still one of the very best drum shows I've seen till this day

that quint solo gave me a heart attack lol

if anyone from scsu is reading this. i am writing a movie script and you guys are going to be front and center. drumline was good, and this movie will be just as awesome. when i'm done i'll contact someone from your school. thnx 4 finally mixing corps and traditional, i tried this back in the 80's and got laughed at. help me get the last laugh. don't worry about the neg. comments, u guys rocked that place!!!!

Hands down. Best black college drumline that exhibits great technical skills. And man... Those quint players are definately core-style material. They played some awesome licks. Great job SCSU

NO negative comments please....idc who u r...music is important to me and don't like haters...cadets,cav.,DCI....very awesome and well practiced bands NC and SC have an awesome music program and hope they flourish!!!

I'll tell you a story for kicks. I learned part of UAPB's sequence and some DCI friends I made where impressed on how clean I was playing it. They knew it was basic, but pieced the right way, it was impressive. Plus the argument over tempo is funny. Some colleges don't stand around all day counting "duts" and using metronomes. They groove and have fun. It's like this to me. Some DCI drummers are like higher class Americans looking down on the average people. Infer.

But that heat tho starting at 4:50 🔥🔥🔥🔥

That bass line though.

Very nice!

Cant wait till 2017 Marching 101 here i Come #futurebongobro #snare

That was a sweet set

that was like really clean thou and it looks good

Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated..sans animositos!!

Bruh this was two years ago they hella clean now

Adrian, u r right, all talent will be included. I will check out norfolk and everybody else.

the 2 dislikes are most likely haters...keep hating your a great inspiration for my school

@JeanLondonDia I DO play drums. im in the kennesaw mountain high school band, we've been best in the nation plenty of times. and i am planning on joining a drum corps.

@freshkicksnewdrums the person who wrote that snare insert attends South Carolina State University. He's the one with the dreads. It's a whole cadence but idk if they will play the whole thing next year

where is NCAT vid from this?

Ole lord... We have this argument all the time with NSU. They play some awesome beats on the field and off. Unfortunately, our style on the field from our old Band Directors does not allow us to play to our full potential. It's the old school feel that we can not change even if we wanted to. We can chop it up on the field any day... Don't get it twisted. Students from HBCU showstyle marching band have made it on the BD line snare and sextuplets. If we all played the same we wouldn't be unique

Old Burke High School Band Sprit Still Lives In This Band. Gheechie Boy Just Saying , 1993 Burke Band real band members Just saying. Chuck Town stand up!!!

Can somebody tell me where i can find the music (if there is any) for the snare break at 4:49?? it is very dope.

Looking at the comment and playing skills nothing has yet been said about their playing capabilities. Waiting on a valid point on our playing skills

Yo am I the only person who heres this ass chutting that South Carolina State put on A&T Drumline... LOL Age of experience no more words. Thats a band! Gheechie Boy 101 , ChuckTown SC

Great Performance.... Most Of The MEAC Drumlines are really doing well these days

nice... love that Madison Scouts ending

TIM GREENE IS THE MAN!! IM SO MAD I'LL NEVER GET TO PLAY FOR HIM.

@JeanLondonDia ohhh.. ijust need that one part so i can learn it. i was gon challenge a couple schools with it. lol

holy crap, 12 bass drums!

4:50 - 5:00 I love that lick !! SCSU !!!!

my sis went to A&T i love that drumline... they just got owned. SCSU's quadline alone trumps A&T's i hope the aggies step their game up.

When is the next one

@Djroshi01 I know and love both... It's amazing when you know people who have done both. I mean marched for Hampton or NSU and then end up marching for the Blue Devils...

What up Burke Bulldogs!!! 93

Awesome Halo theme from 3:07-4:26!!!! I can't believe I'm the first to mention it on here

in a couple years, i will be a BBI snare

So, they have two sets of toned basses, or do they have set of toner basses with one set of drop basses? Im confused right now lol

Nice video east coast drummers...as far as SCSU goes they aint bad and they got some choppin ass parts.....never really seem them perform so i guess its just new to me....good shit tho...i need to watch COLD STEEL to see what the response was for these bois....

Also: WOW

@hondurasdaddyyankee two completely different genres of bands here, in the end it's all about entertaining the crowd not sacraficing entertainment for complacent, biased, and ignorant people who only live in their own worlds and everyone else is secondary because they choose to be different

We just like having a good time and bringing a smile to people's faces. More or less, ANYBODY is going to rave over drummers. So as bad as nick cannon is, he achieved the common goal for all music; Bring satisfaction to those who can appreciate it. After that he called me and you nobodies and continued living his life rich. It's ok, that was a joke, laugh.

i like this...go ncat

@JeanLondonDia Again, I'm DCI/WGI 100%. I know that difference.

@JeanLondonDia I've actually been to Indy Finals the past two years and Dayton in 09. That's when I learned that Drumline was the biggest lie told to man. lol

you on dat good good son

ive never seen any corps style out of nsu now vsu meshes corps style and show style well

Not a big NC A&T fan, but ain't nobody touching Cold Steel right now!!! I'm FAMU all the way but Cold steel on another level that many other bands will start copying..

I think you should get inside the HBCU lifestyle. The mastery of Show bands in general are on the insides. To the public world, more people rather than musicians see the show. They're there for football games, battle of the bands etc. I see DCI as a display of guys who work all day and night to show they can do more rudiments than the average drummer. Unbelievably clean yes? Alright to a musician that's outstanding. To the average person, show bands are better. Your argument, unimpressive.

@Djroshi01 o.0 Drumline isn't a lie because that's what went on in the HBCU light of drumming. Ever college had a rivalary but I will say this they don't have competitions based on points and professional. Judging has been based the crowds response. I will say Warren County's Competition is one of the only competition that I respect for the drumlines. They actually have real judges which judge down to the Tee. Check it out and see...

@hondurasdaddyyankee DCI's choose from every where even HBCU's example, Our instructor two students who recently made it on the BD line these past 3 years. Ralph Nader(snare line) and Alex Blake(tenor line). DON'T BE SO QUICK TO JUDGE

@JeanLondonDia naw man... it's definitely Scouts '95. watch?v=vmOuuxjOvBk Start around the 2:00 mark and you'll see what i mean. SCSU played the crap outta that gimmick though. They did alot more with it and made it their own... cool stuff

@hondurasdaddyyankee I have had the pleasure of marching with Ralph Nader in Hampton University's Drumline aka STICKY Situation. Even he admits that doing 5 or more shows a year and coming up with different routines takes more time than DCI..but either way u wanna try marching Traditional/Showstyle? Do u think its easy trying to march 90 degree angles ALL THE TIME?? Dont slander a great drumline just because u have a biased opinion. Gain some experience and march both styles like me and Nader

*Insert is that Nick Cannon?!" Joke.

hmmmm you might have to shoot me a clip in my inbox so I could see it. Thanks though

@hondurasdaddyyankee Jean Paul is correct.

@hondurasdaddyyankee Actually There Percussion Instructor March Cadets and Was Section Leader n 2000 i think????So watch ya mouth son.....

to be fair for high school, its just one high school, because i know my drumline doesn't do that. we may not learn as many songs as college lines, but they're still the same in skill. so please, just say something about that person's drumline.

Southern groups: Groove and other elements that DCI groups have. DCI: Groove, Precision, intense Shows that college bands never touch. It's isn't about what style you play, it's understanding the demand of both styles. In the south, they focus of groove and HUGE visual elemental. Because of Drumine the Movie I've always hated the dirt from Southern groups but I understand why they play the way they do.

they need to tune there quads up

@itzbeats BD ending lol

@KC816KC The bass drum it self sucks I wish it was Pearls or Dynasty... It is hard to tune those things. SMH Check out SCSU Vic Firth Snippet

@JeanLondonDia True alot of those elements are true in tons of college bands in to the south or with Show bands. However being a person who been to DCI competitions and WGI competitions and know the key differences between the two, Drumline made me hate the show band. To me, if a group is allowed to play with visuals at the sacrifice of unity and cleanliness then I just dont want to listen. And in general I wish many southern drummers focused on sound quality not just who has the best groove.

your book missing some pages then lmao

Damn SCSU drumline doing a field show but chopping Nc State up on the low

well don't really like corp but they did it well BBI'96 snare just don't forget what we do like routine that what makes u a bongo your routines what u played was sheet music that belongs to everyone but our routines belong to us so learn them and keep passing them down just like they have done for the pass 60 year ever bongo know their routine even if they are sixty. They don't change its a institution. Please don't forget what set us apart. I wouldn't change my blackness 4 all money n da world

@Djroshi01 Not another one... man dirt is dirt. No matter what line you play point blank period. DCI lines have more time for their performance to practice and drill, fundamentals and style. DCI groups have over who wants to play and willing to stick out through the season. College drumlines don't. College drumlines have touched the same intensity and precision. It's the exposure of the Drumlines that have not been shown. I wish Vic-Firth would do a page for all HBCU and college d-lines

those "corps style schools" play harder rudiments, more notes, actually have a sense of tempo, and play clean together. If your all about playing a show and dancing then stick wit what ya got.

Soo many basses tho

Sorry I disagree. I put my money on Bongo Bros any day.

@hondurasdaddyyankee probably some freshmen kid...

*by

@xViZiioNzx you must be deaf and in high school with that response. Through videos don't lie nether does the audio

You did a political move, ignored hard facts and ventured off into an area you could control. I noticed the only thing you commented on were the friends. I absolutely have no idea what they do. They just said "We like the DCI stuff." I assumed they did it. But after that, we talked music. Complex? Yes, I love it. Matter of fact if you asked me, it takes a good amount of skill to be on a DCI line, more than the amount of skill for a college student. But why down us because we're different?

@hondurasdaddyyankee my point exactly high school... stay in your place. When you learn 5 different shows and move from one show to next hit me up. I'm tired of these corps style schools playing the same beats with extra inserts for the whole season

@hondurasdaddyyankee ? What are you talking about. We clearly have technique. It may not be similar to the Cav's or BD but It is close enough to the Cadets.... I dislike when people who barely play drums talk ish on here claiming everyone sucks but I bet you can't last a whole season in this band... smh

so your saying Traditional style bands dont have a sense of tempo? are you kidding right now?

1.....0..........

first, im not "buying" anything, but BY the comments i made, its pretty obvious that drum corps have a classification all to their own. You said that this group isnt a corp, or a show band, or anything else....and if you think drum corps look like the movie "drumline" man you should just shut up....

so, they arent a drum corp, or a WGI line, not a show band, not a high school band drumline...as far as i know ive never heard the term "traditional style band" be used to describe a band and or drumline that is part of a "show band" so i guess these guys are pioneers and have invented a new type of drumming?? But they DO dance, they DO play easy beats, they DO have cymbal players that do lame visuals...hmmm...looks like a show band drumline to me. I think YOU dont know what your talking about

you really are spitting pure ignorance now . I simply said that this wasnt classified as a show band. if you could read which im starting to question . And im in a HBCU (NC A&T ) marching band, and Drumline the movie was just a pumped up version of HBCU marching lifestyle.

@hondurasdaddyyankee Watch ur mouth man, they are actually one of the cleanest drumlines in the US, and their instructor, Tim Greene, not only marched for the Cadets but was there section leader in 2000, learn your facts before you open ur beak

so y not choose Norfolk States MDFS, they've been corp/show style since the beginning, just saying, not trying to b a dick or anything

SCSU is better than A&T in my book......

first off, this is a "show band" not a "traditional style band". And i think their sense of tempo fluctuates waaaaay more than a corps band. So no, i dont think they have a very good sense of tempo.

this isnt a show band, you dont know what your talking about.

cold steel, dont do nothin but dance, if they didnt have to dance every five seconds then ppl wouldnt even look at them

1:00 any white people in their drumline?

Cold steel kills every time hands down

@hondurasdaddyyankee Kennesaw Mountain High school has not been one of the best in nation more than once.You guys play an easy ass battery book over there.Quit trolling.You're giving your school and band a bad name.Yous should respect this style of playing

@PVMacFunkBox Cold Steel is a big ass circus for a drumline, they not fuking scsu on the tecnical tip

..... Not at all.

12 bass drums is WAY too much lol

a political move? wow....um no. not really. and the reason why i started "downing" you is for a simple fact: drummers from show bands always seem to have the "we're better that any other type of drummer because we got soul" attitude. matter of fact, thats why i started getting upset on here. but its cool, go learn your DCI drum breaks then you can go play easy beats on the field. best of luck to ya.

So buy this definition a Corp band is a show band. you dont know what you are talking about.

your really crazy they are not cold steel chops are way better scsu
