    Man I remember learning this when I was 15 and everybody in my high school like "Buck no way you learned that and can actually play it" it is true lol. To bad nobody wanted to audition for Blue Devils cuz I always wanted to be one. But happy with my time at SCV

      you'd be very surprised how much the 94 and 95 guys studied and learnt from the previous 3 years SCV. Red or Blue both were great around the 90's

    you know I kind of like how you keep the mistakes in, makes it feel more natural, like a real lesson and less like content to be consumed. great vid

    Helped me work out a few kinks from when I learned this back in high school. I can officially say I truly know it 100% now. Thank you! I'd really love to see you break down Blue Devils Grievous Groove snare part some day.

    Little known fact, this ending is actually the third version from that season. Originally was the ‘82 opener ending, second was played at Concord pavilion but wasn’t played fast enough for Kevin’s liking so he wrote the one that everyone knows that was played all summer.

    I was intimidated by this piece for YEARS, but this made it much easier to learn. I feel exceptionally accomplished this week, as this was my mini-goal. 💪🏼🥁

    8:27 he plays something different from what is written, he moves the accent to the "and" of beat 2, so he basically cuts out the last 2 diddles on beat 2

      Never too old. Get it down really slow. Even if feels crazy slow. Once you can rep it, you will naturally develop the speed.

    Hey mate I really like the videos. I taught in England, with the Mayflower. I teched for Gerald. I marched back in the 80's Suncoast Sound we had Brits in the corps. I really like the videos. haven't played ditty for a while you do a great job, if you can't play it slow you can't play it fast. DO SPANKS I think you would do a great job at it.
