Swiss Army Drums FANTASTIC !!!!!

[jaog00jaog]

the Swiss Army was creat about 1380, and the soldiers winn their life as mercenary for the European Lord. In this time this army was considered as the most dangerous of Europe. Because they have only two way : winn or die. And they never make prisoners. the swiss soldiers was the protection of the France Kings, and since 500 years of the Pope in the Vatican. No the waris different, no more body contact. American army have only 200 years. It's better to learn history than write bullshit.

[jatsatsang]

Danke schwiez.

[MaenINoldo]

This is the "Swiss top secret drum corps" from Basel, switzerland during the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Swiss army.

[Vivaswaq]

Chuck Norris can do this by tapping his fingers.

[telhacerta]

Dude, I cried tears of happiness.

[mendozacheers]

The Swiss knife should come with a set of drumsticks

[Winella1]

wowww uuuhuäre geiiiiil !!!

[veliss1000]

where is that??????????

[oOCareOo]

swiss precision ;)

[58jf59]

Absolutely fantastic

[GastricPigeon]

These guys are unreal. How are they able to slow down and speed up in perfect unison like that? And how can they keep time while having a sword battle? I find it hard enough to keep time while marching. Ugh, this video makes me feel like a total fail at life :P

[simpl51]

@GastricPigeon You should come and see the carnival, February 27-29th, the streets of Basel are full of thousands like this, in fancy dress. Try the drums out, too - they have no bounce, so drummers learn full wrist control. That partly answers your question, the rest comes with plenty of practice.

[bitcodex]

@GastricPigeon they use Swiss clocks

[defuego121]

@taotao a simple answer. neutral

[thegaimkiller]

suiss power :D

[Dhavidhek]

[anestatelus]

Leute das ist die Gruppe Top Secret und hat nichts mit der Schweizer Armee zu tun.

[corakslayer]

Unless I'm mistaken they're not an army corps...they're a non professional (amateur) group

[ancientwell]

@corakslayer You're right. This isn't an army unit. They're the Top Secret Drum Corps from Basel, Switzerland. 

[f1471in3r]

@corakslayer yup, these cats all have day jobs. I'm even more impressed.

[Puzzoozoo]

I wonder how much practice was involved beyond an awful lot.

[Spacesqurreil95]

Nothing to do with the Swiss army, though.

[rapido28]

FYI: these guys have nothing to do with the swiss army. They are swiss, but their group is privately organized

[RikDumez]

@rapido28

Everyone of Swiss is member of the Swiss Army... don't forget that...

The rifles they got on their military duty are still their own !!!

(the answer why Swiss is mostly stayed neutral during war)

grtz

[drot525]

@RikDumez

So what? It doesn't make this a military drum corps. It's okay to be wrong on the internet, no one is hurt.

[drot525]

@rapido28

Correct, this is Top Secret out of Basel Switzerland. Not military anything. Day jobbers, with a percussion addiction.

[jmbenny63]

Awesome!

Take care,

mrbluenun

[blowupuate13]

@TheJohnsonjerry yes the Swiss have a very good army!!! One of the best armies in fact!

[IchiDeux]

@blowupuate13

"One of the best armies in fact" ??

how do you figure when they weren't involved in any recent wars?

[seidenbaum1]

@IchiDeux

The swiss army is the most cunning army i know... They don't have to fight in a stupid war. Switzerland as aggressive as other armies

[Azishome]

Very nice performance: some drama, some comedy and a lot of seriousness of purpose.

[TheJohnsonjerry]

The Swiss don't have an army these guys are just drummers

[olicioduarte]

esses caras ñ estão puros ñ !!! lindo d++++

[Watterpolo]

but this is the top secret drum corps thisä isnt from the army they are al civilians

[selketskiss56]

oooh Swiss drummers gives me a chill up my spine they are so hot

[mrtangerine999]

Switzerland has an army?

[em4rulz]

@mrtangerine999 Where do you think Swiss Army knives come from?

[fizzelgizzel]

@mrtangerine999 Are u kidding, dude?

The pope´s body guards are all Swiss. And they are hell good trained soldiers.

[fizzelgizzel]

@mrtangerine999 Are u kidding, dude?;-)

The pope´s body guards are all Swiss. And they are hell good trained soldiers.

They are recruited from the army of Switzerland.

[sg94er]

@mrtangerine999 ??? Certainly we have an army!!!!!

[Bud42Gent]

I could watch that kind of performance over and over ,,, all day long !! Amazing discipline !!

[AClumsySheep]

the TSDC is not actually part of the Swiss Army - though many have probably served as a drummer in the various Bands of the Swiss Army.

[brandanAwest]

their little tricks: with the flags in the rotating formation, or the sword fights... very original; at least, I've never seen anyone else do that. They're very good! Awesome!

[alacos8]

Basel, a town in Switzerland, has a long tradition in drumming. In 1990 they formed this corps and invented a new style by adapting also parts of Scottish and American drumming.

[alacos8]

a wonderful performance

[MsgtRowan420497]

Holy fucking shit.

[LastODSTStanding]

Wait! Who's protecting the Pope!? :O

[sylviekell]

That's Top Secret Drum Corps, not the Swiss Army. These guys all have day jobs, and belong to this drum corps.

[EmilyEstelle82]

do you mean... neutral? And just because they choose to keep mostly to their own affairs doesn't mean they wouldn't have a military. :) Even countries who wish to remain neutral have some sort of military to protect themselves.

[mathewcolfardrums]

isn't the swiss army natural ?

[SixFootBabyStudios]

@GiuseppeBaratta94 "Perhaps because of their 18th Century uniforms and precision work, the Corps is often referred to as a military band or a part of the Swiss Army, but it is not affiliated with any military unit." -Wikipedia

[JeremyP999999]

For you morons who think Switzerland doesn't have an army, military service is mandatory, and most citizens are trained to shoot rifles.

[JeremyP999999]

For you morons who think Switzerland doesn't have an army, military service is mandatory, and most citizens are trained to shoot rifles.

[rugbyboydave90]

[adamned89]

@MrShortey411....this group has nothing to do witht the swiss army!! and no..its not their job :)

[adamned89]

[MrShortey411]

The swiss army is in Swisterland (or however u spell it ) and they are yes the drum corps of that part of the swiss army and thats their job

[ZounaaS]

What swiss army? lol fucking bullshit, this is a JOKE nothing to do with army. cool drums tho.

[msx78]

actually they don't have anything to do with the swiss army... they all have normal dayjobs and they do this just as a "hobby"! in fact the swiss army don't even have a professional drum corps!

[TehNagiKing]

@msx78

Thats not rly true. The Swiss Army also have a Drum Corps but way more traditional Sounds then Top Secret. The Army Drum Corps is stationed in Aarau.

The most drummer of Top Secret are Members of some Basler Carneval Groups.

greetings from Basel

[SoulKittyKat]

[Soleiila]

[Soleiila]

Fascinant :-)

[DreRS]

@Landser191 Die Bundeswehr hat rein garnichts mit derartigen Showeinlagen zu tun. Das ist ein ziviles Corp, die Bundeswehr ein militärisches und hat halt deutsche Traditionen. Du vergleichst Äpfel mit Birnen

[Landser191]

davon kann sich de deutsche bundewehr ne scheibe abschneiden....

[jethro035181]

for an encore, they should do this on unicycles, while juggling some oranges...

[jylsk]

[lorofcb2]

@genericuser192 they are actually NOT part of the army

[JuiceNuggetz]

this is actually Top Secret Drum Corps not Swiss Army

[jordanclimb]

WOW!!!  Tip of the Top

[cuchullynn]

Hate to spoil it for you army people... Nothing to do with army. This is the Top Secret Drum Clique, a carnival style drumline from Basilea... They are swiss, though!

[remowo]

@cuchullynn even better they have nothing to do with the army ... i hate armies and weapons... ;)

[Xarcas]

@remowo gotta love the irony though :)

I long for a world where pacifism is a solution and not a symptom.

Either way they rock ..! :)

[jtnoodle]

@Xarcas pacifism is only an option as long as other people are willing to remove the threat so that you can practice your pacifism in freedom. Kinda like saying you hate the police, yet you enjoy living in the peace that they protect so you can walk down the street without regular fear of being attacked. Now apply that to predator nations vs. nations that will fight back against attacks and you will understand why the Swiss can stay "neutral".

No charge for that by the way.

[jtnoodle]

@remowo Good. More for those of us that have to protect those of you that think weapons aren't necessary for defending against aggression.

[remowo]

@jtnoodle Aggression brings aggression my friend ...and I believe you know that.

That's why humans try to evolve ... to quit weapons and armies and aggression...

Do you really see a future in wars and fear?!

I would be more than happy to discuss with you than fight over ideologies.

[matthewkneff]

Dennis DeLucia Lives! Really reminds me of The Bayonne Bridgemen.

[commandandconq3]

[MrSwedenify]

[Fughal]

[droeze]

Voor wie van zwitserland houdt....

[poolmisterio]

[Entlaufen]

[higuma75]

They're not army, they're civilians spending their freetime doing nothing else but drumming. They are, however, absofuckinglutely EPIC.

[meanmanturbo]

@higuma75 Well, technicaly speaking, the way the swiss army works they are most probably all army reservists;)

[vdhyannick1]

This is not an army band!!!

They are students, bakers, teechers or wat ever els...

They are just fantastic!!!

[kareljuwet]

2:27 now that's a drum roll :)

[mercenaryassault]
