That's me ngl

aww im only up at 2:00 AM... but it is about an hour long and just starting it

Me too lol

Thank you! That is why make we these! Great to know this is helping you!

You missed a "make"/"produce" there ;)

Actually made my line watch some of these videos and went over some good quotes and tips last year. It put us into a Drum Corp mentality and we won about 90% of the competitions we competed at.

That is awesome! And great to hear! Thank you for the support and congratulations! :)

That was one of the things we wanted to do this year with them! We felt the front needed some love! Spit is amazing and this shows some of their process. Thanks so much!

Thank you! :) It took a lot more than people think on the back end to make this happen! In fact, our professional audio source files (H4N) were deleted and we almost didn't put this out at all because the audio was not at the quality we are used to producing. But we figured the community would benefit more from the content. Thanks so much for the comment! This was one of the hardest projects we have ever worked on for various reasons unknown to the public.

Always bro!!

Thank you!!! :) And yes, that spit is dope!

You are very welcome!!

Thank you!!

it sounds like one. DB-90s are great if you know how to use them.

The GoPro's are on standard tripods from BestBuy. Not sure of the brand. But we have an adaptor we got from Amazon that connects the GoPro to a standard camera tripod.

This was their rehearsal before the Atlanta regional.

Because they were the best section.

Does Jim Ott ring any bells? Why no love for Brass?

This is a percussion focus video. We are a percussion education brand and all of our "A Day With" series videos focus specifically on percussion.

Fair enough.

Why not?

are you joking? i hope so

Do you have any marching experiance? If so where? I don't know why you would think that way. I think the Blue Devils are much better than the Cadets as of right now. One of the reasons might be because they have 7 snare vets at BD this year, and the other 2 did RCC. And as far as your Cadets argument, I feel like all the Cadets focus on is business, and this video really proves it. By the end of the season I think they actually sound worse than the begining for reasons I can't explain. If I told you to find five pictures of BD members smiling, and Cadets members smiling, you would find it way easier to find the BD members, which I think directly correlates to the Corps success and playing ability. Even if everything I said is totally wrong, talk to the DCI Percussion judges, I think they would know better than either of us.

They are actually really talented people but i'm not saying that anyone that isn't in their drumline isn't talented i'm just saying the blue devils drumline those guys have a lot of chops!

Yeah, just go ahead and dogde my reasoning. and then come back with "the blue devils don't work nearly as hard as other corps." Have some logic and credibility to back up what your saying, because it just sounds like your biased as hell. Read my comment before, you might learn something.

Alison Paige nah bd was crazy good

Alison Paige They won semis. 2015 was so close between Coats, Cadets, SCV and BD in drums. Miss years like that

I think they were just behind tempo. :/

You are not crazy! One of the things that, to me, makes Colin's direction special is that he does not force metronomic playing where it does not feel or sound musically appropriate. After all, the metronome really was developed as a means to establish consistency. If by pulling in and out of the metronome's time you can be equally consistent, but in a way that allows a phrase to breathe more organically why not do that? Why fight our natural musical tendency? There were several moments in this show, as I'm sure there are in others, that we would even pull the met out completely to allow for our natural interpretation of the music to come through. It was actually very effective. Hope that helps!

Thank you for the insight! Even in light of this, I can hardly imagine purposefully disjointing my hands and feet. I suppose this is completely due to my personal interpretation of what excellence in the activity is. I can't find a reason to allow a phrase to be metrically inconsistent when I have the mental fortitude to keep it as such. After looking closer, their feet remain in time while the hands are allowed metric freedom, followed by an out-of-time finishing statement, then back into 100% metric accuracy. Overall it feels awful and sloppy. What advantages does this hold over simply running it at a slower tempo where it's actually able to be played properly?

Austin Lovins I'm sorry to hear you feel it is awful and sloppy. Plenty of people would disagree, but that's the beauty of it!!! Can't please everyone. All we could do was put our best foot forward every day. All the best.

Of course, not discrediting your achievements at all! Nothing but the best!

+Ex Novus LOL DO you know where from?

Ex Novus that would be they are pants. "Their" is actually correct in this situation, as they possess the pants.

We recorded the live event happening at the time. Not sure what you're asking!
