I’m almost positive this is the Honor Guard, who’s whole job is to train to do this. They guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and funeral ceremonies for veterans. This guy are badass and have a very hard job.
Though they are the drill team, first and foremost they are infantry men. Every US infantry unit has certifications and have to be combat ready at all times.
JinzoDefiler ah okay, I’ve seen others reply with “no it’s the 3rd Infantry Regiment” which I though that honor guards were apart of. So I was half right! Now a question for you, is it only Army Guard that guards the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier or do other branches participate too? Because I’m pretty sure all branches have their own Honor Guard
@@huntclanhunt9697 From the web: Standard drill team rifles in the United States are the M1 Garand, M14, or the M1903 Springfield rifle. Armed teams usually use a demilitarized version of the rifle or a facsimile, which may be light-weight for spinning (such as for marching show band use).
I loved the music. It really has an uplifting vibe to it. You deserve more recognition for your music. You have a real talent for it. All I can say is 8:08
My dad had a friend who was at one of those ceremonies. He threw his rifle and missed the catch, causing the knife to cut him across the back, all the way down to the bone. As part of a bet with his buddies, he had himself sewn up without anesthetic.
In America, this sort of drill is taught in a lot of highschools starting when you are around 14 for people who opt into the program. So there is a lot of opportunity for practice by the time you are nearing 30
I'm an American and I took a HS drill class. The class is a part of High School ROTC (reserve officer training corp) classes, which in theory are an alternative to Physical Education classes that provide a lot more opportunities to try different things and learn skills - first aid, basic drill, some really light tactical training if you're lucky, a chance to take boot camp, that kind of thing. There were some kids that were definitely better at drill than others, and there's a huge selection process for becoming a part of the Army honor guard, it's intense.
We had drill team starting in middle school. It was attached to the marching band and not the ROTC program which didn’t start until high school. Flags or rifles. I did rifles, without the bayonets (wimpy school district). You might be surprised to learn that flipping the rifle in the air and catching it was not nearly as hard as spinning it without getting your hand caught up in the strap. 😆
Yeah. I’m in high school right now, and before the pandemic started, I would always see a group of people practicing stuff like this with a fake rifle whenever I walked by one area of the school.
The Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon is more well known than the Army Drill Team. The Silent Drill Platoon is so much better in my opinion. Although as a former Marine I am a bit biased. 🤪
Loved the music vid. And the Army drill team which is I beleive is the the 3rd ID out of Henderson Hall in DC. How does one order a cup I love your videos. Thank you sir for your service to your country!
What are you talking about no views on the song i watched and commented I love the song is there anyway I can get this on Spotify or some other app on Android 🇪🇪🇺🇸
Thanks for reviewing this. I had the honor to serve as an Honor Gaurd on the U.S. Navy drill team. It took a great amount of practice but there were very few injuries. Primarily because you weed out the guys who cant perform at such a high level during a lengthy selection process. You cannot be distracted by worrying about danger but have utmost faith in the men you are with to maintain focus on the task at hand.
Artur NAILED it. A stationary march, "mark time", is easy to do, but VERY Very hard to do right, especially without vocal aide of any sort. Speeding up when marking time is what separates drill soldiers from trench turtles
Their all trained infantry, but the best of the best in discipline, assuming they're the same as the tomb of the Unknown Soldier (who perform respectful ceremonies, but I do believe they can do things like this, but only rarely)
Patten leather and are the worst uncomfortable shoes forced on the fighting man lol then to top it off they make you wear paper thin dress socks hated wearing those things haha .
I liked your music video! Thank you for watching the U.S. Army drill team. My 94 year old father lives with me and fought the Germans in the European theater. I am also a combat vet. 1 deployment in Iraq and 1 in Afghanistan. Staff Sargent Rick James U.S. Army (Ret.)
In the US Army, they sometimes make you hold your weapon straight out in front of you as punishment. Builds the hell out of those shoulder muscles you were talking about. Does the Estonian military do similar things?
or sometimes its just part of PT, my best friend got stuck in a circle formation passing weapons around at full arm length, when they paused he had a m249 in each hand...id be amazed if he lasted a whole 20 seconds
Have you thought of expanding your shop some? Maybe clothes and possibly trinkets? I'd live to learn more about Estonia and Life there, maybe we could see a few vlogs? Keep up the amazing videos I'm glad to have found you on TH-cam!
Holy hell i had no idea you made music and I’m seriously impressed you have an incredibly smooth voice. I’ll be checking out any other music you have or make in the future.
I believe they stil use the M1 garand gir drill. the rifle is heavy, around 10 pounds (about 4.6 kg) if you have not, check out what it takes to be a gaurd at the "Tomb of The Unknowns."
@@scottblackberg5828 I looked it up. They are using 1903 Springfield Rifles with the bolts removed. Here is the link: www.oldguard.mdw.army.mil/specialty-platoons/us-drill-team
When I was a JROTC cadet on the color guard, we were doing the opening ceremony for a football game, and we were getting help from an active soldier who had been a drill team cadet under the same Sergeant Major. The guy told us this funny story about another pair of soldiers who tried doing the same sort of ceremonial drills they had done in high school, but with the M-4s they went to war with. The both ended up with injuries to the face from the front sights and buttstocks.
If you can watch the Indian Army Hell March 2019 , not bragging but their marching is next level. Indian Army performs a lot of ceremonies similar to this
Bro I don't know about anyone else but I like it. I feel the emotion and pride u have of having freedom. It was a long time coming for u guys if I remember my history. Thanks for your service from David from Oklahoma USA
I liked the song but I feel like it doesn’t do a “perfect” job at capturing your voice. Have you ever written a song around the structure of your vocals? If not, would love to hear it!
I was a member of the 8th Army Honor Guard from 1991-1992, some of those techniques we developed ourselves. It takes a lot of dedication and patience. The heel clicks are metal on the shoes not wood. We would train 8-12 hours a day for certain ceremonies, mostly it was uniform prep, weapons maintenance and boredom.We all had to be at least 6 foot tall and from the infantry with a near perfect asvab and pt score.Im sure the standards have changed a bit from then.
Unfortunately people tend to forget about the Prussians, or don't realize how influenced modern western armies are by them, so they make the connection to the Nazis instead. I think it has to do with the fact so much media has been about the Nazis so people don't realize it's based off a much older style.
hey wait a minute, you commented to my comment a day or two ago on one of arturs videos, but yeah, I agree with what your saying tho, British history is deep at, they were rather constantly at war or planning a war lmao
Yo my man, you have a killer voice. Your music definitely needs to be heard, if not your music you’re voice for sure needs to be heard. Really really good music and a really good video
Music video was great! Very inspiring. Your voice sounds almost exactly like the Phantom from the 2004 movie of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Phantom of the Opera’. You’ve got a good, airy tenor voice with power behind it. Kept it up dude!
Artur did you make the military video introduction to your video of the marching and combat scenes where your voice distorts with the beat? It’s really cool, you ought to make some more of those . It’s bad ass! I’d love to see a US military compilation to your beats and style. That same style. This music video was good, I liked it and it’s very professionally put together , awesome voice and acoustic guitar! Awesome and talented my friend!
Your singing kinda reminded me of Woodkid a little bit, but the whole song was pretty good - felt like something to accompany a good war scene in a movie
The rifles used are 1903 Springfield Rifles which have been chromed and snazzed up for Parade Drill. It was the last Bolt Action Rifle used by the U.S. Military. It was replaced by the M1 Garand.

2:10 Sometimes yes, sometimes no. In some drills and such they are expected to make a 'salute' by firing their weapon, in others (such as indoor drills/demonstrations like this) they are there for 'pageant' and the weapon usually is a 'safe' version that can't fire.
There’s a video of them performing in a high school gym which is very impressive. You’re able to see more of what they do, which is pretty impressive. I grew up right outside DC and we looked forward to this assembly every year.
Oh, that's the story behind that song! I saw it on your channel earlier but I didn't know it was a Eurovision submission and that you cowrote it with an American.
Arthur you are more American then some Americans, keep living the dream man!!!!!! I thought it was a vet good video, i lived the words in your doing. Everyone loves freedom!!!!
Wait, your music video from a week ago is still up and a number of us commented... you couldn’t see it? Well, I thought it was absolutely beautiful! Was your grandpa in it?
I’m an old US Army Infantryman, and one of my squad leaders was on the Army Drill Team. He was an amazing leader. Suffice it to say, our drill and ceremony was on point, and we were a high op tempo Infantry unit. The entire US military places a big emphasis on drill and ceremony precision. The reason for that as explained by my squad leader is that history has shown that effective fighting forces also had high degrees of discipline, and that discipline is definitely developed through precise and intense drill and ceremony training. Thanks to him, I got to do some ceremony events (not to the level of these guys!) but high profile enough to make the nerves rattle a little bit. But when someone like that trains you, it kinda becomes a zen thing when things hit game time. Thanks for this review! Next time you come to the states, come to Atlanta!
To answer one of your questions, the rifle used is the M1 Garand and was in service from 1936 to 1958. It weighs just a little over 10 pounds. (4.8kg) It is only used by the Drill teams because of it straight sleek design, modern firearms, due to their shapes can't be used like this, so we use weapons that date back to WWII.
The rifles are Garand M1s, they weigh about 9.5 lbs (4.3 kg). Introduced as the assault rifle for WWII, used through Korea, and some into Vietnam. Yes, they still work, very well. I have one.
I use to do this in JROTC we use to throw our Rifles in the air and catch them behind our backs and we also use to hit the butt of our rifles on the floor and made music with our Rifles and at the end we use that rattling sound you hear in the video we spin our rifle with one hand and catch it with our right hand then we rattled our rifles then spin with the right hand spin in the air and catch it at port arms then we present arms why we do it because it was fun. These Rifle are real and heavy The Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force Drill Teams are used for diplomatic expeditions or schools or events. Some Nations have Drill Teams the best Drill teams i seen was US Army, US Marine Corp and JSDF (Japan) drill team. If you like to see some cool fun marching every year in November Japan hold the JSDF Marching festival its Military bands doing so me cool stuff last year it was the JSDF, US Army, US Marines, Germany and Vietnam bands Participated it was awesome check it out on you free time.
Wow the algorithm is not your friend. As soon as you said boom TH-cam cut to a commercial. Love you videos brother. I spent two years as the Noncommissioned Officer In Charge (NCOIC) of the Honor Guard at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. We handled all burial duties for the tri state area, change of command ceremonies, military holidays and weddings. We have real jobs. We are real soldiers. My soldiers performed all of their day to day duties and trained for Honor Guard duties about 8 hrs a week. We would train about 16 hrs before an engagement. Never had a lot of screwing around practicing for burial's. None of the usual playing grab ass. When we laid someone to wrest it was understood it was one of our own. These guys they are professionals this is their only job. If you haven't already you should check out the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Marine Corps silent drill team.
Artur Rehi. If you are wanting to continue your journey in U.S. history, I suggest you react to the atrocities to Emmett Till. A 14 year old African American boy from the north who was lynched when he visited family in the south in 1955. To my understanding this sparked the civil rights movement in America. (Btw don’t show his face after they found his body, or you’ll probably get demonetized.)
It was in Mississippi and the men who murdered him were found not guilty then went on to brag about doing it. But because of double jeopardy they couldn't be tried for Emmett Tills murder again. Emmett's murder gave Rosa Parks the courage to stand up for herself and yes started the civil rights movement.
Just remember they are doing all those movements with fixed bayonets.
and we are taught that if you happen to get knicked by one, you were not to show it, although that almost never happens.
Thanks, because no one else, but you, is able to see the video...
Christoph Himmelsbach oh I thought yall use fake ones while on stage like this so that if u accidentally chucked ur rifle into the crowd
The fun part of this video is the M - 1 30 Caliber " Garand " Rifle with Bayonet and Sling weighs 11.2 pounds.
I think his comment is towards the Marines drill team..... but the Air Force keeps bayonets fixed as well ;)
I’m almost positive this is the Honor Guard, who’s whole job is to train to do this. They guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and funeral ceremonies for veterans. This guy are badass and have a very hard job.
Shawn Moses it’s the US army drill team
Though they are the drill team, first and foremost they are infantry men. Every US infantry unit has certifications and have to be combat ready at all times.

did you just compare US army to nazis lmao. just kidding. love the channel!
I'm not going to lie I was unprepared for that and I laughed so hard
Considering how they’ve never been accused of unimpressive drill and ceremony, it’s a compliment LOL
Well, the American Revolutionaries were taught by a Prussian officer how to do drills so they have a bit of similarities with the Nazis.
We no longer use these weapons in war, however they are fully operational.
Depends, there are deactivated drill rifles and non deactivated ones
Clint Larvenz yes it all depends on if the drill requires any shots, there probably using deactivated ones as there indoors
@@nolanjohnson7535 some times they are just unloaded ones
Are those M1s, M1903s, ot M14s?

Amazing voice brotha!! Keep the music coming I love all the videos! That is one of my favorite music videos you have done seriously great!!!

Standard drill team rifles in the United States are the M1 Garand, M14, or the M1903 Springfield rifle. Armed teams usually use a demilitarized version of the rifle or a facsimile, which may be light-weight for spinning (such as for marching show band use).

Wait, your music video from a week ago is still up and a number of us commented... you couldn’t see it? Well, I thought it was absolutely beautiful! Was your grandpa in it?
I’m an old US Army Infantryman, and one of my squad leaders was on the Army Drill Team. He was an amazing leader. Suffice it to say, our drill and ceremony was on point, and we were a high op tempo Infantry unit. The entire US military places a big emphasis on drill and ceremony precision. The reason for that as explained by my squad leader is that history has shown that effective fighting forces also had high degrees of discipline, and that discipline is definitely developed through precise and intense drill and ceremony training. Thanks to him, I got to do some ceremony events (not to the level of these guys!) but high profile enough to make the nerves rattle a little bit. But when someone like that trains you, it kinda becomes a zen thing when things hit game time. Thanks for this review! Next time you come to the states, come to Atlanta!
I follow you on Facebook so I already saw the video but I did watch it again bc it's a pretty song. 🇺🇸🕊
To answer one of your questions, the rifle used is the M1 Garand and was in service from 1936 to 1958. It weighs just a little over 10 pounds. (4.8kg) It is only used by the Drill teams because of it straight sleek design, modern firearms, due to their shapes can't be used like this, so we use weapons that date back to WWII.
I would love to see you react to the changing of the guard at Arlington
The rifles are Garand M1s, they weigh about 9.5 lbs (4.3 kg). Introduced as the assault rifle for WWII, used through Korea, and some into Vietnam. Yes, they still work, very well. I have one.
Artur I appreciate your videos and your service to your country. Have you watched the USAF Thunderbirds they are amazing.
Very cool song and music video...u r definitely very proud of your heritage! I dig it
I use to do this in JROTC we use to throw our Rifles in the air and catch them behind our backs and we also use to hit the butt of our rifles on the floor and made music with our Rifles and at the end we use that rattling sound you hear in the video we spin our rifle with one hand and catch it with our right hand then we rattled our rifles then spin with the right hand spin in the air and catch it at port arms then we present arms why we do it because it was fun. These Rifle are real and heavy The Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force Drill Teams are used for diplomatic expeditions or schools or events. Some Nations have Drill Teams the best Drill teams i seen was US Army, US Marine Corp and JSDF (Japan) drill team. If you like to see some cool fun marching every year in November Japan hold the JSDF Marching festival its Military bands doing so me cool stuff last year it was the JSDF, US Army, US Marines, Germany and Vietnam bands Participated it was awesome check it out on you free time.
Wow the algorithm is not your friend. As soon as you said boom TH-cam cut to a commercial. Love you videos brother. I spent two years as the Noncommissioned Officer In Charge (NCOIC) of the Honor Guard at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. We handled all burial duties for the tri state area, change of command ceremonies, military holidays and weddings. We have real jobs. We are real soldiers. My soldiers performed all of their day to day duties and trained for Honor Guard duties about 8 hrs a week. We would train about 16 hrs before an engagement. Never had a lot of screwing around practicing for burial's. None of the usual playing grab ass. When we laid someone to wrest it was understood it was one of our own. These guys they are professionals this is their only job. If you haven't already you should check out the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Marine Corps silent drill team.
Artur Rehi. If you are wanting to continue your journey in U.S. history, I suggest you react to the atrocities to Emmett Till. A 14 year old African American boy from the north who was lynched when he visited family in the south in 1955. To my understanding this sparked the civil rights movement in America. (Btw don’t show his face after they found his body, or you’ll probably get demonetized.)
It was in Mississippi and the men who murdered him were found not guilty then went on to brag about doing it. But because of double jeopardy they couldn't be tried for Emmett Tills murder again. Emmett's murder gave Rosa Parks the courage to stand up for herself and yes started the civil rights movement.
Your song is amazing man!!! Please put it on Apple Music and I will listen to it 100 times per day
Artur you might want to check youtube video "voices from the tomb", it will give you a better idea of what it takes to be a "Centinal" enjoy.
