What’s so complicated about nineteenth-century warfare ASMR and the thunderous pounding of snares leading entire battalions marching into certain death
It is the nature of mankind to seek conflict. We feel the urge to fight and die alongside brothers whilst fighting for God, Country, and Family. We yearn for a glorious death, to charge into a foe, singing warhymns and waving our standard above us. I would rather die a hundred times young on a battlefield than die of old age in my bed, my body deteriorating. A shame I was born too late for noble wars against an honorable foe.
as we proved in our reenacting events, if you lost your drummer you are fucked. Only few nearest guys in formation hear commands, the rest dont know what to do without musician. Even better is trumpet, you cant hear drum in constant fire which is reason why on start of ww1 the austrian army sent drummers and color bearers back from frontline and instead took 2 more guys with trumpets so every platoon had trumpet.
Historical Note: Up until the invention of machine guns and magazine fed rifles it would have been suicidal to NOT march in those formations. If you were to have spread out like present day troops on a Napoleonic Era battlefield you would have instantly been ridden down and cut to pieces by cavalry. Remember, all you have to defend yourself is a single shot, muzzleloading, smoothbore musket, which has a fire rate of about 3 rounds a minute (and that's only if you've been well trained) and is only accurate up to around 50-100 yards. The only way to protect yourself from horsemen is by being in large group so you and your fellows can present a wall of bayonet blades at any cavalry who come near you.
@@andrewvu1752 Rifled muskets did help, although even then they were still muzzle loaders and single shot weapons. So marching around in a group and having a bayonet was still the best protection against cavalry.
@@KageMinowara Rifled muskets were effective, until they fouled. They were very high maintenance compared to the smoothbore musket, if I’m not mistaken.
@@snipingflute4346 Yes black powder produces quite a lot of fouling compared to modern smokeless powder. Which makes it more and more difficult to ram the bullet down the barrel as the fouling builds up. It used to be common practice to either have hot water standing by to clear the barrels, or if hot water is not available (and on the battlefield it can be difficult to get hot water to the frontline troops) the soldiers would urinate into the barrels in order to clear them of black powder fouling.
@@KageMinowara I’d also imagine black powder caking itself into the groves of a rifled musket becoming of a growing annoyance to its shooter. For the riflings intended purpose was to provide accurate shots at a further distance compared to the standard smoothbore. That, along with it being seen as a rare and expensive treasured product to find on a battlefield, given the manufacturing costs, could’ve put a lot of pressure onto the soldiers they were entrusted to. Apart from military issue, wasn’t it the rich nobles, aristocrats, and royals being the most able to obtain such a finely crafted variant of rifled-muskets? Especially given the idea of interchangeable parts was relatively new to the world of manufacturing.

Theres a funny story that my dad told me about him during the second gulf war or the afghan war, but on minden day they had the regimental colours and drums at the camp and they got attacked and they were still beating the drums throughout the firefight
Now i understand why they had so many people dedicated just for playing the drums instead of fighting in wars, it actually is a huge boost to morale which is usually better than firepower itself.
@@staliniosifvissarionovich5588 It's both. Marching cadence, formation directives, and morale boosts. Same thing for flags being morale boosts and rally points to coordinate around.
it also helps that soldiers back then were drilled relentlessly and were some of the most disciplined soldiers in existence, and also fighting for your country was considered very honorable and to some it was worth the hell if it meant they would be considered honorable
@@BetaProtogen honor didn't stop a lot of men from deserting, especially the conscripts who were, at the time, supported by their families in these kinds of action.
@@PencroffMF look at the aftermarh of any battle and tell me where honor can be found... Moltke was right, wars as such are inhumane. if they cannot be avoided they should be won at the utmost speed and minimal loss of own life.
I used to watch that film (Waterloo) with my gran almost every summer holiday. We had a ‘Waterloo man’ in the family. His medal roll is pretty neat, fought through Spain and Portugal at Corunna, Vitoria, Badajoz and Toulouse and something to do with Holland. Died age 97 in the parish by a workhouse past Bethnal Green. History is a wonderful thing. Not for the archaic notions but to know where one comes from. Bloody love it.
totally understand it! in my family my ancestor fought in the napoleonic war in the savoyard army in sardinia in 1792 (he was recoded in the piedmont army) his grand nephew fought in Solferino against the austrians in 1859, his nephews in ww1 (2 out of 3 dead against the austrians in the Cadorna isonzo pushes), then the son of one of them in ww2 .. as you said is story that you come from the one that is more interesting
Holland would probably be the troops that were being cleared up before Napoleon returned for the 100 days campaign. I also had a distant relative in that campaign and at Waterloo. He was in the Rifles.
@@Mister.Weatherbee Thanks for the info - I’ll have to find out what that Holland campaign was like. There’s a grave marker in the local cemetery for those that died on the walcheren(?) expedition. I read that the Low Countries wasn’t a good place to be really. Excellent :) ours was some reg of foot. Will have to check again. Did yours fight in Spain at all? Rifles saved the bacon at Corunna!
Archaic notions? Patriotism, and willingness to lay down one's life when needed for one's country or to fight for it through other means, will never be archaic. And it must never become so, lest what we hold dear falls in ruins.
Napoleon: *is losing the battle* Guard: "Sire what are our orders?" Napoleon: "I dunno anymore. Go and un-ironically march into the cannon fire or something." Guards: "You got it!" Napoleon: "No, wait that wasn't seriou....." Guards: *"THE GUARD DIES, BUT IT DOES NOT SURRENDER!"*
Remember, the Drummer Boys were Teenagers (14-16); by 17 one was expected to be an Infantryman. And Drummers were just as likely to be killed by Musket or cannon fire as a normal soldier.. drummers were usually in line with the soldiers. As to Accuracy of the smoothbore Musket of the day, one ( German/French/ English General is reputed to have said the at 50 Paces, he would Not be hit by a musket ball that had been fired at him from an aimed Musket. Cannon ballswere more deadly...they could plow thru several lines of Soldiers, taking one or two out of each rank by actually striking or by the "wind" effect. Cannon shot that ricoched along the ground was the worst. Of course, Grapeshot or Canister or "Mitraille" was worse...like a 3 0r 4 inch Shotgun...devastating.
At waterloo there was a 14 year old boy, and in the Waterloo film they put young boys depicting the 45th line infantry advance as the drummers, so they were still correct on that in the film.
Gf (thinking happily): he's probably out with the boys playing silly games The garçons and I getting absolutely mugged by grapeshot in muddy Belgian field:
Napoleon made the soldiers of the Old Guard think that they were different from the rest of the army, thinking that they were immortals, representing the entire army. That is why the Old Guards were the only group of troops gathered in a square formation, determined not to leave the battlefield when Napoleon lost the battle, determined to stay to the death.
@@aviator-p1v there was no last stand of the old Guard. That was the Middle Guard. The old Guard left with Napoleon. The British play on a last stand of the old Guard theme to make themselves look good.

Hearing the drums gradually getting louder and closer really does invoke a feeling that can best be compared to a nightmare where you are being chased and you can't go any faster
I blasted this at the end of every semester. Now I finished university and the feeling while listening to this is like my last charge before I meet my fate. Good luck, gents, on to whatever end!
0:01 Imagine, standing there in the practically suicidal formation that yet, is your only weapon and only defense. You’ve been walking in this formation for days, yet you haven’t even engaged in battle yet. Your arms and legs aching, wishing to collapse and faint. The only thing keeping you going is the orders given to you. You finally come up onto the battlefield, smoke everywhere, the corpses of your comrades dead on the floor, you wonder.. Did they feel the same way? Either way, perhaps you’ll meet them in heaven and be able to clarify said question.
"War Drums for you and your homies to march in suicidal formations to" and yet there died a lot less people during this kind of warfare than during WW1 and WW2 where they sheltered in trenches and earlier during the 30 years war
When I save enough money, I am planning on buying a large Napoleonic battle painting. The one that the French Cavalry is running by Napoleon, and Napoleon is saluting them with his hat raised in the air.

I blasted this at the end of every semester. Now I finished university and the feeling while listening to this is like my last charge before I meet my fate. Good luck, gents, on to whatever end!
Me and the boys when it’s illegal to be straight in 2050
Plot twist the only person who survived was indeed the drummer man.
Crazy to think that this kind of warfare was commonplace only about 200 years ago.
Every man’s dream to die while the drummers dropping a sick beat
0:01 Imagine, standing there in the practically suicidal formation that yet, is your only weapon and only defense.
You’ve been walking in this formation for days, yet you haven’t even engaged in battle yet. Your arms and legs aching, wishing to collapse and faint. The only thing keeping you going is the orders given to you. You finally come up onto the battlefield, smoke everywhere, the corpses of your comrades dead on the floor, you wonder.. Did they feel the same way?
Either way, perhaps you’ll meet them in heaven and be able to clarify said question.
It's not a suicidal formation, it's one of the only ways to not get cut to pieces by cavalry.
Orders back then had to be relayed using music or voice commands. Even your men are spread out, it's almost impossible to do it.
Ambient music for studying, relaxing, sleeping.

Definitely look forward to playing some Black Powder with this on repeat in the background.
Young man, god bless you. Tittle of video: perfect, sound: incredible. Now you got my respect and suscription.
"War Drums for you and your homies to march in suicidal formations to" and yet there died a lot less people during this kind of warfare than during WW1 and WW2 where they sheltered in trenches and earlier during the 30 years war
LA GARDE MEURT MAIS NE SE REND PAS
Love this Im a napoleonic British Drummer for the war of 1812 in Canada!!
Imagine hearing this in the battlefield.
This is Ney's theme in waterloo
Me; Honey, the amalgamation of Napoleonic era war drums stays on, during sex at all times.
J'AIME L'OIGNON FRIT À L'HUILE
Car il est bon!
Au pas camarades, au pas camarades, au pas, au pas, au pas!

The title is absolutely amazing
I need a playlist with several hours of songs like that.
When I save enough money, I am planning on buying a large Napoleonic battle painting. The one that the French Cavalry is running by Napoleon, and Napoleon is saluting them with his hat raised in the air.
That One Must Be The Painting At The Battle Of Friedland. When His Heavy Cavalry Was Celebrating Infront of Him Because It Is The Celebration Of His Battle Of Marengo.
Modern war has JBL speakers playing rap music.
Sadly
You clear your house with your .22 caliber rifle with 30 round detachable box magazine. I clear my house with a .69 caliber French St. Etienne musket.
We are not the same.
They are marching like in the old style
they we'll have to meet them, in the same old style.
_The second, will prepare, to advance!_

Sending 100,000 dudes to die in lines be like
I keep coming back to this
This really gets my adrenaline pumping.
Waterloo soundtrack with new audio mixing is a welcome addition to my music playlist, bravo!
"yeah were gonna die, lets just drop some sick beats"
When your friend just joined you on their first ever game of War of Rights/holdfast and you give them the "Come on boy, come on! What will you think of yourself tomorrow?"
This has become my official end of semester victory March, I blast this while admiring my high marks for my history degree. Vive le France! Vive my GPA!
It’s all fun and games until two lines meet each other
0:28 *E P I C M A R C H*
Every French infantry gangsta time until we got the S O U P.
One of the most blazingly epic moments in the history of this continent.
To the tough guys in the comments: everybody is gangster until the first 3 or 4 lines of men disintegrate in front of your eyes by musket and canister shot.
You are one to talk cowering behind a nickname which no person of character would do. So keep quiet.
The fact that Music can be used for war is just so interesting...
they werent lying about male fantasy jesus
