  • why do you have all coated heads, then a clear head on drum 2? Just curious.

  • Did you say Denver, NC? O.o

  • dude thats sick!

  • please tell me you made it :) cus that was awesome

  • I can't believe ppl are saying nasty things in the comments. This is great playing!

  • dude ur really good where did u get the music for the cadence dick?

  • Would you happen to have music for dick? I have been wanting to learn it but haven't been able to find it at all

  • bune amkj

  • omg thats so awsome i play quads in band i would love to learn something from you!!!!!

  • those tenors are tuned like shit.

  • Do great chin strap beard and tenor chops come hand in hand?

  • 1:03

  • did that cadence have a the rythem or part of electric weelchair in it?

  • @HostBeat Look up legend of the one eyed sailor by Blue Devils, the cadence is called "Dick" (Richard) and it was made in the early 90's

  • how long have u been playing

    

  • what might help is havin better tenors...drums 3 and 4 seem ever so slightly tilted our ward.... i heard pearl fixed the problem now but id choose like dynasty or yamaha. also, it may just be the angle, but near the end, when u have all those crazy crosses and stuff, u just need to watch ur zones a bit better but other than that ir was pretty awesome! well done :D

  • Do you think I might be able to get that stick control sheet music from you please?

  • Fuckin sweet man!!! I love this! I know you said no comments from people not like a DCI instructor, but i have one tip for you. (BTW I'm an instructor at 2 high schools if that counts lol) Don't make that "Oh no! I messed up!" oh that "What's next face!" A judge is going to see that and know for sure you messed up. If you were actually auditioning-which i'm assuming you are- you can most likely get away with a mess up if you don't make a silly face. Just saying. lol GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

  • @sundimond9252 You do realize this video is from 2008?

  • Comment removed

  • your tenors look weird idk what it is they're like off set or something

  • Best part of the video.. 2 has a different head.

  • @19saxman91 Isn't it 1?

  • @jmsnare2009 Idk.. I was taught that the drums were 1-4 highest pitch to lowest.. which would make the different one 2... but I am sure there are different naming systems.

  • @19saxman91 It is the smallest that has the different head. I think you may be confused since you are looking at the tenor set backwards. Anyways, it doesn't matter really. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful.

  • those little tenors?

  • '95 Dick... I used to have the sheet music

  • 1:18 ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIR :)

  • are quads hard i wanna play them so bad for marching band(im a up coming freshman) and i dont want to get stuck on bass drum or symbols

  • @nayawalker i'm an upcoming freshmen to i played quads in eight grade hardest thing to get use to is moving around with your sticks other than that its easy and a lot of fun btw what school and area do you go to

  • @xcx273 well im willing to work b/c i really wanna play aha but im going to Cosby high

  • @nayawalker im starting band camp next week our half time show is most likely going to be africa

  • @xcx273 cool i go to band camp on 15th

  • カッコいいです‼

    僕もマーチングをやってみたいです(^^)

  • not bad. but definately could use some fine tuning.

  • Dude thats really good, i'm gonna try to practice to get on your level since i'm just starting to play tenors this year.

  • @MusicisMYlife210 Dude i would really love the tenor part for dick

  • I got tenors this year for marching band but i just picked up sticks a year ago and only have experience on bass 3. I'm good but not nearly good enough. Do you have any tips or drills to help me improve my skills as a drummer?

  • @LoveForEternity Just make sure you are good at control... as long as you can control your sticks and not hit rim, you should do good. This is because most high school tenor parts are very easy to play and memorize, so as long as you can read the music and memorize it, you should be good... and practice as well.

  • I got tenors this year for marching band but i just picked up sticks a year ago and only have experience on bass 3. I'm good but not nearly good enough. Do you have any tips or drills to help me improve my skills as a drummer?

  • do u have any sheet music i play tenors in my high school band and that was amazing

  • That was sweet man! Hey I know I'm probably 1000th person to ask this but do you have the sheet music for any of that blue devils stuff? I've been really trying to find some and with good stickings too. Thanks!

  • 2nd one was kind of a re-do of a cadence named Pride Jam, ISN'T IT?!?

  • @BlackSpeakersOhYeah

    uhhhhh..... no. lol its a Blue Devs cadence from back in the mid nineties, but nice try ha ha maybe this pride jam you speak of is a re do of this :-p

  • daaaaaamnnnnnnn

  • Hey man.. I just thought I would say.. make sure you try really hard to hit close to the rim so you get the high ringing and it doesn't sound dead

  • @A7Xblood

    yea dude when i was in high school my playing zones were effed. lol thanks though

  • @MusicisMYlife210 Hey can you send me the link to the sheet music for dick... I need it for a full drumline

  • @MusicisMYlife210 very nice! love it. Can you send me the music sheet? :)

  • That was pretty good! The rolls seemed to hit the rims alot but I do that too so no big

  • Nice Bro!! Dick is my schools cadence but it's our version of it! Are main one is called Stolen Goods which is awesome! Nice work!

  • 0:42-1:17 = beastality

  • whoa!!!!!! you were actually rivals with north lincoln...we wish

  • Ahhhh my school played this for my 9th and 10th grade drumline! Way to go (:

  • Mad skills :)

  • Hey I just started playing the quints, any tips?

  • Dude I wouldn't have even recognized you if you didn't say your name

  • Comment removed

  • any one send me dick music?

  • Holy shit donny you were a freakin beast in highschool man those are some mean chops to say you were so much younger

  • Great job! I think that since your tenors aren't all level is the only reason you were hitting a bunch a rim, keep it up!

  • 0:38 hella tricked us. why did you start on the left drum

  • Thanks so much. I say that cuz when I first joined drumline my friends kept playing that cadencs and I didn't know what the hell it was. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle! GI JOE!

    My bad, I had to.

  • Well i was wondering when you play on snare for drumline your hands are different from each other (left) i am thinkin its different for the tenors but i dont know is it because of the drumsticks you use ( mallet watever)

    Thanks just clearing some stuff up

  • @Nightfirewolf1 You are referring to playing traditional grip on snare as opposed to matched grip which is used in this video. Tenors aren't designed to be played traditional grip. Traditional grip comes from the ancient Roman times where the Romans marched drums in their army. The rims were an 1" high from the head and the drum was slung on the left leg making it difficult to play matched so traditional grip was invented to make it possible to play the drum.

  • you have some nice chops dude. the thing i reccommend is that you focus on the smaller details and technique stuff. i guarantee that that will make you a better player in the long run, and make stuff like tough exercises a lot easier. nice job though.

  • ok thats really good in my opinion but just one question why is the cadence called dick?

  • Dick is AWESOME!

  • the part at 0:42 was freaking awesome dude

  • daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang bro u good

  • great dude ^_^..!

  • how many of the people leaving comments even play tenor?

  • Hey I just started to take tenor lessons last week, and I am looking to try out for band this may. I was wondering if you think it would be a good idea to purchase my own set of quads, if so what brand would you recommend?

    Thanks

  • You should do DCI

  • Nice

  • i love ur cadence very good i loved it

  • we played that in high school....that was the most fun I ever had on drum line playing that cadence. great job.

  • i like the stick trick in there that was cool

  • Pretty awesome, hope you made whatever you were trying out for. It might have been the video quality, but the only thing that got me in this video was the spock's tuning.

  • i didnt realize how hard this was until i tried to play it, can u send me the music

  • are those Shallow or Regular? the Tenors

  • so fucking amazing dude!! i hope when i go to high school i can play tenors. i just recently played them for my middle school when we preformed at a high school pre game, and i love them!!!

  • Really nice playing, what flew by your head at 1:08 haha?

  • @16drumgirl thanks :)

    do you know how to find music for the bd cadence too?

  • Really great playing. Where'd you find the sheet music for that?

  • @overmind232 this website has sitck control.

    mssu(dot)edu

    hope that helped! :)

  • @16drumgirl i couldnt find it with that site  :/

  • @overmind232 if you scroll down to the bottom of the page and search stick control its the first thing that pops up. actually i looked at it again and i realized that its not the same thing lol. i'm still looking for the other cadence... :(

  • @16drumgirl Oh ok thanks :)

  • 12 ticks

  • @drumer363 Howay for counting! Good job, I'm sure this comment both proves your extreme knowledge of drumming and will help him out in the future..oh wait..nope..you're just a douche.

  • @drumer363 i find this hilarious

  • Cool. So how did it go? Did you get accepted that summer? Or any summer following?

  • umm... did he just say dick?? lol

  • That was great!! :D

  • I liked it fursure

  • does anyone have music for dick? i cant find it D:<

  • @travioli48 me

  • @Jpat5991 can you get it to me?

  • Epic WIN!

  • WHERE CAN I GET SHEET MUSIC TO DICK????????

  • I have the same quads at my school, they're pretty sweet

  • wait did he say dick???? lol

    

  • looks and sounds good bro

  • that was a fairly good performance of dick, i have heard a lot of people try to play it and it has always turned out a cluster fuck, but that was pretty definative.

  • did you say thick or dick i couldnt hear

  • @skorpionfart Dick.. lmao!!

  • its called dick?

  • @ahoybeanerboy93 lmao !! Yep..

  • props man people dont trealize how hard it is to not look down at ur drums while ur playin

    

  • Hey man! Nice chops! I graduated from Cherryville HS in 00 and marched tenor 00, snare 01-03 at WCU . I went to WCU with Dustin Stamey (i think he's your director). I was randomly checkin out some drummers and saw this, keep it up!

  • nice job. the vid's sped up a bit, but your technique is solid. some of your diddles are crushed, and the attacks occasionally off - but besides that its great

  • @Chopslord

    the vid's not sped up?

  • @Chopslord the video is definitly not sped up at all, just saying.

    

  • Woww.. Im starting my first year on quads ^-^ Haha. Hope to be this good :DDD

  • Thanks for posting this man, this cadence is sick and I can't find it anywhere. You play it pretty nicely btw. I'm trying to copy it visually now since I can't find the damn sheet music lol. Hopefully I can be as good as this by second semester or Junior year. It's gonna be my first year on the tenor line this year so yeah. Anyways keep it up.

  • that was good. just the tuning sucks....

  • Nice job!

  • @DanReed94

    yes diddles should be controlled..but... for slow tempos yes you use wrist to strroke out doubles, but when playing at faster tempos think of your double stroke only being 1 actual stroke. let the drum do the work for you, throw the stick with velocity, and use fingers when playing fast tempos

  • try using evans heads...and tuning the heads especially the spock...its weird but there are too many diddles even for tenors...if youre gonna make a beat, dont do that and out of nowhere throw some random ass fuck shit in...kinda work into it...and yea

  • nice sweeps

  • nigga wat u mean u not perfect nigga u da SHIT

  • u know the line technique, just having one line to make it easy on ur arms, is it a required technique? cuz i just hate it, i wish it was never a technique, and just imagine this, im gona be the tenor marcher next year at my school.

  • I'm a section leader, and i wish i was that good. Haha, have you thought about going into drum core?

  • Sweet, I liked it. What pieces are you playing in this? 

  • watch where you are hitting cuz they are sometimes in the middle and they are supposed to be in line across the drums but otherwise good job

  • Weatherking clear heads??...thats what my school uses

  • stick flip at 0:38 was pretty nifty

  • Donnie you suck maybe you should go back to bass and split something.

    LOL. Congrats on making the tenor line at WCU Im gonna miss splitting with you. In case you haven't realized this yet its Chris. I just wanted to comment because this always shows up in my recommended section.

  • Donnie you suck maybe you should go back to bass and split something.

    LOL. Congrats on making the tenor line at WCU Im gonna miss splitting with you. In case you haven't realized this yet its Chris. I just wanted to comment because this always shows up in my recommended section.

  • Will you be auditioning for any corps when you are out of high school?

  • amazing to mee

  • Great job, dude. Watch the rims.

  • good job on dick! by any chance do you stil have the music??

  • To closekr007....

    Thanks bro, I actually go to WCU so a few of us go there, Im only a freshman, but next year Im striving to make their tenor line, and trust me lol I have gotten a ton better that this lol, but thanks for watching and commenting :-)

  • @MusicisMYlife210 man you NEED TO go to Prairie View, get funky with them boys on them thangs, man you'd be a coooooold ass freshmen....keep on shitttin' on them boys with those callouts, naw but but seriously you would be raw intense at PVAMU

  • @MusicisMYlife210

  • @MusicisMYlife210 haha Donnie dude you had long hair? I didn't recognize you until you spoke.

  • sounded pretty good dude. I use to play tenors myself. I miss it. I was with Spirit, would have kept going, but then life played a role on me leaving. Oh well, hope all is going well with your playing. once a tenor drummer, always a tenor drum I always say.

  • Awesome solo! Sounds really popcornish and cool, great job!

  • At 1:18 it sounds similar to the crazy army! Nice solo overall. GJ

  • that was really good. Thats better than most of our tenors

  • where did you get the sheet music for dick?

  • ok, here's a tip, when doing auditions, mark time when you do it. then the know that your are in time with what you play and you'll get a better chance of getting in

  • lol i love how the band asked my brother to join he didnt even have to auditon.

  • i like the warm up stick control.

  • awesome! someone said the word "dick" in the all american audition! I am auditioning for the madison scouts and the all american band on trpt and mello, good job! did you make it?

  • Does anyone have the tenor music for Dick?

  • if someone has music for the BD peace and is willing to toss it my way it would be absolutly amazing

  • sweet.

    i liked that stick control warm up.

    my school has a version of it too

  • That was beautiful I would just make the suggestion of playing lower and keep your fingers on the stick. Also are there any advantages to playing french grip? (real question)

  • nice...but y is there a stool there??

  • the tenor stand i was using was really....REALLY shitty lol and then drums would sag down at an angle, so the stool was placed right under the front so it would hold them level, without distorting the sound, but the drums sound like crap any ha ha i just posted some more vids if you want to check them, definatly more interesting stuff than this ha ha

    Peace and Love,

    DMS

  • @MusicisMYlife210 Lol those tenors sound awsome compared to the ones my school has

  • good expect for ticks every measure or so

  • wow that was swett.. u actually made me wanna play dick... lol thats hilarious

  • dude, that was so AWesomE!!! i have played tenors for forever!!!  your crossovers were perfect and it made me so happy listening to that! thank you!

  • that is awesome! i rlly wanna play tenors in this coming season so thanks for the hope:)

  • Poo

  • very nice my friend u are so good at tenors, good technique, I wish we had tenor players like u at our highschool

  • nice hand over hand crossovers and sweeps.

  • Comment removed

  • very nice stick controll nice execution on the tricks and playing spors u sir would definatly make it into some dci corp if u havent already

  • whre can i get music for dick

  • look down ur pants LOL

  • wow dude really? he's just asking a question there wasn't a reason in that, real mature.

    and yea Gribbs is right Ditty was an on field from about 95-96 to 99, but they still play it and actually remixed it, but Dick was an old cadence they played in 95, i just wish i had a recording of it ha ha thanks for the comments ;-]

  • @mtm0616 i actually think it's called Ditty

  • no, that was Dick. it was BDs cadence in 95. ditty was their on field warm-up in like 99ish?

  • hey the cadets didnt play dick in 95 lol. meaning behind the title.

  • do you have hard copy of that warm up? that sounds awesome and its the type of warm up i would like. if you do have it i would love to have a copy. thanks

  • pretty cool

  • dick sounds awful

  • your rims sound really good.

    you need to loosen up and open your diddles. bring out the second diddles.

    play some 16th notes to a metronome.

  • decent for a jr high player. keep it up and you'll be great someday.
