- Here's yet another clip of Alex & the boys tearing it up. From the B-Cal days. The drums are actually Sonors with Premier Kevlar Duraline or (Fiberline) heads. Amazing that Sonor did not use their heavier diecast hoops on these drums. The triple flanged hoops did the trick. I love the sound of these drums. I'm a diehard Premier fan but just goes to show what German engineering can come up with. I think these are great sounding pipe bands snares for the their time. (1985,86) I'd love to have one for the collection. Hope everyone enjoys.

Absolute pleasure. No doubt Scottish snare drumming is pure Funk. Great composition by Duthart. Thanks.
I'm originally from the Philippines and now living in New Zealand. I have been in the pipe band as a Drum Sergeant and this is Brilliant! I listen to it at least every week.
I am drummer in a little pipe band in France. J'ai vu Alex, in Scotland, play this score. It was fantastic. I often listen to me toi. I Always try to play this score but it's difficult.
What a pleasure to hear this again. I first heard it as a young boy, now I'm nearly 50, but it hasn't lost its appeal. The drum corps of today could learn alot from Alex Duthart. I'm a piper by the way.
Thank you for sharing this video - I've only just discovered this wonderful gentleman Alex Duthart and his brilliant drumming legacy - so enjoyable to watch and listen to !
This video is a pure Treasure.
Awesome video. A lot of the older guys in my corps knew Alex but I was born just a little after his time unfortunately. I wish I could have met him and seen him and his corps in person.
the back sticking is amazing
Nice one...my dad,Tom Mackay played alongside Alex at Invergordon.
@robandrene Further to agricolae 101, I too was at Nottingham's Wollaton Park to see the massed pipes and drums in 1979. However, as I was only nine years of age, I cannot remember if it was the World Championships or not. All I know there were around 109 bands present and they all came together at the end of the day to play a massed drum salute and marches. The atmosphere was absolutely electric.
Awesome video!
As part of Knightswood Juvenile that wone the world championship in Nottingham, I appreciate Mr. Duthart and Shotts.....
Excellent, I'm sure this is the clip recorded and shown on the programme Gracenotes and it was the only time drumming was shown. Short lived programme sadly. Can anyone name the other drummers? I'm a piper and sure someone told me Eric Ward was part of this corps, is he and who else?
SSA76...You struck again! For many years I wondered if I'd ever see film or video of the Big Man. Last year you posted one or two. Now you've put up FIVE in about a week!!!
I wonder if there are any of just him playing solo?
This comment is from 2018, just to keep the comments up to date! You can thank me later.
it says one year ago lol
RBM lmao

Can anyone tell me the make of drums
Hi just wondering if you have anymore clips of B-Cal as my father in law Brian Johnston played in B-Cal alongside Alex on drums. He sadly passed away 2 years ago and any footage would be appreciated
Wow the dums sounded like a bag of spanner back in the day...nice playing though!
@ ssa76 i have a premeir version of this drum in red but i cant find a bottom snare for it, do you know anywhere where i can buy one ?
martiplug, from Big Alex's, left you have Jim Collins, Arthur Cooke and Alex's life long good friend Bert Barr.
Safetyleader, this was on the BBC's "Pipers Tune" hosted by Seamas MacNeill, aired in the early 80's.
DougDinsdale, yes there are but I still haven't figured out how to post vids on the web yet-!! In fact SSA76 got his stuff from my library. One day if I can figure out how to do it, I'll share my research material with ya'll, out of respect for the big man's memory.
Slainte
holy crap...sonors???
@agricolae101 In 1979 the World Championships were held in Nottingham. I know, I was there. If you want to verify, I suggest you go to the RSPBA website and look at who/where the 1979 World's were. I don't know if they ever went to England again or not, but for one year they did. I know......I was there....and was almost arrested.....
The Championships were indeed in Notingham , Wolloton park, 1979, we flew to Toronto on the monday for the CNE tattoo from Manchester, great memories.
