Bluecoats Drumline 2009 Encore Flams

[M3ssageT4k3n]

Why are their basses so thin?

[BSBINC1]

at first i thought that was they blue devils 2007 lol

[drumer93]

bpm is 96-120, this is around 105 I'm pretty sure. most everything in this exercise is 16th notes, with the exception of a few 8th notes.

[qbguy02]

that's pretty bad ass! BlueQ!

[reefedbeats]

those are some thin basses.... wow.

[drumlinedude42]

The ending is fun as hell

[Crueltool8]

the offbeat tenor skanks are delicious

[bishopman100]

@Crueltool8

[Gingie312]

@Crueltool8 The best kind of skanks

[picklepunk]

Anyone have this sheet music?

[tommy2122108]

got it

[Palavalve]

Gah, this is such a great exercise!!

[iambiglucas]

i love the bass part during the 2nd rep! makes me wanna dance!

[stevenjamesburks]

This is kind of rediculous. I don't think there is another corps out there playing an excercise like this. Battery-wide, they are playing continuous flams at least @ 150 BPM 8th note triplets, cleanly.

[scoobydizzle03]

its actually in 16th notes

[stevenjamesburks]

Sure. Dissected at a bpm of probably 135 then.

[evalution345]

yes it is 16 notes and the fastest they play it is 120

[griffinthe]

@stevenjamesburks it's about 120 bpm.. most flam exercises hover close to this

[MrZepher67]

@stevenjamesburks

Cavaliers when they played Flam-I-Am.....

[JetPoweredFace]

@MrZepher67 Flam I Am is nowhere near as difficult as Flam 123. Trust.

[MrZepher67]

@JetPoweredFace

Flammus and Flam I Am are both way harder than Flam 123. At least to play CORRECTLY they are.

The only difficult part of Flam 123 is the flamflams close to the end ._.

Once you get your hands moving the correct way this exercise isn't very difficult.

[rikuantu]

@MrZepher67

true bu then again flam i am isnt as diffuclt either, and flammus isnt diffucult either once you under stand the excerice. but there flams are like bouncing flams which is hard on both hands to do....

[kayylowpez]

anyone know the model of their harnesses?

[thephantompen]

we used the randall may harnesses with the post mounting system instead of j bars.

-adam

[bejay20x]

is there any like advantage to not using j-bars? they advertise it as an awesome thing but is there a real advantage to the mounting system?

[thephantompen]

it makes marching a little easier. playing wise, we had to get rail extensions to set the quads a little further away from us. but the double post mounting makes it easier to march, especially forward and backward, because there isnt a j bar in the way.

-adam

[PeanutButterGorilla]

@thephantompen yeah, that's what i would figure. My school uses J-bars which i kind of hate, but we definitely don't have enough money to switch to double post haha.

[TheSyncopator]

for tenors yes. for snares, unless youre 7ft tall then it makes no difference

[TJM18]

new mexico?

[iplayguitar117]

i miss Blamm!

[jey12345]

Here you go sweetie!

[brown55061]

4th and 5th snares from the left has great hands! And the tenors look stout as well. Thats a rough warm up!! Inverts suck so bad.

[yeahyeahyeahyeahya]

"Inverts suck so bad."

haha not according to them :P

[michaelwr80]

[drummingislife91]
