Rain does amazing things to drums.

[virtuosity7]

[salarmander]

@virtuosity7 i assume its dci championships?

[secondhandsamson124]

The drumbreak sounds so much cooler here without the brass.... but I love this show. And what does that guy yell at 1:02? don't what?

[fhssnare]

theyre dutting. dut dut dut dut dutdutdutdut

[secondhandsamson124]

no the yelling in the back I mean. sorry. and call me unobservant but every time I see this video I always forget the horns in the back at 1:20 lol

[TWHSglock1]

i was told that finals night during the drum break the pulled out cocaine from their hats and snorted it from their stick for some visual

[Chiefontheditty]

It was a Visual made to look like that. The line didn't actually do that. Come on

[Bah3932]

hahahaha, that's a great rumor, but there's no way that's true.  maybe back in the early 80s BD would've done that.

[BAGGEDBIRDS]

Eric Melson @ 0:58 ????  Looks like an old CSUF drumline shirt

[leemcd56]

I swear their tenors sound so weird on Yamahas.

[mdrummershea]

i bet it was the rain making them sound kinda wierd

[leemcd56]

It sounds better than those tin cans they used to play haha now they're switching to Pearl so we'll just have to see how their sound changes

[cmqguy]

Nice shot of my former Drum Major (James Gluke) from my days in high school. That is some great drumming I must say by the snare line. The whole drum line in general is awesome.

[TKGFILMS]

Scott Johnson seems to always look the same, no matter what year. I think he doesn't age.

[Keevawn]

@TKGFILMS Ofcourse not SoJo doesn't age, he just constantly improves.

[Rogers1977]

LOL 0:55

"Water break!!!: LOLZ

[Rogers1977]

Damn, pretty consistent with the excerpt from Ditty.

Did the bass drummer hit the camera guy at the end?

[drmmrboy88]

man i feel bad for those drums. =(

[revresbo101]

"God is telling us to water these parts" HAHAHA

epic.

[BurntToast355]

how come nobody writes books like that anymore....i mean, it sounds like a damn drumset half the time! bad ass

[rhssnare]

I agree, that was one of my favorite years for their drumline

[Rogers1977]

That year is my first ever drum corps show that I ever watched.

[doublebassheeltoe]

The snare player at :42 ticks.

[whatnow4]

love the water coming off the drums

[RiffraffMcgruff]

lmao Chris Burrows! My old drum instructor, nice!

[sooldanbar]

Water break!

[zericardotp]

5° Snare, my teacher

[Mikelikes2rock]

I'm friends with the 96' center snare's little sister =]

[Mikelikes2rock]

'96 *

[stubbyt34]

LOL!!! 1:07. this has to be the sound byte that FINALE uses to create the quad sound! does anyone else notice that?

[videossmellbad]

haha ye

[CFsnare07]

did they win that year?

[doublebassheeltoe]

Yes.

[BOOMHEADSH0T]

[rayl9]

at 0:24, if you pause it, the tenor player looks like Tom Cruise.

[rudlka89]

lmfao...that's so true.

[calypsogroove2004]

i guess the rookies where the white tees?

[Jerahmeel]

Ditty slowed down, but still awesome. Hahahah
