They sound almost similar to me, but yeah that was a bad second clip. Someone wanted to make this comparison easy because it way better clips out there. Trust. GO NSU

@getitboont

hey hey hey... I thought it was a good comparison. I'm not biased to either side. Just posted this video mainly as a comparison of style and execution between two different bands on the same arrangement of a song.

I'm likin' the feedback its getting so far. Thanks yall.

Yes there was for NSU. I can't seem to find a recording with the fanfare anywhere.

@PHSMustangSAXPlayer Hang overs are somewhat of a Sonic BOOM signature, Trumpfunk been doing it for years I know since the 80's when I marched.

How is this a bad clip of NSU? I like both recordings. Jackson State gives me a little bit more of everything. NSU's is no slouch at all, unfortunately in comparison to Jackson's trumpets they (NSU) don't have the presence that Jackson does.

waaay too many hangovers from those screamers from JSU... but the rest was clean. just wish i could get more from the Mellos.. and it sounded like JSU was in a studio and NSU was outside... NSU's mellos were giving a little too much on the lower end and trumpets got overshadowed when they had the melody... i'd give this to NSU tho... very clean... very understandable
