This video is priceless. VERY cool. Wish it included the whole set. For those wondering: Jim Kilpatrick said he played with Alex at Shotts from '73 to '79. His last year with Shotts was 1979, after which he went to Polkemmet until returning to Shotts in 1987. So not only is KP not in this; he wasn't even with Shotts in 1980 when they won the World's and best d/c. But he was in '73.
Amazing, i bought his composition book the other day, loving it. Did ya see the guy going past on the bike at 1.08 whats the craic there. LOL Was there no barriers in 82
Yea, it's Alex, Arthur Cooke, Jim Hutton, can't see the rest, if the year was posted we would know else was in there, definitely Bert Barr in there somewhere but can't see him.
Doubt if its that arse Kilpatrick mate.. Never was & never will be good enough... He couldn't even get a game carrying anyone in that core's drum case in them days or even now....He just has never been in that class and never will be even though he thinks he is....
OK, you have just shown what little you know about this corps.
Jim played under Duthart.
Next time you want to talk badly about a drummer, consider their actual accomplishments. Here are a few, just off the top of my head (split into a couple posts):
-SIXTEEN TIME world solo drumming champion
-Winning the World Drum Corps Championship for a record breaking eleven years in a row between 1988 and 1998.
Don't get me wrong; Duthart was a pioneer, and was one of the best ever to put on a drum. But for you to make ridiculous comments like "...he just has never been in that class and never will be, even though he thinks he is..." makes you look beyond uneducated
its crazy to see how much pipe band drumming has changed since then

Is the Cameronian rant not called "Come, sons of dogs, we will give you flesh"? or something related in Gaelic?

-the only leading drummer ever to win the 'Grand Slam', which consists of winning all five major drum corps championships in one season in 1991.
-This run coincided with him actually winning 10 major drumming championships in a row over three seasons between 1990 and 1992.
-Major endorsment deals with Pearl Music Worldwide, Randall May International, Remo, Roland and Vic Firth.
