The more I watch this the more I realize Langston held they own in this

One of those snares is not like the other...>:D All kidding aside both were solid and fun to watch. :)

I like how Langston held their own in this.

Proud of any of them it's a lot of hard work to be in the band let alone the drumline......AGGIE PRIDE!!!!!

I attended the A&T vs. Howard game today!! Cold Steel was once again outstanding!!! Flew in from KC, MO to see this great drum line that I was a part of back in 1977. Great Job Guys!! Aggie Pride!!!

i hear you man.. i love drumcorps but i know that its completly different with these types of drumlines. i think its super entertaining to watch guys like this. like that first visual with the boxes was awesome. good video though

Langston is so cool, i like them

even if I am so far away from the US (Germany) - I love this

White boy was feelin it

In my head I was thinking, it’s okay to play one cadence and walk away. You don’t have to get done that dirty

Am I the only person who saw the white dude and automatically said "white dude a dog" I mean Ncat is a hbcu so to be accepted to the school and the dl can't be easy. props

my son wants to go to North Carolina a&t when he finish the national guard

When those drummers yelled "bitch" i lost it!! 🖑😂

lmao I was thinking the same thing. Langston did pretty well but the energy, intensity, cleanliness, and entertainment factor is why NCAT takes this one.

The mugs that Langston's drumline has is hilarious!! Langson was good; although I have never seen a tonal player with their drum right on their face. A&T was cleaner and I would give them the win

Looking at this again years later, I have to give the win to Langston considering they were smaller but had a much cleaner sound. A&T had nice choreography and visuals but too many drums can be a fault to the section as well, moreover it's just a more intimidating look. Langston cymbals took the who show, they snapped. It didn't help hearing those other drums in the background. That first cadence Langston played was hard-core.

If Langston is the smaller group, they got that shit tight and the metals rocked it. Good moves on NC A&T, but they need to tighten it up.

I have been spoiled by the top DCI drum lines.

alright we all get it okay hahaha theres one white guy on snare...SO WHAT???... ik he's better than most people....he's talented and he can keep up...he already proved that since he made the drumline

i like the second group better. They had less people but there beats were cool

What was the second cadence cold steel played

It was about a tie.Both did good.Cold Steel supposed to be the better,but I like Langston tenor drummers;them cats throwin down...

Sound like military drumline that i like the way they march in on that nice candance

Stick visuals was amazing

i agree with you whole heartly deangelo. the 5 man snare line was just as good as the bigger one an really to be honest was just as loud an known as the bigger one. in my observation the smaller group won in my opinion.

Yea, I agree. And A&T didn't issue the challenge...they were just finishing up the parade & Langston was waiting on them sooooo....lol!

theyy going hamm..i need a drumline for my dancelinee

So... many... basses. I LOVE IT

I like the smaller bands work better on this one. Looked like they were outmatched at first but they surprised me

the DEN held it down.. good job.

i think both groups would 1. laugh at each other 2. look at each other like WTF was THAT?! or 3. just play some eights lmao

cold steel gon always do they thing but Langston sounds nice

I thought i was tripping when i seen the drum on his face wow 😂

love the groove :)

What was the name of the second cadence a&t played with the dance?

One of da best NC A&T

that first cadence A&T played been funky !! lol

That white guy was my LB!! He crossed in 2009!!! Best white boy to ever do it!! His name Will by the way!!!

5:26-5:38 YES!!!! Love it!

whats the first cadence cs played with all the tutting

that first bass sure loves his drum

I am pretty sure each one of the people in this video have seen the movie Drumline more than once, and loved it!

Their expresions so funny 😁.. small basses 🤣🤣..

is this like a different kind of technique (overall) of band, than dci?

Fucking natural rhythm, man! The only funny thing is the blue uniforms of the first drum corps made 'em look like a prison band. And that WAS priceless!

This is like watching the Marching 100s vs Boss Drummers in 03-04

are those system blue head on the quads????

i love it!!!

i dont graduate high school until 2016 but hopefully i could play snare for NC A&T ot FAMU!

Awesome A&T !!! Cold Steel!

A&T had that all the way , I can't wait to go there!

That was a thorough ass kickin

All jokes aside, I'd really like to see A&T's snares take the cleanliness up a few notches. Not as a put down....but because I REALLY like them and want them to be undeniably one of the biggest heavy hitters out there in HBCU lines....SWAC included. That being said, if there are any A&T percussionist reading, I REALLY encourage you to keep up the great work and just be super picky with your ears on the snare line. I'd really like to see you all just crush in the next few years.

i love the stick tricks!!!!

concordo amigo !!

smaller band had cleaner sound and they were about the music not the clownin around.

How the hell does the first snare on Langston drum with his hand so far up his right stick

I'd give it to Langston just on cleanliness alone (though both lines could stand to tighten up a bit)

Just feel I was right there with them, we have lola university ASU. North western. Clerk Alamta. The University of Chicago. And more.

Can anyone tell me why would A&T need so many percussion for a medium/small band?

I still never really understood why black/southern drumlines have like 8- to 12 basses sometimes. Its AWESOME!

OH SHIT TUTTING THOSE DRUM STICK THAT'S FUCKING DOPE!

quints got swag when they was marchin up and they came in lol i like that

You're right. Cold Steel was definitely more confident, which contributed to their victory. But they've found a way to balance entertainment and skill. This balance is why they're so popular and it's why I believe Cold Steel is the best drumline..... But that's just my personal opinion.

our percussion instructor had us play the same cadence at the begining but he just changed it a little nc A&T

I Like the wait for it part

dey killed it

Yea Langston Zs was on point all I hots day is this video showed that quality can shut down quantity any day

Stick tutting... innovative!!!

I call it a draw! both knocked it out!

that poor guy, his tenor is right in his face

Da second A&T snare player (from the right) made dat cadence funny.

7:40 omg that shit its so fucking dope!

I think I heard the Langston drumline play a cadence from Texas Southern

The middle snare for Langston looks like Danny brown

My thoughts exactly...

Clean, tight playing trumps fancy visuals anyday.

Lol my mans Quincy got all in the dude's face. LMAO too funny

Right!

To each his own like. That drum corp drumline you're speaking of is a whole new different style/world. They are very tight, but aint no funk in it! I likes stank on mine.

Got u!

That intro was BEEFY! nice job guys.

Quad section too smooth bruh

Who's in the back trying to get in the battle?

we can talk about a and t technique all day....but u got to admit.....they have strong confidence in their style....and u cant talk em out of it. they could be alot cleaner but they are enjoying themselves. but the langston people just look like a high school...snares tuning bothered me but if they were bigger it wouldnt change much....they have a few decents things going but overall they can step it up a notch....but love the fact a lady is on snare....that is awesome in my book

Star wars1!!!!!!! love that cadence mhs mactowne best band in da land

bom seria se no brasil tive se isso aqui

Wow, they EVEN have a "token white guy".....just like in the movie, Drumline! Too funny!!

muito bom

I can dig it bruh...u already know I know!

I love A&T more!

Much love to NCAT, but more love to West Va!

yeah pretty much

the tallest snare plays the smoother of the bunch lets just he gotta lil swag BBI

Straight battle.. NCAT t-drums would benefit from a board under the drum to prop it up tho

2nd band showed out

Holy fuck a white guy! And I'm surprised to say both lines were actually good!

Haha! I agree!

infelizmente grande parte do povo do Brasil não da muito valor a esse tipo de coisa !

is dat da saits i da background? if it is get up der
