mate it takes years of practice and hard trading and you got to know all the Scottish music and remember them all that's hard work and try and march in time as well
@mtman69 don't think it made the enemy scared as much as certainly giving added strength to the troops, think those pipes and drums can intensify all hell coming at the enemy certainly:)
Now that the snp have gracefully removed all other parties we should march to england in the good company of 10,000 pipers and drummers,the rest of us marching behind with our kalashnikovs and claymores.Of course im only dreaming.Enjoy...........
being from nova scotia hhearing the pipes always makes me think of home here in nova scotia.. but maybe someday my fiancee and i will be able to make the trip to see the tattoo in edinburgh, God Bless Scotland
My music teacher in the early 1960s was Lt. Col. S. Rhodes MVO, MBE, Mus Bac, ARCM, formerly Director of Music of the Scots Guards (1949-59). He arranged a lot of Scottish music which is still played by pipe and military bands, including 'Garb of Auld Gaul'. I know he conducted at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in 1957. He was a brilliant musician and a real gentleman, as far as I know he only ever made one musical mistake, he let me join the school choir!
@smeggy501 Let me guess: You listen to death metal or pop music. I can play everything you listen to on the pipes. I could do it LOUDER on the pipes. And that's me, One man, One instrument, louder than your whole deathmedal band, that makes my ears bleed and it makes me want to fuck a rabbit. Besides, if you dont like music, dont listen to it you stupid cocksucker!
I don't think I've ever been so moved watching a video. You could HEAR Scotland and her people in that music. Rugged and beautiful, stubborn and joyous...Any American who says they hate the bagpipe has obviously never heard it played properly. This is....incredible.
the beauty in the movement and th sound is unspourpassed. the heart fills with pride and wonderment and great love for those who went befoer use and those who will come after to keep this alive. Bless them all
I've been to 2 Edinburgh tatoos. I get teary eyed just thinking about them. I get teary eyed every time I hear a bagpipe. You will never forget seeing an Edinburgh tatoo in person standing in the esplanade at the castle. nothing beats it, there is no way to describe it..
In Bale there is a Tattoo, too. The Basel Tattoo is after Edinburghs Tattoo the biggest in Europe, dunno if also worldwide. This year I'll go to the Basel Tattoo.
I have only experienced the Tattoo on TV but it is so amazing but I love the bagpipes and they are so in both step and tune that I only hope to experience a Tattoo one day in person...
You need to boil the reeds a wee bit before first use and tuning the tenor drones is a bit fiddly to the trained ear, unless you know what you're doing.
But I'd say go for it! Ive got a set of Piob Mhors from Blairgowrie, made to spec, so the reeds are a little softer. The only compromise for a lesser price, is they're just not quite as good as the Hardie.
The parents of my maternal grandmother were from Edinburgh. My grandmother was one of the few ladies I've ever known to play the bagpipes. I love this music and I am proud to be a Scot!
Correct me if I'm wrong - the greeks first incorporated an instrument, akin to the bagpipes, ( actually to round up sheep ) However, we scots breathed new life into this musical device, excuse the pun.
WARNING Hayley westerna starts blawin on about rule brittannia after this, so get ready to hit stop LoL. God**mn animals linking that to this what were you thinking LoL?
I just watched the wee afghani skit that the big yin does bloody hillarious it would scare the bejesus out of them LMFAO. I am trying to buy a cd with a studio quality rather than these cam vids with mhairis wedding on it performed by a mass band can't find it to buy. Who's silly idea was it to link this to a rule brittania pish vid? it plays straight after
I saw the Black Watch here in the States a few years ago. I am an expat....and even after 25 years gone from the UK the sound is mesmerizing..from the first note to the last...
@BPSkinhead - yes it is a moving spiritual sound to hear the massed pipes and drums. There aren't many people who don't feel it. Someday I'd like to be there in person.
@kyosho, effectively the UK has just one army, but theres regiments etc from scotland, england, ireland, as well as a few foreign countries, such as the Gurkhas, who are from Nepal.
I was there with my Wife on honeymoon and i wanted to take her to the tattoo, she was knocked back and wont forget that evening. There is something about having that many pipers together all playing together thats just spiritual. Can't wait to get over again to my home town and goto see the tattoo again once more, but flights from new zealand are expensive and now we have a young son, still we will take him to edinburgh to get his first kilt.
@urangatan My heart is in my throat...it must have been a once in a lifetime experience and you were so lucky to be there. I am certain your wee son will look very ever so fine in his tiny kilt!
Gilburton, you are correct but the Irsh consitution allows their people to join the U.K armed forces, there are thousands serving at the moment, Ireland, R.O.I does have its own armed forces, they are small but very well equipped
Something i wonder about. Does irland/scotland/england all got it's own military? I would pressume so since it's different countries, but you all go under UK. Kinda like US and it states, so yeah? Seperate, or united military?
Yes we are all one country except for Southern Ireland(Eire) which is independent .The army still retains the regimental system hence the many different regiments although due to downsizing a lot of regiments have been amalgamated e.g. The Royal Regiment of Scotland has been formed and many of the original Scottish regiments are now battalions under that one name.They all come under the name of the British Army.The Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force have always been single UK wide forces..
People from the Republic of Ireland can still join the British army the same as someone from England too. Infact more irishmen join the British army than the Irish army
filled me with pride, had the honour of being stationed at Edinburgh Castle in 1958,was there to help set up for the tattoo brought back fond memories and a few happy tears

The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards is held on the left of the screen, wearing "Royal Stewart" tartan, their Pipe Major is also the "Pipe Major" of the whole of tatoo, it is, since several years Derek Potter. The player of bass drum of that regiment is the only in the British Army to wear a white cap. I don't know for what reasons. could someone say what to me?
The white bearskin was given to the regiment by Tsar Nicholas the second of Russia in 1894, on his becoming of the Colonal in Chief of The Royal Scots Greys (now the Dragoons), why the bass drummer wears it I couldn't find out.
The honour of sporting a white bearskin is the preserve of the bass drummer of the Pipes and Drums of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards - marking a presentation to the Royal Scots Greys by Tsar Nicholas II in 1894.
Love the Skye Boat Song. Does anyone know when the Black Watch, Scots Guard, etc. will be touring the USA? I've never missed a tour since I was a kid in the 1960's.
My son plays drums with the Scots Guards pipe band. Unfortunately they are being called up to serve with the regiment in Afganistan later this year so are unable to tour. They will however be on live T.V on 13/6/09 (BBC) for the Trooping of the Colour. (The Queens Birthday celebration)
My God bless and protect your son. I'm in the US so we only get BBC America -- but I will look for the TV broadcast. Do you know when the last was that the Scots Guards toured the US? They've not been to Houston in many years.
Im a U.S. Soldier in Iraq right now. Thank you for your service and your son for his. We are all brothers in arms. I really enjoy listening and watching the Drums and Pipes. We had a prep Military schools pipes play at our going away.
I served along with The Black Watch when I was in the Royal Sigs. They were a wild bunch of hard drinking hooligans in peace time. Super troops during active duty.
themensh You the people, voted for this Drunk and born again Fool, G W a Fool , but at least he was an honest Fool that wore his faults, why oh why did the Great American people vote for him ?? so I do not Judge on 1 or 2 3 4 5 6 Presidents I look at the Millions , that voted for a Fool,, GW was led like some Neutered Bull by Cheney, Rumsfeld, & Pearle, and many others to the well of War, the mensh you wanna feel proud, pick a dude that will walk the talk
Azishome I think ! Churchill also Said the Americans will exaust every logical avenue, before they will come to the right avenue, America has never made a Correct decision from day 1,,,,,, your last President Bush, had a very limited, grasp of his Native Tongue English, he made America look so Stupid in the eyes of the World
We are still very proud of our presidents Carter and Clinton......do not judge a country on one person......or a dozen persons. I am proud to say I got to live in the UK for several years while serving in the United States Air Force. England is a marvelous country and I consider anyone proud enough to call England their 'home'....my friend.
This is why the "British" had an empire, can you imagine a foreigner seeing this and then realising they were only playing music, they must of thought if that's how they play music how do they fight ?
also when they fought it was the same ..forward no stoping plu the most scarest thing was the thin red lin e lifting there kilts and showing there bums pure scots
Yeah. That's what Winston Churchill said: "We shall play music for them on the beaches, we shall play music for them on the landing grounds . . . ." Actually, I think he said, "When are the Americans going to help us fight this madman?"
i think it was devils in skirts and im not sure but i think it somes from the charge of the light brigade there was also the red devils and the wooly devils
This is why the "British" had an empire, can you imagine a foreigner seeing this and then realising they were only playing music, they must of thought if that's how they play music how do they fight ?
Excuse my ignorance, but what are the guys in the first row, I mean the men with the stick in their hands? maybe the captains? generals? what do the sticks mean? thank you
they are referred to as drum majors. not real majors it is an appointment in todays millitary. The sticks are maces, used for band commands eg halt, stop playing, wheels, counter marches.
IN THE NAME OF A FALLING SOLDIER I AsK THAT U DO AN ACT OF HUMAN KINDNESS,for every life lost for our country,i would like to C that life lost turn into a life gained, so help some one with an act of kindness pay it forward,THANK U to the fallen,SUPPORT OUR MEN AND WOMEN,DONT FORGET OUR VETS, armand young BAMBOOTHEWALK/UTUBE AMEN
man seeing the drum majors reminds me so much when i was in navy league in canada and seeing this really brightens my days but also saddens it a bit knowing theres a war going on in iraq and afghan... r.i.p canadian soilders
Well said! I believe that the Romans had the same reaction, hence the building of Hadrian's Wall and their steadfast decision to proceed no further. I thank anyone who posted this wonderful collection of pipe musick! lol Bob
I was there for the 2008 tattoo and they were just as amazing this year. I just love the effect the bass drums have on the marching. It's like they're walking, not marching, but their feet are pounding into the ground with the sound of the drums.
From 2:04 to 2.10 is a perfect drumming part . Love it...the rest is still the best. :D

You need to boil the reeds a wee bit before first use and tuning the tenor drones is a bit fiddly to the trained ear, unless you know what you're doing.
But I'd say go for it! Ive got a set of Piob Mhors from Blairgowrie, made to spec, so the reeds are a little softer. The only compromise for a lesser price, is they're just not quite as good as the Hardie.

Im a U.S. Soldier in Iraq right now. Thank you for your service and your son for his. We are all brothers in arms. I really enjoy listening and watching the Drums and Pipes. We had a prep Military schools pipes play at our going away.

I served along with The Black Watch when I was in the Royal Sigs. They were a wild bunch of hard drinking hooligans in peace time. Super troops during active duty.

Azishome I think ! Churchill also Said the Americans will exaust every logical avenue, before they will come to the right avenue, America has never made a Correct decision from day 1,,,,,, your last President Bush, had a very limited, grasp of his Native Tongue English, he made America look so Stupid in the eyes of the World

We are still very proud of our presidents Carter and Clinton......do not judge a country on one person......or a dozen persons. I am proud to say I got to live in the UK for several years while serving in the United States Air Force. England is a marvelous country and I consider anyone proud enough to call England their 'home'....my friend.

This is why the "British" had an empire, can you imagine a foreigner seeing this and then realising they were only playing music, they must of thought if that's how they play music how do they fight ?

Yeah. That's what Winston Churchill said: "We shall play music for them on the beaches, we shall play music for them on the landing grounds . . . ." Actually, I think he said, "When are the Americans going to help us fight this madman?"

Excuse my ignorance, but what are the guys in the first row, I mean the men with the stick in their hands? maybe the captains? generals? what do the sticks mean? thank you
aztaroth5891 3 years ago
they are referred to as drum majors. not real majors it is an appointment in todays millitary. The sticks are maces, used for band commands eg halt, stop playing, wheels, counter marches.

Well said! I believe that the Romans had the same reaction, hence the building of Hadrian's Wall and their steadfast decision to proceed no further. I thank anyone who posted this wonderful collection of pipe musick! lol Bob

I was there for the 2008 tattoo and they were just as amazing this year. I just love the effect the bass drums have on the marching. It's like they're walking, not marching, but their feet are pounding into the ground with the sound of the drums.
