From a former drummer and writer; This is some very sophisticated coordination of rhythm and movement. Very Impressive Norfolk State Drumline!

Even knowing how much rehearsal goes into a routine like this, it still feels like a jam session. Keeping that flow and spontaneity while playing a piece rehearsed to this level is remarkable.

I would so much rather watch this at the halftime of the Super Bowl than some million dollar pop music production

It is disturbing how on point these guys are, incredible!

They are all good, especially the guy in the green track-suit wearing a baseball cap.

I like how there's the contrast of loose and flowing with the tightly organized and precise machine, and somehow being able to do both at the same time.

Whoever came up with bass splits needs to win a Grammy.

Anybody who could thumbs down this kind of talent has no talent. Great job guys.

If I was the other school I would have just got back on the bus smh.

That dude in the green is rocking that drums

One of the better "show" style drum lines I've seen on my KZfaq rabbit hole. Nothing cheesy, pretty clean, and entertaining.

the 272 dislikes must have been the other teams on the benches. This was stunning. Mouth wide open the whole way through !

silence is the applause at these things. the audience is made up of their competition! it means everything.

Omg...they are Awesome....Great n More....Loved this clip....the beat made my heart happy...I so much needed to hear them...today my hubby 10 month promoted to heaven....he knew now much drums meant to me. And Ironically i ran into this clip...RIP My US Army Sgt. Daniel Silva Jr. Luv u n miss ya..... Thanks guys for my smile!

These guys seem to be more relaxed then in the past. Magnificent execution and such a great talent to mix show style with DCI... Proud of NSU

Talk about precision and timing,WOW!! I’ve been playing drums for 40 years and this is impressive.

started watching boat restorations and ended up on here,JUST BRILLIANT thanks from the UK

More than just drums. This is music! Choreography! What an audio-video show. A true showcase for drummers, congueros, timbaleros, cymbalists of any stripe. Standing O.

Every time I hear this band I am in awe of the precision cascades of rolls they get with the different pitched drums. Truly brilliant drumming.

Question: What's that dance move starting at 7:35 called? Dancer: "Funk It Up!" Drummer: Wrong answer, mate. It's called the Paradiddle.

every few months i go down a drum line rabbit hole.. glad i could start here this time.. GG peeps

If someone else won this comp, I GOTTA SEE THAT VIDEO !!!! Holy Shit this was amazing. One of the few times I thank the algorithm .

If I was in the other bands or school I would have changed my uniform and put on a green and gold shirt lol

Wow, incredible. Your stick control was so good, I could hardly tell singe from double strokes. And those single stroke runs down the line were with so much precision Great stuff.

I'm a huge BCU fan but man this squad something serious

Incredible, amazing, awesome, WOW. That was something else. Well done.

Straight FUNKY! Like between Ole School Hip Hop and P-Funk...when they made Real music. Thank You!

So glad I can say I played for this section. 13 years earlier lol.

Thats skill and showmanship. A lot of time put in for this perfection. Best of the best !

This gave me goosebumps... Unbelievable. Very tight. Wow!!

That is the dopest drumline performance i ever seen in my life. The bass drum split was godly and supernatural!! Unbelievable!!

I could watch that all day.

Makes me proud to be a drummer. The drummer brotherhood!!!

I don't want it to stop!!!!! Just literally made me feel 30 years younger! Man... Ima be sore tomorrow!

Fuckin' bass drums are killin' it. Rippin' riffs and 6's and rolls and banging a deep pocket at the same time!!!!!

Sweet Jesus,thank you for the gift of hearing !!!! !

THOSE QUAD DRUM SYNCHROS....my god. My high school band would have an aneurysm watching those three play.....I geeked out so much watching them

This was great! These kids should feel proud !

Should have millions of views. Absolutely Outstanding

Good lord that Tenor solo

Oh my goodness. This music and showmanship is incredible!!! Wow you all do a great job. A treat to watch and hear.

They’re so good the crowd is stunned silent. 🤪

Dam that was perfect whoever came up with this choreography was dam on point.... never seen swac on point like this that hold thing was great

I love em all especially those Cymbals 😍😍😍

This is by far my favorite drumline their bass splits be unbelievable. And the snares and quads are as clean as any drum line i have ever seen seriously.

These bass drums splits. Damn

I don’t know how clean this is relative to their own expectations, but as a long retired brass player this is friggin ridiculous.

The first instrument is the voice. The second is the drum! And once the drums start dancing is mandatory.

As a Bronco and Wolverine alumnus who played in marching bands I love listening to these guys. In the beginning the field drums are warming up but then WOW , they kick into full cadence mode - crisp and percussion at its finest!

Totally sick... killin it. You guys are the bomb!!! Luv the QUADS every time.

this is my favorite, i love all your drum rolls and fills , the way you work together to get that nice big sound. i play drums in bands all my life , not playing now , my ludwigs are in a friends crawl space.

super tight, those guys are a REALLY talented drum line. Outstanding work guys.

this is how to wake up in the morning - with rythm, funk, and thunder - an amazing drum roll!.. ( and i play african drums but this got me moving!!! much gratitude!

THE BEST I’ve EVER seen!!!

Still one of the best percussion sections I've seen...nice work!!! Marching "100"

So clean you can hear and see how passionate they really are

Might be the best I have seen or heard in a long time. Tight!

I've always LOVED Norfolk State's drum section

Amazing wish I was there enjoying it live

Everyone did amazing 🔥💜

God DAMN these kids are drumming geniuses

Amazing blend of show style and corps style. Love it!

So GOOOOOD. Makes me wanna watch that movie Drumline for the umpteenth time. lol. Really love the drums and the control.

not a hater, but I wish the women would sit to attention as their fellow students perform. These students are giving their all!!!

it dosent make any since how nice MD is

Seriously talented. Loved it.

bass splits are always amazing no matter how simple they may seem haha

Damn these guys would give TOP SECRET a war.

If only wars could be won by this, pure bliss.

Wow, fantastic, brilliant coordination, I can only imagine how much training went into that, absolutely brilliant!

DAM!!! That end cadence was AWESOME!!!!!

Bravo! Pure excellence from very classy drummers! Nice job

That was GREAT! I couldn't sit still listening to it! What a great job!

Just the right amount of swagger; it matches the ability.

Great balance volume, stick heights, execution is spot on.....give a hand to the choreographer

Well done Cameraman please pan the whole band when an event of this nature comes back around, front, back, side to side. Showcase these youth doing it big. They all killed it!!!.

I went into this with low expectations just because it was a university and high standards on my part but dang this was very unique in its own way and just amazing! Crazy rudiments and choreography in general

Absolutely amazing!

coming from a corps style dude, this is the perfect balance of technicality and showmanship. very impressive and musical, my favorite drumline that is kind of hbcu style

Man, alive, they all have talent and perseverance. It takes lots and lots of hours to get that good. Wow!

Now I'm thinking, turn off the lights glowing drumsticks!!

For 8 minutes I was mesmerised!

This is hard to..... Beat

Oh my!,! So tough! The conductor is doing a fine job with all this talent!,!

Every video I've seen NSU always clean 😥

They are like robots to me playing drums together. I love this! Chubby little drummer here doing drumpad covers

There's definitely power and purpose in these sessions. Gotta imagine it motivates their team and fans.

GOTTDAIMN, THIS IS THE SHITZ, Y'ALL. Should be everyone's soundtrack to their lives.

Hurts me to say this, but MDFS may be the best of all HBCU Drumlines. 1. MDFS2. Bongo Brothers3. Sudden Impact4. Cold SteelThis order can change at any moment, but I believe these 4 to be the absolute best.....MDFS is just on another level though. Just my opinion.

The girl playing the cymbals was the highlight of this event

How in the world do you remember all these beats???? I could be an astronaut before I could do this!! Crazy impressive! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Simply astounding! I wish you'd had more cameras, though. So much going on!

this is the most awesome thing i've seen today !

I bet to hear that live would just be a Bucket List experience. Wow...!

2019 and I'm rejoicing to the NSU Drummer's Beat!!!

One of the most extraordinary tatoos! Very nice moves. Unusual cymbal ostinati. Raucous crowd. You brothers are an inspiration!

Them tunnels are just nasty they killed this good work guys

Wow.... A lot of AMAZING talent in that room.

These dude are wicked clean.....

incredible rythm. soooo goood. Thanks. C'est pas croyable un rythme aussi puissant. Mes voisines me détestent maintenant :-) !!
