Anyone who cant see and understand this is some top notch drumming doesnt belong in the world of wonderful rudimental drumming. Please sell your sticks to the nearest kid... Sooldanbar? Ive played in drumcore and now in pipe band and yes, it is a very big difference and both are just as hard to master.

[princeargos]

haha i love this. i definitely agree with broken. i actually do this professionally and you would be surprised, sooldanbar, just how much effort and energy goes into these movements.

[princeargos]

due to the intricasies of the rudiments themselves the effort and concentration required to play them this tightly is incredible. add to the fact that you then have to play it to fit over 20 pipers and put it together from an ensemble perspective....well it's hard. these guys make this look incredibly easy compared to just how hard it really is.

[jammyb90]

Absolutely superb! No knit picking comments from me. These guys are good!!!!

[chamilton2392]

what is the name of the first tune?

As far as i'm concerned you can't compare the two disciplines as they are so vastly different by trying to accomplish different ensemble effects with different rudiments. Both disciplines hit snare drums with wood sticks and thats where the similarities end. Pipe Band drummers would have a very hard time adapting to DCI and DCI drummers would find pipe band drumming very difficult. The fact remains though that you have to be an exceptionally talented musician to play at the top in either.

[taorluath]

complete arse sooldanbar, you are obviously a pathetic drummer since a real musician would show more respect.

[sooldanbar]

Respect is earned, artard. I hope you arent one of those tools that have drum battles lol...that would be funny.

[SteveTheScotDrummer]

and your an idiot : )

[Mamasan41]

LOVELY!!!

[princeargos]

Guys and gals you need to realize that what appears to you to be buzzes and rolls are quite different pipe band rudiments. Rolls are a closed buzz. What you are mistaking rolls are actually singles, doubles and paradiddles in different movements. Pipe band rolls aren't just tight, they are straight hand to hand buzzes just played off the drum rather than into it.

[princeargos]

What rudimentary drummers might consider rolls, we consider pressing your stick randomly on the drum over and over again, without actually having a numerical value to them. I may be wrong of course that is just an assumption. Our rolls are a combination of repeated doubles on either hand in a closed movement creating a smooth roll effect.

[princeargos]

For example some of the rudiments commonly used in pipe band drumming are singles, doubles, paradiddles, rolls, drags, flams, open drags, split triplets, triplets, inverted paradiddles, flam 5's, flam rolls, ratamacues, inverted ratamacues, drag paradiddles, fuzzes, accented rolls (taps on accents, especially in strathspeys).

[bumfluff3000]

shotts are far beter than any other drum corps in the world! hands down!

[jdasilva5]

well they always do place first in the worlds for drumming its normally the pipe section bringing em down =/ even though the pipers are top notch not criticising em at all

[BOBBYURE77]

I love this band!!! Im a piper but love to hear their drummers go. Shotts Rock!!!!

[stevielad77]

Best drum corp, no doubt about it!

[Toppsnare]

go shotts & dykehead!!

[Thorpester]

I'd have to say I have the utmost respect for DCI drummers as well as Pipe Band Drummers, my self being a pipe band drummer. They're both good at what they do, and play in totally different environments.

[bilbodotcom]

Erm, so what's your point?

[mechmove]

Today's American DCI drumming is every bit as creative, and dare I say executed cleaner than pipe drumming, almost to a fault; execution at the expense of musicality. Though the Scottish drumming style does have a better sense of swing and personality within what does appear to be a "technical" context. I did attend an American high school that had bagpipes. We did have a parade cadence that had an excellent sense of swing, though no drum corp would ever play it today.

[Dmoney333]

yes, well i'd have to say that that seems to be a key difference between DCI drumming and pipe band drumming. expression and dynamics is just as important a factor as execution, in pipe band drumming...hence the better sense of swing and personality. without that you have simply the equivalent of a robot drummer!

[poxtonian]

it probably is tighter(dci) but man is the music lame

[dagdaj]

Yah, that's not buzzing. It's just roles that are tighter than...well...let's just say they're tight and leave it at that.

[nsamu]

What's weird about that? Are you an american marching band drummer or something? This is standard (yet very tight) Pipe Band stuff.

[Hmongguitargod]

the snare phrases are so weird...rolls then buzzs all of the sudden....what the...? Still very cool to listen however!
