splitsplitsplitsplitsplitsplit­boom

[emorenow12]

suckskss dick

[Bonhamman90]

anybody else notice that the head on bass 5 has no Yamaha logo? lol

[kevinbeldin]

@Bonhamman90 yes and its either the glare from the sun making it hard to see or bass one doesnt have one either

[Coderedenator]

that was pretty cool

[NathanPhungMusic]

The last unison is flipping crispy.

[bigGman1111]

......wow......

[crazyzalaxgirl]

ohmydang. :DD wow. this just pretty much made my day. ;D i <3 bass drums! i cant wait to play mine again(next marching season... DDD: )

[FTWknob]

SORRY BASS 3

[saidincontent]

Is this even physically possible?

[firefreak2007]

Cadets can't touch this.

[j054uaj054ua]

Holy shit, It sounds like they're splitting flams across drums.

[slackeric101]

@j054uaj054ua Yep... they are.

[JoshCerda]

That's my high school's percussion head. The dude sitting on the floor.

[lightdarkness8]

how do they play this? do they count it or do they just feel it?

[the1oreo]

@lightdarkness8 dude! thats how babys are made!:D

[TarbizzleJennhizzle]

@lightdarkness8 BOTH! haha 

[Promark25]

@lightdarkness8 little combination of both. on the triplets probably count. but for the split ninelets thats more hit count to your first one and then feel the partial of playing a quarter note triplet off the beat. if that makes sense. lol

[TacoOnABoat]

wait...bass drums? getting recognition? and getting a solo?! IS THIS THE PROMISED LAND!!? :'D its not often bass drummers get something to do that stands out..

[skiddlecrumms]

wow... between this and the Cadets bassline... I just popped a massive hard on

[thefun4496]

[MrCReagan]

[tartanmusician]

Is it just me or does it get a little messy around 0:05? I'm not sure if that's written and I'm interpreting it wrong or if they just had a few seconds of slop...

[Drummaboyy13]

@tartanmusician how...dare ...you........just kiddin :p maybe

[tartanmusician]

@Drummaboyy13 Haha, I know, it physically hurt me to type it in, but I thought someone would've stabbed me in my sleep by now for that comment...

[codrumcaptain16]

[SheikTijl]

HOLY FUCK

[MFRoosy16]

our bass line has 6

[cminorharmonic]

@MFRoosy16 , but I bet they can't split like this.

[cminorharmonic]

@MFRoosy16 , but I bet they can't split like this.

[cminorharmonic]

@MFRoosy16 , but I bet they can't split like this.

[cminorharmonic]

@MFRoosy16 but I bet they can't split like this.

[smoothbeat08]

holy crap!!!! that was awsome!!!!!

[Promark25]

OMG!!!!!

bass five doesnt have a yamaha logo!!!!

[nickandbeninc]

first of all thats bass 1

and it dosnt have a logo because there is only a logo on one side and he had it upside down

[Promark25]

@nickandbeninc no. bass five (the biggest one) doesnt have a logo. bass one (the smallest) does have a logo you just cant see it because of the glare. and he obviously doesnt have it on upside down because the evans logo is still right side up. and all basses have a logo on both sides.

[aybassace]

@Promark25 he busted his head earlier that day playing 8s

[moore2hold]

I just came......

[bunyancutincrew]

too bad they never played that consistently every time....

[jakubrox19]

man thats up setting all our marching band can do is 8th not roll downs

[thsma2009]

HOLY SHIT THATS... WOW GREAT! notice 3rd bass is the only one who never stops playing for the 1st part.

[Alavistaven2012]

I love that last note, it seems higher than the one before it. I guess that's what a clean bass sounds like.

[phantomarsh]

drake melson sucks at drums... a lot

[mdrummershea]

@phantomarsh drakes a bro

[KickinBabys]

bass bosses.

[DCBDlife]

omg

[Trapmaker677]

goodness gracious!!!

[Alavistaven2012]

SO GOOOD

[tenor1vm]

all of the best basslines have a black guy in them bluecoats 08 and cavies 08 BEAST

[Inspadave]

Phantom '08

[VincentHiZull]

anybody got coats bass drum music your willing to trade?

[bongomar]

this is definitely one of my favourite bass features

[itscalledfutbol16]

o_O

[Snebasseor]

The 09 bassline paled in comparison, kind of disappointing but true

[BIGmike305tillidie]

nice

[TimRepsBT]

any bass drummer can appreciate this. cause it is FANTASTIC. i left a little something in my pants for them

[topbassman14]

third bass is freakin bookin it. haha

[TomLB]

Fucking epic, enough said really.

[TunaOfTheLand]

jeez my subwoofer makes this sound godly.

[peepers12]

@TunaOfTheLand The Bluecoats make this sound godly.

[TheMightyZooblin]

@TunaOfTheLand no! the bluecoats made it sound godly!

[reeldeelpeel]

Does anyone know for certain what the drum sizes were?

[lsuman93]

i just jizzed in my pants

[pasteryboy]

me to

that why i where a conndom every time i watch any bass sectional vids

jk

[pasteryboy]

i didnt mean to put a thumbs down on your comment

[stubbyt34]

Love this book.

[lovesdrumsalot]

god damn dude every time i see this vid, it makes my crotch tingle

[mysteryrockssssssss]

dude no homo but me to

[rdaniels95]

love that yamaha sound!!!

[ecuadorianshiz]

why do they set up basses backwards?

[thenixon]

because they are the bluecoats and they can do whatever they damn well please. but seriously it doesn't matter how you set up as long as you play clean.

[BurningGundam85]

this

[Phantom1722]

im pretty sure in the drill they are facing down the line, so thats the best way to pratice

[LHDLtenor]

because thats how they're set up on the field during their performance

[Taztingo]

was this the rocky show??

[kjac18]

blazing singles, my god that is just a cream jeans feature!

[leemcd56]

Dang!

[lovesdrumsalot]

i'm not bombing them i just don't like them as much.

[spedo4ever]

ok im no bass expert but something jus doesnt look right about what the bottom bass is doing around 7 or 8 seconds into the video

[MrIdlehands]

Um...?

[nenbran]

??? Yeah I don't think you are a bass expert haha...

[kas36spires]

what you mean playing his part? haha

[Brosephj]

SICK!!!!!!!!!

[dynastydrummer69]

that is the only time i heard that solo clean, its a pretty awesome solo, but pretty much every other video is kinda dirty

[ztothewood]

are you high?

[BurningGundam85]

does any one have the sheet music for it

[reefedbeats]

i do. its not that crazy. it just sounds really crazy

it starts out as 16th note 3's... aka splitting a dotted 8th

and then it goes to 6's with the same split pattern

and then its just some 4s, and some 32nd note 2s

[reefedbeats]

but i will admit =P this was the sickest bass solo in DCI this year, folowed closly by the cavaliers one.

[BurningGundam85]

can you send it to me?

[reefedbeats]

yeah i need ur email though

[AsianTrojan]

can i have it too?

[reefedbeats]

ask the other dude, my computer got a virus. and when i have it fixed idk if my collection will still be there......

[adamclay211]

That is incorrect.

[isiah1977]

Lovetruck wrote that. Not the guy you see sitting there.

[aybassace]

actually, mac wrote it for us...bro.

[isiah1977]

It don't matter, Adam didn't. LOL

[adamclay211]

Well, it's too bad you don't know anything about how things work at the Bluecoats, or any drum corps for that matter. This post proves it.

[adamclay211]

That is incorrect. Mac wrote the Rhythms. The guy you see sitting there wrote the voicings.

[ilikepancakes13]

its alright

[bltsponge]

Ahhhh, tweeners!

[SoaringEagle90]

favorite bass feature EVER!

[crodr071]

check out cavies 2004....

[mapexdrums4life]

All i can do is laugh and just say holy shit that was good!

[tommy2122108]

Ok...which bass feature do u think is better. Bluecoats or Cavies??

[advancewarsaddict]

The Coats bass solo was better, but the Cav's one was also pretty sick. I think overall the Coats had the better drum break, but the Cavs had the better show.

[HotPotatoFever]

Yeah overall the Bluecoats percussion line is just way better than their brass.

[lovesdrumsalot]

all percussion is better than all brass in my opinion lol

[kas36spires]

i love percussion as much as the next guy, going to march snare in corps, but always respect the love others have for their instruments and their qualities.

[lovesdrumsalot]

well ok then but this i think we can all agree that this video is pretty badass.

[dbrddr]

of course it is--I filmed it

[PomadeHead]

agreed bro it aint the cam man its the bassline

[lovesdrumsalot]

and i do respect them, i just think that percussion is cooler... i mean of course that's why i chose to play it... if someone likes woodwind more than they like brass, there's probably a damn good chance that they will choose woodwind.. i dont know why i offended so many people lol

[Evian05]

There's a whole lotta suck going on in that video. haha!

[RDawg007]

I think a got an erection off of that.

[ju4u1]

yea same.....

[eliseisradd]

that is fucking intense i lovee it

[drtbkr561]

Bass 3 is gettin it haha.

[isiah1977]

Where lovetruck at. they need him. I know they missing him know.

[paTRICK12358]

haha people are taking you seriously! (2 thumbs down already)

[beatlesrule19898]

bull shit!! i havent heard such clean runs in a while.

[fullaces90]

i wouldn't say trash but dirty in areas.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

What were they doing In Alma?

[dbrddr]

rehearsing for a show in Van Buren the next night.

[dpsnare4]

it goes 16ths to 9's to 4's to 6's

[MetalGearSTEPH]

Oh snap, that's my comment, just on someone else's account xD(vvv)

[StarshadowKnight]

I was wondering why this was in my favs...

[StarshadowKnight]

...I with my bassline was as good as this.

O.x

[vhsTenor2529]

Are those fivelets at 0:05? I'm trying to transcribe this...

[BaNdSnArEpLaYeR]

9lets mo

[Dr1drful]

Holy shit!

[jeremy116]

This is just sick. Seriously.

[drmnez]

is it just me or is the split 24th notes a hair off?

[drums2k6]

It really is just a hair but more often than not, at least when I saw them at Semis, they were pretty much spot on.

[RanchoBass5222]

bluecoats bassline 2011 here i come!!!!!

[drumrunner15]

2011 snareline here i come.!!!! or cavies snare line

[MatrixSnare]

[RanchoBass5222]

[RockinDrummerKid]

[rpgguy4801445746]

[drums2k6]
