Great work EMC! With that stated, as the writer of "X-Factor" the edited film version, I will eventually post a breakdown of the cadence & further emphasize the rhythmic & melodic voicing of the cadence. Initially, X-Factor was/is part of an entire percussion feature that has over 273 measures with written marimba, xylophone, timpani & accessory percussion parts! My Brothers on The Morris Brown Drumline played the 1st 50 or so measures of the piece which had an HBCU marching drumline texture & feel to it. After the movie scored with such impact, further light was shined upon & overdue respect was given to prolific HBCU drumlines such as Norfolk St., North Carolina A&T, South Carolina St., Prairie View A&M, Alabama A&M, Alabama St., Pine Bluff Univ., Bethune-Cookman, North Carolina Central, Virginia St., Texas Southern, Howard Univ. as well as the young men Harv & Ralph from BYOS & many other MEAC & SWAC drumlines I haven't mentioned. It was my honor & joy to work & teach at Morris Brown College & help push open the door for other black colleges to get the proper due notice, acknowledgement & respect for our contributions to the art of marching percussion. I say this in all honor of humility & pride because I am a working class brother from Memphis, Tennessee who has a primary background in drum set studies & performance & I never envisioned myself writing a progressive marching drum cadence/full percussion feature in which the 1st 50 or so measures would end up being played in a film by the gifted young brothers at Morris Brown in Atlanta, GA! To all of the black colleges I mentioned previously, you all keep up the outstanding work & keep pushing total musical development! 💪👍🌟
I got to say "X-Factor" is so well written. The passage with the snare solo to to the tenor solo is just insane. One of my favorite cadences I've ever heard
@@drumline416 Thank You young man. I focus on hearing parts as a musician, not just as a drummer. I was fortunate to have an outstanding high school band director at Memphis Melrose High School named Paul Hill ("Pops") from 1981 to 1983 who consistently emphasized composition & arrangement.
@Josh Lewis I remember when this movie came out senior of high school 05-06 I had just applied to Morris Brown to get told the school was closed. Ended up going to Delaware state and being a member of the EOS drumline.
@Jahleel Eli The movie Drumline inspired me to take up percussion in all my school bands from 6th-10th grade. i didn't continue down that path but i cherish the memories i had from them trying to flip my drumsticks around and playing in class, all thanks to the film.
Aye man this was refreshing as hell to see man. Going to 2 HBCUs and marching snare for both, this is great lol. The fact that you actually took time to transcribe and play this out is great. Unity👏🏾
I'M PISSED this doesn't have well over 1 million views!! Videos like THIS deserve views like that. The amount of time to learn, transcribe and rehearse EACH PART and then film AND EDIT?!? You sir are an incredible creator lol and drummer! Much respect! 💜💜💜💜💜
Man, that must have taken forever. Transcribing eight minutes of music, practicing it, recording 13 different takes, and editing them all together. I’m especially impressed with the slight tempo adjustments in the final piece-all performed quite cleanly. I wouldn’t have the patience for that. But hats off to excellence!
It's nice to hear this clean instead of dirty like in the movie. I was friends for a while on FaceBook with an actual player who was in DrumLine 2. He was the one who started the fight in the second movie. He lives in Atlanta and teaches several schools. Nice guy and I quizzed him on Show Band lines compared to drum corps. I also asked him the value of the flub drums and small tom toms instead of several quad players. I tried getting him hooked up for endorsement with my high school/also drum corps friend Erick Johnson who founded, owns and president of Innovative Percussion. Kinda lost touch with him but it was cool contact while it lasted. Again glad to hear this clean!
Much much respect for the time and effort put into this. As a member of an HBCU Percussion section this was dope as hell man. Clean beats too! Lol I partially blame Hollywood for the movie not being so clean but it’s whatever. Love the content and looking forward to more!
Last respect shout out to: Mr. James Riles The 3rd & his young drum students at The Atlanta Drum Academy. You all keep this ol' man here motivated when I feel despair. Keep the craft moving forward young folks & student phenoms! 👍👍👍
Morris Brown won that battle hands down! I said that in middle school and I stand by it now 😂 but DUDE, great job on the transcription and execution. As a fan of both corps style and showband style I applaud you. You respect drumming in all forms and styles, that's dope to see and hear! Love your vids man, keep it up!!!!
@@knockerz3140 If you've ever heard a set of tenors in an HBCU drumline, it's cringe worthy. HBCU drumlines provide SO much entertainment and musical ability, I just wish their drums sounded better. I do have to admit, the old school (mylar maybe?) snare heads sound phenomenal when they're all tuned the same.
@@zbcochran1 considering the fact I’m in one I’d know lol. And I have experience amd am educated in both fields so you don’t gotta try to explain nothing to me😁
@@knockerz3140 I never said you weren't a member, and I never said you weren't educated in both styles. I'm sorry you took it that way. I'm not trying to explain anything to you, just stating how myself and many in the music community feel. There are many HBCU drumlines that are clean and sound phenomenal, but there are many that just don't seem to care how their drums sound.
Wow this was really awesome. For someone who grew up watching showstyle as a young kid and ended up learning and teaching corps style, this was just what I needed.
Drum line is my most favorite movie of all time. I known every scene by heart and every beat and stick trick. But u did everything super perfect 👌 respect
i've lost my vision sincethat movie has come out, and i have to say, i am very entertained by your 'cover' of the whole battle, including the deleted cadences. i miss doing stuff like this. thank you for such a fine performance, and if i'm being realistic, more solid than the original.
Nothing says “book study” like learning all the parts solidly and having to tediously record yourself executing each performance for each spot of your one-man drum line. Cheezus-criminy! Well-done sir. 👏👏👏👏By far my favorite marching percussionist. Keep rocking m’dude 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
I would love to see you take on those bass drum challenges where the one guy challenged the other guy and then later on, the other guy challenged him for a rematch and got his spot back. I, for one, am glad none of the bands I was part of were anywhere near as strict as the band is in the Drumline movie. I would never even consider being in a band like that.
So either he has excellent metronome or editing skills! 😂 I loved it man. I grew up poor and could never afford a drum or attend a Highschool with a band but I live vicariously through YT vids to get my percussion fix. Amazing video and beautiful composition man. ❤ 10/10
You Sir, are AMAZING!!! I marched Drum & Bugle Corps in the 70’s and 80’s ... Much respect to you! Thanks for the great video....better than the movie!
That was awesome. It was nice actually watching a drummer playing these parts too. I enjoyed this more than the movie. I always felt Morris brown would have won that drum battle too.
Man! That was fun to watch. Brought me back to my days of watching movie over and over looking to do this same thing ... yet I only got about 12% of the way this man just executed

As a former HBCU snare drummer…I have to give you mad respect…Great job.
This man either spends 34 hours editing every video or he has like 40 Identical siblings that all play drums.
I actually had the thought: "wow he must have had a hard time finding shirts for everyone." It has been a long year.
Or he is just crazy good at editing,
GOOD MORNING! Legend has it that he's got of D&B size drumline worth of identical siblings.
Or at an absolutely perfect covid-19 pastime.

@Tay Numbers SCSU and BCU
This solidified my thoughts of Morris brown winning that battle at the end
On chops alone? No doubt.
Morris brown might’ve been better. But A&T was smarter.
Nah man, EMC State University had it wrapped, but the vote to finals was stolen🤷🤣
Of course a&t had flashier movements thats how they won im sure
@@Tapda97 and it’s a movie…where the main character HAS to win
No social distancing, no masks. I dunno about this one eric
this has to become a meme format now. “drumline - final battle, but...”
I hope so, those videos would be gold
“Drumline- final battle but there’s no drums” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank You Josh.
Snare, Tenor, Bass, Cymbals
And Flubs!
May be a wooosh but I thunk those are supposed to be chest tenors or single tenors lol
@@g0lfl3fl3ur You're correct.

Imagine being any other instrument and having a whole competition decided by your percussion section😂😂
Broo!! I studied that whole movie when it came out and you were spot on! BRAVOOOOOO!!
Say what you want about the movie , but that cadence “Destruction “ just MFiing slaps. Now I gotta go listen to Outkast-Morris Brown
That first cadence/song Destruction is actually really effin cool. I might have to learn the music.
Gotta love how everyone be doing a sixteenth note groove until they realize the camera is on them, then they pull out some insane chops
Morris Brown already took it in the first cadence. Best in the entire movie.
Amazing. You have all my respect, sir, from one military bro to another 🙏🏾
You my friend. Showed me that there are certain parts I’ve been playing wrong my entire life lol. This is a masterpiece!!!
Your skills are supernatural bro💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
And to think I procrastinate getting little things done after watching this... This guys on another level
You don’t get paid enough to make such epicness. Hope you’re having a good morning
Man you’ve got some serious chops! Great job at editing!

Drum line is my most favorite movie of all time. I known every scene by heart and every beat and stick trick. But u did everything super perfect 👌 respect
The very first cadence played by Morris Brown is literally my favorite, it's so sick and the quints are nuts.
I always thought Morris Brown had the better pieces and played cleaner than Atlanta. First cadence is so iconic for me.
Great work you nailed it down to the body movements, while playing every instrument RESPECT.

I just happened to watch this movie the day you dropped this video. I hadn't seen it in 15 years. Great video.
Loved the battle and that is one movie I know word for word.
I’m still learning Drumline beats. Drumline is my second favorite movie. Top movies Terminator 2 Judgement Day, Drum Line, and The Dark Knight.
Are you kidding me right now! You transcribed all the cadences! Bro are you a GOD?!?!? Thank you so bad ass
Brings back some many memories. Watching the movie countless times to depict the cadences.
Snare will forever the my favorite
That was awesome. It was nice actually watching a drummer playing these parts too. I enjoyed this more than the movie. I always felt Morris brown would have won that drum battle too.
There was more complex drumming in this movie than I realized nice transposing
That’s one of the best I’ve seen yet! Every note and hand motions were on point!!👏👏👏
Loved the Flub Intro in Hidden Cadence #2
This is pretty good. Only thing missing is the cymbal solo, attitude and swag. Great job!
Hey man this is so well done and well edited. Very impressed and entertained I've literally watched beginning to end a few times and haven't left yet.
Man! That was fun to watch. Brought me back to my days of watching movie over and over looking to do this same thing ... yet I only got about 12% of the way this man just executed
Good job on the tenor drum solo .that was one of are solo we play all the time. high school days
Hidden cadence #2 is a watered down version of the 1992 Madison Scouts drumbreak
You’re an amazing talented musician. Keep up the solid work.
This sounds so much cleaner than what we heard in the movie.
Respect, My guy. you got mad chops.
