Here's one to check out Drumr
This one of the most amazing performances I have ever seen.


This link takes you to a video showing the most extreme
precision drumming while marching you probably will ever
see. It is from Switzerland. I cannot imagine how these
guys remember all the intricate actions and keep going
without being exhausted. Rockettes, eat your hearts out!

Hey Joel - I normally do not watch these things from beginning to end but this was pretty cool. Thanks - Roy

Thanks Joel,

That was exciting - I mean seriously, I was sitting here riveted.

To the Drummers, were the Bass Drums variable pitch or did they have several Bass Drums at different pitches?

I couldn't detect a change in volume as the pitch changed. The volume sounded the same even when it seemed like all the Bass Drums were at the same pitch.

How do you think they did that?

Oh heck, Joel, that looks easy...NOT!

I have no idea how they can do all that choreography while playing intricately.

I was in a state winning drum line in high school.

Man that was amazing.

I've seen the best that the states has to offer, but this was on another level.

I didn't see one missed beat.

A friend of mine was in the Navy Seals. Their motto is 'Don't train until you can get it right, train until you can't get it wrong.' Looks like the Seals aren't the only ones.

Got to "Chime" in here, sorry it's so tardy.

Guys, check these kids out.

Now understand that they did this on their own in their "spare' time. I actually shot this and the bottom bass player emailed me with some details. They worked 2 days on it for about 2 hours each day 2 days before this. While all the time working on their freaking incredible field show.
some practice footage of that without the marching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFaUNiVMxdk

Just my 2¢ for a bunch on literal amateurs. They PAY to do this!


music is life...just listen
