Anyone else having no idea why this was recommended? But also extremely happy it was? This guy is amazing and deserves recognition.
My day has been made :)
Yes, but actually yes
Same, never heard of this guy, but glad I watched this!
I messaged a friend on facebook about a snare drum came to youtube and here I am.
Money talks. but I agree.
Okay algorithm. I'm here, you didn't dissapoint.
Same
Definitely a late night algorithm that I can get hip to!!!
Dito
Murdered that ending was so fire. Algorithm got me here as well tyvm!
Facts
Dayum. No idea why this showed up in recommended, but I'm glad it did. Well done man!
Thanks so much! 🙌🏼
Randomly came here too from YT recommendations and damn am I glad it did.
I loved the movie. So I clicked on the thumbnail. Now I subscribe 👍
Same here.
Same
See you all in 9 years when the algorithm unites us once more
may the time treat your well
6 months but close enough
7 months in the future, earth is still doomed but this video is dope 👌🏽.
Ps. Don't forget to update us 1 year from now (people who now just discovered this)
It seems like the great algorithm has summoned us once again.
I think your comment was number 666
Are we all the same music teacher from across the multiverse?
All hail the mighty Algorithm
😂😂😂😂
Lol
Me: Let's research crypto.
TH-cam: Drumline audition.
Me: Sounds right. Let's do it.
Yes I am with you brother
fuck oooooooff.... I was doing he same! jajajaja
Seems like it's somehow related, apparently.
Not mad about it, but distracted by it.
SAAAAAME!
@@james-michaelrobson287 yeah naaaa.... not related by content but by viewer. Let me guess: all of us male, between 27 and 35, spending the mayority of the time at home and watching too much youtube, mainly in LTT thinking about a new pc?
Bald Bandleader: "Who memorizes an audition piece?"
Apex: "A oney and a twoey"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☠
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I got to that part just as i was reading this
I spit on my keyboard at this and I wasn't even drinking anything...just disgusting 😂😂
It's insane he is learning this by ear and memorizing the exact cadence...I can't fathom it. This is an amazing skill!
I'ts a f'ing movie, "CUT- RETAKE # 27"
Not that surprising a lot of that happens in band rooms across the country. Definitely did in mine. That's how I learned every single cadence when I was on drumline. Couldn't and still can't read sheet music.
@@Geion you were in band and didn’t know how to read music?
@@camoeco3680 some more show style bands are like that
In cadets we memorized every drum beats. There was no sheets of our beats. It was just passed from senior to junior by hear.
So I was actually in the movie. Nick did learn somethings and got to the point of carrying his sticks around like a actual percussionist lol The harder elements were done by a stunt double. Specifically on the zoomed shots. Anyway this was shot in the winter/spring ish of 2001,2002. The Atl A&T band is actually Southwest Dekalb HS in Decatur, GA. There were a handful, literally of CAU students in the band as well. The stadoums used were MBC and CAU stadiums.
I am NOT a percussionist so I don't know all of that technical stuff outside of the fact that I don't believe any sheet music was used. Also they distorted the sound of the band from the first scene at the graduation till the end as they wanted the sound of the band to get progressively better throughout the movie. Trust SWD was solid back then.
very cool thanks for the insight!
@@donjuanjones7090 b8
I believe the movie is based on the music producer Dallas Austin’s life in college. Maybe that’s why no sheet music was used because he wrote all the sections. 🤷🏽♀️
@@FireflyTM247 yes it is he just did an interview on the 85 sound show
That's wassup! I was in the movie too. I was in the crowd at the GA Dome. I'm still looking for me in the crowd. I know i was there but it's like playing find Waldo. I'm keeping the faith though... One day I will see myself in the crowd. 😆 🤣
TH-cam algorithm is wild, but not always wrong. Definitely didn’t disappoint this time.
Agreed
Word!! Now I need to wake my legs up and get off the 🚽
The bots are getting bolder lately
Ive been looking up what place I wanna eat pizza from tonight all day. I guess my algorithm agent took a day off.
I was in the drum line, and pit in high school when this came out. There was not one of us who didn't try to replicate it.
As a 10+ year percussionist and section leader for a top college band, I still have no clue how you did that so damn fast 😭
@Dyanosis If it took the entire day and night, Its still fast, If it took a week, its still fast.
He had 18 years to figure it out.
This is wild. Not even sure how I got here.
We don’t question the algorithm. We merely abide.
Me neither but I'm impressed with this guy😅
Same! The algorithm has been wild n out lately😲
Fr lol
I don’t either but I dig it
“Was I close?” Stop playing with us man...you’re like the drumline Neo. The chosen one.
Exactly 😂🤣
😂😂😂
I actually know someone named Neo who does percussion lol
I like this dude. Honest, no ego - loves the craft.
I’m always impressed by percussionists. I cannot for the life of me keep a beat on anything but a guitar.
Queue "Wellerman"
and video of you dancing at a wedding?
Video is higher quality then I would ever expect from this low of a sub count. You should for sure be getting higher up. I'll be showing this to my school Drumline.
Thanks Axton! We think so too, it just takes a lot of hard work in the beginning to get off the ground. Any sharing would help us out a ton since we are so small!
I agree. You’ll pass me up in no time ;)
thAn THAN THAN godDAMNIT
This movie was the reason I became a drummer. My name is fucking Devin. This wasn’t just an algorithm this was destiny
Dude fucking same. My name is Devyn, joined band in 6th grade and did marching band from middle school to college lol.
@@devynrodriguez8151 I believe the name is Fucking Devin, not just Devin... At least that’s what I choose to believe.
Also, this movie got me into drumming. I actually play a couple of instruments, and I’m self taught; but drums were my first.
@@eduardobrachetti4684 you might be the hero here
🤣🤣 love ittt!
I met John S. Pratt about 20 years ago at a drum clinic. Such a great drummer and even nicer person. Drum Corps on Parade is so iconic. One of my favorite solos growing up. RIP
how could anyone down vote this? This man is a fuckin genius... memorized that piece really quick .. .
The people that down voted it are actual marching band members and realize how easy this was to memorize.
@@thomasallanah1417 - No, just haters. I just read a comment made by a 10 year section leader who said he still doesn’t know how this guy did it, but it is a video so he may have practice extensively prior to filming.
You’ve entered the algorithm. You’re in for a ride
Welcome to the Rabbit Hole!!!!
Jokes on you I watched this movie 5 days ago so right on time for the algorithm
My body is ready
One of the good algorithm suggestions.
Lol for a week and most likely just on the vid, maybe a couple more.
I am actually impressed, the main thing about doing this drum rhythm on a practice pad, is it doesn’t have the snap of the lagotto. Which is the snare he is playing. The piece he is playing is called wake up jubilee. It’s the cadence the lead snare plays as you take your morning March. Most marching bands practice before the rest of the school gets there. This cadence plays all of the basic changes found in marching music. The reason there is no music, is because it changes slightly per band and drum lead. The fast single roll, looks odd, because again, a practice pad doesn’t have the snap of a lagotto snare. That’s a snare with 22 milled aluminum rim keys, a machined aluminum head ring, and a Kevlar woven drum head. A rim shot on that snare is as loud as a gunshot.
You must be a drum major. Lol
on the up end of the gram meter? Or the lunar waneshaft?
Sound is SO crispy . Been chasing it for years hahah
Soooooooo true that snap is a monster
We always called them "free floaters" lol. You are spot on about the practice pad vs actual drum though.
This man bodied this piece and than asks "wAS I CLosE?"
I loved watching you work through this. Sometimes this is how I work through a new song on the piano when I don't have sheet music. 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
the movie is a movie, watching someone actually did this is insane. no idea how i ended up here but god damn you have talent.
super impressive
Why did this pop in my recommended? Not mad. Just wondering. I'm glad tho
TH-cam algorithm lol
Memorization is key in a lot of HBCU drum lines. I marched all 4 years including middle school and couldn’t read music when I started, but knew how to play just like this. I could play this drum solo after watching Drumline twice as a kid
I’ve literally been playing this piece along with the movie for 10 years or longer. This was my favorite movie so I can play every single cadence in it
Facts lol
You have a TH-cam man let’s see it. I’d love to check it out
Hi can we chat in a social media
“This crab hasn’t looked down at his sheet music once.”
That’s because it doesn’t exist 😹😹
lol

“Juice it up in post” sound CRACKED me up 😂😂😂😂😂
PEW......lol
It got me so good, I split my lip because they were just a little bit dry. You might even say it literally cracked me up.
TH-cam’s algorithm: “They’ll just watch anything at this point.”
🤣🤣💯
Facts bro...😂
I watched Drumline two days before this was suggested to me. 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
They’re not wrong. At least this guy is good.
🤷🏻♂️ & here we are...
Everybody: Always clicking randomly suggested yet oddly satisfying videos.
Those same people in the comments: Not sure how I got here, but I ain’t mad this was amazing.
Best comment
My drum teacher was one of the consultants on this movie.
I loved the hell out of this movie. One of the best marching band movies I've ever seen.
You are practicing an audition played by an actor who had to practice to act like he was auditioning. "Me? I know who I am. I'm a dude playin a dude disguised as another dude"
Took the words right outta my mouth! (:
I dont play drums or any musical instrument for that matter. This showed up on my recommendations and clicked on it just cause. Subscribed simply for the talent it took to play that. Respect.
That was some impressive work. If for nothing else, just the sheer avalanche of notes and phrases to memorize. Learning some complicated solos now (as an older guitarist) and trying to remember and play some of this stuff by muscle memory is far and away harder than learning it or being able to physically play it.
I used to play drums as a kid, seeing this now makes little me so happy I always wanted to be this good.. congrats man
We did this for our drumline and I assure you, you nailed it.
As a person who was actually in this movie, I am laughing because a lot of the things you pointed out are the same thing we caught after watching this movie a few times. I can tell you that you are correct that no metronome was used for this piece. As far as the shots go, what you see in the background when the directors and section leader are talking, that is Nick's double, as well as the shots of his hands is Nick's double. Now don't kill me, but I always thought that this piece was a sketchy...but thats just my opinion. Lastly, there is no sheet music that I know of for this piece, but I could be wrong.
What role did you have in the movie?!
Hey! If you were actually in the movie, we would love to hear from you for real! Email us at themorningblock@gmail.com, Chris and I would love to chat!
Shout out to my HBCU alums. SU was supposed to be in this movie, but I heard that our band director had some issues with the script. So, we declined.
I was gonna say nick cannon has no talent , besides staying with marriah Carey
Was guessing that too, pan away or zoom out due to double or audio video sync discrepancy
Having drummed the first quarter of my life away that sounded really good and I am very much amazed at your recall ability as that is actually how I learned how to play... when I was young. BROVO! Happy this was recommended!
Dang! You are absolutely AMAZING! Please do more videos!
Atlanta Drum Academy director James Riles III Wrote the cadences for the movie ... you should reach out to him there are some tutorials for the movie on the TH-cam channel idk if this one is included though.
He wrote Drumline 2
What size drumsticks is he using
A lot of these “solos” aren’t written in HBCU culture. They are only taught. They grow change through the years. You should visit a HBCU drum line.
That's actually really cool. Letting it develop organically, and letting people rub off on it gives it character.
This is usually how our high school drumline is, typically no music given what so ever
Yo! Come on the ATL, y'all!
I’m now seeing this an omfg I’m a line major and let me give you the biggest form of respect on this piece you definitely did good
I really enjoyed watching you go through this. Well done indeed.
That scene reminds me of my older brother that passed 16 years ago he was on the drum line in high school and he loved that movie
😞
Fly high 🕊❤️👑
I'm sorry for your lost
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
RIP to the fallen BandHead #BandHeadsUnited
I don't ever like things at all but that sir was fucking impressive
This is one first time watching this channel. It was for some reason in my time line of other videos, so I watched it and very much so enjoyed it. 😊
Me: searching how to trade for beginner
TH-cam: drumline
Take 5 watching this video,damnn this dude make me want to watch drumline movie again.
Yo bro that’s fucking talent. You’re gifted. To just sit there and memorize the notes is by far the most impressive thing ever
The sniping sound on the backstick killed me LMAO
Takes me back to Drum Corp audition days! Great memories!
This movie was my LIFE in band!! Thank you so much for this! Damn near cried 🥺😭
You have just earned a subscriber my friend. I said at the beginning "If he pulls this off even remotely close, I'm gonna subscribe." and you freakin nailed it man!
The human race really has invented an infinite number or weird things to just dedicate your life to and master. Why not, eh?
People master the creation of sounds for music, others master technological feats to improve the human experience for future generations, and we have people who master the art of aged cheese. What a world... wouldnt have it any other way
Variety is the spice of life.
Eh drumming isn't really a weird thing
Drumming isn't something that was created by humans but rather something that has always been my good man. Science and history shows us not only that neanderthals and natives used it as a form of communication, but that primates have and still do today as well. These discoveries also lead way to the possibility that we adopted drumming as a form of communication from primates. 🤓
🌈The more you know!
I’ve learned one thing in life...nothing is impossible, if a person sets there mind to it anything can’t be done. With that said. This man has a gift. Bottom line. Absolutely amazing and I’m glad I watched it. 👊🏼
This just popped up in my recommended videos and I’m so glad I watched!!! Simply AMAZING!!!! Wow!!!
I watched this movie religiously as a child and learned every snare part in this movie by ear...if you asked me to do it today i would be lost. Good work my guy
“You’ll juice it up in post?”
Post edit: 💣💥
Man, this came up in my recommended and I didn't know how it could be done and you did it. This was amazing! One of my favorite "B" Movies I used to watch with my brother all the time.
Hi there. You my man are on lock. Thank you for the stick. I love this. Take care and God bless.
This is making me want to grab a practice pad and sticks again. Haven't played since high school drum line like 7 years ago and we watched this movie in class multiple times!
The TH-cam algorithm took me on a backroad detour that dropped me off at this video.
Im shocked that you dont have more subscribers. But im looking forward to more content. Keep it rolling
Absolutely incredible. Bravo bro. Wow.
Wow your ear for details is AMAZING!!!
This algorithm everybody is talking about is wild , you didn’t disappoint 🔥
This is probably the only Nick Canon movie I've ever seen.
he has others? lol
@@jlei07 Touche... LoL.
@@jlei07 "love don't cost a thing" is another
Yeah can’t forget love don’t cost a thing but that’s about it tho 🤣🤣
@@rockstar76665 lol i forgot about that one 😂😂
WOW! You nailed it! I'm impressed how you were able to do that in one seating. Skillz!
This shows up on my recommendation. I am glad it did. The movie brought up so many memories and you did such an awesome job.
The fact you knew the lines, and were saying them along with the clips is the reason why y’all earned my sub! Great video, you did good for how hard it is! Congrats. 👍🏼
When they gonna make a movie about the dude that plays the triangle?
American Pie Band Camp
😂😂😂😂
I really like this movie and watched it several times. Now, I see your last move clearly while in the movie had it all chopped around. Great job.
Dear algorithm, idk why you've been hammering this home for the last 4 or 5 days? But I'll give you the W for this one.
"Not sure where the beep boop lands?" Epic. Don't skip to the end for the final run. Watch the whole thing for the commentary.
I like when drummers speak in drummer terms. It is a fascinating field of which I know absolutely nothing about lol
Hell ya that was awesome, will definitely watch more
CRUSHED!!!! !Love this so much!!!
Drumming is an uber difficult thing that I wish I had tried to learn as a kid cause now my brain isn’t wired for it. Watching this is amazing though man. Thanks to the algorithm
You would be suprised that it is something you can still learn
@@paulleimer1218 it’s just rough with the time it would take. I tried picking up bass for a year but between theater at the time and school and now college and my attempts to get on a minor e sports team on league it’s just 😰 exhausting
@@austinhenkel3569 it's not that hard.... I caught on like that and after playing a couple of other instruments. I started my softmore year in highschool. By my senior year I was playing tenor and Base at a DCI level. I tried out for base for a DCI band and almost made it.
@@MrGrifter123 I tried to start senior year of high school but I’m in college and exploring instruments when I’m busting my ass at trying to go pro in gaming and getting a degree,, it’s just not enough time for it all
One of my favorite guilty pleasure movies. This and my dad drumming inspired me to pursue percussion. Drumline will always hold a special place in my heart.
Guilty Pleasures? The movies just good though
You killed it!!! And literally one of my favorite 🧀 y movies of all time. Good shit man!!
The cheesiest 🙏
This was awesome man… one of my favorite movies growing up.
Super impressed!!
“Who memorizes an audition piece?”
Literally everyone that wants to make the line lol
@Christian Miller The dialogue made it seem like it was supposed to be sight reading but the script had or actor said the wrong word.
@@LawrenceStroman I think it was sight reading. The movie shows that there were other percussionist auditioning before Devon and it also shows the way he memorizes music by watching and listening to whoever is playing. My theory is Devon watched the other people audition then memorized the piece before he went up to play.
Right. Most people memorize it on accident anyway.....you play it enough lol
@@MicahiLove The thing in the movie is that Devon gets busted for not knowing how to read music later in the season.
@@LawrenceStroman Lol I know. I just meant from the perspective of a musician who goes through an audition process like this.
How do you only have 40 subs. This is great content with really good editing.
We're brand new 🤷♀️ that's how it goes in the beginning haha. We will keep putting out more and better content, but if you can help us grow by telling your friends, we would sure appreciate it 😁Maybe we can look back in a year and thank Pine to the Cone for getting us some traction on TH-cam!
Sittin at about 2.5 k now
Around 6.25 when I'm watchin
9.8 when I got to see it...
This guy has talent..
Wish him the best!
323k subs now. This randomly showed up in my recommendations lol. I mean I love music stuff but i’ve never been a big drum person but man I was so into this video haha
edit: *323k views
9.39k subs
Effin amazing! This is one of my favorite movies, and you effin nailed it!
Dope!!!! Keep the videos coming I don’t play not one instrument but this takes me back to my little cousin practicing on that drum pad in Jr. High all evening. She was determined! Don’t let the editing mess with you. You did great! 🎉🎊🎊🎉🎉👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“Best way to dry carpet” brought me here lol
I got here from a carpet movie too. LMAO at TH-cam algorithms.
I got here from watching how the pyramids were built lol 😆
Oh TH-cam, your algorithm is magical. This brought me back to music lessons (about 15 years ago lol) where I had to play the Indiana Jones theme as my snare drum piece for the exam. Memories! Great job IMO.
Amazing video that was randomly recommended and I love Drumline so it worked out.
TH-cam recommended this so glad it did drum line is one of my fav movies. New stubby here I can now go searching through all your videos
That was so sick! Legendary movie.. well done crab
Okay so I got choked up when you nailed that ending. That sir, was highly impressive. Thanks for sharing your skillzzzzz
Ohhh my fkkkknnnnn goshhh! Lol this has to be the best thing on the internet. Real talent. You are crazy sick dude
That drum was so crispy mine use to sound exactly like that in high school
Best thing Nick has ever done. Love this movie and great video mate.
I think my nephew learned this from the movie. This caused him to join band and goto college on a band scholarship
Best rabbit hole I've fallen in to. Made my day. Keep it up!
Was definitely looking at stock market vids and this got recommended and now I’m here to stay!!!!!
