Time for another episode of “its 2:30 in the morning and I remembered something cool we watched in highschool”

This and Officer Krupke were the only reason I bought the Blast VHS tape way back in the 90's. and still, man, no regrets...

To the question of "How?" Practice. Insane, ridiculous, unbelievable amounts of practice. The opening snare soloist's name is Nick and I marched with him in 1991 and if you ever marched Drum Corps you know that drummers, especially snare drummers NEVER STOP. They drum everywhere, on everything, ALL THE TIME. After shows we would be waiting to load trucks and the snares would still be dueling in the lot. Freakish, Non-stop OCD practice. That is HOW"

the whole show is utterly amazing and it's been several years that it took place and I saw the integral over the TV channel Paris Première.

I remember going to a performance ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ so amazing!!!! Loved it and still do! So many great sounds and memories

Having played on the low brass line (aka the percussion's sound break) I know most of what he's doing, and it's amazing!

Never understood why they didn’t include this sequence on the official CD album!!

Nick Angeles and Jeff Queen... The GOATS.

コンサート見に行った時はマジでトリハダ立ちまくりだった

Do not accidentally put the volume at 100% while wearing earbuds 0_o

It's like Top Secret but clean.

There is a radio station sending around a video of the korean Drumcats. I've been posting Blast! To counteract them.

This is the most AMAZING performance of ANYTHING I've ever witnessed!

We had a Drum Instructor when I was in Marching Band in High School Join the Show & we got to see him Live & It was Freakin’ PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!

un spectacle de folie que j'ai pu voir en intégralité il y a quelques années sur la chaine de Tv Paris Premiere.... MAGNIFIQUE !! EPOUSTOUFLANT !!!!

Excelente!! llevo años siguiendoos... y no me canso de ver el video!

EXCELLENT stick work.. FAST and crisp!

Nick DeAngelis looks like Bill Ponderosa now, and Jeff Queen always reminded me of Cyclops lol Can probably still shred, though.

YIKES! my heartrate has just increased 25%! !!! This was awesome!

Been watching this since my middle school years back in like 05

I realize that this is "just" a broadway show, but to not be standing on your feet and cheering your ass off after this is simply disgraceful.

Seen them live! Love it!

2nd soloist is Jeff queen playing his i and e solo from idk the year but he had two drums

The first video I ever saw on KZfaq.

I saw this entire show in '04 at Palace Theater in Cleveland. Looking back it was raw as fuck.

I wonder how many cymbals they inverted during a show.

i agree with you :D i used to play in a marching band, i miss to much my snare drum, and i love this kind of music :D

Future orchestra concerts be like...

Soooooooooooo awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome!!! :D

This is really good ☺️👌🏻

They are in sync

I just watched this in class today lol

@MelecityJones Well, people say if I were to play an instrument, it would be the drums. I appreciate this. I guess it makes sense. But I just love the whole show. I love brass instruments almost as much as my brother.

I saw this at Indiana University. There music department started this program.

the drum must have been like HOLY BOB DOLE I JUST GOT PLAYYED

Hoy craap awesomnesss!!!

bro this SLAPPIN

Super cool we should do this!

Were they rushing or were they dragging?

I always wondered how drummer boys fought during those wars...

this guy has mad skills

i saw them like 2 days ago and it was great!

Is this WGI on Broadway? This is genius.

PARABÉNS...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Now THAT'S what I call Assault and Battery!

素晴らしい。又日本に来て下さいね。 ARIGATO

crazy chopsss

Even if you have no musical talent at all, you can tell he's amazing.

This guy is good

6:54 on scared me so much, it sounded like a horror movie score...

4:20 I’m just gonna put a flashing light warning here for everyone. …Good lord, that literally looked even flashier than I remembered! 😵

purdy dam good

PERCUSION FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mind....blown :O

Those flams!!

even better if the quint players could do something like the snare. I played quints in band and those were fun to play with.

Would love to hear this till I couldn't breathe :D

Good god.... HOW?!

I always think the guy playing quints at 7:20 looks like a young Drew Carey.

Very "Bridgemen-esque"

@MelecityJones No I disagree with every instrument there has to be a groove. I play percussion and trumpet and there has to be a groove even a rhythm. Without the two you cant really have music. You dance when you play right, well thats the groove from playing. So yes groove is in every instrument especially in snare and drums themselves. They are the most important for the responsible groove.

omg... 3:33 is.... ... WOW! :D

Dang, almost makes be with I were a drummer instead of a trumpet player …almost ;-)

This is what goes on my ADHD brain 24/7

do they put this out there so they can say "hey look im better than you" but i have a buddy who can do this

mega vet

@trevorninja100 yeah that's what i meant... i didn't say you said they were 'horrable' i hust said that it is a show and that's what the show is about; being showoffs. otherwise they would just be a bunch of percussionists playing relatively simple rhythms on a stage.

4:31 I cried

2:00 *sits in dismay* Well shit.

my question is how do they not get carpel tunnel?

Ah, 240p. We meet again.

4:00 The third guy on the left drops his stick.

@trevorninja100 yes they're show offs... but that's why it's called a show...

If you found this video through the DeLay Harvester Band's Percussion playlist, vote this up and check out my channel!!

6:37 NOW KISSSSS!!!

notice all instruments are and will always be YAMAHA (SPONSOR)

0.0 enough said

1 person claims he/she is not impressed

What do you mean by that?

Why will a player of BLAST be so good?

Yamaha. Ha.

hahahaha

音の粒そろいすぎじゃない？www

because if you can read music u r a percussionist

jeff queen and nicks markais

@francobini I'm not saying they are horrable I saying that they are a bt showoff ish like the guy playing on his nose, I wouldn't change it or take it out of the show but I just naturely get the feeling that they are show offs like the blind folds

This is NOT Blast!

He just tries to impress the crowd with simple stick tricks and gimics. Don't get me wrong there is some complicated flam stuff in the beginning but I can do a Juggle Roll too. Most this stuff isn't that impressive it just looks cool which is why the crowd likes it. Its not clean.

I dont understand this

I am not worthy to watch this.

No offence to anyone but it seems that most people who call themselves drummers can't even read music

@edaerer16 you obviously have no taste for percussion in any form or fashion.

when ever I watch this only one thing comes to my mind..........yea it's cool and all but they are a bunch of show offs

Oh my god that quad solo at 7 minutes sucked

annoying!!!! total waste total headache!
