people, before you say mean things or overly critical things, i hope you can at least appreciate the fact that they are playing together and producing something really awesome together..music! + the uniforms are pretty sweet..
Yep it's me...the line is nice. I can't rag on your boys, what they are playing is played clean. No need trying to get crazy and risk sounding like crap, not to mention they look like they have some class as well.
famu wudda murked em man. just cause someone go to a band camp dnt mean nothin be there whn they be practicing to play at big shows like superbowl half times them boys at famu put in work i kno i was a music major at famu.
I'm a African-American guy and i go to a school corps style band. And i try SO hard to like the HBCU/Show style drumming I even went to FAMU"s band camp this year. But that crap was so EASY(music wise)! The only intresting thing about the show style playing is those little stick flips they like to do and the hip hop songs the bands play and dance too. And they funny part is that a DCI or corps style college drumline and play all that stuff too. But i'd like to see a HBCU band play at 210 bpm.
@bigpimpin2736 dude of course the cadences are easy. they are easy because they have been handed down to them since the schools first got them back when the school first had a band and this was back when there was only 26 drum rudiments so they didnt have much to work with back in those days. and since HBCU's are all about tradition they kept those cadence and each generation of people that join these different lines play whatever cadences they have. and playing fast doesnt mean a thing.
@TheDragonmaster18 . You must not know how many years ago rudiments were created, like back in colonial times. Not having much to work with isin't an excuse. And for the most part HBCUs play grooves 24/7
@bigpimpin2736 i know its not an excuse. all im saying is that not every drumline has to play hybrids and what not. just because it isnt hard doesnt mean its not good. i dont know if you noticed but HBCU bands play what the audience wants to hear and do what the audience wants to see. its been that way since HBCU's had their band programs. and you have to admit that this druline is actually good. they are actually good. and the reason why they play grooves is so the audience can get involved.
@TheDragonmaster18 I feel you on the wanting to get the crowd involved. But there is also the musical aspect of drumming. If you're going to have 15 snares (FAMU) then all of them SHOULD be clean. But that is not the case with the majority of HBCU drumlines. If the beats they play are easy then there is no reason for it not to be clean.
@bigpimpin2736 well you have to admit that albany state's drumline is pretty clean especially for a HBCU line. and FAMU is actually for the type of technique they use. their snares use the mollar technique also known as monkey sticking and it is very hard to have a snareline to play perfect using that technique. and besides its not like they're trying to impress judges. remember they're playing for a crowd that knows nothing about band. but i feel on being clean to.
@bigpimpin2736 yes clean is best but remember these guys didnt go to school for drums. band is leisure time for them. so if its a little dirty who cares. also not everyone on their drumline is a music major so therefore its ok if they mess up just a little bit at least its not to the point their fans cant enjoy it. actuslly the drumline im on would get torn up by these guys and we would still have our fans cause we're enetertaining which is the HBCU's only goaland thats it.
@bigpimpin2736 dude they are very clean. sure not dci perfection but it is still clean. see but unlike you guys in the corps style bands these types of drumlines have a lot more music to learn so they just happy to make it sound decent. and besides they dont compete so who cares. they are performing for a crowd at a football game not in front of dci judges. also in HBCU schools education comes first band second. also remember that football crowds know nothing about band.
@bigpimpin2736 this drumline has pride in what they do in fact all hbcu drumlines have pride in what they do. even the dirtiest of drumlines have pride. and the drumline in this video is one of the cleanest hbcu drumlines there is. sure its not dci perfection but it is still clean. and im sure these guys would love to have everything perfect but remember that these guys also have tons of other music to learn and memorize. so therefore they dont have the time to perfect every little thing.
Israelwillwin: I'm loving your screen name because I'm right there with. you and the kingdom of God. Buuuuuuut....gotta disagree with you on this one, man. Sounds pretty darn clean to me. lol
XcodywilltriumphX: "....just cuz they know rudiments doesnt mean anyhting."
You've got to be kidding me. And since you're wondering, a so-called "white drumline" is a corps style drumline. And the so-called "black drumlines" are show style drumlines. For example, the video above is a show style line. Go up to the top and search "DCI Cadets Drumline 2006 White Rabbit". They know their rudiments, and it shows.
@jsudrumline09 dude hes right just because you know your rudiments doesnt mean you're a good drummer. i know alot of good drummers who dont even know rudiments and can still play better than most. my high drumline knhew they rudiments and they are a corps style band and they have no talent. and saying that if a drummer doesnt no rudiments cant play is just like saying if a guy cant read a sign that says toilet doesnt mean he cant use it.
oh well my drumline doesnt do cool stuff like this we only hav 3 snares 1 quad 1 quint well our quints r broken so 2quints and 4 basses =/ we need new cadances i think im going to try to make some cool ones xD
this past marching season, 4 basses, 3 snares, 2 quads, 0 cymbals
this year we are gona have at least 5 basses mabye 6, 4 or 5 snares, 3 quads and 5 cymbal players that cna do 16th note splits and 15 in ta pit for winter drumline, go HILGEY WINTER DRUMLINE
this is one of the best southern drumlines ive ever seen in my life i usually dont like that kinda stuff but this is pretty bad assed much props!! im an xtreme drum corps fan and i loved this shit lol..
I have to agree with 2244242 and classgirl2012. Although they play very well. I believe what the other two posters are trying to say is that ASU does not sound their traditional way and the change is obiviously to much for them to accept. I personally don't like the way they sound because they remind me of my old high school. They have mad skills, but I prefer that old-school black percussion sound. Does anyone have any footage from the 80's or 90's of ASU percussion - where can i find it?
This is from the 2005 season. This line was not as good as the lines Platinum Forte had from 2000-2004. WEAK LEADERSHIP coming from the section leader and other oldheads in the section caused the line to suffer. The line hasn't been the same since. It's better now but not what is was during the first 4 years of PF. This was the year that the section leader and his click decided to past down false history to the freshmen in the line. You can't have a fire section if people don't know the concepts
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
HORRIBLE....JUST HORRIBLE....Why do you guys sound like a white high school drumline....dudes, I saw a video from 1989 against Fort Valley and ASU sounded so much better back then. I won't be going to any of their games with them sounding like that
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What the heck is that.....Albany State? OMG! They sound like a white drumline now....I remember back in the 90's they sounded tough....now they are "drum-line" want-a-bees. They sound ridiculous. Please get rid of those quads and the different variations of the bass drums.... you need only snares, single tenors, and 4 or 5 big bass drums...get that old-school sound back....otherwise, yall TOTALLY SUCK!!!!!!!
no. thats the way we (hbcu drumlines) tune our quints typically. we dont really like our quint heads all super tight so they ring, we'd rather get get a lower, nice thick sound out of them. just a matter of taste i guess.
i never heard of ya..but yall clean as shit and it was funky..i like yall line hbcu drumlines are showing class,fun and rudimental skillz at da sametime..keep up da good work
this line should come to Norfolk State, and go up against MD (Million Dollar Funk Squad) im on the line there, and i would love a chance to battle you guys
What? You've never heard of them? The "Most Dangerous Drumline on the Planet"-New York Times 1996. The Tony Award-winning drumline show "Blast!" DCI's Blue Devils, Cavaliers, and Cadets? Are you living in a cave or under a rock? Check them out on Youtube! You guys don't stand a chance! Plus, they won PASIC (world championships, which you guys OBVIOUSLY don't have the gall to compete in) for the 21st time this year! You really think you can get with that?
You said "THEY" which says to me that YOU aren't and never have been a member. So once again where is the video of the line that YOU perform with? Put up or shut up.
Actually, University of North Texas band will put these guys in the dirt, ESPECIALLY the drum line. They've won PASIC over 20 times. That's where the REAL big boys compete. However, this is one of the cleaner black drum lines I've seen!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
is that a new instrument? i have never ever heard of the quds, but i play the quads, if youve ever heard of those. Best quad player in the state of utah, Ross Fowler
Wow. This is one of the few college style drumlines that I actually enjoyed watching. The snares were a lot cleaner than I expected, the tenors had some pretty sick runs, and the basses weren't playing quarter-dotted quarter rhythms the entire time. Good job.
I played with NSU, and probably will for the upcoming year. This is the only the line I honestly gice any props to. They can actually play. I would love to see these guys.
Visiting DCI guy here ... enjoying the show bands!
Kind of surprised that the snare lines (most of them?) seem to still be using straps. Is it usually a matter of choice, or budget? Maybe the show bands prefer the drum movement visually?
There are a few lines (vast majority) that march carriers. The ones that still march straps more than likely do so out of tradition and the fact that most lines that do come from bands that march with a high knee lift. Therefore that right leg is still free to pop up at 90 degrees.
Thanks! Had a feeling that the leg lift had something to do with it. For my first years in high school (1978-79), our band was still doing Big-10 style marching and we used straps. When the band went corps-style, the bobbing of the drums became a real distraction (as well as the bruises on our legs!), and they finally splurged on carriers.
OK, this is great....a fantastic example of a show style drum corps actually playing notes in a controlled fashion while keeping the visuals in...fun, disciplined, technically fabulous.

Plus, they won PASIC (world championships, which you guys OBVIOUSLY don't have the gall to compete in) for the 21st time this year! You really think you can get with that?

You said "THEY" which says to me that YOU aren't and never have been a member. So once again where is the video of the line that YOU perform with? Put up or shut up.

I meant to reply to your last comment and not remove. You SURE what you previously posted is true? Absolutely, positively no fabrication? Hmmmm?
RedClayDSGB 3 years ago
Actually, University of North Texas band will put these guys in the dirt, ESPECIALLY the drum line. They've won PASIC over 20 times. That's where the REAL big boys compete. However, this is one of the cleaner black drum lines I've seen!

Wow. This is one of the few college style drumlines that I actually enjoyed watching. The snares were a lot cleaner than I expected, the tenors had some pretty sick runs, and the basses weren't playing quarter-dotted quarter rhythms the entire time. Good job.

Visiting DCI guy here ... enjoying the show bands!
Kind of surprised that the snare lines (most of them?) seem to still be using straps. Is it usually a matter of choice, or budget? Maybe the show bands prefer the drum movement visually?
Somebody fill me in.
ikshields 3 years ago
There are a few lines (vast majority) that march carriers. The ones that still march straps more than likely do so out of tradition and the fact that most lines that do come from bands that march with a high knee lift. Therefore that right leg is still free to pop up at 90 degrees.
RedClayDSGB 3 years ago
Thanks! Had a feeling that the leg lift had something to do with it. For my first years in high school (1978-79), our band was still doing Big-10 style marching and we used straps. When the band went corps-style, the bobbing of the drums became a real distraction (as well as the bruises on our legs!), and they finally splurged on carriers.
My back was so happy.
Cheers!

OK, this is great....a fantastic example of a show style drum corps actually playing notes in a controlled fashion while keeping the visuals in...fun, disciplined, technically fabulous.
