I've seen many a drum corps (including professionals). I've NEVER seen someone play the quad toms upside down. This wasn't suicide, this was BRILLIANT.
Ok 2 things: 1. It's extremely different to play tenors upside down than right side up because, ya know, gravity. According to our tenor player, it's not challenging, just takes a whole new technique. So I think it's really cool that she can play that well upside down 2. HOW DOES THEIR DIRECTOR LET THEM LAY ON THE GROUND IN UNIFORM?! I would be cut from the line if I did that like seriously
Finally. The drumline feature percussionists have been waiting for! I play in my schools drumline, and we are always in the back just hidden. This is like a hallelujah for most percussionists.
My drum line doesn’t really get a choice. We have to play cadences in front of the student section or else everyone gets extremely mad at us. Plus we do it because are cadences was made from a previous band director of my school who passed away a few years ago right before band camp, plus he was the current band director at the time so it was very shocking to us.
Clarinet for me, flute for my sister. Worst intruments to play EVER .... we broke the instruments one day when we were supposed to be practicing. 2 long years of nasty reeds and sore faces made us finally snap .... literally. Weird though because our parents did not finally allow us drums like we thought they would but instead got super mad, grounded us for a month, and made us do work at our land for the rest of the school year since we were no longer in band ..... Was it worth it still? Absolutely. (No offense to those who actually enjoy playing the C and the F .... i do no understand you but i support you) I do feel bad now that i understand better what it cost them to provide us that experience especially since they could not resale the instruments. But we did tell them we wanted to learn the drums, not clarinet and flute. The drums were the ONLY reason we asked to be in band ....
@@kc4208 Honestly? I completely understand I have a friend who plays clarinet, and she says its pretty hard Although I quite enjoy flute, sometimes I want to break the damn thing when I can't get the fingering for a note right, but overall I enjoy it and have been playing flute for almost 4 years.
@@puddles_xd when i say "worst instruments to play ever" i should clarify that for us, they were the worst instruments to play. Not because they are awful sounds ... they are not but because of the amount of dedication and resolve one must have to master them. I never was interested in clarinet and looking back, i do not think i would have stuck with drums either (i was copying my sister). Piano is my love. Also i want to put out a disclaimer: i did not regret breaking mine because my parents, even though they chose it for me, were not going to let us explore any other extracurricular activity since they paid a lot of money for the instruments. We were spending so much forced time practicing and getting lectured for doing this wrong or that wrong when we never wanted them in the first place and it just became unbearable. I do not recommend to anyone doing the same, but if someone does, i totally understand. I also do NOT mean to disparage anyone who has stuck with either instrument, ESPECIALLY if they struggled with it but persisted through the struggle. For you, i have great respect. Blessings 😘
This was so cool. Wish we could a done stuff like this when I was in school, we don't have anything like this in the UK, we just have youth orchestra which bored everyone to tears, especially us the musicians!
You just get annoyed at listening to the same exact theme song/fight song about 1 billion times. Any football game. Pep rally. Assembly. Anything it’s all they play. The exact same thing. I am part of the color guard so I am down with them in the field listening to them play the same things 50 times again. By the end of the season no one wants to listen to that anymore
It's a cadence called jig 2. It takes a few popular portions of songs a lot of people know, and throws them into a drumline cadence, the most memorable being Mary Had a Little Lamb.
It is called jig 2, a very popular drum cadence but it gets over played. Real drum lines make there own cadences, my school still uses cadences from the first year of my school.
Marching percussion is one of the best things I've done in my life, 4th year. Going to do around 12, I'm a freshman in highschool and I'm the one with most percussion experience lol
My band did this at almost every game and reading this comment section I realized that this is not the norm. I thought every band did quads/quints upside down
I’m a quad player and i cannot imagine playing them upside down especially because I’m very clumsy so i would drop my sticks or fall off of the persons shoulders but that is awesome i wish i could play that well
Me too! (Sorry, I was just having a nostalgic moment) High School Marching band & Jazz Band 1983-87-Miss those days, but now I play an electric bass!!!😅😂😎
mad respect to the basses but they look like they have no clue what’s going on in the beginning and i find that hilarious mad respect tho you guys did great :) -a fellow bass
imagine a played gets hurt right in the middle of that and they gotta stop and kneel immediately and either restart or find a place to start again 😬 i’d hate if that ever happened bakfhejf
I get that y’all wanna do visuals but if you’re gonna do em make sure you stand at attention when you aren’t doing visuals and if you are gonna do a visual make it uniform and not just have two people do it. It’s cool she was upside down tho🤌🏼
First it was the trombones, and now the drums have also become a suicidal instrument lol

For our school, it’s a tradition every year for one quad member to play upside down

No question dry cleaning is a b*tch
haha yup
Well my guess is because it’s part of the act. We had light colored uniforms and many of our visuales involved being on the ground

In drum line rn. We had a movement that had a good 20 measures centered around us. It got cut because there wasn’t enough time. It pissed me off

Ok this is just cruel. We're the star of the show at my school lol
i cant stop watching band videos and now its my entire recommendation

@@brandonhernandez1068 me too!! Band kids unite
you miss marching season dont you
@@naomialafa1697 yes, yes I do.
How do the quad players looks so casual!? Their hands are moving at like Mach speed, and they both look like they're about to fall asleep!!
Puuure focus. I always look super bored when playing difficult stuff on quads or drum set.
the tenor at my school looks so completely bored but if you watch a few games you can tell he's focusing reallh hard
It’s a lot of muscle memory with hugeeee focus. As a fellow percussionist I do this a lot
That was beastly BEAUTIFUL. SHE PLAYED UPSIDE DOWN NICE
This is why I wanted to play drums
But no
They needed a flute player

Bro same. I’ve now played the viola for 5 years...
Ominous forest in the back, neat little routine! Drums rock
This was so cool. Wish we could a done stuff like this when I was in school, we don't have anything like this in the UK, we just have youth orchestra which bored everyone to tears, especially us the musicians!
I love that there’s this masterpiece going on and there’s just people in the background just so unamused
that’s my high school for ya

the fact that they played mary had a little lamb
Our band does that too
the band term is jig 2 :) but yea its pretty similar
every drumline does lol

This is an extremely impressive high school drumline! This could easily pass for college level!
EASY! I watched one band video and now every band group comes up on recommendations.
So glad this one did.
That’s uphs for you😂 they’re really impressive especially the color guards. My school and theirs are crazy competing against each other
@@dacey_c361 you don’t happen to go to pinecrest do you?
The girl playing upside down was amazing... Damn... they were all good but she was really great....
If the basses start Planking I'm telling the Cavies
coo coo
nah, that would ruin the drum, XD
Awesome! I hope these drummers are entertaining in a college band!
I was hella worried about the guys with the quads, but this was freaking epic!
Takes "laying down on the job" to a whole nother deminsion!! They are great 👍!!!
Played in small band in highschool we didn't even have enough instruments to fill out. But good God we had a full drumline and were they badass.
Great job, we need more of this in 2021...
I can’t believe how smooth the transition was to being upside down.
Marching percussion is one of the best things I've done in my life, 4th year. Going to do around 12, I'm a freshman in highschool and I'm the one with most percussion experience lol
Hell to the yes!!!! Upside down drummer!!! Tommy Lee eat your heart out!!!
girls in drumline will forever have my heart
❤
For “Shots!” Snares are written to play rim shots on the vocals
I would miss every single shot you best believe it
@@chloewilliams5640same😭
In our band we usually not only flip or quads but our snares as well. Since the flutes can’t do suicides we either flip or hold the drums.
Dude gymnastics and band all together...I'm in
Djk34💘💝😘💖💖 are you leaving how old you are
OHHHH MY GOD MY HEART WAS EXPLODING WHEN THE BASSES WERE HOLDING THEIR DRUMS LIKE THAT BRO THOSE RIMS BREAK SO EASILY OH MY GOD OH GOD NO
Popcorn. Its all i hear 👂 from them snares. Tenor killin it.
At this point, don't question what the band kids do...
Good, entertaining, talented.... what's not to love? I enjoyed that....
I loved this. Way to show your talent!
My band did this at almost every game and reading this comment section I realized that this is not the norm. I thought every band did quads/quints upside down
Why do in movies discriminate the bands?! This is awesome
Nice drum line, great job keeping enjoying the fun
I’m a quad player and i cannot imagine playing them upside down especially because I’m very clumsy so i would drop my sticks or fall off of the persons shoulders but that is awesome i wish i could play that well
Impressive! Awesome job! Fun
This was above and beyond.
You all are awesome, Love your performance.
Super good! Loved this!
I’m so happy are marching band season is back 😊😊😊💕💕💕💕😭

Get it drum line! After seeing the guard uniform I wonder what their show was that year?
I'm from Mexico, I need you to elaborate or tell me where can I watch more awesomeness
I love how their faces looked like doing that was nothing
“How many times did you watch this?”
Me: *Yes.*
i do not miss the anxiety of being in percussion.. i’ll stick with the woodwinds
You simply adapted to the darkness...
I was born in it...
Molded by it...
@@srjsamsam you poor soul..
i wanted to do percussion but nooo they needed a flute player so more people complain about sore faces
Two of our guys at my band played jig 2 upside down, it was realllyy cool
I would’ve been doing some colorguard dancing to this
Shots is a cadence we do at my school too lmao
Love to hear percussion!
That goes crazyyyyyy
Cries in school that doesn’t have band and just cares about basketball
How can something so difficult look so casual?!!! lol
Killing It!!!!!
The quads need to be lowered like alot
SO TALENTEDDDD!!
NC rockin it!!
Those stick throws woulda been 20 push ups each stick for me😂
mad respect to the basses but they look like they have no clue what’s going on in the beginning and i find that hilarious
mad respect tho you guys did great :)
-a fellow bass
this is pretty cool but no to be rude at all but snare could do work. kinda sounds like popcorn

These kids are great 👍
BOW DOWN….. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. BOSS CHIC U.P.S.I.D.E..D.O.W.N.

How... how do you have time to learn this
the fact that it was the woman playing upside down! i'm so glad they let her do it and didn't make a guy do it
Fabulous
Can the Snares like play together damn
imagine a played gets hurt right in the middle of that and they gotta stop and kneel immediately and either restart or find a place to start again 😬 i’d hate if that ever happened bakfhejf
remember kids, if you need more rebound, just play ur instrument upside down
Bass drums with kevlar heads 🤤🤤🤤
Does someone know if they won the game?
So these are the people the directors tell us we’re going against in Dayton
They should worry less about being flashy and more about cleaning up their line.
a girl at my school played upside down and the student section barely noticed it was so sad lmao
Top Secret would be proud.
We have a song call shots that is the same thing but better with shots and stuth
So many sticks went flying
Nice
i recognize Face the Bass
