[HugzTiem]

Wow. Now I know where my school got our tenors xD We have connections with the Cadets. My school got a few of these sparkly quints. And they STRIPED THEM of the shininess and covered them in duct tape to make them a boring grey. Boooo

[yeahyeahyeahyeahya]

They're playing sextets in this video.

[caroliniamot]

@HugzTiem boooooo is right!!! duct tape good for somethings, but not to cover tenor drums.

[Drumm3rboy48]

[bejay20x]

[frecklee13]

[tvhsquad1]

[urkhalmaster]

There is a freshmen drummer in my high school drumline who is also partially blind and he will probably be playing tenors later on so im going to send this to him.

[drmmrboy88]

Matt Bowers, your my hero man. Partially blind and still you march corps. your awesome man.

[legaeldan]

Matt Bowers is awesome

[nickvick76]

freakin sweet! but the heads make me sad ='(

[christianbase]

thats fucking insane

[ernestothesith]

i noticed that they keep off of the lowest drum because the guy on the right popped his head.

[pbProductions96]

lol why is there a kid laying down under the drums lol

[GP3PocketSnare]

To get the ultimate sound experience of being near an awesome tenor drummer.

[alexguitar93]

that's fucking sick.

[Tenorsarefun]

i've seen this video quite a while ago, but recently just realized that the guy on the right is Matt Bowers(DCI 2008 Tenor Champ!!)!!!

sweet! he did cadets

[topgunne12]

I've watched this probably 5 times, and JUST noticed the guys under the tenors. lmfao.

[tamadrummer1120]

haha no way, never noticed that.

[HSWWonline]

Damn! How long you been playing?!

[DieNaSty4me]

no...

[StringsofMartyr]

Trust me, my tech plays it all the time; it's Dick, one drum different, though.

[zoomscooper81]

I have the same exact hoodie those 3 people in the back ground have. Except it's maroon except for white

[ChrisDaKineVids]

"we got that for the 1st time"

lol

[EverydayRapier]

0:30-0:34, somebody went to UF...

[StringsofMartyr]

BD 1995, "Dick"

[videogamebrvs1]

i doubt they cam up with that on the spot...

[benwilliamsquad]

hehe. we did.

[MCMystique07]

they did. the dude on left marched mystique. i know him and i saw them over there for about 20 minutes just fucking around with this

[Brydizzle123]

was that some dick i heard?

[drmmrboy88]

the dude onthe right marched tenors this past year with BD.

[sickeningsplat]

Aaaaand he won i&e tenors.

[drmmrboy88]

didnt colby beers win?

[sickeningsplat]

Colby won 07. Bowers won 08.

[drmmrboy88]

is there a video for that? have the vids for dci 08 even come out yet?

[sickeningsplat]

I don't think there's any sort of i&e video out yet. Who knows maybe Matt Bowers himself might post a video? (If you didn't notice, look at the video poster's name.)

[i8apizza]

Check out Matt Bowers I & E

[emokllrs8]

that guy laying under the tenors is gonna deaf...

[redneckboom1]

hahaha random latin lover measures? nice

[vhsTenor2529]

Not Latin Lover, it's BD's cadence "Dick."

[rene1OOO3]

musically made no sense. but over all it was awesome.

[thamohawk]

is one of the cadet guy smoking in the video in the back ground?

[marimbist06]

yea...about that.

[Retsamolah]

fuck you

[marimbist06]

okay well.... as a member, it's strongly discouraged to do anything of the sort in any cadet gear.

just sayin'

[1OOYears]

Dam thats nice.... :)

[butlerbear92]

I sincerely hope that those aren't Pearls, because they really do sound...different.

I loved the drumming though. The cadet players are truly the kings of percussion.

[ctdjazz]

Those aren't, they're Yamaha.

[drumlines4life]

Yeah I was just going to say Yamaha but you answered it the question for me.

[i8apizza]

yeah. ESPN featured him on the DCI show in 2006. He marched Cadets in 2006 and BD in 2007. Will probably march BD 2008. Is marching Rhythm X this season

[Marvelman73]

Why did he want to change corps?

[enjoythesmash17]

he was looking for a corp that was still demanding but yet still chill. BD offers that.

[mczeetz]

that was wicked sweet.

[snairsucker13]

eh that was okayyy. nick werth is better!!!

[AdamB623]

man, if ben williams didnt suck so bad i might actually enjoy this video

christ.

[MOGDrummer]

Is that B-Dubs?

[drumhabit]

this is NOT 37 flam drags.

[drumperson1]

dang do you drums move around alot? because you dont take your eyes off of them hahahahahah!!

[alildrumhappy]

well the guy on the right, bald guy, thats the almost blind guy.. the one they did a speacial on 2006.. so, he cant even see the drums.. but, id look to if i just made something up..

[c2dinc]

Check out a lot of solo works, drumset, quads, a lot of them look at the drums. I find myself looking down at my drums when I'm playing drumset. It just sort of happens.

He can see the drums, that's no problem for Matt.

[alildrumhappy]

oh no doubt man, i look at my drums all the time.. well, almost all the time.. rest of the time my eyes are closed..

[c2dinc]

Yeah, I do that a lot when I play snare drum in the Purdue drumline. All sorts of pictures of myself I see I'm closing my eyes. I don't even know I'm doing it.

[P3rcuss10n]

they did a special in 2006 for that guy?

[alildrumhappy]

yeah, the guy on the right.. if im not mistaken

[FungusToes]

You mean Corwin?

He's my drum tech.

[alildrumhappy]

the guy in the white shirt?? or grey??

[FungusToes]

grey

I'm pretty sure it's him, maybe I'm just blind.

[alildrumhappy]

i thought that was the blind guy?

[FungusToes]

I don't know.

I just know that my drum tech marched tenors in cadets for a few years and was in pit in 05. He's bald and bears a striking resemblance to grey shirt guy, though his head is not turned at the right angle for me to positively identify Corwin's distinctive head shape, beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Well this is awkward. I just thought I'd brag about my drum tech being in the Cadets and now I'm not sure it's him in the video.

[alildrumhappy]

hah, mine marched carolina Crown, i think the scouts, and pioneer..

[RLRRsilentcoreLRLL]

dude the guy in the gray is matt bowers he marched blue devils in 2007 and is legally blind

[benwilliamsquad]

You mean Corwin Hendrix? That is not him, this is from 06 and Corwin marched 05. You are looking at Matt Bowers, who does have a similar head shape to Coriwn

[FungusToes]

Oh...yeah.

I was beggining to doubt it was him.

That head shape is important.

[marchingtenorguy]

Awesome lick! you guys are amazing on tenors!

[SUNSNARE06]

I've got a Vic Firth shirt just like that, lol, nice

[benwilliamsquad]

holy shit, check out the kid lieing on the ground right under the drums.

[jimmytango]

ben... isnt that you? lol

[myteenidol]

is that the sequel to the "Q"?

[benwilliamsquad]

Goddamn those guys are good

[mcbowers]

Who are those sexy slices of beefcake plain thos quads?

[N400PU]

I believe that is you Matt
