This is THE definition of bass clarity.

There is such a high amount of swagger in that tuning

Tuned to the first 6 harmonics of the harmonic series.

I love the tuning of these drums. The low pitch and vibration of the lower drums is what makes the drumline 5x louder and some lines muffle the drums way too much and it just sounds bad but these are the closest to perfect as far as tuning.

RUSSELL- SUCH A BEAST

I played bottom bass out of the six in high school and was the best thing i ever did. The only instrument that plays as one with multiple people. Mad respect to the dedication.

The tuning of the bass drums remind me of rubber bands :P

Whomever came up with the idea to break down each chunk like that deserves a medal. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make sure that every note is heard and that balance, timing, etc... are equal from player to player. Other basslines, take note! Every note you play has a specific purpose, volume and metric interpretation!

5:00 for anyone coming back 10 years later

Best sounding bassline I've ever heard.

10 years later and the tap on he bottom at 5:24 is still single handed the coldest way to end a phrase.

I agree. Those 2 bass lines are my favorite. Especially because of the tuning intervals. They harmonize very well...props to the bass techs/whoever tunes the basses

Those basses are money

I love the drum conversation going on throughout the background of the video haha

tuned high to be heard over the ensemble to the box, by the way the high one is bass 0 its smaller than first because they wanted 6 basses

This is so impressive

THAT TUNING OMLLL

Bruh even the commentary in the back just takes me back

Hahah I love listening to the crowds reactions

thanks ryan

Wow. Bass Tech= Bass 2 of Bluecoats 2008 Bassline. Excellent ear my friend.

The amount of focus this takes.

Yeah really

ahhh, I see. Thanks!

I'm not trying to be rude, but their third bass looks like he's in his fourty's.

And here, it's bass 2.

#swagmoney! I love a good 6 person baseline

it varies, usually bass two is from what I've seen (almost never 4 or 5 though) 1-3 are the usual

Thank You ! Thank You for that ... Made the Blind See

almo$t forgot how fire this $hit was..

I want to make them laugh, they are to serious hahahaha

Get it bottom bass!

Money on the heads...because that bass line is money!

Really depends who is the best for the job. If the section leader is not one of the top 3 drums bass 2 usually taps off

yea i know i was on an ipad and wen i tried to hit space i kept hitting enter

For some reason they sound like those plastic tubes you hit on the ground and they make different pitched sounds

What are those tuning intervals?!?!?!?!They sound AMAZING!

Tuned to the first 6 harmonics of the harmonic series. The intervals (ratios) are all integers based on an octave lower (the fundamental) than the lowest drum. The ratios (intervals) between the drums are 2:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5:6 and 6:7. It's mathematically perfect harmony. It's why Cavies and Bluecoats always sound so loud and so clean. None of the fundamental frequencies of each drum are fighting with each other and are instead amplifying each other, as long as the players hit clean unisons. So the transients are in phase and all push air at the same peak moment and then the sustains all harmonize at peak efficiency.

1:24 Holy Shit

Ahhhhh gotcha

Where can I find the music for these?

why does bass 3 look like a 40 year old man

How do Drum Corps get marching bass drums to sound like that? Do they do a really high tuning process? I want to tune my bass drums like this. :)

USA number 1

So are the top 2 bass drums the same size, just tuned to different pitches? Or are they different sized drums?

This may be sacrilege, but the pure quality of sound and rhythmic accuracy may be on par with the Bluecoats 2008 bassline. Just me?

Those unisons. Mmm gurl.

you mean bass 1?

Did 6 get any 3s

Benjy Braude at 0:19

No, in most cases it's 2.

The background commentary is seriously cracking me up.

no they have 6 and bass 0 is smaller than normal 1

Bass 1 (sometimes two but in almost all cases 1)

i see you, DRAKE!

is it just more or does the guy in the back at 4:40 look like billy bob thorton?

Thers a bass drum smaller than the first one

Actually Bass 1 I believe. Or at least that's what he told me when I met him.

HA. My Mistake. Bass tech=Bass 1 of Bluecoats 2008 Bassline. I just knew he was in Bluecoats bassline haha. My bad!

6 basses? whaaaaaat

Nice pitch interval for the bassline. Great tuning, and no they don't sound like tenors.

How can that be? 2nd bass from Bloo 2008 is a black guy...

Money.

16, 18, 20, 24, 28, 32, i wanna say

Lowest bass drum is a C#

That was "money".

There are 6 drums, and they aren't even that high to be honest. I'm sure they didn't sound that high when you're in the stands.

Punnyyyy

Threes a

Umm......yes, they DO sound like tenors!! Compared to the way basslines used to sound like, back in the day, these fall way short of the word BASS. The Trips and Quads took care of the tenor duties. My word, where has the thirty years gone??? LOL However, the Musicianship is Spectacular without question !!!! AWESOME JOB !!!

The fundamentals of each drum are within the bass range of the audio spectrum, which is 60Hz - 250Hz. So still bass. The tuning range is simply wider than early 90s and before, which helps each drum to project at peak efficiency. Modern quads fundamental frequency of drum four usually bottoms out at about 200Hz, which provides a nice crossover range of about 20-50Hz between the two sections.

Auditioning for the bass line next year! Possibly second if I am ballsy enough!

Bass 1 actually. But I don't mean to sound like a douche!

Not a fan of basses being this cranked.

@johncoyle8551

They really aren't as cranked as you may think. It just seems so because there are 6 basses. I believe they tune up in 4ths and someone said in a previous comment that bottom is a C#. So the tuning would be: 6: C# 5: F# 4: B 3: E 2: A 1: D So the tuning for the lowing 5 aren't that cranked and likely at the tuning they would use on a normal year with 5 basses, but when they added another bass on top they just had to tune that drum that much higher to keep it intervals the way they like them.

one time my percussion director tried tuning like this and the bass 2 hoop split

Why are they all tuned so high? To eliminate the backfield echo in the domes? These sound like tenors. We have lost the full, rich BASS sound. Get out of the domes!
