Spider Drumline Cadence

[RandomHero486]

Mmmmm match grip.....

[MrSexyStawberry]

Wow, good playing! Sucks your school can't provide you the equipment to match your talents though!

[JerkChickenFilms]

I LOL AT YOUR CYMBAL PLAYER WHO OBVIOUSLY ATE THE REST OF THE LINE

[kendrummer1]

Too bad the recording is so bad. Tune your tenors!

[jubjubs117]

Our school have a very different version of Spider

[bobbykhawk]

You guys are playing hard (the sound is not good for video) remember Spider is not about loud its about a relaxed funk that comes from playing together as a constant loop of instruments in Toccata and fugue style. These folks are playing spider way to fast and missing the timing funk that is generated from the cymbals and instruments

[theblackheavens]

this looks like shitt.

[subterramaster09]

I'm a psychologist and this shit depressed me

[j054uaj054ua]

Yikes!!!

[j054uaj054ua]

@j054uaj054ua YIKES!

[FrostyTheBroman]

what up with the lopsided tenors

[boarthefighter]

dude, why are the basses counting off? the lead snare should be counting off!

[antononly]

@boarthefighter you have obviously never heard the spyder cadence, the basses count off cause they are supposed to have a little feature in the beginning.

[boarthefighter]

@antononly dude I play every friday at football games fyi. I understand what you're saying though. In my drumline, the snares just count off everything, so I guess this drumline is just different from mine. My bad...

[antononly]

@boarthefighter this is the way that every drumline plays the cadence, it's the way that the cadence is written, the snare will do a verbal count off, and the basses start the feature.

[thunderbird5898]

lol @ far right snare's sticks in...

[jamalb4life]

matched grip WTF??

[boarthefighter]

lol mega tubby cymbal player

[Stupiddude51]

The snares arent supposed to play the first time through on the second line

[PHSDrmStaff3]

Tenors, can you please make your drums level with each other? That is sooo annoying when drumlines can't take the time to look professional. Before you play the first note, it already looks bad. In marching percussion, half of how you sound is how you look! Remember that.

[megamegan944]

ahhhhh MATCH GRIP D:

[zoom2016]

whats up with the snare technique? and thats definitely not the REAL version of spider like what suncoast sound played. and the tenors are super dirty and the snare rolls suck to. also everyone is looking around. just not very good at all

[fhstenor]

but for a small school in mid missouri with no percussion instructor and only two weeks into the season, this wasn't that bad so ease up y'all. and for the record, we're a pretty talented group... the lead tenor in this video graduated last year and now plays tenors for the purdue drumline as a freshman. the rest of us graduate next year, and i know two of us who will be playing for mizzou.

[fhstenor]

wow this was our line two years ago and lookin back, all y'all are right: we were bad. match grip looked horrible, it was something we decided to try out the year after our percussion director left so we could ease a new freshmen onto the line, turns out it was a bad idea....we're back to trad now. god knows why our tenors looked soo janky, those are fixed now too btw. the "tubby" cymbal player is actually a nice guy tho, so fuck you whoever said that.

[riotgirl2808]

i like the tubby kid on cymbals ^.^ i want to be him when i grow up

[LS6Silverado]

i love how the guy in the yellow is like this is so awesome!!!!!

[marimbaman95]

absolutely horrid

[scratch189]

flag this shit, it hurts my ears. your tenors sound like shit

[WhoDatNationStation]

is that a chick playing tenor??

btw, the quads sound horrible, get new drums

[iXenLord]

all instruments are tuned horrible it sounds like a wave of sound cause they are not tuned the same. tenors are over powering here they are just to resonate behind the tenors to beef up the sound and wow those tenors are horribly positioned.

[rebelgamer94]

nowadays traditional grip is now for looks, matched gives the best in performance,

[lifeisaplan014]

our drumline plays match grip it's alot cleaner when u have dumbasses that don't want to try to learn traditional

[KeishaAlexis]

Eww... Match Grip???? For Marching??? Really??

[cheath432]

thank you! amen

[PHSDrmStaff3]

@KeishaAlexis I agree! Traditional 100%

[fschultz12492]

@PHSDrmStaff3 There is no such thing as "supposed to."

[willbradlemusic]

@KeishaAlexis SCV 2005 and most 80's dci.

[gtrherokid]

@KeishaAlexis Thats what i say to my percussion director! he absolutey hates traditional grip! he said "I want the snares to play match grip because you have been playing it longer." im like what the fuck? did u know that in the high school band the whole point is learning new things? and get this... he let the drumline in 2009 play traditional grip...

[M3ssageT4k3n]

@KeishaAlexis ya our new percussion director is making us do that next year and its pissing me off

[studioman360]

get a better camera or a external mic horrible sound quality!

[itsQuixoticQ]

you sound terrible. and why does your snares play match grip?

[UrMomCallsMeJeff]

yeah two of the bass drummers aren't playing in the center of the head no traditional grip for the snares looks pretty bad and tenors are uneven and the middle cymbal doesn't know how to crash properly

[mdrummershea]

if those arent the jankyest tenors uve ever seen

[B14XtremeDrums]

thats a cery nice cadence..... y did u kill it wit ur macthed grip and no style and. i hope u guys are a middle school band otherwise u suckU DONT EVEN NO HOW TO MARK TIME!

!!!!!!!!

[vinhdiesel]

there's nothing wrong with matched grip, it gives better tone quality

[ghostlat]

Snares... Why? Matched grip looks horrible. Not only that, but there's also no declared position for playing. Everyone's elbows are doing their own thing, some are too far out, some are scrunched into their sides... I suggest traditional style and work on setting a uniform "set" and "playing" position, and stick with it.

[deadlymassacre1]

Matched grip ftw

[ATreeFairy]

Ha nub.

[deathshadow534]

tenors!!! play in the zones

[jonathantedder]

yeh rite bad asses play match grip.

[UrMomCallsMeJeff]

no dumb asses play match grip

[jonathantedder]

haha

[thasnargoblin]

welllll, i would agree with you on that, but dartmouth high school plays match. and at the WGI world finals, they get like top 3 every year so theyre pretty bad ass.

[cheath432]

true statement

[ATreeFairy]

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BASSES ARE DOING SINGLES FOR THE SOLO!!!

Me and our 3 other basses do sixes. xD

hahaha

[BurningGundam85]

this cadence sounds awesome but only if you had a better camera

do you still have the music?

[ATreeFairy]

Yes i do, well we dont use it, we Re wrote the spyder cadence and call it Green spyder, Cept we wont give out the music its gulf high cadence and ill put a video up as soon as i can.

[viewlessdwarf]

Bas ass? This video made me lol quite a bit but i almost died laughing when i saw it said badass in the description. Many things bad, for one i dont like matched grip, looks dumb. Everyone apparently has no idea where one is bc they r all marking time differently. To me the tenors and basses should be tuned higher. And tenors need to play at the edge of their drums, not the middle bc it deadens the sound.

[DeerParkDrumline22]

Play traditional grip nubs.

[dimmproductions]

Only the true nubs who chose looks over superior technique play traditional.

[Ryano213]

look how slanted the middle tenor sits lol...

[Paps2012]

Basses 1 and 2 need to play in the center of the heads.

[MarnieGray]

NOT bad ass.

I spied too many things wrong...

[zackinac1234]

This is my personal opinon but i for one hate match grip it feels weird and looks goofy to march with. BUt thats me personal opininon

[Veltholath]

Basses need to mark time in sync and hit those 32nd bass runs, do that and it would sound a hell of a lot better. snares sound sloppy, and matched looks sloppy.

Quince sounded pretty good.

And cymbals...well they're not a very difficult instrument to figure out.

[RaidersJH12]

lovin the cymbol player next to the tenor

[xsketchdudex]

lol tubby

[xIPISIYICIHIOIx]

You are so right redknightdrummer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

espicialy level the tenors and tune the basses way up

ps its just bad not bad ass

[redknightdrummer]

those snare drums look small, center tenor's drums look off... first bass raise your drum as high as you can!! 3rd cymbal looks like he's new-- ohh and basses need to be torqued uup.. is this practice for a parade or something?

[TeJai92]

LMAO

[DreamNeonBlack]

HAHA and the bassline isn't even marking time in sync. God, this is the simplest version of this cadence I've ever heard, especially the bassline!! What, can't handle 32nd note runs on the bassline?

[DreamNeonBlack]

Any snareline that plays match grip is gay. Match grip sucks. Oh, and to the author of this video, that was NOT bad ass. It was just bad.

[leonard03]

i prefer but match is basically the same thing.... i mean its a little akward on snare but its the same thing lol i dont see y ppl are freaking out about match.... but traditional is a bit harder

[DarkGaaraX]

yeah Match Grip is pretty cool.. I've seen awesome people play under Match Grip.. Can't really tell what the real sound quality is like with this camera..,but you guys looking fresh..

[LefthandedLJ]

nothing wrong with match grip. chill out.

only thing i gotta say is u cant really hear the real sound quality with the vid. thats all.

[fhstenor]

OMG a freakin positive comment!!!!!! thats amazing!

[treythedrummer1]

@fhstenor not negative but find a tuning for tenors

[djt434s]

Anyone suggesting traditional grip should know that there is no technical advantage to it, only cosmetic. Traditional existed when drums were worn on slings and were therefore tilted, so traditional made sense. You can figure out the rest on your own I'm assuming. Good job to this group, they do very well, given their resources and expectations and that's great!

[aintmybabyfour]

Yeah, but it's traditional for high schools to march traditional grip hence the word "traditional".

[TheMippo]

It's called traditional because that's what drums were Traditionally played like.

<_<

Match grip is good to learn because it applies to other percussive instruments like mallets and Timpani.

[pearldrums666]

its called traditional cuz thats what they used to use wen snare drums were on slings and tilted. no that they are straight on harnesses it doesnt rly matter. i personally play traditional tho

[TheMippo]

I know. Traditionally, drums were on slings and tilted.

[pearldrums666]

thank u i jus sed that

[TheMippo]

Then there was no need to restate what I just said.

[drummerdude27538]

epic fail??....nice try guys :(

[chrissanders07]

really?

you guys should maybe stop now.

[TheYoungOne477]

yea one of the tenor kids isn't standing up straight... lol

[HornetDrumline]

I thought it was awesome..seeing as though Im in the line. The sound quality does suck so dont judge how it sounds because you werent there. And we play match because we have some freshmen on the line and we werent as confident playing trad. Seeing as though we represented Missouri in the Independence parade we didn't want to risk sounding like crap.

[yugiohmaster14]

nicely put im tryin out for the line next year and i hope i make it this is my first year playin drums

[TheMippo]

I was very lucky to make snare my first year, and it helped me out tremendously. You should still practice all throughout the season for whatever you want to play next year.

[itscalledfutbol16]

u guys look gay playing matched grip.

and what the hell is wrong with those tenors? they LOOK and SOUND like crap

[kibathakilla]

y do ya'll play in matched grip and they're in high school

[closure21]

lol looks like that one cym player ate the bass's talent.

[henryso1]

hahaha that was hilarious

[lilmann111]

my school play this ours is better

[pooptothefourth]

yeah...this is our drumline warming up just before the 2008 National Independence day parade in Washington D.C. the quality is pretty bad because it wasnt taken with a camcorder just a camera with a video feature

[hungarianszilard]

this is awsome but the sound quality is crap
