[sniggitydebo]

Lmaooooo @austineeatsbagels

[austineatsbagels]

[bindingflame1]

Huh. I thiink i hear dick in a box at 1:30, but im not too sure

[oesdoob]

Yes. finally a video with ALL the audio up. thank thank thank you!!! <3

[scarbotr]

Did Matt Bowers march X in 2008 as well?

[drewrummeldrummer]

@scarbotr yes

[unamedandunknown]

@scarbotr Yes he did.

[cowzilla8]

So much creativity........

[TheRippdogg]

matt bowers FTW

[amanmadeofdrums]

@synGaTes212

Whats wrong with playing Kit?

[Hannahlovesband]

Seeing this show as a freshman honestly changed my life. I'm trying out for x in a year, wish me luck!

[hellomanhowareyou]

it's funny that people "troll" these videos of people doing SOMETHING, not to mention one of the most mentally and physically demanding performing arts in the world right now. you're all at home sitting on your asses playing x box. go fuck yourself, and smoke another bowl while we progress in life and do badass shit that shreds apart every ounce of success you ever thought you had.

[DrummerCoCa]

I love this show...unfortunately, I wasn't into WGI in 2008. But wow, great show!

[BuzAllDay]

perfect.

[ZXROMEO]

I thought drummers were suppose to be badass not fudge packers

[crazyjared2]

@ZXROMEO show us something better that you've done.

[burtenheimer]

Real drummers don't dance, it's just that simple. Seems rudimental drumming has been feminized, most likely the origin of such feminization is from Scott Johnson and the "Blue Devil Dancing Sissies". This is very disturbing but not surprising as the American culture is being overtaken by the Feminist and Socialist

[beevolution]

@burtenheimer This comment makes no sense.

[amoremorte6166]

@burtenheimer it's called drumline. It's been done for years. Do some homework before you try to make a sterotyped comment. Ridiculous.

[synGaTes212]

@burtenheimer YR A RITARD GO PLAY A DRUMKIT

[kelsbannon]

@burtenheimer lmfao, i think youre just jealous that you suck at everything, and you decide to take it out on something this amazing.dumbass

[asoccer125]

@burtenheimer Someone didn't get their sandamawhich.

Great Show by X

[symphonyarctica]

Haha, way to screw up the body in the front of the form, Akira

[deadpuppys777]

BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

[flammaster]

I liked it up until the singing started. I am turning it off now!

[ikarooz]

I'll say it again.... O M G

[xBiGTxLPZx]

very nice

[oldschooldrumcorps]

I've been involved with drum corps for over thirty years as a corps member, and a fan, and I never knew drumlines competed in WGI. I've been away from the activity for a few minutes, and I am totally blown away with this performance. It really shows what a drumline can do. next to this, field shows are a bit boring!!!!

[gameplay0]

you think if i copied this theme. would people notice?

[drumdude91123]

@gameplay0 yes

[Gazeboism]

the short asian marimba player on the far left at 6:55 definitly played for BD in 09. idk about 08 though.

[TehBeatMasta]

@Gazeboism yeah did you see him in blue smoke 09 too?

[Gazeboism]

no i but i wouldnt doubt it

[Winterpercussion]

awesome

[CSkank]

Easily the best part of this show, is not how well the batterie plays, or any of that. Don't get me wrong, the batterie is amazing, but the sweetest part of this show is HANDS DOWN is:

4:22-4:36

[skater090001]

@CSkank YES. amazing control and amazing that kept it together in that huge space

[jeffreythedrumma]

Such a great year for Rhythm X. This was definitely one of the better shows over the past few years in my opinion.

[EverythingsPerfect37]

that was so amazing. My breath was taken away from this the first time. :)

[irishknightt]

clever colour implementations

[extraveler1]

5:09 just crazy...

[Palavalve]

Damn. 4:20 gets me every single time.

[shadeL96]

these guys are good but i will always be an OPT fan

[percussionfreak345]

no no, you ment to say these guys are amazing right?

[KingsDruhmlyneJB]

what's the name of the song they used at 6:12 ?

[DreamEpiarch]

dreaming with a broken heart by john mayer

[wheelz482]

"Dreaming With A broken Heart" by John Mayer

[Winterpercussion]

always my favorite show

[lovesdrumsalot]

i love the bass drums

[FaustAndrea]

Seeing this live at Finals was AMAZING! Rhythm X is definitely my favorite line.

[lildrummerboy2014]

@FaustAndrea We bought their mat from that year... we used it and this year we got number 1 in the state in our class

[Pikachu24]

Theres a whole history on WGI started off just being for cologuard but then later they added percussion in the arts which turned out really succesfully . Its not ODD its WGI :)

[Piechickenman]

uh, its indoor drumline. its part visual, part music.

[StringsofMartyr]

Why is it not music?

[ItzBigidy]

the basses feet on their "Gone" solo are messy.

[KDewey92]

holy crap! nice job pit

[a53mp]

middle bass is a tick

[magictoots]

wat do u mean?

[KingsDruhmlyneJB]

don't be hatin on Thomas Sparling

[drummerkidder]

Stick flip at 0:49

[Ellusionist15]

Did that tenor mess up at 0:34 ?¿

[terranspawn7]

The year of gone... i was in long beach indoor percussion theater...

[terranspawn7]

I played in exabition with rythm x.. never really been a fan but hands down this year they deserved the gold,,

[GodofToiletPaper]

This current year, or Gone?

[XfaCTor94]

when he say this, he is talking bout the video,

[michfan95]

i hate these guys with a passion. just cuz they have a good line doesnt give them right to be assholes and rcc shoulda won their show was much better and the floor drapery and back of their costumes look like thrown up pizza. X fucking sucks

[ccarrier]

If you ever actually talked to anyone in X you'd realize how nice and laid back they are.

[santiman44]

i feel ya brother

[wipeproductions]

ithese guys are cool, but I liked aimachi better

[DuBoisBand]

what is the melody at 1:17... it sounds so familiar...

thanks!

[cyborgsi]

Dudes - we don't have this in England - I've just watched it and you guys totally RULE!! how the hell long did that take to rehearse???!!

[BlueDevsSnare]

Months...

[rodarc]

There are acutally indoor drumlines in England. Vintage and Legion Star among others. The Senators DBC drumline had an indoor show two years ago.

[cyborgsi]

Ok - I take that back - it's just I'd never heard of this style until I saw this completely awesome clip! will check it out...!

[pkmnnrd4evr]

the japanese do it. i guess england can too.

[RichardBangsOnASnare]

I believe you mean Music City Mistake? I wish I could be in that group this year and wear those sweet hoods. Hopefully they won't choke at finals and not medal like last years. Good thing Aimachi isn't coming out. LOLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sieffadiddle]

Poor Rythem X... Trailing Music City Mystique by like a point or something...'Touch' is pretty cool this year though, but the beginning is creepy. lol

[KingsDruhmlyneJB]

the beginning was awesome

[kevtec90]

this video makes me want to throw up, and quit playing drums.

[snaremstr08]

our first year and first competition was at central crossing early in 08s show year we had a higher overall score than Rhythm X so we were always like, "Remember when we beat Rhythm X?"

[hotfreezer14L]

well just have to see about that

[sebastianknowsbest]

they were royally screwed last year, and i can't wait to see them kick the shit out of everyone this weekend

[IndoorPanda]

How were they screwed? they won the championship

[hotfreezer14L]

if youll read the stuff before, youll see that they only won because matrix was in europe. who did they beat who was any good? elements? were they even there? i dont remember, because i was performing, not watching.

[IndoorPanda]

sorry, i think we were on different subjects...

[sebastianknowsbest]

If you're talking about some other drumline from northern Ohio, you're completely correct.

[hotfreezer14L]

i was, of course, referring to matrix. who is exponentially better than rhythm x

[TommyDelicious]

exponentially better? matrix 08 wouldn't have "touched" RX 08.

[hotfreezer14L]

the only reason they won was because anyone who was any good in the area was in belgium during this.

[drumsinagymFAN]

Sombody from my school told me the same thing

[HotPotatoFever]

It was because of Rhythm X that I was last cut to Bluecoats bass line this year. The Rhythm X bass tech had his favorites and didn't pay any attention to how well my timing was but instead looked at the fact that I hadn't marched corps before. The Bluecoats bass line is going to suffer this year.

[Ridebmx34521]

welcome to dci/wgi people do favors for others and pick experience over talent all the time.

[HotPotatoFever]

It's cool, I made Crossmen last year and now I'm trying out for Coats again. Welcome me to the Bluecoats.

[glawker23]

No, he's the BEST. We'll just have to see what happens this season. RX beats mystique and it's called.

[Snarebeets]

McM is way better than X this year. Justin Lewis is a fucking asshole.

[Ellusionist15]

Why is Justin lewis an a*s

[yeahyeahyeahyeahya]

Who is that?

[Ellusionist15]

He was center snare for Mcm and The bluecoats 08

[yeahyeahyeahyeahya]

Ok that's who I though it was. I just didn't get how he's an asshole lol

[Ellusionist15]

If you knew him In person, you'd know what I'm talking about.

[yeahyeahyeahyeahya]

Is he cocky?

[AlfredFinkelstein]

That is an outrageous statment. Justin is pretty good, but he is not the best by any means.

[glawker23]

Who the hell is Drew? And NO ONE is better than Justin Lewis.

[Snarebeets]

Drew Guy marches a McM. Know your facts before you start talking shit.

[glawker23]

Bluecoats won't be the same without Justin

[phobass]

They still have Drew, who is better than Justin.

[AlfredFinkelstein]

Tim Jackson sure knows how to write some notes. Cant wait to see RX this year and Bluecoats the upcomming years.

[Byers2008]

Does anyone know how many people in RX 09' also march or have marched Bluecoats?

[phobass]

Niles, Justin, Bryan, Aaron, Kevin

[diabeticcyborg]

and Wayne

[omgwtfjay]

thats one hell of a color for the tenors.

[vivi7676]

4:23-4:36

I don't think many people understand how musically demanding that part is....After seeing them nail those cold hits, I was sold.

[KanCer08]

agreed, cold attacks like that are demanding for sure

[WGIfan]

yeah i know. when i saw them at nashville, my entire drumline freaked out. it was awesome

[rockthehouse23]

thats the same gym where our MSBOA was

[ryaneaton94]

isnt this the group that andrew markworth directs?

[Aaronsucksatdrums]

yes

[muchogood]

The one thing I miss about band since I quit, Winter Drumline... I saw this show last year.. I'm hoping to get to go to atleast one comp this year.. I want another Rhythm X Shirt.. ;)

[PainWds]

now when you say "quit" do you mean you graduated? or you .... quit...

[muchogood]

I quit, it got boring after a couple years of doing pretty much the same stuff.

I just miss drumline..

[SorasNobody88]

My favorite part is the Shadows that are created!!!

Lol, i bought this dvd

[MQRED011]

Wow! Great show. Everyone i was with freaked wen the took off their tenors!!! Wish our dl would do that...

[SuperAsian77]

What brand of Vibes do you use?

[neversumer15]

who gives a shit?!

[renee275275]

Intense!! this is sweet

[deepfriedbobby]

it's so weird hearing the justin timberlake song in there about 2 minutes in, because on the wgi 2008 finals dvd that part got muted due to copyright problems. it sounds really awesome :D

[frackernacker]

4:42 was frickin nice!

[UnderCoverDrummer11]

whats the last song ?

[arlene195192]

so amazing! =D

[WGIfan]

1:44 is SO badass

[mrdrumline10]

i play tenors pearl high school(MS) and the guy that works with the basses and helps wright drill for rhythem x is wrighting our drill this year for indoor!! its so awesome

[iambiglucas]

the first part of their show is almost at 220 bpm -_-

[KingsDruhmlyneJB]

or 186.

[Boonyakieat]

think its a little bit faster. like 192

[DforDrums]

Gah, that show is so incredibly effective.

[musicsportsboy97]

HOLY CRAP!!!!!

[deviantdrums]

where is Rythem X from?

[dcicavaliers220]

Columbus, Ohio

[goVINCE]

woah they changed the ending at finals!!?

[RockMcNeal]

When Was this show A C-Ville, and how come I didn't know about it?

[drummerx1]

the bald tenor player is blind, their vibe player told me.

[Aaronsucksatdrums]

he is like 80% blind. he can see shapes.

[mydrumsarebetter]

His name is Matt Bowers, and he won the DCI I&E for 2008. He's the shit.

[ChrisDaKineVids]

and hes nearly blind. What an inspiration. lol

[alildrumhappy]

Didnt he march Cadets?

[goVINCE]

blue devils 07 & 08

[DrummTrip44]

yea, he marched cadets in 06

[dguglielmo]

OMG DROOLS!!

[Limabean231]

The bass guitar player marched saxophone in my high school

[BSaxguy]

i sure did....lol

[mylesLFH10]

This show is pretty B.A.. I was in McM this past year, and definitely must say congrats on very deserved win!!! See ya next year!

[iforget5]

Why do they cut out the second song in the dvd? I know its copyright infringement supposively but what song is it?

[BSaxguy]

'Gone' by NsYNC

[NtwProductionsDrums]

Amazing show. So much better than the previous year's.

[TrueMenDontKillCoyot]

CHS!

[roostersnlollipops]

i fucking love this! haley and byron are my idols! aimachi sucks sweaty donkey ass! words cant discrobe how muck i love you guys! i screamed soooo loud! i got byron lewis's autograph! yippie! im only on 8th grade and i am the biggest drumline fan out there! what the show for next year?

[g3rmm33tsworld]

"touch" is the 2009 show

[rusiriouse]

this show is the sh*t, and my favorite of all time; another good show was momentum percussion theatre in 04 ( i don't think the video is on youtube though ) if you do get to see it, the snare break will make you piss your pants.

and might i add another thing: if you're an RCC fan i really hope you don't base your opinion on this years show cuz it wasn't that good; now in 05 and 06 they (RCC) were the sh*t and deserved to win in 06 but this year RX was to damn good.

[shoshodem]

rhythm x...more like gay man sex? amiright?

[Dralisite]

Yea you right man

[zombiefriend]

OH SHI-

[yeahbass]

youre an idiot.

[drumcorpsgirl1991]

yeah my pit instructor was a marimba player in this show.. and he said when they got the dvd back and figured out WGI muted alot of there show they were pissed.

[i8apizza]

Two of the tenor players here placed 1st & 3rd at DCI I & E 2008

[DeathYell]

it sucks that they didn't have copy rights to the song

now the WGI DVD has rhythm X muted for like half the song

[rockportpisser]

where do u get wgi dvd's??

and what do u mean mutedd??

[P3rcuss10n]

Muted- of low intensity and reduced volume; softened

[ARZiehm]

lol if it weren't for the uniforms, i wouldn't have enjoyed it so much...that show is sick

[bltsponge]

I know. The visual part of the show was so out there, and it worked so well.
