- Originally designed by George Zingali, the Z Pull was a drill move that thrust Drum Corps into a new age. Originally drum corps used symmetrical/geometrical shapes on the field and then slowly morphed into asymmetrical/linear drill. However, a drill move like this had never been seen before...
Fun Fact - 1990 is more of a Z-Pull Fake Out but I included it anyway
The 2000 clip's drill move is borderline...overall it isn't a Z-Pull....but inside the box is a "mini z-pull."
The Z Pull, aka the GE Printer
I was 12 years old when I saw the Garfield Cadets for the first time in my life at the Manning Bowl in Lynn, MA. No one had ever seen or heard anything like what they served up. When the Z-Pull started at the end of the Rocky Point opener the audience erupted into pandemonium. The stadium literally shook as the crowd leaped to our feet and jumped up and down. I’ll never forget how the 83 Cadets made me feel then as a 12-year-old boy. I later got to be a Cadet from 1989 to 1992. I still get emotional every time I see the 83 vid. FHNSAB!

I was on the very end of the Z-pull in 1984. I covered a lot of ground. In 1984, we marched mostly on grass fields. One night in London Kentucky, we marched the day after a monster truck show, I think. And the grass was very high, with mud. That was not fun. But at Finals in Atlanta, remember the end of the show in 1984 with people leaping out of their seats. That was something I'll also never forget!
Forever Iconic…
Rest In Peace Cadets.
I'm so glad I was able to make a part of Cadets history with 2021. Definitely the best year of my life so far
Even though I marched DCI in '83 & got to watch their show several times, my favorite Z-Pull has to be the 1990 version.
I'm partial to the 1994 version, but next to the original, I have to admit the 90 version is the best.
I loved how on the VHS the crew showed how fast they were running in 97. LITERALLY RUNNING while playing full out. But I loved how the Cadets brought back the classics for this years show. Kudos to them for recognizing what's missing.
I was in the baritone line of the 1994 Z-Pull. So proud to be a part of it!
I marched 2nd Trumpet in Cadets 2000.
Greatest drill move of all time by the greatest corps of all time. Goosebumps. Every. Time. Thank you for posting.
Did they really never March a Z-Pull between 2003 and 2015? That's wild.
There’s a slightly hidden one in 2005 in the pre-show section. They missed that one.
@@alexcart7 ahh okay, I'll have to check that one out!
Jeff hid quite a few small ones in several shows. Right off of my head 2010, 2011, and 2013. He also did a few collapsing Z's that aren't exactly the same thing but definitely a cool nod to the Z pull!
Too busy with the Zone in 05-06

You know, I've watched almost all of the shows (my knowledge of 80's DCI is a bit limited), and I've never noticed that move as something that was a thing done year over year. Thank you for putting this together and pointing that out, that's a cool concept. Also, can we talk about those 2108 uniforms and never going back to that??? 😂
50th anniversary season? You know they’re pull it out in awesome Cadet style, hopefully w a little twist! Can’t wait for the ‘22 season to roll!!!
It took me 30+ years to pick up it, but in the '84 pull, the first soprano you see is me.
At 0:57 it's kinda cool that the drumline does their own "mini z pull" as well
Ironically, I feel like the 2000 version was best.
I wonder if it's the sound of the crowd, it's insane that year. #eastcoast. the end of 2000 never ceases to amaze and emotionally move me, every single time i hear it.
This has been controversial among my friends, but I met George in 1980-81 while staying at the Lancer corps hall in Revere. I can remember being at a party at George's an he was always coming up with ideas to share. Some outrageous!
I swear I heard him call it an "S" pull.
Just sayin'
It’s an S in 85
Well it is most often referred to as the Z-Pull...but I also figured since the last name of the designer, Zingali, started with a Z...that might have something to do with it
It starts as a Z, then finishes as an S. I am not so sure it has anything to do with George's last name. I ended up playing in the pit for the Boston Crusaders and aged out in that magical year of 1984. I didn't see George for a long time after that and he was very sick the last time I saw him and one drill move was not on my mind. I loved that guy. So many people did. He never forgot you once he met you. I am a better human being from his friendship. ✌️❤️🎶🎵😎
In the 1983 Championship edition of Drum Corps World, the author refers to it as “the magnificent S-pull move.” It’s what we called it until somebody (?) started saying “Z.”
Wow, never even realized some of these were z pulls
Love this channel! Perhaps a video idea; The cadets kick
Great idea but how often did they do it?
Right off the top of my head, I know there is a leg kick in 2000 after they play each other’s instruments and in 2004 after a trumpet feature.
2024: " "
:_(
So cool to see phantom regiment take up the mantle and do it this year
RIP Cadets. FHNSAB
The reverse Z pull is why I'm here.
Floreat in aeternum, Cadets. You will never be forgotten!
There’s one in Appalachian Spring (‘87) after the end of the sustained fast section. It’s more of a transitional moment.
Rocky Point Holiday…still my favorite show to perform ever.
I love how by 1990 after just seven years, it's already so famous that they're teasing the fans with it. Love the fake z-pull
That chromatic influenced hours of practice to become a Cadet. I was 10.
Did I say hours? I meant 10,000 hours.
Love the vids. Maybe do some sick drill move videos for the future :)
HOW could you forget 1985?
it is very hard to watch these fine young people's recordings. So many questions yet to be answered. Mostly, why does a rich tradition such as The Cadets have to come to an end. Just because of mistakes on a very small number of individuals ?
The money is gone......
I’m the name of George Zingalli himself.
Other and 83, I feel 90 and 03 were the better remixes of the Z Pull. Who ever the visual designer was, made the Z Pull formation their own by adding some extra sprinkle to the drill. Which the audience obviously liked. Hell impress me add a double Z Pull adding the guard.
I loved the musical tension and release in 1990 with the chromatic scale. . I wonder who thought that one up.
They play rocky point holiday more than Madison scouts play malagueña

2:46 stretching...stretching...stretching....wow...that is stretched!
Guy in the middle: this is very hard
Love the 1990 version the most
Where is the z fold to a reverse z fold from the 1990 show?
1:13
1st here
Bb/F, mics and pit are so obnoxious.
Why the re-upload?
Because the one he had before didn't include 1997 or 2000. Those are Z pulls as well.
@@TheRailwayDrone ah
Yep yep, I couldn’t believe I forgot a few and it was too many to ignore
@@Sforzando_DCI I only brought it up because I marched Cadets 2000 ;-)
@@Sforzando_DCI actually missed a small one in 2013 as well haha
*Uh, that last one wasn't really a Z-pull...*
Are you talking about 2000?
If you're talking about 2021, it was. Flomarching just sucks at recording stuff lol
the footage that was used (FloMarching) just chose to cut to the pit instead of showing high cam, which is why you didn't see the Z part of the pull
Meh. 97 is still the best one! Only cause I was in it!
I'm sorry for your loss.......
As I watched this video, I loved remembering "Oh, I'm IN it." 97 forever, babe.
