@@Speakzzzdid he say the number one or the best on whole universe .so what what other drumline you know that is better than them look at the choreography and formation some drumline didn't do most of that and also the sync they all done it correctly just so clesn no clunging or shaking in drums or bumpbing if you talking about the sound it's sound good too can you even play it? I've been into DBC
Was lucky enough to see that performance live. No wonder they are the ONLY non-military group invited to play at the Edinburgh Tattoo. Remarkable stuff!
A few civilian pipe bands have made it to Edinburgh. The New Zealand Invercargille and Caledonian pipe bands have been a part of the massed pipes and drums. In otherwords if you are good enough group you can make it to the Tattoo.
I just watched that and if I watched it again 50 times, I don't think I'd be able comprehend all of what was going on there! I've been playing the drums for well over 50 years and I still can't get my eye to catch all of what my ears are hearing. The Bass Drummers are incredible as well. They work so perfectly in sync that they get some of the coolest drum rolls from those things with only the use of a single left or right hand movement. However, the other bass drum players are each doing the same thing but at precisely a beat before, or after. The result is some very cool drum rolls that would be difficult with two hands by one drummer, let alone, one hand by many! Just OUTSTANDING! My wife was an Aggie graduate and used to love to go see the drum core exhibitions. I wish she was alive to see this one. It would have certainly been the best she's ever seen, I'm sure. Rich
In a swiss military orchestra Drums are always in the first line. The Drums and the fifres (flute) were the instrument of our ancestor mercenary, the swiss mercenaries were the only "army" who played music in battles.
+Sirijan Wittmer; Only army? Rubbish! The Scottish regiments always marched into battle with the pipe-bands leading. Napoleon was reported to fear them the most since his men didn't always stand firm awaiting their nerve-racking approach which could be heard 30 miles away getting nearer and nearer at the 'quick march' step. Please detail the famous battles where Swiss mercenaries played any significant role. Defending the Pope in Rome hardly counts. You are watching the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Didn't you know that during the Tattoo, pipe bands from every corner of the world are honouring the enduring musical influence of the fearsome Scottish warriors?
GSSkipper I mean in central Europe a long time ago. The time before Napoleon and all of those stuff. when the Olds kings of France were afraid of the swiss mercenary. The Flags, The drums and the fifres are in our traditions. Sure it's not very know because people don't have interest in the Switzerland culture.
A long time ago? Perhaps we could include the time when the Romans, at the height of their power throughout Europe, sent an army to invade and conquer Scotland. It vanished with not one survivor. The Romans then built two walls to try to keep the Scots from invading England. Also, if you saw Mel Gibson's film 'Brave Heart' (95% true), you will have witnessed the defeat of a large English army by the Scots for the fist time after 300 years of almost total European dominance.
Top Secret takes no prisoners. They have what it takes to make their audience their fans want more. Not just showmanship and cool moves they display those drum sounds that are clean accurate and all of their shows have a beginning a middle thats adds and adds and then for the grand finale they provide solid musicianship. Like them or Not I would really vote them as the most entertaining drum line out there.
The choreography, the discipline, and the absolute attention to the finest detail, added up to perfection (even with the dropped drumstick). Loved it. Could watch them for hours! ❤️
Wow, it must be difficult to keep a drum corp Top Secret. Where do they practice? What do they tell people they are doing with bulky drums and fancy outfits? I must know.
Fantastic!!!! Everyone who played drums knows how important coordination is, but these are many, many levels above the usual ..... thanks to you all the great drummers in this youtube video, with high regard
Such a outstanding performance by a world-class renowned drum team. Their new uniforms were absolutely spot on and they looked so professionally as new role models. #Amazing #Outstanding #Wow-Factor Congratulations!! #TeamTSDC
The Dick Tracy fedoras were a fail..... women's fashion from the beginning late 1880's. Prince Edward of Wales first made them popular with males in 1920s. Then prohibition gangsters wore them. Far from 1490s clothing attires.
Love these guys so much! I saw them on the final performance, which was a completely clean performance with no dropped sticks at all! And it was a slightly different routine, probably because they had no cameramen at all on the ground which made it easier for them to spread out.
I've been around drum lines since 1958, and this is the most ( excuce me) fucking unbelievable thing I have ever witnessed. the part where it looked like they turned their sticks into fifes is just just I don't know. I can't find a word, whatever is more awesome than awesome itself. that's how I would describe top secret. TOP SECRET!!!
ShutuP ! There I a video of top secrecy doing a drum line battle with the blue devils drum line, and in that you can clearly how much worse the devil drum line is compared to professionals
Absolutely amazing! ......Watching the Top Secret Drum Corps from Switxerlan I felt totally ‘hypnotised’ such skill and discipline and as they perform they just get better.....WOW!
Their show reminds me of the Marines from Henderson Hall's sword show at Torchlight Tattoo on the tidal basin in Washington, DC. Such a tight group! Not only is their drumming close to absolute perfection, their theatrics are charming and unique! Their fife playing's not half bad either. I would've given my eye teeth to see this show live. Absolutely phenomenal!!!!
Fantastic performance. Precision. Class. And the stick swapping was excellent. I'm calling this to the attention of friends who will appreciate what it takes to pull together a performance like this.
Its a very top notch fancy version of army cadets, drill lines and marching are basic and they get "drilled" into their head until its second nature, the drumming is a whole other story
They put the "close" in close order drill... with drums. Astounding choreography. God only knows how many hours of practice it takes, to reach this level of precision...
Top Secret Drum Corp are one of the best bands ever even though never saw them play but love listening to their music and they are good talented musicians
you people are brilliant......I go to your presentations about once every month......just to get charged up for my day..........congratulations to your vigor and dedication.................wonderful.......come to Canada?
I loved the desplay most certinly indeed- and the Ivory drum sticks with the mettle in the middle caught me by suprize happlt so though. Its a good one💪
Oh! I wish I could see a performance like this one day not to mention the whole Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle - would be amazing- doubt it will happen for me at my age and a few health issues but one can dream about seeing it live 🥰👍🏻🇦🇺
parabens,. a melhor execusao do mundo, que eu ja vi, valeu apena eu viver ate hoje ,, pra ver e curitis os melhores do mundo com presisoes maximas na fas e fa com eficiencias capacidade sabedorias, deixando muitas alegrias,,,, Parabens a todosssssss
I was at one of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo performances that year - I don't know whether this was recorded the day I was there, but given how precise these lads are it'd be too hard to tell the difference!
EVERY time I see a performance, I'm STILL impressed by it. Timing, precision, EVERYTHING is just perfect.
Eh not the best drum line on the planet. But man that was a technically challenging book they had

Me also, these guys are amazing.
It would be sacrilege not to invite them. The exhibition of discipline, training and talent is every bit the equal of any military band.
A few civilian pipe bands have made it to Edinburgh. The New Zealand Invercargille and Caledonian pipe bands have been a part of the massed pipes and drums. In otherwords if you are good enough group you can make it to the Tattoo.
But most of them, if not everyone, served or still serves in the military.
They are not. There are planty of non military drum groups at the tattoo
I’ve seen The Top Secret Drum Corps live and many times on TV and DVD, I am always mesmerised by their skills, they are ACE!

Right this old woman cant either
Add drumming to the list of things the Swiss are amazing at

The sole reason for being at the Edinburgh Tattoo this year. Brilliant! x
Saw these guys perform at the virginia international tattoo in 2015 and that was the best performance at the tattoo ive ever seen to this day
To become anything else besides One! . Nothing can compare! 50 + years now watching and growing up around drum and bugle core-!! I love you all!!

6 years Later. Still Goosebumps. Insane Top Secret. Insane
Fantastic!!!!

- Where do they play next week?
- Sorry, Top Secret...
Von allen Drum Corps die ich bisher im Internet fand, sind die Schweizer meine Favoriten, beste!
I've spent eight years in the US Army (veteran), and I can truly say their discipline and precision is 110%. God Speed...
I never tire of seeing Top Secret perform. Perfection. It's amazing what these people achieve.
I would die a happy man if I saw this live. Stunning.
It’s far from perfect, but fun to watch for sure
@@TopDrumCorpsyeah there’s a lotta dirt but it’s alright

There was one dropped stick actually
There's a few on the ground

They did this realy in Basel this is calked a picolo
Ich liebe dich auch .
kenneth kunie top secret sucks, check out dci, you will be fully blown away
Shame these aren’t military, imagine these doing a performance before an army went into battle, or showing off in front of the enemy 😂😂
ShutuP ! There I a video of top secrecy doing a drum line battle with the blue devils drum line, and in that you can clearly how much worse the devil drum line is compared to professionals
love the play fighting, really good showmanship, looking for more recent performance

The most brilliant drumming you will ever hear it sends goosebumps down my spine every time. Bravo.
Fantastic performance. Precision. Class. And the stick swapping was excellent. I'm calling this to the attention of friends who will appreciate what it takes to pull together a performance like this.
These guys are so clean!! Every move is precisely done!! So much practice had to go into this!!
You can only imagine the sheer discipline required to pull this off. It's insane.
Its a very top notch fancy version of army cadets, drill lines and marching are basic and they get "drilled" into their head until its second nature, the drumming is a whole other story
The precision of a Swiss watch. Awesome coordination of the group. There is no second to them as they are in a class of their own.
Extraordinary discipline, rehearsal, and commitment!
These men are an inspiration to musicians everywhere.
This is such a wonderful group! I wish I could see them live, sometime!
You have pleased Odin. That was killer. Viking Drummer loves you!
Looks like we have an Amon Amarth fan on our hands
They put the "close" in close order drill... with drums. Astounding choreography. God only knows how many hours of practice it takes, to reach this level of precision...
Stunning, absolutely brilliant!
never ceases to disappoint. amazing every single time
Incredible discipline and brilliant performance from every single one of them :)
Top Secret Drum Corp are one of the best bands ever even though never saw them play but love listening to their music and they are good talented musicians
They aren’t even close to the best, BUT they are very fun and entertaining to watch
Coming from a land famous for its precision watches, this level of perfection is to be expected.
Ihr seit der absolute Drummer Hammer...tiptop...nonplusultra 💯
Love watching these guys. My grandma came from Switzerland so I wonder if any of them might be lost cousins.
May bei WHO knew. What was your grandmas Girl Name?
OUTSTANDING!!! Keep on!!!! Keep on!!!! They make all of us Drum Corps people proud!!!
Since the Swiss never get into any wars their military do have more time to train in the band :D hehehe, just kidding, great performance as always
funny since no one from this band is in the military
Actualy The could bei. Gut The drumm Line IT self has nothing to so with military
@@tyshia0426 do i know you?

Can't get enough of these guys :D
This was magnificent. I was blessed to be there and actually see this!
Notre Dame commencement ceremony
Absolutely love these guys. I'm from Pennsylvania, USA and Top Secret puts our drum line to shame. We got nothing on these guys.
Bravo Bravo 🙌 Echt super ... Mega gut gemacht und vor allem im Einklang
swiss may not have a navy... but they surely drum the hell out of enemy soldiers :D
oh but we do have a navy... www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/ch-navy.htm

Best drum line ever, hands down! 😊
That was freakin Amazing!!!!!! ❤
So FANTASTIC, I'm absolutely a big fan of them.
I loved the desplay most certinly indeed- and the Ivory drum sticks with the mettle in the middle caught me by suprize happlt so though. Its a good one💪
Oh! I wish I could see a performance like this one day not to mention the whole Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle - would be amazing- doubt it will happen for me at my age and a few health issues but one can dream about seeing it live 🥰👍🏻🇦🇺

😂😂😂😂😂
hahaha
🤣🤣🤣👍
Saw them tonight at the Edinburgh tattoo, they were mesmerising and flawless.
It must be real weird being on the end and having to play on air when they go on each other's drums
I also want to see the guys on the end who have to catch before they throw when tossing drumsticks
I'm from United States at Mississippi. Love these guys 💕
Bass drums giving me goose bumps
Thank you, Pure Gold !
Swiss Pride ah yea.
+wotsit294 But they are swiss... you see the big red flag with the white cross ?
+NeverenCH I don't think that is a country that needs any more pride than it has.
I was at one of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo performances that year - I don't know whether this was recorded the day I was there, but given how precise these lads are it'd be too hard to tell the difference!
Unbelievable!!
Pure talent and lots of discipline and hard work.
I still come back to this video every few months it just seems so unreal
OMFG !!! i cried !!,,... yes the talent made me cry...:)
Completely brilliant. Great showmen all. Applause!
Swiss precision is not a myth ;)
Me and my wife have been to watch these at edinburgh tattoo and it is an amazing experience
Back in my school days our drum team was luckty if they could walk and play at the same time, let alone co-ordinate like that.;}}
Yeah. I'm doing good just to walk and chew gum at the same time.
The Top Secret really are the Drums in perfection👌🏻😍👏🏻
very cool, especially the end
Impresionante !! Saludos desde
G U A T E M A L A 🇬🇹
I've never seen such brilliance that was amazing
They are mesmerizing! Enthralling! Wonderful precision performance. Mor power to you.
Als we het over kunst hebben.
The best drumcorps EVER.
Perfection and synchronization! 👍
the drumstick/flutes blew my mind....
Absolutely amazing.... I could watch this all day. Semper Fidelis, Captain T, U.S.M.C. God bless them all from Las Vegas, NV USA.
They're really good. They should be declassified. :)
Fantastic. Where can I buy the sticks with the flute?
Top secret ? Did they not see the guy holding the hd camera following them ?
holy crap, the video quality. its so good!
4:08 Chuck Norris, is that you? No wonder they killed this performance on a whole nother level
Wa-ching Chu I think Chuck Norris. Lol
Always perfect thanks guys your the best !!

The Art of Drumming.
Amazing to watch in Precision .
Imagine dropping your stick at that moment 😂
I would love to see a show. They are definitely the best and are very creative in their style.
2:55 WHO DROPPED A STICK!?

amazing need to see them next year, one off my bucket list
perfekt...super
These guys are the absolute best in the whole world and they should be with all the time they spend practicing.
