Members rritter Posted March 25, 2007 Members Share Posted March 25, 2007 This is a video presentation of a Swiss drum corps which performed in Scotland . It starts out fairly tame but you will be glued to your screen after a few minutes!

Members agogobill Posted March 25, 2007 Members Share Posted March 25, 2007 What kind of drums are they using in the blast video? Are those roto toms? yep ... there is also a drummer playing a kit in the background (it comes in as they begin to run to the roto-toms) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 Yup. Mesmerizing precision. There was a live web cam link when I got there. Almost went that way. Dialup though. Got it off You Tube instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members agogobill Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 is it possible to buy tickets to see blast live. if anyone knows let me know how (via website,dates,etc) Here is their website: http://www.blasttheshow.com/ Blast! started as a Broadway show, and then started a touring company in 2001. The film clips are probably from London, where they were filmed as a PBS special. I went to this first tour, expecting to see more of that percussion, and I really shortchanged myself. The drumming and percussion is just the icing on the cake, as you can see from this clip: . A beautiful show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boomboomdrums Posted March 27, 2007 Members Share Posted March 27, 2007 These guys are hot no doubt. Just snares and bass drums. Very tight snare line. amazing. You know these guys put in a lot of practice time. While I have played in drumlines myself in the past and may again, is it just me, or do these guys (drumlines in general) play too many notes? I mean it's impressive and I'm sure what they're doing is hard, but after a few minutes, all of the sixteens and sextuplets with accents and diddles and rolls, it gets a little monotenous. Seriously, I think drumlines play mostly to impress other drumline players. I've seen high school drumlines that do more of a grrove thing and get people moving. Does anyone move to this stuff?

Members notamachine Posted March 27, 2007 Members Share Posted March 27, 2007 Yeah that's amazing. Even the flag dudes kick ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danrothmusic Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 boomboom - yeah, I think they can play too many notes, but they make up for it with the accent patterns. I think the idea is to have a nearly constant sound, with the accents making up the "melody" also, Stomp is sweet, if you like Blast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll listen to it that way next time. I saw Blast on the 4th of July 2002 I think it was. My wife bought tickets. I didn't know anything about it. It was amazing. I bought a marching drum on eBay soon after and have been practicing the rudimental stuff ever since. As a matter of fact, on Saturday I'll be auditioning for Snare drum for the Seattle Seahawks Blue Thunder Drumline. Wish me luck !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
