There was a little deaf girl in my Sunday school class. She couldn't hear the music, but when the drums began to play, she lit up. You feel the drum with your whole body. It penetrates to your very soul. Love the drum.

Marching was one of the happiest times of my life. I thank my quads for being my focus and keeping me out of trouble. Percussion *IS* the rhythm of the soul.

I love how that one guy dropped his drum stick and casually pulled out another one like it never happened 😭

Same. Benedict, while entertaining, was more flash over substance.

Who needs coffee when you can just listen to this? I am wide awake now!!! 😊

I love drum battles. They make me happy.

See what we can do together! Amazing!!!! But they all count on each other doing their part. Beautiful.......

Great showing from both bands. EC needs to force one of those cymbal players to learn quads 🤣

I was just about to say that but their bass line is so tight with runs I would add more snares to equal the sound the symbols take over the snares during the crescendos…take the southern drum line route overall need more than 4 snares

Vikings Pride!!! ECSU will forever be in my heart!!! Attended ECSU briefly and transferred to another HBCU and graduated, My sister was a feature twirler in the ECSU band...majorette twirling baton with fire. She was fyiahhh and I witness her performance starting at 14 yrs. old. This band has always been fiyahhhh!

Great balance of drum corps style and HBCU showmanship I love it.

I marched in the Sherman high School drumline year 95 through 99 and there was actually a part we incorporated from bel biv Devo, songs poison . Check it out! Sounds like we have introduced some lyrics. My drum instructor is named lavell Jones

This was totally 💯🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥 drumline rule! I miss playing 🥁

My honest assessment: even though EC was definitely smaller, they projected more and had a better balance. They got the win for this one. Benedict's leg tenors and blast basses in the back overpowered the rest by a bit, which kinda affected the balance, but after listening to both snarelines at the low end, EC had cleaner taps and low height rolls. I kinda wish EC would get themselves a quadline to have the tonality and voicings, but that'll come. overall: EC: clean, balanced, but not enough voices, but also played original material, though it was a bit repetitive. No screw ups with the material or any stick drops, bassline knew when to back off. I give a 9/10 Benedict: fuzzy around low heights with the snareline, prolly because there's so many of them. Decent balance, little too much at the back end, original material, and good voicings. (stick drop at the beginning gets them -1 though, but +0.5 for a good recovery) I give a 8/10

I actually enjoyed hearing ECSU . I still think Bendict College has the edge over them with better balance and versatility but being that this was in a gym and not outside, I can respect what you had to say about balance and sound clarity considering the echoes from the enclosed gym space 👍🏾

Love melodic basses. Grew up in drum corps (timptoms and snare) and any time we'd see a drum line doing this I was mezmarized. One of the most memorable was the bass line for the old Kingston Indians. So melodic and funky! Loved it!

Thank you for allowing me tto see this awesome performance from two very good bands. Great job.

❤❤❤❤❤1st place to the purple and gold drum line! I L.O.V.E. when they play on the other's drum. I enjoyed watching their performance❤ The blue and white drum line was good, and all of them have GREAT are very talented! Keep it up 🫶🏾

I am a 60 yr old white man from the Uk, a musician myself, I play drums and bass guitar, I'm going to sound racist now, but................. not towards black people, but white, black people make me so jealous, why do they have so much rhythm ,and the best drummers in the world are all black, all my heroes, billy cobham, dennis chambers, tony royster jr, I'm sitting in my PC chair here rocking up and down , sounds brilliant.... keep up the good work, you should all be proud of yourself 😁

Spectacular! Stirred and entertained. Thanks!!

Well we know who won that show! South Carolina HBCU.

BOD 4 life but shout-out ECSU

11:00 was really cool

Tiger Nation has a bad ass drum line! Love it! Thank yall much

Both lines performed well. LOD is not at its full strength yet. EC was a worthy opponent and both lines brought great musicianship, presence, and showmanship. 💜💛 #LOD #BOD

omg im so dead. Elizabeth city was pretending to be asleep at the end. i cannot. too funny. both were so good

ECSU ❤️

So cool! Why aren’t the stands full??

E un coleggio fantastico wooow gruppo formation ritmo della musica e fantastico e pentimento loves tigers

2nd group was good

Love Percussion

EC sound nice, Benedict sounds fuller cause of their size and relative tightness, but ec was cleaner, I’d love to see ec get big enough to cover every instrument

Awesome

What kind of jordans are those?

AHHHHHMAZING

awesome😄

After the bro in the left drop his stick and the guy in the right look at it 9:38 and his face says - really ? after all that entrance we did you gonna drop that in front of the line HAHAHAHAHAAA

Elizabeth City got some fire on their cymbals

excellent.

This is real good

Right on….that’s tight

Ah man yall makin me wanna be in the drumline but i play sax🥲

Is part of the performance looking bored as all get out? Is it supposed to be an "I can do this in my sleep" vibe?

I was listening to some African drums and wanted to hear American drums.. your stomach, your heart, your appetite will always glue, to the drums, of your own ancestors, better than a Midwest native American, Africa, Hawaiian, Asian, or English drum. March on, playas'.. that's outstanding. It doesn't sound like you're from Africa to me. Whether we're dealing with military great-grandfathers marching and celebrating in uniform or natives in the woods by the Creeks, this is North American southern soul music. traditions cannot be transferred to someone different. Unity will always remain immaculate.. if we are supposed to be from Africa then why don't Africans use drumsticks, twirl drum sticks and tap cymbals? Where'd that tradition come from?

Alright!

Bass drum corps for the 1st band is crazy

Those grooves from EC..🏆🏆🏆 I get a sense the drum director plays the trap set. Their grooves are very trap friendly..

I heard that the drum coordinator took some of the old EC the late 90s and added some million dollar funk squad. That's just what I've been told. Although I wish EC would bring back acouple of their 90s cadences

Elizabeth city definitely did not come to play and was every bit impressive but omg Benedict had that shock and awe!

I want deep bass and drum lines from 5454 to west of sphs underground

Ok so Benedict won with a little larger drum line and a great cymbal line with great multi drum players but Elizabeth's bass drum line was the best

USA N 1 en el mundo

Love the steps!😏

Evidently you have never viewed the old Tarzan movies !

No quads ?

Purple kilt it

Love it! The 1st group won!

Is that school in Africa...

They were both ok, but for sheer cadence and style my money is on Ukraine's Crazy Drummers. Such a big difference if the performers smile through routine. Pretty much done with all the "hard" "we're all that" attitude.

BC BC! YOU KNOW YOU KNOW! Class 2007!

Benedict's drumline was OK; just literally OK. But, the main thing is I hope that they get some better uniforms. I don't know why they have those grown men wearing those tight shirts with what looks like cowgirls boots. But, I hope that they get some new uniforms sooner rather than later. They need to get some uniforms that are more suitable for men!

Lol bruhh what are you talking about. Definitely need to get your ears checked. Benedict is way better than okay. They had balanced Rudimentary material and a solid block that they set up. The uniform is literally a regular shirt that they chose to fold in the sleeves on and then they have shorts, band shoes and spats. Regular stuff lol 🤦🏾‍♂️ folks just get on here talking about anything 😭

Where the asian, nexican and white at? With the diversity and all... guess it only wirks one way

I finally found a white child at 8:00.

I see Norfolk mixed with A&T in this battle. Not impressed. 2nd line was better but all noise making comes from Cold Steel. Just being honest.

Benedict needs to step in time. If your gonna high step, then everyone should high step to the top of the drum, not some below, some above and some in the middle. If u can't step in time and be uniform, then get off the floor. Shorts is not professional. Everyone needs to be in time. Precise, snap ur hands up. Dont be lazy. Smh. E.c. definitly the win on uniformity, and execution. Dont wear shorts people.....smh -DRUM MAJOR USMC-
