@drumkid1982 I thought it was called dutting? They're saying 'dut dut dut dut', not 'dat dat dat dat'

[drumkid1982]

@xelementassassin my bad, typo i meant dutting

[xelementassassin]

@drumkid1982 i bet somewhere it is called datting though lol, i've always called it dutting cuz that's what i was taught

[speck1311]

[DieNaSty4me]

whats with the snare dudes technique farthest to the left?

[fromint]

he just chokes up more with his left hand.

[dDrRaGeX]

jeeze i didnt even notice that lol

[kingsajous]

i like how they me and statics hand slap vis from atlanta quest 08!

[stratgeek09]

the snares are a little dirty...but overall pretty good and man I'd hate to be that short guy since they all put their snares at the same height...so awkward feeling

[Xtreme10385]

Clean.

[palthir]

go bones!!!

man Im gonna really need to work on my skills If I ever want to do this

[NailI3unny]

Crazy visuals. I love it when a drumline can actually incorperate visuals into a book and make it look good. Most of the time they look retarted.

This is such an underrated line.

[XylussN]

@NailI3unny Bluecoats to well.

[hershy31]

did they make it to finals that year?

[crossmen2000]

We were 7th at finals this year.

[Kaifukuryoku]

"We don't need no stinkin' Dr. Beat!" said the Tenors.  LOL!!!

[hershy31]

they got some crazy visuals in this.

too bad they dont do that no more

[crossmen2000]

Marching with this drumline kicked so much ass. Us brass-players that year loved watching them play just as much as they loved hearing the brass. It was killer.

[speck1311]

Id have to agree BCE! :)

[RUDLKA0708]

Awesome stuff till the boring cymbal section.

[johnpaddie]

I knew a guy in plates this year I think.

[johnpaddie]

Well looking back on it, I'm not quite sure if he was in this early, but his name was Ryan Jezierski. He marched bottom bass for The Woodlands High School and Crossmen plates for a few years I believe. I'm not sure if that was 2001 or later. I took his spot in 2003 (after one guy) and I also knew and worked his sister Sara.

[speck1311]

Yea he was there that year, his first year was 2000, really cool guy.

[outside311]

ryan marched plates from 00 to 04.

[speck1311]

Thanks for the kind words :)

[joedirte3]

ok idk about any1 else but there wasnt one snare tick, there was a pretty cool visual and the tenors are playin some nasty licks...i dont see how any1 could be bored or criticize this vid man...this is tight and together...

[awesomemicawesome]

clean

[redolito]

gay

[Ridebmx34521]

kill your self

[roonman111]

very clean but boring

[drumcrob12]

That was clean

[rio197]

tenor guy on the farside, he's in rhythm x now, right?

[LegendofJ]

this was the video that made me want to start drumming in a corps....

but...

is it just me or do they seem to rush a lot?

[ekleve]

2001 Crossmen is definitely one of my favorite shows of all time! This video gave me musical blue balls because I wanted to hear the hornline come in! :-)

[GroveSteppers]

Its Ok quad line is awesome

[speck1311]

Yea us guys in the bassline got no love in this vid. :)

[chsdrumdude]

that's one of the best quad lines i've seen from X-men.

[joedrummer14]

That is perfectly togeather

[Drumline09]

these guys are my favortie corps, they are the only close corps where I live and now they are in Texas. :(

[Drumline09]

I love the sound of a Dr. Beat in the morning! haha

[dbjksdafsda]

i love this vid. i've watches this over 200 times and it's never gotten old. the lead snare is bad-ass! hell, they're all bad-ass!

[Drumline09]

I agree the center snare is ballin! but you got to be in a line like that!

[speck1311]

Kinda funny but the center snare isnt actually the "center" :) The bond guy just left of center was the captain.

[superdude1112]

That's because there's eight, and when you have eight snares, there's no true center....

[speck1311]

actually there are 7, and no none of the tenor players from that year went to RX but Tim Jackson did march Crossmen the next year.

[superdude1112]

really, I thought there were 8... in that case it may have been a drill issue at that point in the show...

[speck1311]

Thats kinda what it was, we had 9 snaresto start with but lost 2 for various reasons, we had 5 tenors at one point too.

[rockjunky116]

gotta love the doctor

[drumier]

dci judges the toy sound still is craaaap get an ear and let them play snare drums

[cru4you]

left most snare chokes alot alot alot on his stick check it

[Dragon150043]

NO he doesnt. Check what grip they are using. They are using a more french grip. Which is a flat hand. Re watch it. You will see.

[kietey14]

WRONG, french grip is thumb on top...

[Dragon150043]

I thought that was german? oh well.

[aresface]

German Grip is the same as matched Grip

Congrats you just got owned by a 14 year old

[Dragon150043]

Actually, we were referring to the rotation of the hand. I do know that all of these names refer to matched grip, but when speaking of a Rudimental snare drummer playing Traditional with his left hand, the use of 'German, French, American' refers to the hand that plays 'matched' or the opposite of the hand that plays traditional. Good observation. There is a reason you are only 14.

[DRUMMAbmiller]

who cares what grip it is as long as it sounds good

[cru4you]

i loved that show and DL 2001 pwned

[SeasOfCheese929]

What a badass snare line...

[Juicy7Juice]

ERGH!!! DR. BEAT!!! Me hate that thing..sigh, sweet Battery though

[KickerLivinLoud]

I like how the snares used the cymbals. Simple...but still cool.
