The 90, 91, 92 Crossmen were some straight up rammers. Love these lines.

This one is a proper work out 💪💪💪

Yea. This makes you realise how good lines were even in 92

I marched 1993-1994 -- great job with getting the style. Fun Thurston Beats !!

Jesus MERCY what a cool video! I was in the 92 Crossmen as a soprano - these cats were the absolute TITS from day 1. Thanks for this...

Thank you for bringing attention to one of my favorite lines of all time!!! As a member from 94 and 95, I would like to mention, the technique is still derived from turning the wrists. The arm movement is only residual. A result of allowing your hands and thus arms, to react to the natural rebound. By no means can I play even remotely as good as that now, let alone back in the day so do not think I am being negative! You are amazing. I just wanted to note that these guys had a ton of control even though they look "big". The drums were also a bit low even by those days, I assume to give more range of motion for volume. But don't let the big strokes reflect lack of control!!! These dudes brought a quality of sound that wasn't being done at the time...BOOTS

You would have fit in perfectly Geoff! Nice work!

I remember when Premier Drums came on the scene in the 90’s and everyone started using them much like Dynasty in early 2000s and Mapex today.

Hey Geoff! It’s been a minute! I’m glad I came across your channel. It’s good to see you again - back from the Bluecoats years…I was the one everyone called “mini-me” (if you remember back from that Stone Age). I’ll be sending a bunch of my students to your channel too. Cheers!

of course I remember you. Those were some great times. hope you are well, I assume you are still drumming?

The way we play the beats between 1:10 and 1:24 is after we play that part, we mix them together. We play the 2s on one hand and the 3s on the other hand and then switch them. It becomes a groove after that.

harder than it sounds!

This is pretty much the double beat exercise we used at Morehead State when I marched there in the tenor line for 2 years. My first year, we decided to create some fun little chaos by doing the triple beat part while the snares did the double beat part, and then we did the double beat part while they did the triple beat part. There's a third part our line always did dating back to mid 90s, maybe before? Not sure when MSU started using it in our warm-up routine; I marched in 2001 and 2002. But yeah; the tenor part with triple beat over snares double beat and vice versa was a fun thing but we only did that my first year.

@mrnicknick02 well you can't have the original sheets and share or sell. But you can teach bar by bar with your own notation. But tbh that's why I don't give links to sheets to allow the writers to still sell sheets.

Whooo. What a work out lol😅
