stripe” that runs down the length of NCO trousers. Rather than have them looking odd with some red stripes and others no red stripes, go with white so that everyone looks the same.

Different style of marching, marching cadence (steps), and different style of music beat if you listen to it and pay attention to it as well. That could account for what people are perceiving as confusion. Regardless, it is truly great to see THREE allies Marines marching together as one mass Unit. KUDOS to them all.

An interesting example of the different marching style shown here from the drum majors. The RM drum majors have a pronounced robust arm swing of almost 90° and straight leg march where as the USMC drum majors have a small 30° arm movement and a march where each leg is brought near the centreline to give a slight small step "shuffle".

Baton far too low down, check out his band behind him. Heads all over the place, bad spacing, carriage and just slovenly marching.

@nathanmiranda8098 6 жыл бұрын

MegaVector2011 yes, he is unaware of RM Staff drill (Royal Marines call it a Staff, US Marines call it a Mace, a baton is different) but that is USMC drill, the way the DM is holding the mace is correct, albeit the hand switches and other movements are not used in the US. Seems like they failed to brief him on what to do in thise situations. I didn't see any time problems other than his arm swing after the arm changes. And there are not US Royal Marines, we don't serve the monarch anymore 😉

I noticed the RM drum majors were pointedly reserved in the carries used, no flourishes or anything that would not be the same as USMC or RNN band mace drill and would single them out as less 'with it'. A subtle touch that sacrificed some good looks for unity.
