      @@eleenprosser1577 Well Eleen - suspect the low spectator numbers were probably due to two things 1. it was VERY hot in London! and 2. this performance had been delayed for several weeks due to a stand collapsing. Hope you have watched the Mountbatten Festival of Music by the Royal Marines on TH-cam
      The 2022 Concert was amazing and you would enjoy it and the one before - played to an empty Hall due to covid. They are ALL highly trained on at least 3 instruments AND trained medics - besides being very fit too! Nothing like them - anywhere.

    Love the bit at 2.10 when they reform to take up the full width of the Mall.
    Very, very impressive when they march up towards the palace.
    I went to the Beating of the Retreat at Horseguards many years ago and have always wanted to go again.
    They are the best in the world, nobody can march and play like the Royal Marines, so smart.

    Wonderful. Please can someone explain (1) why the drummers continue moving sticks up and down even when silent (other instruments don’t pretend to blow etc when silent); (2) the guy in the leopard skin doing the fancy stuff with the sticks - is this some tradition? Is he playing as well as twiddling? Thanks.

      This comes from when drums where used to signalling orders on the battle field … the stick up was a break in words or orders . And the RM Bands have carried on the custom … on trooping the colour, there’s a part where the drummers call is performed … he ends with the sticks under the nose. And that’s the guards massed band

      Answering question No 2 of yours: they are percussionists (not buglers) and play tenor drums. The twirling of the mallets is called flourishing and the drums are actually played, however, since the bass and side drums are way louder, the tenors can’t really be heard, which is why the flourishing is mainly for visuals. Depending on the programme, the tenor drummers may have proper drum sticks on the side of the drum.

      It’s a matter of timing. The drumsticks are held there also to keep their hands ready rather than just just rest them on the drum. This would probably lead to mistiming in the start of the start up of them.😊

      @@keithrudd8003 Rubbish! The silent drumming was an amalgamation of our stick work , from giving drum orders and flamboyance. There is no proof we ever gave signals other than the sound of the drum!
