I hate to disagree with you; I'm also an Army vet. My dad was Navy. As far as technique and finesse, the Navy cymbalists were off. Before the Army gift of dust.
The army may have groove but they were 2 different styles arguably the navy was more class. And much harder if you compare its more regulation vs exhibition and when you see tempo and uniformity vs the army's style one is much harder than the other in my opinion that's why there multiple judges
The integrity of the Navy frontline to stand w/o withdrawal AND hold a pleasant demeanor whilest under "powder attack prank" (which showed immediately on pristine drums & surely added a TON of uniform clean up time & effort) shows their absolute unity and trust in their team to take all and give all- TOGETHER unhindered to carry on at their best. 👏 Bravo!
That’s the other way around. The Navy had the show moved to make up for being smaller. They didn’t use the bass drums to their advantage like the Army or the cymbal line. They were like an after thought.

@@auntiem873 I agree. The Army has fantastic music, departments. . I am subscribed to their utube site. Pure talent, whether ( conductors) vocals, or Instruments. They have a wonderful’Battle Hymn of The Republic,’ on one of their videos. In my opinion, it’s far better than any larger, groups.
The Navy did look sharp, but I have to give it to the Army as far as playing goes. To me they were head and shoulders above the Navy in technical ability they just sounded a lot crisper and in unison better in my opinion.
@@ReedThomas71 overall I liked the Army’s style and rhythm, but the style of the Navy’s last set was very succinct and crisp. I wish the Army would’ve utilized their snares more. Both were fun to watch.
@@kabodick I just enjoyed the Army’s performance more, I would have like to have seen more from their snare’s too in a traditional drum line battle. I don’t know, overall in totality I like the Army better. I don’t have a dog in either fight and not bias, I didn’t serve in the military.
Navy vet here. Two different styles for 2 different branches. Always knew the Navy drumline was super technical but didn't know the Army's style would fit them so well. All the Army folks I've known are goofballs, deadly goofballs but still goofballs. Loved seeing the jam together at the end.
4:01 The way the Army bass drummers shift the beat individually was next level. Would love to hear the Army bass drummers with the Navy snare drummers.
This is so surprisingly fitting. Army played a straight forward solid crowd pleaser capitalizing on their larger bass line and thus fuller sound while Navy played far more technically focusing on individual sounds to create diversity. So basically Army huah overrun the enemy with infantry and tanks Vs. Navy technicians and engineers operating ships and submarines... Even the drumlines exhibit the cultural differences between the services. Cool how that played out.
I guess. I think rhetorically analyzing the different styles of the drum lines is reading into it a little much. Also, technicians and engineers are a pretty important part of the army, too. They literally have an “army corps of engineers”.
@@victoriahill4568 If you want Naval Sharp, the Royal Marines stick drill masters both. And I still say there's a place for lyre xylophones in the percussion line!
Navy took that!!!❤ Takes me back to HS and HBCU battle of the band. Now THAT is where the moves, skills and flavor REALLY comes in if you are into good drumlines❤❤❤
Ok that was awesome! I loved the snare flair on the Navy squad, but the cadence and rhythm of the toms and bass on the Army side were just so darn catchy!! They all did a fabulous job! 👏👏👏
I had to revisit this video since he is no longer with us, I remember the good times we had and how proud he was of these fine people. My dad served in the Navy during the Vietnam era, he was in Guam and Panama. I remember the very first time I played this and how excited he was to hear the Navy play the drums (as well as Army! We are a military family! 💪🏽). Phenomenal drum playing from both parties. I thank everyone who has served past and present, your service for this country does not go unnoticed. In the words of my Dad, "Freedom is not free". I miss you Dad and thank you for your service. 😇
I like Navy's " Top Secret" moves. Their technical skills are really good. Army's energy was good as well. Great job all around to both teams. Well done everyone. 🙂

When I was young I got the opportunity to see one of the national drumline competitions in the town I was living in it was a great night that I have never forgotten even after all these years
Now this is one of the gems on TH-cam. Both drumlines play slighly different style, very hard to say which one I prefer. Considering the great sound the smaller Navy team produced I go with them. They looked a little traditional in their uniforms though. Great dumming from both lines.
So proud to be American. After watching these ladies and gentlemen my pride has swelled. I wish for safe long happy lives for all our services members. I’m aware this doesn’t always occur. Those that remain keep the lost service members spirits alive. Case in point what we just watched.
I’m a 53 year old Brit and i love me some drum and Bass. The Army absolutely tore this one up. A much cleaner and pure sound. The Navy had too many off beats. But the Navy did look smart until the got powder on them 😂
The frustrations of TH-cam...Im at home watching this, when all I want to do is be there, to shake each one of their hands, to thank them for this beautiful show, their amazing talent and for everything they do for us each and every day all so we can enjoy what we do. Go Army! Go Navy! Go USA!
I’m an old Air Force guy. I gotta give this one to the Navy. But that “jam session” at the end was pretty cool. Great way to build camaraderie between the branches.
Watched this after watching both Drumline movies. The Navy's routines resembles the drumline battles from the movies. This is so cool. Thanks for uploading.

we're the winners, to have such professionals serving in our Armed Forces. Why do we have such excellent officers? Tradition, training, and the best young men and women in the US.
Protect your American way of life? Are you really that detached from how big of a shit hole the States are? I am truly surprised they managed to have their cap on the right way. Some one must have showed them a diagram on how there meant to be worn.

@@johnvercelli2940 wasn't that in the mid 80s? My mind has lost most of ites functioning. 🤪 I went on board in March 1975, just in time for Operation Frequent Wind. Talk about trial by fire. Damn. I won't go into detail, but three of us were sent ashore to the American Embassy to get some injured civies. Let's just say "injured" was an understatement. When we got back, the chopper had to circle the flight deck for an hour until we could land long enough to disembark. I remember they were pushing fixed wings of the bow of the Enterprise because there was just no room. It was what the Navy called "controlled confusion." Then we went on to the Mayaguez incident, where the Khmer Rhouge "illegally held" (she was captured In international waters, close to the Gulf of Tonkin, I think) one of our merchant ships,, the SS Magayez, so it was a show of force.

@@julianaadams5751 wow, what a history...thank you for yours and your dear husband's service and for sharing this! Enjoyed it very much! 💟 also am so sorry for your loss...dang🥀 Blessings 🌿
Military mom here (x3). As you enjoy watching these talented young men and women having a spirited competition, just start praying for their safety. May God bless and protect our nations heroes!
I know about the sacrifices that a mom makes. The sleepless nights, the worry when, back in my day, the mail would run late, or a cancelled leave. It takes a toll. My God hold and keep you as well as yours. Moms are always on the minds of the deployed. Know you too are a hero, just of a different sort.
Bless you, Mark. Of course technology has greatly improved (from 2002- to now), so now we can hear from our children regularly. But I can tell you there were many times that the 2-week mark (no contact) would hit and I automatically started deep cleaning the living room so it looked nice when when they came to do the Notification. Their dad knew better than to stop me. Once, it had been nearly a month, I would leave my cell number on the front door. ('Hell-man' province when the bad guys played constant target practice on the satellites). But I've learned three crucial lessons over the last 20 years: 1. It's waaaaay harder to be an Army Mom than an Army Wife :-) 2. God's love for us is CRAZY! I definitely didn't want to give MY sons' lives for a bunch of ungrateful people. But He did! 2. God's peace really does surpass all understanding: because I sure couldn't explain it! ☺️
As a devout band nerd before being an Army vet, my vote goes to Navy for sound but army had less mistakes. I spent years in the box looking and listening (critiquing) and there were too many Navy mishaps. They made their mistakes less obvious than the Army though. This brought warmth and joy to my heart!
It’s nice to see that with all the rivalry and the drum battle they still respect each other. I went to one army navy game in Philadelphia and even though both teams wanted to win badly they still had the utmost respect.
Non-military college marching band member here. No matter how deep the rivalries go, band members don't hold the resentment that the fans have. I've been screaming at and cussed out by fans and players but never by band members in the 10 years I have done it. It's one of the most awesome things when we're able to mingle with the opposing band and it's just an atmosphere of genuine love. I'll have to say that the precision of the navy drumline gave them the win here though 😄
They came together at the end and did a collaboration that was unexpected ive never seen an army navy drum line battle so at the end they are still one team one side I like it
It's a hard call here-loved the swing, rhythms and soulful feel from the Army's drum line (my husband is Army, so slight bias here), but also loved the concise, complex cadences from the Navy as well (my cousin did drum line for many years)---kudos to both lines and gentlemen, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE to our country!!!!
Navy was more musical than Army, but Army had some amazing bass drum runs. Great job both. As a former Drill Team member of the Navy, I'm going to give a slight edge to the Navy Team.
Army, you did that!!! In honor of my late father who was in the Navy... the Navy drumline was tight, not a pushover at all but in my opinion, the Army won this battle. Thank you for your service and God bless!!! 😊😊
Ex army wife here, I appreciate all of our men and women in uniform, to me they both sound awesome, God bless all of our men and women in uniform and their families 🇺🇸❤️🙏
Aesthetically, Seeing the Navy snare drums play is more appealing than Army’s snares obstructed by cymbals. Percussion is a lot about seeing the physical movements, it makes it more enjoyable to me. Great job everyone.
I absolutely don't disagree here, but it's also clear that Navy's primary focus is on the snares vs Army on the quints. Just listen to which carries the lead in each, it's pretty clear in my eyes.
@@darkness4865 Dude the only sticks you play are the crayons, NAVY carries your A!! Later you might get a job at Wingstop, where half their offerings are drumettes, but even they won't want that Crayola taste you serve........ But thank you for your service anyway! We love you!!
The Army truly sounded more rhythmic and more lose like they're having fun. The second round the Navy loosen up and played more like they were playing for fun.
Drums are one of those magical instruments that always make me want to get up and dance! Got to give kudos to these young men and women from the Academies - they have some seriously tough academic and physical loads and then to put all the work they do into their drumming on top of that? Whew! Congrats to both Army & Navy on some seriously good drumming.
Enjoyed both drumlines! But, must say, "Go Army!" Our son retires this summer from the Army after 24 years service and he is just 41 years old. So proud of him.
Props to Navy for the snare line visuals. That was pretty dope. However... The Army took this drum battle, hands down!!! Groove, Swagger, and Overall Musicality for the W-I-N! Lovin' the Army Bass Line! Major Groove laid down whilst playing in unison OR splitting it up into runs, and progressions. Loved the Quints being used for what Tenors should be used for... MELODY!!!! Tasty Licks! The Army Cymbals had more flair than Navy, who hid behind the Tenors, looking scared and unsure, the whole time (no flair there). Army Snares held it down, but as stated earlier, were outshined by the Navy's visuals. Well done Drum Battle, and congrats to Army for the obvious win!
True story: the drummer who started all this was a Marine at Camp Pendleton in 1977. Came rushing into the room of my Marine Corps Band buddy and said "Hey! Listen to this!" and started playing and using the rim on purpose and the desk and the back of a chair to bang out exactly what I'm hearing here. Impressive performances and talent. Cymbal thing was a bit uncalled for, considering the Navy were in uniform. Still: Navy took it. #crayoneater #SFMF #ArmyNavyDrumlines
Both were anazing, Navy is more formal and polished, but Army is more enjoyable to listen to, much better beat and much more my vibe. The end was everything when both branches came together for the finale.
I'm a disabled combat Army vet. I was in my high schools drumline. The Navy's technicality and finesse was superb.
Thanks for your service. 💜
Thank you for serving!!!!!
Thank You for your Service. Prayers.
True but its boring.
I hate to disagree with you; I'm also an Army vet. My dad was Navy. As far as technique and finesse, the Navy cymbalists were off. Before the Army gift of dust.
First, Navy’s drum line is excellent. But Army has more of that swing and swag that can called soul. Kudos to both lines.
completly agree.
Exactly and that's the way the West Point Spirit Band wants it. The squids look like a bunch of stiffs.
Yasss....totally agree. Army got groove for sure!
The army may have groove but they were 2 different styles arguably the navy was more class. And much harder if you compare its more regulation vs exhibition and when you see tempo and uniformity vs the army's style one is much harder than the other in my opinion that's why there multiple judges
Wonder why lmao
Navy won hands down. Great job everyone. Both Army and Navy did us all, proud.
The integrity of the Navy frontline to stand w/o withdrawal AND hold a pleasant demeanor whilest under "powder attack prank" (which showed immediately on pristine drums & surely added a TON of uniform clean up time & effort) shows their absolute unity and trust in their team to take all and give all- TOGETHER unhindered to carry on at their best. 👏 Bravo!
NAVY line is small but mighty!! ARMY has show moves! Loved when both played together!!
That’s the other way around.
The Navy had the show moved to make up for being smaller.
They didn’t use the bass drums to their advantage like the Army or the cymbal line. They were like an after thought.

@@julianaadams5751 wow, what a history...thank you for yours and your dear husband's service and for sharing this! Enjoyed it very much! 💟 also am so sorry for your loss...dang🥀
Blessings 🌿
@@59Alaskan thank you so much. I've got so many memories, but they are never as good as the real thing, unfortunately.
Military mom here (x3). As you enjoy watching these talented young men and women having a spirited competition, just start praying for their safety.
May God bless and protect our nations heroes!
I know about the sacrifices that a mom makes. The sleepless nights, the worry when, back in my day, the mail would run late, or a cancelled leave. It takes a toll. My God hold and keep you as well as yours. Moms are always on the minds of the deployed. Know you too are a hero, just of a different sort.
Bless you, Mark. Of course technology has greatly improved (from 2002- to now), so now we can hear from our children regularly. But I can tell you there were many times that the 2-week mark (no contact) would hit and I automatically started deep cleaning the living room so it looked nice when when they came to do the Notification. Their dad knew better than to stop me.
Once, it had been nearly a month, I would leave my cell number on the front door. ('Hell-man' province when the bad guys played constant target practice on the satellites).
But I've learned three crucial lessons over the last 20 years:
1. It's waaaaay harder to be an Army Mom than an Army Wife :-)
2. God's love for us is CRAZY! I definitely didn't want to give MY sons' lives for a bunch of ungrateful people. But He did!
2. God's peace really does surpass all understanding: because I sure couldn't explain it! ☺️
As a devout band nerd before being an Army vet, my vote goes to Navy for sound but army had less mistakes. I spent years in the box looking and listening (critiquing) and there were too many Navy mishaps. They made their mistakes less obvious than the Army though. This brought warmth and joy to my heart!
that was incredible! loved both of their routines, just amazing!
A random TH-cam video to stumble upon, if only all conflicts could be resolved this way. Navy hands down. Beautiful resolution!
It’s nice to see that with all the rivalry and the drum battle they still respect each other. I went to one army navy game in Philadelphia and even though both teams wanted to win badly they still had the utmost respect.
Non-military college marching band member here. No matter how deep the rivalries go, band members don't hold the resentment that the fans have. I've been screaming at and cussed out by fans and players but never by band members in the 10 years I have done it. It's one of the most awesome things when we're able to mingle with the opposing band and it's just an atmosphere of genuine love. I'll have to say that the precision of the navy drumline gave them the win here though 😄
My dad was 82nd Airborne, he will love this video.
Both were exceptional. Loved this!🥁
Both kill it! Love them all. Great show.
incredible talent as an army vet i don't even want to pick a winner im glad we are all on the same team
They came together at the end and did a collaboration that was unexpected ive never seen an army navy drum line battle so at the end they are still one team one side I like it
As a musician my self, all I can say is....Freakin' AWESOME!!
It's a hard call here-loved the swing, rhythms and soulful feel from the Army's drum line (my husband is Army, so slight bias here), but also loved the concise, complex cadences from the Navy as well (my cousin did drum line for many years)---kudos to both lines and gentlemen, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE to our country!!!!
And gentle ladies!
And ladies. Definitely some ladies throwing down some beats there.
I liked the Army's beats best. Seems funny coming from a pacifist who hates war but respects ALL defence forces. Stay safe wherever you are now. 2024.
Navy was more musical than Army, but Army had some amazing bass drum runs. Great job both. As a former Drill Team member of the Navy, I'm going to give a slight edge to the Navy Team.
Army, you did that!!! In honor of my late father who was in the Navy... the Navy drumline was tight, not a pushover at all but in my opinion, the Army won this battle. Thank you for your service and God bless!!! 😊😊
Ex army wife here, I appreciate all of our men and women in uniform, to me they both sound awesome, God bless all of our men and women in uniform and their families 🇺🇸❤️🙏
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Both sides WIN 🏆 Absolutely amazing!!! Bless our Military!!!!!!
I am Army through and through, but I would give this one to the Navy. Great job to everyone!
This is fantastic prior Navy here. I loved this through and though. Both played amazingly
wow I only watched for 2 mins and the Navy got it just off of pure uniformity, precision, and presentation! VERY CLEAN IN EVERY ASPECT
BRILLIANT!!! For me the Navy snare drums have it!
Too bad the snares sound like clicking sticks on a piece of plywood.
This is a great show that Army and Navy have fun together, not competition.
Thank uou all for your service. Both excellent loved everything
Y'all were Amazing ! ❤
I was in the Army for 3 years and Navy for 5. I loved this friendly battle. The win definitely goes to the Navy. Be safe everyone and God bless!
Aesthetically, Seeing the Navy snare drums play is more appealing than Army’s snares obstructed by cymbals. Percussion is a lot about seeing the physical movements, it makes it more enjoyable to me. Great job everyone.
I absolutely don't disagree here, but it's also clear that Navy's primary focus is on the snares vs Army on the quints. Just listen to which carries the lead in each, it's pretty clear in my eyes.
The Army had a bigger group in the same amount of space.
Tactical battlefield communication and encouragement to stamina on the Line. SAR RTO OLD school.
Im a proud serving USMC the Navy sucked
@@darkness4865 Dude the only sticks you play are the crayons, NAVY carries your A!!
Later you might get a job at Wingstop, where half their offerings are drumettes, but even they won't want that Crayola taste you serve........
But thank you for your service anyway! We love you!!
Not only do the Navy’s team look better, they outplayed the Army. My late husband was retired from the Army, so it’s hard to admit to their defeat.
I was not ready for that quality
The Army truly sounded more rhythmic and more lose like they're having fun. The second round the Navy loosen up and played more like they were playing for fun.
I got the same feeling. ⚓️
Drums are one of those magical instruments that always make me want to get up and dance!
Got to give kudos to these young men and women from the Academies - they have some seriously tough academic and physical loads and then to put all the work they do into their drumming on top of that? Whew! Congrats to both Army & Navy on some seriously good drumming.
3 years in the Army and 24 years working for the Navy.
I am always impressed with them, and reminiscent with pride of times, good and bad, gone by.
Nice Video . Great clarity. I enjoyed both drum lines.
Loved every second of this!!
Enjoyed both drumlines! But, must say, "Go Army!" Our son retires this summer from the Army after 24 years service and he is just 41 years old. So proud of him.
Congrats to your son on his retirement God bless you all much love from an ex ARMY wife 🇺🇲
@@mygreatescape9617 Thank you, so much.
@@sharongriffith7505 you are most welcome good luck to you all and your future endeavors stay safe out there and God bless
Awesome and inspiring performance! God bless each United States military branch! Praying for your safety and staying healthy!!🙏🙏🥁🥁
Props to Navy for the snare line visuals. That was pretty dope. However... The Army took this drum battle, hands down!!! Groove, Swagger, and Overall Musicality for the W-I-N! Lovin' the Army Bass Line! Major Groove laid down whilst playing in unison OR splitting it up into runs, and progressions. Loved the Quints being used for what Tenors should be used for... MELODY!!!! Tasty Licks! The Army Cymbals had more flair than Navy, who hid behind the Tenors, looking scared and unsure, the whole time (no flair there). Army Snares held it down, but as stated earlier, were outshined by the Navy's visuals. Well done Drum Battle, and congrats to Army for the obvious win!
The Navy needs more drums... I'm a Navy Vet & Love listening to these two go at it every year!
man! navy's very clean performance. I'm very thankful for your service both men and women...USA!!!
True story: the drummer who started all this was a Marine at Camp Pendleton in 1977. Came rushing into the room of my Marine Corps Band buddy and said "Hey! Listen to this!" and started playing and using the rim on purpose and the desk and the back of a chair to bang out exactly what I'm hearing here.
Impressive performances and talent. Cymbal thing was a bit uncalled for, considering the Navy were in uniform.
Still: Navy took it.

Yeah, no class messing with their unis and especially their drums.
@@stanlygirl5951 That's the only part I didn't like -- the flour episode was immature, inconvenient, and unnecessary.
This is the only reason I'd go to an Army/Navy game. OUTSTANDING!
Both were anazing, Navy is more formal and polished, but Army is more enjoyable to listen to, much better beat and much more my vibe. The end was everything when both branches came together for the finale.
Great show on both sides. Hats off to our military!
Navy took Army to town! Loved how y'all came together at the end, Props to everyone!
Thank you ladies and gentlemen for your service. This was great entertainment.
Both are outstanding. It's refreshing to see young people, military people, squared away, dedicated, and focused. These kids will do great things.
They all are very good. In the end they all play for the same band.
I imagine that my grandfather's who were WWII vet's would agree with me.
The navy sound was so clean and precise.
Thank you all, for serving. Both are great. God bless.🙏😇😊
I am all about Drumline. It is impossible to just sit in your chair; if you do, you're dead. Lord have Mercy...Thank you very much.
