Jim Casella's and his team do an amazing job at writing. It is SO under appreciated in my opinion. It is great to listen to and a BLAST to play one of his books!!
Finally...I was at this lot and I was so relieved when I heard them. These videos don't do much justice...the book this year is freaking nice. So musical.
You're actually correct albeit unintentially. The drumline is not taking their tempo from the drum major. The drum major is taking his tempo from the drumline so he can in turn give direction to the rest of the corps.
Took me bloody forever to figure out what they were playing, but I finally learned the snare part for this whole drum break, just from watching this video... and it's AWESOME.
This is one of the most disciplined set of drumers i have ever seen, i have been in a few competitions, but no one has come close to the amount of discipline i see here.
This was one of my absolute favorite Cavalier shows. Too bad it didn't really get the publicity and credit that it deserved. This show was WELL put together and I was AT finals night, and many of us thought that the Cavaliers WON that year. Watching this was like watching a movie at the movie theater. It had plenty of suspense and action. The Cavaliers DID take us deep into ancient Japan where we could experience the ancient culture of back then!!! It was a history lesson with Asian aethetics. Phantom Regiment Spatans show was great and unforgetable too (with classic Drum Corps) and Phantom was simply super clean, but this Samari show literally had a impact. But, I guess Phantom hadn't won a DCI championship by themselves at the time, so I think that the judges gave it to Phantom. Well, that's still good for Phantom and the kids in that Corps. So, it's all good!. Phantom was still great!
Factual information. I'm no Percussion guru, but I come a family of musicians. One year we watched the movie Drumline and I was beyond impressed. Then my uncle, my dad and his buddies pretty much said, "You thought that was good? Watch this." And they pulled up this clip. Now I've watched a lot of drum breaks in between 2008 and now (2020), none felt as legendary as this PRACTICE...
oh hell yeah dude i got to watch them warm up finals night!! basses one and two had some RIDICULOUS splits that made me whoop out loud. good times. those cats were on point.
the center tenor is also the section leader, for the same reason as the snare, so everyone can listen in to him (or her, him in the cavaliers case). And in case you were wondering, the bass drum 2, the second smallest, is always the bass section leader, and cymbals are kind of random i think.
Random but good rudiments here after the drum break.. snares sound amazing. tenors and basses very solid. but man this doesn't look easy.. gotta love them cavs.
I really like the roll into the singles near 1:38 I've listened to it maybe 25 times today and can't find the transition if I don't watch. The camera not being able to follow the sticks during the singles adds a pretty cool effect.
the center tenor was my indoor instructor and my main drum teacher marched cavies in 2006 and my other instructor was on the 2008 SCV snareline. WE GOT GOOD 0_0
im a tuba, but, man i give such respect to drum lines all over america. drum line kids don't fuck around. playing any of those drums takes skill. and in all honesty, if i was in drumline, i would try bass.
Catchy 1:12-1:27 Bass Solo at 0:45-0:55 is amazing Love the Tenor splits at 1:03-1:10 Snares Sextuplets at 1:27-1:30 is insane Sweet (Clean!) Singles at 1:40-1:43 Cool Visual/Snare Solo at 0:28-0:35
Montgomery High School Drum Line here. I wish we could get together and be serious enough to do this well. hahaha On another note, we got a copy of Spice Mon and we'll be recording it soon, I'll have to send you the vid, loganb :)
High school tenor player here. We watered down the split measure into a tenor solo in Sing Sing Sing, and it's pretty insane. I would've liked to just do this, but it's too freaking hard, even for our tenor line, which is actually pretty good.
love that tenor break.. those drums are so nice. snares have some pretty complicated rythms to sync together as a line. i give them much props. MUSIC PLEASE?!!?!
Your right, I completely forgot about the drum major having to listen to the battery. I remember our instructors would always tell our drum major to listen in on us because battery are time keeping masters. =P Good times.
This stuff is awesome... I hope I get the chance to play in a big line like this someday, at our school we've got three Basses, one Snare, and one set of Tenors (me)
One of those snares is now the assistant for the drum line at our school now. It’s crazy to see how good he is, since he’s not much of a show off, which I respect ngl.
Writing-wise, to me this was the best drum feature that year, hands down... especially when combined with the front ensemble's taiko drums and other Asian percussion instruments.
@pimpchman123 The syncopation of bassdrums is by far the hardest thing to get so a clean bassline such as this is amazing. THe parts may be easier but getting them clean is very hard.
i know that at 0:29 they flip to match for more intensity, but at 0:38 could someone clarify for me if they keep match or go back to traditional for their left hand on those rim taps? thank you so much
13 years later this shit is still so hype!
For our center tenor's audition, he played the tenor break blindfolded on one leg
AYYYiTzMaC That's crazy!
sometimes I listen to this until I fall asleep because it's so beautiful
Zehra Horan Vanwyngarden igual
Jim Casella's and his team do an amazing job at writing. It is SO under appreciated in my opinion. It is great to listen to and a BLAST to play one of his books!!
The transition in the snares from the roll to the singles at 1:38 is amazingly clean and badass...
My favorite break of all time
Still my favorite video of all time
Finally...I was at this lot and I was so relieved when I heard them. These videos don't do much justice...the book this year is freaking nice. So musical.
You're actually correct albeit unintentially. The drumline is not taking their tempo from the drum major. The drum major is taking his tempo from the drumline so he can in turn give direction to the rest of the corps.
Yes, someone gets it!
Tenors must have been starving.. eating the rims like crazy through that lick. :( My favorite feature too.
I hear that!
Hard books
😂 we do get hungry i heard a few ticks. Luv this feature ❤
@@that5oh19not that hard lol. Some scrapes and paradiddles at most
Took me bloody forever to figure out what they were playing, but I finally learned the snare part for this whole drum break, just from watching this video... and it's AWESOME.
This is one of the most disciplined set of drumers i have ever seen, i have been in a few competitions, but no one has come close to the amount of discipline i see here.
Love this, i watch almost everyday never gets old
probably one of the most awesome n sickest drumbreaks of all time!
are those snares ever so slightly tilted...?
Looks like it
The fact that the snares play their rolls during the snare break insanely clean and at 2 inches blows my mind.
i luv this drumbreak! the tenor skank part and snare visuals r soo tasty!!
every time i see this style of drumming i love it
they stayed at my high school when i was in high school, got to see em warm up and play, pretty much a good day
Wow why do i always come back to watching this video every time i watch Drum Corp videos...
Cavaliers are just the best. They just rock!!!

This will forever be my favorite drumline video EVER!!! *Cavies Rule*
The basses was sick and the tenors was awesome hands down one of the best Drumlines I heard
Best video i ever watch on youtube
this was an amazing show
oh hell yeah dude
i got to watch them warm up finals night!!
basses one and two had some RIDICULOUS splits that made me whoop out loud.
good times.
those cats were on point.
Nice work. The Snare and Tenor parts are badass. Cavies FTW!
I love how clearly the quad sound comes through. Gotta love cavies tuning
I almost forgot to watch this today...
If I could favorite this thing a thousand times I would.
This feature, 2008 blue coats, and 2011 cadets were the greatest features.
im so lucky, the tenor captain is the instructor of our drumline
Just wen to DCI yesterday! Cavaliers beasted it, as always.
Can't wait to see the finals.
Holy Drumline! Love it... amazing togetherness on stick heights

Words can't express how freaking crazy this is. Those basses are ballin'
that echo after the last note is so beastly
Random but good rudiments here after the drum break.. snares sound amazing. tenors and basses very solid. but man this doesn't look easy.. gotta love them cavs.
I was that guy in the white shirt
I really like the roll into the singles near 1:38
I've listened to it maybe 25 times today and can't find the transition if I don't watch. The camera not being able to follow the sticks during the singles adds a pretty cool effect.
2008 was a magical year for dci
the center tenor was my indoor instructor and my main drum teacher marched cavies in 2006 and my other instructor was on the 2008 SCV snareline. WE GOT GOOD 0_0
good lord the basses
nightbeat was such a friggen awesome show.
the little snare chunk from 1:23 to 1:32 is SO TASTY
The ninelet at 1:20 is my favorite part
yeah, their drumline is really gonna kick ass this year.
Simply Amazing!
That snare solo made me shiver. I quit... forever...
i fricken love their snares tunings
im a tuba, but, man i give such respect to drum lines all over america. drum line kids don't fuck around. playing any of those drums takes skill. and in all honesty, if i was in drumline, i would try bass.
amazingly awesome!
my brother used to play the snare drum he got to do Frameworks witch has to be my favorite they were bad ass
those were the good old days.
Catchy 1:12-1:27
Bass Solo at 0:45-0:55 is amazing
Love the Tenor splits at 1:03-1:10
Snares Sextuplets at 1:27-1:30 is insane
Sweet (Clean!) Singles at 1:40-1:43
Cool Visual/Snare Solo at 0:28-0:35
i love those singles on the snares at the end.
Montgomery High School Drum Line here. I wish we could get together and be serious enough to do this well. hahaha
On another note, we got a copy of Spice Mon and we'll be recording it soon, I'll have to send you the vid, loganb :)
God I love this.
The last note cracks like a gun shot :D
It's not sped up....they're just AMAZING.
It was Phantom, Cavies were in second, with Bluecoats in third
sick bass splits and tenor/snare visuals
ouu yeahh cavaliers you are the best
High school tenor player here. We watered down the split measure into a tenor solo in Sing Sing Sing, and it's pretty insane. I would've liked to just do this, but it's too freaking hard, even for our tenor line, which is actually pretty good.
@Robertakaryan it sounds like they are warming up for a show and in the background other Corps are performing.
i love the bass prt its so clean
Dope! Love it.
yeah i would have to agree cavs have one of my favorite books this year. Bluecoats are owning it too.
i like this, sounds very good.
love that tenor break.. those drums are so nice. snares have some pretty complicated rythms to sync together as a line. i give them much props. MUSIC PLEASE?!!?!
I can hear MR. Hamilton saying it in my head now
"Ta ta ta ta ta..."
lol
dude same here.
they are really sik when it comes to this!
Your right, I completely forgot about the drum major having to listen to the battery. I remember our instructors would always tell our drum major to listen in on us because battery are time keeping masters. =P Good times.
i dont care who you are or what drumcore your in but if u can play bass...snare or tenors on this level your AMAZING
This stuff is awesome... I hope I get the chance to play in a big line like this someday, at our school we've got three Basses, one Snare, and one set of Tenors (me)
One of those snares is now the assistant for the drum line at our school now. It’s crazy to see how good he is, since he’s not much of a show off, which I respect ngl.
yeah, ive watched a few other vids like this with the cavies and i thought it was just the rim or the side of their drum as well.
badass. the bass run is sick.
goddamn. i hope to play tenors like that someday man
Man the cavies are soo clean.. I like their sticking at 1:21. Very nice.
Writing-wise, to me this was the best drum feature that year, hands down... especially when combined with the front ensemble's taiko drums and other Asian percussion instruments.
holy hell. Amazing.
hey fun fact on this video the middle part of the url spells out 2eZ
ALSO, I love the echo at the end. They play with So much sound
Wow!! Mad Props!!!
those sir, are some fun bass runs =)
5 quads, 7 snares, 5 basses
*drumline haiku*
Tastiest book ever written
@pimpchman123 The syncopation of bassdrums is by far the hardest thing to get so a clean bassline such as this is amazing. THe parts may be easier but getting them clean is very hard.
Anyone know what carriers they were using? They look like they are all custom finishes.
@chutdiggadut1 Plano East Senior High school drumline, his name is Nick Beaudet
@Wowzrrrs Bostons tenor tech is the tech for our tenor line
the singles at the end are insane.
can i have the tenor sheet music to this? it just sounds sick.
i love the snare visual around 1:23
each section was for the most part one sound :)
if my schools bassline could be this good i'd be soooooooooooo happy
the end how they do the drum roll,the into the snare shot,,,,epic,
@Robertakaryan i barely heard that on full blast on my computer. how the hell did u hear that? man...u must have a good speaker system :D
i know that at 0:29 they flip to match for more intensity, but at 0:38 could someone clarify for me if they keep match or go back to traditional for their left hand on those rim taps? thank you so much
@Thatonekyle you have no idea how much i agree with you on this
Cavs are the best hands down
