So... That was almost 7 minutes of my life I absolutely do not regret spending on an unexpectedly impressive performance! Never heard of them, not really into this kinda thing usually, but anyone not impressed by this is not human! Incredibly well synchronized, super disciplined, just an all around amazing, fun to watch and pleasant to the ears performance! Well done, my Swiss friends! 🙂💙🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🥁🥁🥁
I wonder if those guys weren't sweating jelly beans for fear they might make a mistake and blow the whole thing. The fact that this was a "live" performance where the variables of just about anything could have gone wrong are incalculable! Yes, practice makes perfect and creates confidence, but these guys aren't machines. Well done, Gentlemen!!!
@@alexhungerford Stateside, the Blue Devis drum line are the only thing that comes remotely close to these guys. HBCU drumlines are not at drum a bugle core level such as the Blue Devils, note even close, and these cats overseas are at an entire other level compared to stateside drum and bugle cores.
@@Selmerpilot I'll give you the HBCU comment. But these guys are a level below what's being done in DCI, WGI, DCA. You can't compare an exhibition line to a competition line. Even the US Marine Corps Drum & Bugle Corps line is at a higher level than this.
Absolutely Top Class! Mesmerising, skilful, i could go on! I have seen these guys live at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo and i was spellbound , still am!
I was in The Trinity Cadets Junior Drum & Bugle Corp back in the 60’s in upstate New York when I was 9 years old. I started out in the drum line then onto 1st Soprano horn and then Drum Major in my 6th and final year. We sponsored a Senior Drum & Bugle Corp competition every year. It was an amazing time in my life. Everyone needs to attend a Senior Drum & Bugle Corp in person vs on line, etc., because it’s a show that you’ll never forget.
I also marched in a junior corps in the late 60's. I was in the Blue Angels out of Brooklyn. I was in the flag line and worked my way up to rifle. Going to see a senior corps show was always so exciting.
Saw the Military Tattoo show last summer (2023) while visiting Scotland. Just jaw-dropping wonderful with the Edinburgh Castle as a backdrop. Magical!!!
I've been watching Top Secret videos for years now, and you never cease to amaze. The talent, creativity, choreography and visuals are simply stunning!
Who designs this? A choreographer? A conductor? A drill sergeant? I have absolutely no idea where that level of precision and dedication starts. Well done!
I’m not sure but as a previous drumline captain usually there is choreography We may do it ourselves, do an arrangement of a piece or do our best to replicate like one does with any musical piece. Some places have an instructor that assists some do not, some it’s part of the leading officers role to design or teach the choreography. Sometimes drum majors are like the head of the band depending if it’s full or the drumline. If it’s the line alone they have a captain who leads. Most often they lead on tenors (quads) or snare but it depends on the line. I actually chose the largest bass but I played all. One of my favourite lines of all time, the captain/drum major actually chose to play the cymbals. When with the entire band he was lead conductor essentially and another could fill in on cymbals from the pit but marching in he always had either a baton or his cymbals and if was QUITE the performance. On line he could fill any position and his cymbals gave him that versatility. Yeah as much as I love military precision, it will never rival a southern predominantly black school. In low income schools they often teach themselves to read/write/play instruments, march, manage their finances/resources/transportation and truly bring an outstanding and unique performance. It’s the only time I’ve ever seen people come to games to watch a band and then leave when they are done. The sense of community, competition, passion they have for their craft is unmatched and truly has lead to some of the most fabulous shows I’ve ever seen in competition. Usually they are marked down quite literally for their uniforms, music choice (an arrangement they have made likely popular hits and crowd pleasers) and non traditional choreography…so basically everything that makes them absolutely fantastic and shows their talent and pride in their work. So it really depends! Who knows maybe they had someone make it all up! I can say it’s certainly fun to do 😁 besides even planned choreography can have added twists and risks that make a more creative and interesting performance for the crowd. After all, it’s meant to entertain! We had a very short and very tall quad player, one song had a quad duet break in it so we wanted to do something crazy for it as it was their last year with us. We had the short player hang upside down from the tall guys shoulders and play upside down and the tall guy carry him and continue to march in formation switching from forward to back depending on who was playing and then our Cymbalist picked up the drums for a measure, tall guy bent over, short guy dismounted with a FLIP, and in a rotation back to formation the cymbalist (also quite tall) just plopped him back in harness. It was WILD 😂. That was so much fun. It’s just messing around with a metronome and the same measures/music until you get it perfect every time and work out the kinks. Honestly not that different than my time with ballet or gymnastics. They just do it until it works or they figure out something that does.
My dad and aunt and myself all spent time in drum corps including traveling and competition but that was best the best I've ever seen. The ending with the bass and snare together was truly unique and mesmerizing...it's the kind of video that makes you put down the phone after so you can deal with what you just watched...
Jak byłam mała,o śpiewałam taka piosenkę. Raz dobosz zuch szedł sobie ulicami i bił za dwóch w swój bęben pałeczkami. Królewna gdy dobosza zobaczyła różyczki trzy z balkonu mu rzuciła A do tych róż swe serce przywiązała,bo się już w nim prawdziwie zakochała. Cudowny występ.pozdrowienia z Polski,chociaż trochę czasu minęło od występu.
Well Done!! Absolutely Incredible!! That was fantastic!! They were flawless. I can’t say enough about how impressive their performance was!! I wish I had seen it in person.🇨🇦❤
Präzision - wie eben ein Schweizer Uhrwerk! Einfach nur 1. Klasse und immer wieder sehenswert! Gänsehaut pur! Weiterhin viel Erfolg! Bleiben Sie alle gesund!
Olympians all of them! That was on another level. As I was watching I thought add a strobe light piece so they appear to be frozen would be great. These well synched group of perfectionist are awesome. Thank you!
I clapped, and its video, WOW that was fun, those guys are going to remember forever how cool that was. SO much power focused into a dance with the drum. Like any great artist they channeled the same energy. It got me out of my head and connected with the mystic.
..or any music video or advertisment, but something by real people, there at the time, them, showing their skills, their love, in honor to the audience & the/a sport's (or any other event) wider 'self'...
This was very impressive and a joy to watch ..the talent these young people have blows my mind.I also love the colors of your flag...same colours as my Canadian flag.
I have got to say that tease, fantastic musicians, and singers. It’s heartbreaking. I am a disabled vets 100% and it brings almost tears to my eyes. Love y’all.
I am veeery impressed by their syncronity, exact timing and fancy hands performance. I know why the drum has such a magic impact on humans in every style or cult.
I have great memories of the Edinburgh Tattoo about 20 years ago when the Top Secret Drum Corps first performed there. Simply blown away as was everyone on that glorious night. I just love them 👏👏👏
Amazing disciplin and precision.. wow.. totally magnificent performance.. Respect to you all.. and Thank you for sharing.. I so loved watching this video 💕✌️💕
I guess if you never fight lots of time for practice, No just stirring, this was truly an dincredible effort, and deep respect for the skill and practice involved. Enjoyed immensely.
What an incredible performance! Throughout the whole seven minutes, I did not see one drumstick out of sync. Without TH-cam I would have never had the absolute pleasure of seeing these guys highlight their drum proficiency. I have seen the Japanese Kudo (?) drummers on a world tour and this group is at least as good as they are. If they are not already doing so, they should go on tour. I would love to see them in person.

No wonder the Swiss make such great watches; their timing is impeccable.
😅😅😅😅
Except, these are Scots
If you hear more than one drum it's not impeccable... And I hear many
Drumroll....

I've been watching these guys for years-they are top tier!
@@1oldcrow350 I've watched several more of their videos now and I couldn't agree more! They are insanely talented! 🙂💙
Ich (77) bin sprachlos über dieses Können. BRAVO! !!!
I have no idea what weird TH-cam algorithm brought me here, but thank you weird TH-cam algorithm. That was incredible and mesmerizing.
It was your hat
It was good and makes me miss college foot slightly less...
Cheers
Same
That weird algorithm also dropped Marble Music on my feed ... today has been wonderful!! 🥰😘💥
"It's not my day job, but I still practice a lot and I guess I am pretty good at it." Can be said by all of these epic performers.
Maybe it's not as hard as it looks. 😁
@@themoonandstars1seems unlikely but yeah.... Maybe
The hours of practice must have been rough. What a perfect performance. Bravo.
And they are not „professionals“ like they habe regular jobs beside !!!

it brought me to tears.
I've seen some amazing drum lines and fife and drum corps in my 60 years on this planet.
Top Secret is a feast for the eyes and the ears.
It was a delight and an honor to get to see Top Secret in person in 2022. A stunning performance!
Absolutely Top Class! Mesmerising, skilful, i could go on!

I like the new routine. First I’ve seen a new video in a while. Got unsubbed and didn’t notice till just now.
That was the fastest 6 minutes ever - I wasn't ready for it to end!
What a performance! The glow in the dark part was awesome!
Not a Vegas show. These are honorable people to be honored. Period.

Simply SWISS ❤
It’s a secret
It's amazing how the drum line has been passed across so many cultures, all putting their touch on artistic beats that move the human soul.
This is one of those performances, which may have its peers, but stands below no other in what it tries to achieve. One of those you remember ⭐️

Yes that blew me away, props to the choreographers and drummers both!
Saying "wow" doesn't seem like enough, but WOW! I'm so impressed!!
Wow, once every year i search for "top secret corps" and i never get disappointed. It gets better every time. keep on going!!!!
Every time I watch this it makes me smile bigtime! I appreciate the amount of practise this must have taken…

Totally one of the best performances from last year's show. 😊
Bravo, Bravo, Bravo ✌👍👏👏👏👏
That is some of the best drum corp stuff I've ever seen.
I've never seen synchronized drumming as good.
They're amazing
You should check out Drum Corps International drumming. It’s incomprehensible what they do
Fantastisch! 🎭
Was für eine absolut Atemberaubendende Performance.
When you march out with drums rolling, you aren't leaving. You are taking the party with you.
What a credit to their regiment these drummers are, and what a great example of discipline, practice and teamwork! Brilliant performance!
I was amazed by their performance, until the sticks glow, I. Am. In. Awe! 😮😮😮😮 Woowww!!!!!
Well Done!! Absolutely Incredible!! That was fantastic!! They were flawless. I can’t say enough about how impressive their performance was!! I wish I had seen it in person.🇨🇦❤
Präzision - wie eben ein Schweizer Uhrwerk! Einfach nur 1. Klasse und immer wieder sehenswert!

The amount of fking skill and talent and time putninto to every performs is amazing. Been my favorite to watch for years!

Things that make you say "WOW", simply because they leave you dazzled and at a loss for words.
Wow 👌 I salute each and every one of you !!!! This is probably the best 6 mins and 45 seconds I've ever had in my life !!!!!
Das ist der HAMMER !!!
Die Jungs sind SUPER !!!
Dankeschön ❤❤❤
This is the kind of entertainment they should half at half time at the Super Bowl…not some bad hip hop music.
Agreed!
Second that
..or any music video or advertisment, but something by real people, there at the time, them, showing their skills, their love, in honor to the audience & the/a sport's (or any other event) wider 'self'...
I agree 100%. I have not watched a halftime show in over 15 years
There is a video of a silence military marchers at a pro football game, jackass football players went on field during performance! Such losers.
Amazing!!!! Such precision. Beautiful and difficult. These men are highly skilled.
Watching and listening to them just gives me chills. They’re awesome!!
The best drum corps in the world
Eh. Heard better
@@CommentCorrector I'm talking about the synchronized stick work, not the music
@@roberteckhardt6653 👍 weird. But ok
@@CommentCorrector lol
I don’t see how this group is better than Drum Corps International groups
This was very impressive and a joy to watch ..the talent these young people have blows my mind.I also love the colors of your flag...same colours as my Canadian flag.
They all have day jobs too.
I smile every time I see the basses doing the stick visuals with the snares.
I plan to catch the performance in Norfolk (VA) next April.
Hey, when and where is that? I would travel to attend.
All from Basel, Switzerland ❤
Stunning, impeccable performance. Thanks for posting.
We were there in the crowd - even more thrilling live - absolutely amazing 🤩
I don’t care who you are……these guys rock!!
In the 1970s I was a member of the squires and then the Velvet nights after turning 16. This really brings back memories
These guys are INCREDIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I look forward to watching them every year and this year was probably one of the best..loved it!!
Wow.... SO. Frickin. Awesome!!! I could watch this over and over! Reminds me of the good old days of high school, but like WAY better lol
From an absolutely brilliant start, to an ongoing a crescendo of prowesses ending on mesmerising show of lights and rythm.
Brilliant simply Brilliant !!
The entire show was Genius (watched it twice)
Completely amazing. Never a dull moment. Kept me completely engaged the entire video. Dare I say “perfection”???
each time I see a performance I am just amazed. One day I will make it to Edinburgh to see them.
You may as well come to Basel because that's their home. Just look for the Basel Tattoo.
I have got to say that these guys are amazing. I like the drums, but I could never compare to these guys. They’re fantastic.
Like to add to that that not only are they fantastic but the way they handle the sticks and never miss a beat. It’s like unbelievable. Good job guys.
I have got to say that tease, fantastic musicians, and singers. It’s heartbreaking. I am a disabled vets 100% and it brings almost tears to my eyes. Love y’all.
This guys probably eat Swiss precision watches for breakfast. 😂
I am veeery impressed by their syncronity, exact timing and fancy hands performance. I know why the drum has such a magic impact on humans in every style or cult.
PERFECTION 🎆
I'm watching this pristine performance , noticed I was mesmerized not breathing. ✌️❣️
Absolutely amazing! Discipline and precision must take years to achieve!
Absoluten Respekt vor dieser Leistung!!!😊
Absolutely amazing! So clean, their lines are so perfect throughout, love the special effects!!!
Perfección!!!! Me encanta el sonido de tambores y esta presentación es increíble!
Wow, just wow. This performance was outstanding absolutely brilliant.
Oh my gosh what awesome guys, our future Thank you ❤❤❤😊
Eine absolut tolle Show und diese PRÄZISION ...

Spectacular!! Well done young men!!
A magnificent display. I was you twice at Tattoo and play your performance many times. I just love drums. Thank uou.
I am blown away. Magnificent!
I'm speechless. Gonna watch it again.
Ok, call me stupid, or overly emotional. But for some reason seeing drum corps perform always gets me worked up a bit.
Spectacular. Such precision. Wow!
I guess if you never fight lots of time for practice, No just stirring, this was truly an dincredible effort, and deep respect for the skill and practice involved. Enjoyed immensely.
Wow, was für eine grandiose Darbietung!

I believe that this is an honor, not a show.
Absolutely fantastic !! Wow just wow! I am fascinated by their talent 💕
Amazing and awesome - Perfect precision and sound 🥰
