Best one hour video I watch today for sure
THIS IS AWESOME
great work but both drum lines !!!!!!
Boss: Why were you late?
Me: I spent an hour watching a drumline battle at 5 in the morning.
wyse TV I swear !!!! Couldn’t turn away !
Boss : You’re Fired
Me : did I save that video ?
Right, it’s 1:00am and I’ve joined in with them.. I’m getting down over here with my with pencil and ruler..
Lmao
DUde its 5Am rn as i read this
Just realized it’s an hour long 💀💀 thought it was 15 minutes
These ain’t even my kids but my heart swells with joy and pride for everyone of them
Hoda Elzawahry where is this school do you know ?
That was a great battle
Do you need kids lady? We can make some together
White Alliance get out of here creep
Kakegurui DX if you’re name is referring to the kakegurui I think it is you can’t talk lol
Let's also give these kids credit: They have enough presentable material to battle with and go punch for punch for 60 minutes and they're high schoolers. That's commendable.
I cannot BELIEVE these are high schoolers. 😳 They are just incredible, period, then add that on top & I'm like 🤯
Yeah idk anything I can do for a solid hour straight like this. Great job, SWD never disappoints.
A good friend of mine in high school was good enough by 8th grade he could have played with these kids but our school was so small and the general schools in our area that we didn’t have anything like this and that’s is honestly very sad because he is/was so talented!
Please - Beyond comprehensible
Nobody:
That one guys stick: ight imma head out
Never stop movin ya hands...😎
No stick back tho🤷🏼♂️
😂🤣

This is one of the longest drumline video i have ever seen
Me too
So long even the line had to rest.
Ain't it a beauty!!!!
Yeah it's a BEAUTIFUL THANG!!-- BRAVO to both lines
... Excellence.
But the best
i live in the UK we got nothing like this over here ...man this is freaking awsome...ALL those kids are winners
What the Brits neglected to steal a form of music from the American Southland???? haha content with just Roc 'n' Roll? Jut messing ....cheers mate!
Wow that’s lame u missing out
Thank you for watching , and supporting these young adults.👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🎻🎷🎺🎸📯🎹🎧😘😘😘😘
Lol in texas we always get into drumline battles against our rival schools its pretty fun.
this is big down south culture here in America ! you ought to go to a HBCU football game and watch those bands
Red Team: "We are just here to play and have fun"
Blue Team: "I hope someone gives us a reason to throw hands.."
Tight Line Tactics swear😭🤣
Omm. I'm sitting here like are they rivals because I feel like I'm missing something🤣
Lmao
instead of hands, how bout drumsticks!
They rivals right round the corner from each but the blue team on Wesley chapel 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so I understand your narrative
😳😳😳 WTF?!? As a 10+ year percussionist and section leader for a top college band, I could NEVER imagine doing something THIS precise at their age… let alone find an entire sections worth of people to do it too… they are AMAZING!!!!! Every person participating (and their parents) should be so damn proud
The terrible tuning, rim shots every second, and every snare offbeat doesn’t make your Ears bleed ??
@@Gofackyamotha Try listening when the opioids wear off.
Im not sure what percussion you play, but there wasnt one bit of "precise" in any of that.
@@kornellbrown3802 I’m assuming your black because the urban beat distorted and distracted your brain to where you couldn’t asses the quality of a good cadence.
Yes that was a black joke. I’m brown. I can make those comments.
@@Gofackyamotha The only reason you are making the joke is because you're on the internet. Don't know what race has to do with a damn thing in this... Also Perez no, we don't Identify with "brown people", "latinos", "hispanics", "spaniards" or what ever you wanna call yourselves, so you'd get stomped for that. Stay off the opioids plz.
2:09 that fact that he keeps playing with no stick makes him a winner
2:46 dude fixing his flipped cymbal on the snare shot, that was slick af
Dude yes
super slick!
nice catch! i never woulda noticed that.
Yet here is music illiterate Logical wondering which dude and what was fix some day some day aaah
That's where full knowledge of your line's music comes into play
YOOOOOOOOOooo
shout out to the female drummers! I know what it's like because when I was in marching band I was the only female in the line for a few years. Way to hold your own in a predominantly male section of the band!!
That’s stupid
I like your idea and what you seeing but that's the ideal that our women got to take of their minds ❤ just go nd get it sis whatever is destined for you will be waiting for you it might take time but it will come !
@@thecasualgamer1083 what's stupid about her comment? I'm not a drummer so I'm just curious.
I’m just saying that females can do the same as guys and they don’t need shout outs that makes them look weaker
I completely agree. A lot of people are always complimenting my school’s Drumline because our ratio is 12:9 boys to girls. Half the girls carry us 😂😂
10:34 man loses his glasses but keeps going, what a legend
His hat and glasses: ight imma head out
and he let his team step on em
I mean a dude lost his whole stick tho
See how smooth he picked them jawns up
As a professional drummer and former snare line captain I really enjoyed the performance. It is awesome to see young drummers carrying the torch!
Dude I'm gonna be a snare captain and I'm nervous cuz ik we're gonna have to get into drum battles eventually 😬😩
@@river737 good luck!
Gurl, I'm only 11 and I do marching band. I wish you went to my school to judge me.
@@river737 I can't wait to do that. By the way, love your profile picture and name! Creepypasta!!!
who won?
2:09 just casually drop your stick and keep on playing LOL nice job dude
Threy Drey he kept the hand movement and everything like he had a stick that’s amazing
Puhrified ikr
I love how that dude was like crap. Oh well. I will just pretend to play with that hand. And he goes on with his life
LissetteL Baron yea lol but they give him a stick a couple seconds after
Threy Drey when ever you drop your sticks your not supposed to pick them up after your done playing but If you do ur in trouble 😂
This is the only way young people should ever need to "battle" with each other. I am in awe of all of them. Absolutely love drumlines!!
Wow! This only gets better with each set, both lines are insane. I hope 5years later they still have this community, talent and dedication.
The drumline that was jumping over each won to me that's my opinion
Agreed and I was raised with and around the drum lines!! Hands down the best
What school
I agree. They had skillz. Both were good tho but the Red and Black too that.
@@shannodaghe4510 MLK
Good
Regardless of style (corps or HBCU) I just think it’s really awesome that there is such a high concentration of good drum lines in Atlanta. Honestly don’t think there is any other city in the world that has such an abundance of world class programs.
Cameron Leonard to me Atl has always been a step ahead as far as bands and drum lines mostly because the city is so big and a Mecca for band directors from Scsu and famu
Two of the top 3 HS World Class Drum lines in WGI are from the same city.....
Brad Maston But that’s all that the Chino Hills area has, and it’s strictly core style. Atlanta has potentially a dozen upper open/ bottom of world class programs, representing all styles
Technically, neither of these schools are in "Atlanta." Dekalb County (Decatur, Ellenwood,, Lithonia, Stone Mountain, Conley) well south Dekalb County, has a number of world class programs. City of Atlanta/S Fulton County never really had programs that could compete on this level. Although Douglass, Mays and Westlake are pretty good and could hold their own.
New Orleans dont sleep on us
Wow this is almost an hour long. These guys are amazing imagine how long it took them to learn, practice and get all of these sets? Crazy incredible.
Drumline was always first to practice and last to leave. That's just how we do. 😁
Who else plays a woodwind instrument and is just watching percussion videos because they are fascinated by they're percussion section in their school band.
Steezy Aeris Omg yes 😂😂
My friend Cason omg high school woodwinds so annoying my dude
Steezy Aeris bass clarinet 😔
Nope I’m in drum line
@@emileegulley8745 nobody asked
10:34, dude was so into it he knocked off hat AND glasses
brandonmc01 He did Knocked hat glasses completely off didn’t even picked up his stuff Nice job dude!!!🤫🤭😏😒
It was obviously done on purpose! If he can’t avoid hitting his own head with his own symbols he would not have made the line! It’s all part of the performance! Which by the way was great!
I was in marching band back in the day and the drummers got to do all the sweet stuff and battle while the rest of us just stand there looking dumb supporting them!
@@dracolerro2592 still a bAnD nErD
@@dracolerro2592 I feel attacked.
MAN! The drumline always had their special, little practices with the band director, too. Like, I always knew why, but 😒🤣
😂
Ah, it was completely opposite for me. The drumline didn't have any extra performances. If they were playing we were too.
Did I just sit and watch a 3 year old video of a HS drum line battle for almost an hour? Yes, yes I did.
Wow plenty of HBCU band scholarships waiting for these talented kids!!
Finally some good highschool drumlines
Bruh
THE SHADEEEEE LMAOOO
20:02 some one was called a b*tch
melvin vliet that’s not right bro :/ we not supposed to hate our “competition” at the end of the day we all the same , just a band .
Sofia Salazar fr💀💀💀I was like “now why they let them curse??”
No they were saying YAS BICH! So its different.

You deserve a gift
@@drummajorulysses946 ah thank you :)
Or just watch it through? It all flows pretty good this isn’t one of those skip ahead vids lol
MLK won this very clean snare line. You can actually hear every drum sectional. And this is my first time hearing these two drumlines.
Jamal Holder yeah i agree, even MLK mostly looks younger than SWD.. MLK’s beat so clean and also their styles dope af
Not sure what video you guys were watching SW was much cleaner and crisp on the snare line. MLK had better dance moves but they weren't tighter.
As a high schooler I was in different parts of the drumline my entire highschool career and coming as a player who never did the flashier music styling both schools sounded GOOD, not clean though. Overall presentation I gotta give it to MLK unfortunately (red) they were dirty but just slightly cleaner then the other group 🤷♂️
Mlk definitely won my sister was on the line in high school an they killed it every time
@@theRevVA32 agreed. Idk how anyone could think SW lost this. They outclassed the other school in terms of skill and synchronicity. They were extremely clean and together. All sections of their line were crisp. Both schools were great, but SWD is a clear winner.
3:00 bruh the way they walked up was clean dab
That nod they gave each other
Bruh did you just type the word dab in what your time would have been 2019
When I saw an hour long video of high school drumlines battling, I was honestly expecting a snooze fest. They're still high schoolers, but I'm actually being entertained and I'm almost 20 minutes in. Good job, guys!
Never drop your stickssss especially on the snare frontline 🤦🏾♂️
True
Wilbur Hunter fornite sucks
yes i'm sure they meant to drop the stick on purpose lol
And always keep a spare sticks
wow realy cool like me
Feel like I jus watched a drumline 3 🎥
This just what I was thinking
Now THIS is a Battle Royale‼️
And everybody got to shine! This is what dedication and discipline and hard work is all about. Great job to all. 💪🏾🥁🖤
As someone that grew up in inner city schools and had the experience of watching these live, these kids have more talent in their hands and their ears than most do in their entire body. This one took me straight back to football field in high school hearing them practice while I was wandering around being a teenager.
So true- I can totally relate! I became a banner girl in the marching band because I heard the wonderful cadence:)
If I dropped my sticks, after the show I’m gonna be the one that’s getting dropped
Same
Pretty much lol
💯💯💯
3:06 - 3:24 They so disrespectful I LOVEEEEE IT😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥 shit was lit😂🔥
Ikr
FRRRR
Ngl that whole band seemed undisciplined the other one seemed like they had there shit together honestly
Then they was on beat when they was walkin to tht shit was to hard😂😂
As a former band member, clarinet 1st chair, I LOVE IT. Bands do not get the recognition they deserve for real. Its a lot of work and rehearsals that go into it every week.
Both did great but Black & Gold had precision sticking, dynamics, and sound control. The cadence at 21:50 is my fave. The crescendos were on point. The run at 21:34... The triplets at 23:21... WoW
MLK won this for me. Super clean, great composure. Technique over intimidation will win every time. SWD had music that was above everyones ability to play in sync imo. Also, why are the quads playing with snare sticks??
roy belluomini clean? LMFAO they got sauce but was sloppy asf
MLK was clearly the tighter line. (Red snares)
Wavy Kay they had a cleaner quad line for sure, but I feel like the blue drums were playing harder beats, and I also loved their splits in the bass drums :)
For sure. SWD was playing much harder beats, but that doesn’t mean shit if they can’t play clean. I mean obviously this was just all about having a fun competition, they were all dirty as sin, but they were having fun and that’s all that matters. MLK was much cleaner tho.
Oh and quads play with sticks, too, not just pucks. Depends on the sound they’re going for. Usually the lines that primarily just play dirty parade diddles use pucks all the time 😅 just sayin 😂
Nah but MLK did really well. These kids have so much talent and potential, it’s usually the lack of funding and resources that screws them. It’s a shame. I went to a great public school, but we still didn’t have the foundation that the rich schools had & it was so obvious. They were professionally taught from elementary school, while our middle and elementary school teachers barely knew what they were doing and didn’t care to push us.
Anyway, I’m just rambling now. We never had face offs like this in HS. We just competed with the rest of the band & then indoor was our time to shine in WGI 😆 Good times. Good times. This brings me back. Really miss it.
Different sticks/mallets provide different sounds. When I marched during undergrad, and Drum Corps we switched throughout the performance between tenor sticks, mallets, and felt. Pertaining to college band for a domed arena mallets will provide a more full sound, while out door arenas a lot of lines opt for sticks rather than mallets but your show and Director make the decision of what to use. If your drumline parts are more melodic then you will most likely use tenor sticks and felt.
Did anybody else notice how the game seemed pretty good lol
Hell yeah😂
@@donaldsapp3190 ygb*ybscVfbgn(n) m
It's hard to believe that HIGH SCHOOL KIDS are chopping like this!! I LOVE IT!!
Love to see this, we need more of our kids doing stuff like this in high school from music, to sports ,to academics, etc, etc, etc. If you get them engaged , involved, and they find a passion, more likely they will not get snagged by gangs, drugs or other detrimental behavior to our neighborhoods and society, but become a succes and a asset to our society. Keep on drumming !
Dude in the gray shirt from swd would not let the cymbal girl do her job. Lol. Let her live!! Stop taking her cymbals.
😂😂😂💯
Yeah man, I peeped that out too. I think he was an alumni trying to throw his weight around and relive the good ol days. He don't know he looked like a straight up sucker, especially when you realize that he took that girl's cymbals
I just went that and seems him he is dope 🤣😂
Alumi he missed dem days
7:40 excuse me what the F U C K.
Exactly
The drum majors made me think of the “hun gin Jana hinigin gana” meme with the guy jumping on the tree limb
What happened I don't see
This is straight up impressive. On both sides. The fact that this level of precision, power, and energy is continuously delivered over the course of an *hour* by *high schoolers* is unbelievable. Good for all of them. I hope they all go places with these skills.
Sickest high school drum line battle ever!! They’re not taking no prisoners .. love it
I really just love the sound of the drums

I don't know how many times I passed up this battle! Today it came on and I can't stop watching it! Man this is GREAT! Both Drum Lines did an outstanding JOB! A must watch for any Maching Band Enthusiasts! I'm loving this!
These kids killed it! Truly outstanding on BOTH bands' parts.
Nobody should be booing! These kids are naturally gifted!
finally, a proper drumline battle
Gotta give credit when credits due. Both of them tore it apart!!
These kids are so talented. They just make me smile so big. I love this so much.
They both winners! Y'all killed it!!
2:10 mans dropped his stick and played through the rest without it
Someone handed him another one
Lolloloololloloo!!!
20:00 they flipped their drums over so they couldn't play on them 😂 then, I'm assuming MLK one of them yells "BITCH!" at the end 😂😂😂👌
I don't care what you say, this is good for these young brothers to be able to play and demonstrate this level of precision at this stage of life. My hats off to the instructor that took and takes the time to help, aid and assist these young brothers.
When you have two drumlines this good, the hell with the football game
39:31 Roblox “Oof” In the crowd
Disco Goddess DEAD 🙏
Fun fact oof wasn’t originally heard in roblox
Disco Goddess Good job I was dead bet they heard that clear as day too😂🤣
Haha
As a girl who plays snare. It is very cool to see 1 girl be playing snare out of all of the boys. In my band there is only girls who play snare:)
This sends chills all through my body!! I can see , feel and hear the Ancestors in these performances. Its so amazing how DNA can do such wonderful things. Im so proud to be an African American❤❤❤💪💪💪😭
This video made my morning! Love your amazing spirit - you aren’t my kids but I’m parent-proud of you all! 🙌
Great Job SwD and MlK!!! Miss these days of my youth You all murdered every line, and we're true sportsman/women. Awesome drum lines everyone !!!
That first line brought the heat!
Stunned to find out that these are high school kids (amazingly talented kids). I thoroughly enjoyed the show!
Team with the red drums won🤷🏾♀️just cause the other team tried to be loud and aggressive didn’t mean they were better
I respect your opinion but disagree. I think the black drums won as the choreography in my opinion was much more synchronized and unique. However at the same time the black drums did have some rather simplistic parts so I can see where you’re opinion comes from
This is lit 🔥
i think blue team had harder stuff and i think they had better dynamics and precision but h can see your opinion. red had better visuals though
@@oneasiangirl the drums are blue/navy blue but they were sloppier with their choreography. Lines were not perfect as well. And they did have small unnoticeable timing issues. Otherwise they did great
Let’s not mention someone dropped there sticks as a lineman you don’t do that you don’t be so aggressive and the timing part is bad but ever line has that issue that honestly doesn’t mean anything you go to a pro line you’ll see the timing isn’t that good but other than that the stick dropping you would have got sat out for the next game or next battle
20:00 "bitch" lmfaoooo
The Blue line has a lot more technical skill and would win if judged by experts who recognize their level of precision. But the Red line has more heart and could win a fan vote.
Wow, I only happened to stumble across this and holy crap is this seriously entertaining and amazing watching youth put this much time into something constructive! They will remember this for the rest of their lives and I hope they inspire future generations to apply themselves and to be productive. Love it.
an incredible feat not only performing this but memorizing
MLK definitely gets the W. They look cleaner and sound better. They’re playing as an ensemble. SWD is out the box. They can play, but they’re out the box.
Marquis Lester They’re kids Dude-playing against men-hello?? MCFly???
I agree, their performance is awesome! I only came across this vid, since I've seen my son performance here in Texas State, I've never seen one in person, I was so curious and looked at vids on TH-cam and came across this. I enjoyed watching it. Performance and style wise MLK did well from beginning to end. The other group did very well too.
oh wow! i actually thought the other team was more precise and had better rhythms, but to be honest they both had they’re up sides!
Dude from SWD never let home girl have he cymbals
This is some of the BEST drumline battling I've ever seen! Brings back memories of when I played the QUINTS in my HS BAND.
These kids are really good. The band with the 6 Drum 🥁 Majors (KING) these drummers are skilled and clean. The entire drum section carried their own weight. I love how they performed in unison. Sharp👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 their Band Director should be very proud!!!
Both section were good 👍🏽
20:00 lil dude put down his drum he was ready to fight 😂😂
Lil man said you aint going to Nick Cannon me lol
Dawn Wright that why it not cool as musician
You see swd talking all that trash but as soon as mlk does it they get mad wow
@@HEAVYCHEVY409 hahaha
30:31 dat was tooooo clean
DatNicca YuhFeeMeh? They are going slow motion like they tired 🤪🤣😂🖕🏾
14:50 “Here comes the BOOoOOM‼️”
Excellent battle, you can see all of the hard work and dedication by both squads. The swagger from each side is awesome. MLK has soo much rythm and swagger, but I think SWD creativity gives them a slight edge....GREAT JOB...hate to see the slight profanity, but in the heat of battle things happen...Keep going yall!!
Music teachers be out here actually teaching their hearts out to these kids
I love drumline battles. That was my favorite part of being in band was listening to everyone's drumline.
The cameraman really deserves much credit for being totally boss.
I literally stayed watching this for a good hr, this is amazing how talented these kids are. I wonder where they are today ? I hope ya all are still showing ya talents🙌🏼
Absolutely incredible!!! All of them, every single one!!
I ain’t gonna lie, i was trying to search some drum line movie shit but here i am watching these crazy ass talented kids kill this Shit!!! Amazing stuff!!!!!!!
A lot of talent in this video.
Red Squad Was Clean AF 🤷🏾♂️
This camera man got paid a lot of money 😂
5:09 play it at 0.75 speed and it sounds lit
these HSchoolers have someof the best content...They are all very special🤜🤛
This drumline battle is the best! I like the quads the most.
Found this September 2019 and I've watched it at least 3x now. Both were phenomenal and gave a better performance than some college bands. Thanks for such lengthy, quality entertainment. 👌❤️
God bLess everysingle one of these talented kids. Also this needs to be recorded some proffesional mics. that way i can bump this is my car Hi-Definition
This may be my new cleaning soundtrack. I love it. Kept us all moving and inspired my kids into action as well. Awesome job kids! Unbelievable high school programming for musicians!
Just what I needed! Brought back a flood of memories. Such a talented group of young men and ladies!! Great musicianship and technical ability! PROUD OF ALL THESE AMAZING TALENTS! DeKalb born and raised! Wonder where they are now? Soooo talented!
mlk killed it
This One of The Best Battles I've Seen in a Long Time
SWD alumni. Loved the band before I even attended. Graduated 20 years ago and it still amazes me.
I’ve seen this video a few to many times but was worth it every last time
And here I am watching it again 😂😂
