I like the book a lot. Very challenging. I still need to see it in context of the whole show to see how well it integrates. -Evan

Beat them in drums by 6 tenths in Utah... not exactly a small spread...👀

Yea .6 is a statement. On this night, you weren’t close.

@@agedoutpodcast I just don't see what the judges see. But what else is new.. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Yea, they definitely have already gotten cleaner since this but this still highlights the whole package really well and allowed us to talk about arrangement and variety. Still too early for us to want to talk too much about clarity anyway at this point in the season.

Yes we enjoy the bourbons and the ryes.

@@agedoutpodcast You guys should hook up with @DrumsandDrams for a drumline/bourbon livestream. Cam marched BD and I believe Bluecoats.

Yea, Cam marched with us at Rhythm X in 2012 also. I enjoy his channel.

They're (BD) definitely in the conversation for drums. SCV's book is a lot easier than usual and is pretty much at its peak already. Great line, but just not as much demand. Phantom sounds great this year, and Penland is doing a great job with the book, but definitely not as much experienced membership. Boston is absolutely in the running though; they might have finally hit the sweet spot of difficulty/clarity. BD has the most technical book by far though, and if it continues to clean up then they are absolutely in the convo for drums. Would be cool to see them win the Sanford again! Would be dope for Boston too.

Pulse invented fivelets, I guess

Ahhh the one were they were on 1 knee with the platforms moving??

@@DeeboComing yeah bro

I _did_ get it. 🤣

For the "for the algorithm" guy ✊

@@zoomlensshow 😎✊

@@mcgrudyou got any videos of the pad yet? Lol

@@FOSSIL13drums Not yet! I ordered the Alpha with custom graphics. So, it will probably take a couple weeks to get. But, I'll def post something when it arrives. 😉🤙

I've never been able to put into words why I'm not a fan of BD drumlines but I think this is the best way to put it, chops for the sake of chops. Well said!

Agreed the writing does not make sense the tuning is no great in my opinion and they are always so loud I don’t ever hear any dynamic contrast

I think Evan said it best at 9:08 He said “This book has a lot of licks”, but what he didn’t say is “This book has a lot of groove”. That’s not to say the book has no groove at all, but to point out there are licks all over is indicative of what you were saying. Everything feels like a feature of sorts, but no “supporting” beats that may sit under hornline or pit moments. Of course, this video doesn’t give us the context of the hornline or pit, so it’s hard to listen to only the battery and say “something is missing”. Without context, it sounds like a bunch of features and licks.

Facts. No musical at all, it just sounds and looks beats to appease scores

Hadn't really noticed this myself, but now that someone points it out, hard to un-see it. Good comment.

Also do you have a discord? It would be cool to have like a community reaction. Like at the beginning of a season we all hold off on watching lot vids to join in the discord and react together even if only you two talk while screen sharing and we all type in chat as it’s happening.

We have a little bit of a schedule, but it changes week to week depending on when we’re able to link up.

@@gavin_bigredI like this idea!

Wait, what?!

@@ryancox5097 I’ve heard about it from a few different sources now. Seems legit
