Jeff Ream Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 What's everyones take? I have only listened to 2 corps, but the guy pretty much called a spade a spade, was good at giving it up when it needed to be done, and giving everyone a fun tape that wasn't "tick tick tick" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bicsta Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I think he blew the BD quad solo. Kinda fuzzy, a few rims, but he went bananas. Otherwise, he called out some stuff I totally missed, which was enlightening. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B agreed! :) the snare solo was worse <**> Edited December 31, 2003 by Gbassman5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheezedogg 23 Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 i'm not a percussionist and I love listening to that guy while watchin the DVDs. It was also cool that since i'm not a percusionist, when you turn it on and he's in the drumline that soudns stands out more and I can really hear whats going on. I love it.

ech2os Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 It just amazes me how things have changed! I can still remember running home from school in the late 70's hoping that the new albums had shown up that day in the mail! And then giving my dad a hard time because he wouldn't take the time to record them on cassette and me be worried that I would never be able to listen to the albums when I got older because they would be all scratched up. Now we are listening to the judges while we listen and watch that kind of quality. Unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumholio Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 I got my DVD's today and after only one run through of the top 6 I realized a few things. 1) BD's bassline was nuts....the whole show was amazing from a bass drum standpoint. 2) Cavaliers had a very good tenor line. They had some really nice stuff going on. 3) I am now a believer that Cadets should have won drums. When I saw them head to head with SCV at Murfreesboro, SCV had them beat...but not by years end. Their pit was amazing. The snare line was playing alot more notes than I gave them credit for. Oh, and there is one snare roll that is so clean I about dropped my coke. I was very impressed. 4) It was nice to actually hear Phantom's percussion. When I saw this show live I can honestly say I didnt notice the line for the most part because of the absolutely stunning horn parts. I definitely enjoyed PR's new sound. 5) SCV was great. They had an amazingly well integrated book (as always) but what got me was the tenor line. They were playing some notes...more than recent years I think. Absolutley incredible cymbal line as always. 6) Boston's battery impressed the heck out of me. I saw them live and thought they were good...but I came away thinking more of them after watching the video. The judge was in perfect position for the 15 person snare line....great stuff there. I personally think they would have placed higher with a little bit more from the pit and more consistent heights toward the end of the show....still, wow, watch out for them in 2004.

drumholio Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 what exactly was hilarious about it? and I left out one thing....Phantom's bass line was equal to or possibly better than BD's basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
