Don't know about anyone else.. but I've never heard 12 snares sound that clean before.

[turk4lyphe]

6 people didnt get into the drum corps

[DaDa2Phlux]

Excellent.Minor point but they ought to try a heavier stick to time the toss better ..those look like.7a's ?

[planetrockford]

Best Swiss since Chapuisat.

[strathpipe]

These guys are good but not as good as The Scottish Silent Drum Core never been known to make a mistake!

[TheAAABATERY]

Didn't thought anyone would ask about THAT O_o

[Jordy10121994]

AWESOME...but booring, 2003 performance is very similar to 2006 and 2009 performances

[Watterpolo]

@Jordy10121994 is the first time at the edinburgh tato it was in 2003

[jsydney61]

the camera work is maddening! diminishes the impact of group! Frustrating! Just let us watch the group as though we were in the audience.

[renoracerHugo71]

Einfach grossartig!!

[queenjoann1]

wahnsinn das muss man live gesehen haben!!!! einfach fantastisch

[Cowboycurtis888]

all of theeir buzzes are in perfect unison...its insane.

[Entaary]

How many of them do you hear ? ha ? when they are in perfect unision you hear ONE . So , they are close is more accurate thing to say

[Cowboycurtis888]

exactly...it sounds like one guy on those snares.

[TheKasterborus]

Pure epic win

[WPUpioneer]

Does anyone have the english narrated version of this video?

[strikeme5]

he just welcoming and announcing the corp

[bigjimvolvo]

best thing i ever seen.. just back tonight from edinburgh tonight.. they done a bit with the drum sticks on fire ! have to see them again..

[Knobiwurscht]

Super!

[misslittleblackdress]

amazing im play snare drum on a marching band

[Spyd3rs]

We can tell.

[suraxis]

Military precision and discipline in a civilian drum corps. Absolutely bloody outstanding.

[evil13rt]

Bravo!

[Telamnar]

Love how french-speakers always see the word 'corps' in english and pronounce it 'corpse' - ca se prononce de la meme facon!

;)

[ace76543]

how the hell do you pronounce it?

[Telamnar]

English: corps=core

French: corps (eng: Body)=core (with a French roll on the r).

It's a french, latin-derived word that came to english, but French speakers pronounce it as though it were germanic - like 'corpse' (It's a swiss corpse on the drums!)

I always find it funny :D

[bozowild]

i have seen these guys live and let me say they put the hurt on a lot of american drum corps

[NSSdt]

jj dini mama het en schnauz. ihr amis trömmelet sit 100 johr chli ume.

[ludger06]

wer hats erfunden? die swizer!!

[koopdapoopscoop]

They play well, but the snares have a tendency to phase a bit

[trashytuck]

i like there feathers. but on a real note the top secret drum line is more focused on showman ship then the drum corps.

[Ich3003]

these guys are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[crippler5150]

Drumline sucks my ass...

These guys kick the shit out of the Drumline girls...

[RandomanProductions5]

I used to think these guys were really good, but today I saw Drumline Live, and I think they were much better.

[KODIN13]

I still prefer the Drum corp, they obviously put across a more militaristic style that some, including myself prefer, although Drumline is an extremely awesome group. Each to their own I suppose

[h311spwn94]

boring, i've seen much better

[freretod]

a quand la suivante superbe

[Xeffectlol]

!!!!SWISS!!!

[iguana900]

Ya pas photo, on est quand même doués en Suisse! :-)

[1170xps1170]

do they still do these performances?

[rozza2805]

They perform almost every year at the Edinburgh Tattoo.

[belgostar]

Ouaaaaaouh !!!! je suis soufflé ! pffffffff ils sont trop bon ! Bravo pour ce bon moment de pur plaisir !

[wombatdrivingforce]

the best ever !!! oh my God!!! can not touch them on sync !!!

[MeneguzziTiAmo]

machet wiiter soo!!! You are the best!!

[WPUpioneer]

I'd love to see the drumline of the USMC drum and bugle corps take these guys on!

[wombatdrivingforce]

and I thought the American Drum lines were Awesome!!!!! LOL !! I would like very much to see them LIVE !!!!!!!!!

[alarob]

Absolutment fantastique!

[1DRUMSandGUNS1]

acually there is a US group preforming in the 2008 Basel Tattoo

[Ichweissnichtwieichh]

stop that! This is jsut awesome and amazing for those young people! Keep it up! Oh und noch was ^^ Ich kenne Benni Buehler =) also liebe gruesse an den Bruder ^^

[saltdude]

typical ´blablabla from young senil idiots,

[ivahardy18]

if you guys are so amazing at this kind of thing why havent you been asked to perform at the tattoo (a place where only the best from around the world will do!) hmm?

[LegendofJ]

...because we're in a different country, too busy touring across America because we've already been invited to play in NFL and college stadiums?

[CheesePhoenix]

Whereas these guys are touring across the world?

Seriously, they're selling out absolutely wherever they go. Even in America - they're doing something for some kind of football league, I believe.

[VampireYouth]

Fuck you man, watch that.

Thats mad.

[kberryb3]

These "guys' have been in the Tattoo since their creation you stupid moran - these "guys" rip any DCI drumcorps in half - you play in high school marching band or something?

[LegendofJ]

These guys are seriously horrible. Learn to play clean before putting in lame visuals. The writing is boring, the visuals are tacky, the entire thing is UNIMPRESSIVE. Go back to the drawing board... Can you play a paradiddle?

[gancska]

Maybe you're right, but I would like to see you do something better.

It's not an easy job to accomplish something like this

[Postie1]

Actually, there are better, far better. The "show" is just that. There are drum lines here in the US, and elsewhere, that could easily put on a show like this. They aren't that complicated. The drumming here is just rudimentary drum line stuff. Again, nice show, but not extraordinary.

[kberryb3]

You're an idiot if you wouldn't dare say this show could actually be duplicated by a DCI drum corp in the US - NO WAY, Get of The Crack Pipe and eat crow.

[Postie1]

Finally, someone else who sees the "glitz" besides me. Just wait, we'll get cussed at soon. Although, I don't know if I would say they're "horrible", they aren't anything near say, the Blue Devils drum line in skill. Nice show, tricky stunts, but not competition quality drumming.

[LegendofJ]

I thought I was all alone in this world.... As a member of an Open class Drum Corps, I'm practically horrified at these people seeing this is the best they've ever seen. They obviously haven't seen too much.

[ResearchKnowledge123]

Please recommend your top corp videos. I'm a fan not a drummer. I'd like to see the very best performances.

[crackruckles]

Have you ever done anything like this before?

It isnt easy doing drill without a comander, of sorts and these guys do it without any commander and they still manage to keep in time and step.

I think they are awsome go the swiss.

[LegendofJ]

The corps I march in actually came in first place in 2005 and 3rd in 2006, both years without a drum major.

[gancska]

Well I actually think in Europe we don't have as marching groups as you in have in the USA.

And in Hungary there are only a very few drum groups and they don't have traditions like you.

That's why most of us haven't seen things better then this.

It would be awesome if a real marching band would come to Hungary

[JJ17261]

These guys are good showmanship wise but their sound is not that good. American groups sound much, much cleaner so thats what were used to. And your right about their not being many drumlines any Europe compared to USA. Almost every high school has one and then you get into all of the DCI groups.

[ResearchKnowledge123]

What video do you recommend I check out that shows off the top American corp? also what does dci mean? i'm not a drummer, I'm a fan of drumlines and their music.

[EdwardPearse]

And were you asked to perform at the Edinburgh Tattoo? Oh wait, you probably didn't want to show up the Royal Marines with how good you obviously are.

[Malachayas]

Yee-Haa! Switzerland kicks ass!

Yeah Mann, mer Schwizer händs eifach druf, oder?

[lolkebab88]

I'm proud to be from Basel...

[kawazx10rturbo]

absolutely perfect !awesome....keep on going

[trlstaff]

WOW< FANTASTIC !!!!

[led0zeppelin1977]

i love the part where it sounds like a train starting up and speeding up. the bass drums sound like a deep combustion and the snares sound like the steam hissing out. well done!

[H00L3y]

its called a 'double stroke roll'

[truckie664]

This is awesome..I wish I had that much experience to work like that

[Sesshomarufan30]

first time seeing this and its great.

[ser132]

Guess they're not too top secret any more. Phenomenal!

[drummasta1000]

THEY'RE AWESOME!!! hey all check out my drum videos please!!

[olimpia776]

Esses rapazes são incríveis!!!

Top Secret Drum Corps é um espetáculo para os olhos e ouvidos!!!

[adsdaa]

Swiss army?

[led0zeppelin1977]

everyone in switzerland has to enlist at 18, so they have a pretty large army, but they dont do much fighting they just sell stuff. like swiss army knifes...and watches

[alarob]

What's really "cute" is the ill-concealed jealousy of drummers who watch this video. Erstaunlich!

[duhsmith]

I don't understand what you guys are so excited about. Coming from a background of marching drum corps this is nothing special and is actually quite dirty for the most part. If you want something really good go look up Music City Mystique

[Helvetic1291]

im speechless

[DeanHaemel]

OHHH density! lack of clarity.one 8 bar phrase after another. how about some uniformity. its one segment tear after another!musicality?not. cute ties though.tuned bass drums? excellent historical representation of 40 yrs ago.

[beautifulmikey]

This is the same piece they played at the Tattoo in Australia this year. it glues my eyes to the screen every single time

[Flyaholic5280]

jebus. i love these guys. They're so amazing.

[timc9]

absoloutly spectacular!! Military percision! saw them again there this year! world class!
