Totally Friggin,AWESOME!!!!! Reminds me of a combination of the movie Drumline and the Sharks vs the Jets in West Side Story, Under a freeway overpass no less. How I miss marching band 40 years later.
The Hawks have amazing chops AND they look like they're having so much fun! The other band, LRSD is technically good but I prefer the Hawks just for the fun and varied sounds. They have multi-toms in their set up and that makes a difference.
LRSD is obviously more precision and serious and the Hawks are much more about fun. Love both, but will take a bit of fun with my precision any day!! GO HAWKS!!
Hawks have more of a fun upbeat vibe with really good chops. LRSD is more precise even though their stick heights were all over the place. Hawks definitely won that one.
Apples and oranges. LRSD is NOT a rudimental outfit, and I bet theyd be the first to tell you so. "Syncopated" drumming is not a widely-used, or known, style, limited to Long Beach, California and a couple of places where their alums moved to and started up their own outfits. LRSD makes up for the lack of anything rudimental -- there is not a double stroke to be found anywhere -- by focusing on visual uniformity, syncopated rhythms, and big arm motions for visual excitement. They are definitely NOT a rolling party, and their dark, punk ferocity is part of the point. OTOH, Blue Thunder is a totally rudimental, corps-style drum line. I'd bet many of their members marched in corps or in good college bands. Their snares are pretty dirty, but since they ARE a rolling party maybe that's okay. Definitely a drumline you'd like to drink beer and watch some football with. Which seems to be totally the point.
to be honest, LRSD's cadences are quite simple and almost boring. am the snares always play with too much arm movement so it looks like they're always accenting. idk, personal preference I guess..
I kinda agree but I saw them one year in SF. The Pride March had just ended and people were filtering into the civic center for the rest of Pride. LSRD came onto the scene and their drums sort of set off the rest if the day like a firecracker. Once they started playing, we knew the street part of pride had begun. It was a beautiful thing to witness. It brought me to tears, but im a drummer so of course it did.
For a “syncopated Drumline” stick heights sure seem to not exist, neither does actual technique. Or any flavor. This seems more like a gentrifying looking ass drumline to me

I have to say, I love how Blue Thunder has the grace to clap and dance while the other drum line is playing.
I'm a hardcore Seahawks and Blue Thunder fan but I think the black team is just a little more Cobra Kai and tough on the drums...lol A+++

The blue thunder tenor with the grey cap was my drum coach
