All MSU has to do is break out “X,” and everyone but the top few DCI lines begin packing up for the night. Good grief, the Spartans are insanely good.

As someone who is another big ten schools drumline, I wish we got the attention and opportunities that these programs get. Both schools are hands down the top two lines in the Big Ten. Michigan is great but MSU is on a whole other level as far as musicality goes. Both lines are superb though

2:55 Such a kickass part of X, love that snare feature(: And they're all grooving and confident, both sides did great.

Girls, stop talking about winning and losing. This is just a fun night for both lines

+Drwumingforweetodds msu doesn't jam through world books like its nothing lol, both are good lines with different techniques for sure but I feel like msu gets way to hyped up. I've been playing drums for about 10 years and been playing tenors for five years. This is good stuff and all but I feel like it's more crowd pleaser material rather than hard chop out excerpts.

Awesome video! I've been waiting a while to see the two best lines in the country go at it! 0:00-Martian Mambo 1:19-Ditty 2:26-X

Spartans in a landslide. M is decent, but the Spartan drum line is sharper and crisper. Their routines have a level of complexity that is on an entirely different level. The Spartan drum line has a well deserved swagger and panache that no one can hope to emulate.

I believe MSU's center snare marched Bluecoats

Thanks for filming and posting! Both drum lines are fabulous. These young stars must have been exhausted at the end of a long day--but they put on quite a show!

At 3 minutes my eyes voluntarily shut and the state of flow WAS ENTERED.

Nice video. Both lines look great. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for posting! Miss the era when I witnessed these in person.

Both are great. MSU takes this "battle", if for no other reason, because of ensemble. They're just SO together, musically visually, and how captivating your sense of ensemble is is at least as impressive at what you're playing. I think that UM's material might have actually been somewhat more complex and challenging, but MSU's visuals, chops, and the *complete* unity of sound was extremely impressive. Cheers all around for your tireless work and commitment.

Excellent band good music good rhythm

The tenor break at 4:35 they do a scrape, split...... insane!

Victory for MSU. Bow down U of M.

Best drumline in the big 10 without a doubt.

MSU's rolls are so clean

this makes my heart happy 😊

Very very very cool. I'd like to see more stuff like this!! College band vs College band. Such shouldn't be exclusive to HBCUs

Normal people will never understand how impressive getting X clean really is. Playing it alone is hard enough.

I dont know how I ever missed thie vid. MSU is fire as always. So damn clean with so many people. Always a treat. Michigan I really appreciate the Spin Cycle lick, love my Cavies!!

As a Buckeye, I'm opposed to both of these schools on religious grounds. But man, these lines are good and always fun to watch at games. I got to see UM up close in '93 and they were a great group of people. Plus, those Remo Legato snares they played back then were totally cool too.

People just dont know HOW much work goes into playing cymbals...I always had the heaviest set and holding them alone was VERY heavy on its own....biceps of steel those days..by my State flag y'all know my school!!

MSU FTW....again.

MSU no question.

So U of M actually has a drumline now... still not quite as clean as State but they stepped up from ten years ago

May be a U of M fan, but MSU looks so confident, but Michigan really does know how to keep a great rhythm, but with that fact, both drumlins are fantastic!

MSU love x and Martian 👽 where they do shots and oh that beat after the base splits in x wow shares on point👽🥁👽

Why doesn't anyone drum at attention any more?

State won with their take on the Blue Devils' Ditty.

msu all the way

Hmmm... Can someone explain to me why MSU is better? Michigan's drumline sounds more together... I kinda like MSU's cymbals more and the drumline's performance after and before drumming more, but in terms of drumming, I feel like Michigan's sounds cleaner and better. I have no idea though, I'm not a drummer.

+karatesushi MSU is playing more difficult book(music) better. The split quad passages and those singles in MSU's third piece around 4:25 don't leave much room for dirt at all, plus MSU has a better command of their dynamics. They do (in this video) have a little difficulty on the snare soli material, but some of it is ridiculous to begin with. This book is on par with any DCI level material, and the visual demand adds a new dimension of challenge on top of that.

U of M lacks fundamental dynamics. One thing that MSU definitely holds over their head.

STATE

These drumlines are both incredible, but this video is a little sped up. My daughter who is a current member of one of these bands noticed it, and she sees them perform these pieces all the time. Then we confirmed it by the people walking in the background. It's the whole video, not just one of the bands. But that's irrelevant. They are all excellent percussionists.

MSU was much cleaner than Michigan, but I wonder how they would fair against NSU Spartan Legend's MDFS.

from a show view Michigan all the way, drum view I don't care, that was just too cool to watch.

MSU was better.

Theyre good, but FAR from the two best lines in the country. Take a look at Jacksonville State University.
