FACTS

For reals! So gooodddd

Yea we’ve heard there are some younger members in the group as well. Should be a cool couple of seasons coming up for them.

Went to a camp for BK, Mike Jacksons view on drumming is pretty nuts, his book writing is great.

Was Mike writing their book in 2017? That show was my favorite for unique tempo changes / combo. It was just so so smooth on the end / ritard of their first number that year!

@@funkywhite nah, he was still at BK at that point but I did enjoy Crown’s book that year too

Broken City won in ‘19 if I’m not mistaken

They did indeed!

Mission Viejo won scholastic World championships in 2001 and 2007 .. both Mike Jackson battery books I also completely understand what you are saying when you say that though .. his writing deserved gold a few more times in my opinion 💯

I don’t know. From a judging perspective there wouldn’t be as much content in his books to judge and praise compared to other groups in the first place. Love it nevertheless!

@@tim.noonan sheeeesh how did I forget that?! 😭 Everything pre COVID seems like forever ago man.

Yea, it would be the edge at the like 2 o’clock position of a clock. Overtop of the guts on the bottom head.

We each have our own Blue Yeti mics plugged in. We link up in a discord server and Mike will share his screen over to me for the video we’re reacting to. Then he records or screen captures his computer screen using Streamlabs. Hope that helps.

@@agedoutpodcast very helpful, thank you!

I love coffee! Lol -Evan

this thing we call a microphone doesn't do justice to the true sound

I dont think we were hearing the same drumlines then lol I was there too and have the exact opposite opinion

VFSMJ'S, that is where the balance point lies.

@@BagChatters10I’m not sure I understand this explanation. I’ve played with those sticks plenty and there’s no difference in terms of fulcrum position. Physics alone would dictate that the most optimal position is a third up the stick, no matter how long or short the stick is. Holding it higher legitimately just reduces range of motion and makes it harder to control heights. Given all that, I would understand it if all of them were holding it “on the flag,” but a few of them are holding it further back, about where you’d expect it. Either way it’s not a big deal, but I don’t understand people running defense for it either. 🤷🏼‍♂️ A more sensible response to me would be, “That’s how the staff defined it” or “It works better for our style”

@@ARZiehmDifferent taper = different weight distribution. You play play just fine at exactly 1/3, but you have to ask yourself if you are getting the most optimal rebound out of that compared to slightly higher. Each stick is different!

@@ayytism8857 I get that there is a different taper on it, but my point is that I don’t think the difference is pronounced enough that it would warrant a different technical approach. Different strokes for different folks I guess

Their fulcrum is super far back in the hands. The fulcrum is in the same spot on the stick but the hand isn’t

What is?

Different approach to the role of the line - Crown isn’t going to let the line overpower/outshine the brass. But they’re holding their own and frankly, are sorely underrated purely because of the exposure they’re not getting, and the difficulty of it in areas where they’re not being featured, in my view at least

i don't know what you're hearing but this book is far from simple genuinely one of the hardest books this year to clean imo

@@haxorus4927 Compared to BD and Boston, this book seems very simple. JMO

@@Brockstaryea it’s not ramming notes, it’s not demanding on a pure notes standpoint but stuff like the space and demanding with body and drill make it very mentally difficult
