USMC Drum & Bugle Corps (Marching to Marine Corps Square)

[4memememeful]

wow this is so impressive i seriously regret not doing band throughout high school...FUCK!

[anniers7]

The snares are too tinny. I really miss the old snare drums. The heads were looser, and they had a richer sound. Tough to play clean, though.

[gmonet46]

BTW Valdrag we spell that with a capital "M" since we are the Country's elite! Just kidding, but fact. Don't anyone get a hemmoroid!

[gmonet46]

I continue to cry after 40 years at my Marine Corps. D&B Corps. No one touches them...huurah!

[Peter01Fett]

@gmonet46 Oorah* .... Lol

[pegasus619Q]

tooooo freaking clean. awesome.

[Valdrag]

Dosnt suprise me, marines will kick our asses at anything.

[sundimond9252]

our government can only afford one cadence these days. :/

[semajsnikrep]

@sundimond9252 we can afford anything, just print more money. But in reality, we dont need things like this to show off our military might.lol

[sundimond9252]

@semajsnikrep Dude printing more money doesn't mean we gain more money. key word, inflation.

[semajsnikrep]

@sundimond9252 i was joking dude, inflation is a good reason why we should go back to the gold standard though

[TheyCallMeSeamus]

@semajsnikrep Lol fail, no matter how much money we print, we'll still be in debt. We're not in debt in our own money, we owe other countries money and we add up all of it after converting it using an exchange rate. If we print more money than it's just more for us to lose. Meaning that no matter how much we print, it won't make a difference because there'll still be a set amount that we actually have.

[semajsnikrep]

@TheyCallMeSeamus paper money is imaginary, it is solely based upon faith. 

[ttencm3]

@angryfurniture this is thr marines.

[vball7732]

The drums have an asian sound to it. nice. what kind of drums are those?

[SemperFidelis52]

@vball7732 Altos Tenors, etc. etc. go talk to a marching band director they'll let ya know.

[suazobomber]

@SemperFidelis52 Never heard altos b4 -_-

[TheLogan1156]

@vball7732 Look like Yamaha Sfz's, to me.

[GUNSandTRIGGER]

@vball7732 you may be refering to the quints or the harness with five drums on it. and if you dont remember your comment it was what are the drums calls that have the asian sound to them

[codymichael21]

@alsimpinator that's 99.8% correct. However I must argue that I attended a high school in Parkersburg, West Virginia that has had the same cadence since 1934. As honor for the general who wrote the cadence and although it can be argued as school spirit. We see it as a sign of class.

[angryfurniture]

Now this is a cadence. Most of the college marching bands have such crappy cadences it hurts my ears.

[Alsipanator]

@angryfurniture High School and College Cadences are written for excitement and school spirit. They don't have class like the USMC.

[inyobill]

@angryfurniture

I would say "kick ass", as a matter of fact.

[DcnAlumni19621974]

What,????Only the best Cadence You have Heard all Week??????, Hell Man, it's one of the Best " STREET BEAT'S " I heve ever Heard , and the "ONLY GREAT ONE " Heard in Years.....It's a " REAL " Street Beat!," NON" of this.. DCI.. BS!!!!!!

[luvsthickwhitechicks]

@DcnAlumni19621974 Gotta co-sign with you on that. Most DCI drumline cadences are nothing more than "rudimental shopping sprees", some of which are so disjointed and convoluted that it is a wonder how one could march to them at all.

[waresthedoughnuts]

best cadence ive heard all week

[FlamHighFive]

WOW what a split at :44 and 1:08. Sick bassline, nice hertas too!

[hobes9]

i would have the that the count off would be cooler.. but the actual piece was cool

[DcnAlumni19621974]

That's one ' HOT " Drumline, True Crawford' would be Proud, God rest His Soul......This from one of His Studants from one of the Many, Many, JR. Corps He tought through the Years.......Jimmie Carter........

[EJL88]

Yeah, that gock on the tenors just cuts through the whole cadence! Sweet!

[latter678]

@EJL88 I think it might be a woodblock mounted on one (usually smallest) bass drums. That's usually where they place it in a drumline.

[latter678]

@EJL88 I forgot to say something. you can see that all the bass drums have woodblocks on top and you can hnear the gock sound when they hit it.

[EJL88]

@latter678 Ah, you're right. I didn't see that the 1st time. Killer cadence though. Thanks.

[latter678]

@EJL88 np. I would love to get the sheet music for this. lol

[bob4116]

Now that is a TIGHT drum line! Cool cadence!

[evankowalski]

Saw them yesterday in person, they're amazing.

[slikrok593]

These drummers are the "best of the best " ! Just like everything in the U.S. Marine Corps !

[TheSyncopator]

Im digging the walk beat.

[topper2142]

Sounds so freaking awesome!
