The comment war is more interesting than the video. I instructed a drum line last year at a school where the kids were expected to play a show band style of drumming. I grew up on corps style drumming so I was a fish out of water. But in the end it worked out well. I brought in a guy who knew how to do all the "dance" stuff and the end result was pretty great, an excellent marriage of intricate precision and choreographed fun. I'm amazed that drum lines don't so it.

glad I learned why HBCUs do the things they do. At JSU the instructor gave us the basic that the drumline is pretty much mimic of a drumset. they move that way to keep time :D Before i thought it was just unskillful but now i see that .. we... these brothas and sistas got SOUL :D
@EF2K7 I have not said anything bad about your style. On the other hand, you have laughed at countless amounts of hours, sweat, blood and tears put in by thousands of people trying to perfect their playing AND MARCHING. You are nothing short of ignorant to say the things you said and assume "no disrespect" would be taken. It's really easy to put down an activity that you don't do or understand.

read and learn you intelligent person...lol. this is the normal setup of an HBCU drumline. the bassline usually has anywhere from 6 to 10 basses. the first 4 or 5 (tonals) provide the splits, and the last 3 to 5 (called flats/drops) are deeper and play the unison part. now imagine how combining the tonal/split line and the unison would enhance the sound and effect of the line! see, if you take time to appreciate our craft you might realize that we're percussionists too, not just drumbeaters
