It shouldnt really lower your self esteem, youre looking at the best of the best, there is no way to be sad about not being as good as the best people at what they do
mozak plesa yea there is but the first scale you learn in beginning/intermediate band is the Bb major scale. B major scale is learned later in intermediate to advanced band, usually when learning the circle of fifths.
Its crazy how hard front ensemble music really is. they make it sound and look easy from an audience perspective. But holy crap I don't have that much coordination to do all of that. Hats off to Michael Tran and all front ensembles across Drum Corps International.
Yep. Obviously marching and choreography isn’t an issue for pit players, but it’s made up for with their difficult rhythms and music. There was a striking difference in how I heard the pit music in the overall performance’s recording where it wasn’t as clear, and how I heard the actual rhythms in this headcam recording.
Sarah Ruiz, actually it’s the tuba, at least in symphonic bands. But you are half true because The Drums are widely considered as the foundation of a Jazz band, Rock band, etc. and there is a Drum Set present
TheMainMiek IKR. I have barely enough room to do two mallets! Most of the songs I like playing have octaves that go up and down (for example, high octave Gs, then low octave Gs), and I can’t play it because my glockenspiel is literally 2 or 3 octaves.
To be a set player for the Blue Devils, or any player for that matter, you have to be a master of your instrument. It's especially competitive for people like the set drummer and timpani since they typically only take one, so you have to be the best of the best. I would say and I'm sure at least some people would agree with me that the Blue Devils is technically one of the best corps out there, if not THE best, so making the corp at all takes as much work and dedication as an olympic athlete. All of this said though, anything can be done with enough proficiency in a subject, and with enough practice anyone would have a decent chance.
watched the drummers perspective first. thought to myself "what an amazing percussionist." when i saw you. then i stumbled across this video. great job man
theyre playing the flight of the bumble bee perfectly and im over here as a little flutist that struggled in the flute/clarinet part in air dublinesque
i love how throughout this entire performance everyone is bodily engaged and incredibly focused on how what they do contributes to each other as an ensemble. beautiful job.
I always get a ton of shit for being in pit and it kinda depresses me. I feel like im missing out on the experience of.marching but I dont feel good enough to switch to drumline. I can play the parts but I cant march. I dont have the stamina to march a show.
TheKewlGamingMonkey marching isnt too hard. im in my freshman year as a baritone ( we dont allow trombones) and it was tough at first but after about 2 days you get everything down really easily except for slides maybe
TheKewlGamingMonkey They don't expect you to naturally know how to march, once you make drum line they teach you how to march the first couple days of band camp.
I've been alternating between being in pit and marching and I still don't understand why horn line members always hate on the pit, cause they usually rely on them for their entrances, whether they're supposed to or not :P

Inverted_ box it generally means speak without preparation. it’s mostly in music when an artist adds random, unrehearsed lines in a song, typically in rap music. an example could be when DJ Khaled yells “WE THE BEST MUSIC” or 2Pac’s “westside”
I love watching percussion stuff, I miss marching band :( I was in the Kiski area marching band when I was high school. The college I went to didn't have a band, they got rid of it once I join :(
Making this a long term project to learn this! Starting today! 10/1/21 Will update if/when I finish :) 6/6/22 got a lot of the parts done!! 4/8/24 whoops 2 year late update 😅 This became a side project I forgot but I never gave up on mallets and am proud to say I have an audition for a college band in 2 months!!

That’s why they tend to play very extravagantly and why they do things like flip their sticks, and it’s also why they shove the sticks/shakers in the bag in time or on notes, or also to make the sounds less noticeable. Anyways, thanks for coming to my Ted talk
This was like the first blue devils vid i watched 2 years ago and i didnt watch the full thing cause i got bored and then i came back watching EVERY head cam idk Why
WillMPB/ /MrPizzaBoy57 I meant it was too much pressure mentally my school has a really big band but for some reason we only have 2 people in our mellophone section and we have a lot of solos sooo 🙃 but yeah you’re right after 3rd Bass I would die
This just healed my soul so much ... graduating high school and not being able to be in marching band, pep band, or band on general is killing me. Being in drum line was one of my favorite memories in high school 🙂
That little 7 note phrase at 7:47 is just *chefs kiss* absolutly amazing! Idek why it's this specific 2-3 sec phrase that just really gets to me. Top notch stuff right here!
In my high school marching band, we have 4 bass players, one of which has been in the band since day one. She, to say the very least, is the worst drummer I've ever heard play. She either dramatically rushes or dramatically drags, and can't keep a steady beat to save her life. She can't even play a clean triplet, and our newest member of the band called her out on it, and even though he has just recently joined the band and has never even toughed a drum in his life until now, he is *so much better* than her. It's almost funny how a new member is much better than someone who's been playing since *elementary* lol.
This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. It's crazy to think you can get this amazing at percussion! Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the great work
The is the first ever dci head cam I ever watched and I come back time and time again to watch it Edit: who’s watching this because they miss dci season 2020
The pattern is actually fairly easily, it's a lot of chromatic patterns. There a couple funky parts but once you get it the hard part is bringing it up to lightspeed
We had an indoor percussion competition yesterday and Scott Johnson was one of the judges and he scored us 1st place for music!! Definitely gave us motivation!🤩
I'm in begginer band and we play simple music, but every time we play as a group, it gives me a crazy adrenaline rush, so this must be like a heart attack.
ShadyCrescent93 keep that passion and use it. don’t be afraid to do new things. that feeling and that passion is what sets you aside from most of the other band kids. take it, expand it, and someday you can be in something like DCI.
Every one of those kids had the same feeling since beginning band, and it kept them going thru about 20,000 hours of practices to get to that level, just as it shall for you.
I got to say HOLY CRAP I wish out band was as amazing as this one. Even with what little you see, it feels like you there. Damn that was amazing. Amazing work you guys. 😄😍🤗
with our front ens everyone just sticks to one instrument but we have one of the smallest drum lines in texas with only 4 snares 4 bases 2 tenors and 4 cymbals
I'm a percussionist, and I'd just like to say thank you for lowering my self esteem by forty percent

To be a set player for the Blue Devils, or any player for that matter, you have to be a master of your instrument.

You think mellaphone is hard try carrying a bass drum
WillMPB/ /MrPizzaBoy57 I meant it was too much pressure mentally my school has a really big band but for some reason we only have 2 people in our mellophone section and we have a lot of solos sooo 🙃 but yeah you’re right after 3rd Bass I would die
ooooh! mello's unite!
4:33 I swear on this one he says “ad lib” but on the drummer head cam he says “tiny Rick”
I’m not even in band and you made my self confidence in playing an instrument plummet. You were amazing.
The amount of talent, effort and precision that goes into this is astounding. Fantastic job!
Guy in the Blue Devils Playing the Glockenspiel with no mistakes.
I play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with mistakes every time.
Do you play hot cross buns with mistakes?
That piece of shit easy but not this shit
and the trumpets are complaining about how they have a hard instrument.
Owen Doyal ikr it’s clearly French horn...
Big Head YES IT IS
Big Head French horn representation
Trumpet is kinda hard to hit the double c

Travis Vis how do u guys hear this stuff, I can't hear it!
ThunderAnt you gotta put your ear close to the speaker!
Travis Vis !!!!!!

Travis Vis also all i hear are the horns
This just healed my soul so much ... graduating high school and not being able to be in marching band, pep band, or band on general is killing me. Being in drum line was one of my favorite memories in high school 🙂
2:22 EXCUSE ME??!?!?!?!
That little 7 note phrase at 7:47 is just *chefs kiss* absolutly amazing! Idek why it's this specific 2-3 sec phrase that just really gets to me. Top notch stuff right here!
Bb A F Bb A F G. imma be playing this on crotales
You're a hog on the mallets, beast warrior of the band lol
Paul Fuller drum study god right
maturing is looking back at this 2 years later and appreciating it for more than just fast runs LOL... im going bonkers over this
This video makes me feel like I am doing something wrong as a percussionist. Good Job
6:41 Most satisfying bar in DCI Front Ensemble history
No 7:51
HOLY FUCK! THE BASSES AT 7:14 !!!!!!
AJ Peal what?
ThunderAnt That bass split dude!!
AJ Peal omg yeeesss
YESSS IT WAS SO GOOD!! I PLAY FIRST BASS AT MY HIGH SCHOOL, IF ONLY WE COULD DO THATTT
In my high school marching band, we have 4 bass players, one of which has been in the band since day one. She, to say the very least, is the worst drummer I've ever heard play. She either dramatically rushes or dramatically drags, and can't keep a steady beat to save her life. She can't even play a clean triplet, and our newest member of the band called her out on it, and even though he has just recently joined the band and has never even toughed a drum in his life until now, he is *so much better* than her. It's almost funny how a new member is much better than someone who's been playing since *elementary* lol.
凄く上手ですね！！手の動きがしなやかで憧れです✨
Dislike because no one said “is this thing on”
Jonah Garcia *tap* *tap* “is this thing on?”
Try listening at 2x Speed. It's an experience...
Everyone is talking about 2:23 but can we just take a moment to appreciate 8:03

This is the first ever dci cam I saw and usually I come to watch to let myself know this my first introduction to dci
Two-Handed 100
Lost my friggin mind at 8:00!! Love it!! My favorite cam vid! Proud to be a Devil!
Me i play trombone BUTTTT i found this so amazing and thought that this was the coolest thing ever
I can literally relate to this whole sentence, I love you
MrPurplePhoenix

Raiku eyyy trombone fam
This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. It's crazy to think you can get this amazing at percussion! Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the great work
4:47 the look on that guys face xD
This is the greatest video I have ever watched im sharing this with all my musical friends
4:47 his look to camera was so well timed 😆
The is the first ever dci head cam I ever watched and I come back time and time again to watch it
Edit: who’s watching this because they miss dci season 2020
How the butt cheeks do you play flight of the bumblebee on xylophone
The pattern is actually fairly easily, it's a lot of chromatic patterns. There a couple funky parts but once you get it the hard part is bringing it up to lightspeed
We had an indoor percussion competition yesterday and Scott Johnson was one of the judges and he scored us 1st place for music!! Definitely gave us motivation!🤩
12:00 - 13:11 my favorite part(I think I like 12:37 the most because of the energy) although all of this is amazing
THIS SHOW IS SO POWERFUL AHHHH
I'm in begginer band and we play simple music, but every time we play as a group, it gives me a crazy adrenaline rush, so this must be like a heart attack.
ShadyCrescent93 keep that passion and use it. don’t be afraid to do new things. that feeling and that passion is what sets you aside from most of the other band kids. take it, expand it, and someday you can be in something like DCI.
Every one of those kids had the same feeling since beginning band, and it kept them going thru about 20,000 hours of practices to get to that level, just as it shall for you.
Omg I wish we could do something as good as this... omg this channel is waaay to underrated for your talents. Keep it up!
my high school uses that exact same xylo.
Abby Kuper What brand xylophone is it?
Abby Kuper mine too
my school uses that one too, i play it! :)
Same
Abby Kuper my middle school used that brand when I was there
Honestly, this will never get out of my head. Especially the fact that I am now getting into marching band stuff and just how amazing this is :D
Must be awesome being a Blue Devil, ay?
I could listen to this an entire day
Dont forget this.....
Battery percussuon: Battery and power of the band
Horn players: Sound of the band
Percussion: we basically the heart of the band
This is my favorite cam vid from this show
2:15 he said he’s finna bust because he bouta play an amazing dci performance
imagine editing because you made a typo totally not me
I got to say HOLY CRAP I wish out band was as amazing as this one. Even with what little you see, it feels like you there. Damn that was amazing. Amazing work you guys. 😄😍🤗
The man on drum set is grooving in flip flops
I remember seeing this live, BEST THING EVER

MrNicko OD what band are in?
MrNicko OD my drum line got 2 snares, 2 tenors, 3 basses, and 1 cymbal
Me being in Texas with 2 snares and 4 basses
Mine has 3 tenors, 4 snares, 4 bases and 2 cymbals
MrNicko OD we have 6 snares, 5 basses, 4 cymbals, and two tenors
Wow it sounds so beautiful! Gorgeous playing!
here I thought crotales were used in shows as a visual.
Nahtanoj Enotsylb hey man I played crotales/accessories for my HS band last year and it was fun, no hate on crotales 😤
How dull would you have to be to actually think that
Nahtanoj Enotsylb no offense but you have to be pretty dumb to think crotales are just “visuals”. That’s a pretty dumb visual.
Here i am completely mispronouncing "crotales"
Nope
Absolutely beautiful.
This is really nice work👍
This is why percussion is the best section
