In an era where military tactics focused on long lines of infantry military bands helped animate the troops, also the drums helped with staying in step on the march

Keep history alive, not in museums...!

Badass rendition, my favorite.

I am Australian and I enjoyed Carolina fifes and drums performance 1812 very much,congrats. Walter Lucas.

Jerry Fielding has the best arrangement (from Outlaw Josey Wales)

Sound 100% authentic, great job!!!

Sends shivers down my spine!

I am in the New York Young Colonials and I am a snare drummer. I see that it says quick-step! We do the regular Old 1812 so I did the regular one on the drum-pad while this was playing! You guys sound great!

Made by Greg Starbuck. He is the main kepi vendor for the 26th NC.

Отличное исполнение!

Это прекрасно! Я рад видеть и слышать вас мои дорогие братья из Южной Каролины! Через океан я сердцем с вами

Omigosh, omigosh, omigosh! I love this march so march! Thank you lot so much!

I first heard this March in the movie "The Outlaw Josey Wales". I always think of that movie when I hear it now.

Thzis is the best version ive heard here on youtube 👍 great job guys!

Some drummers, definitely buglers, probably not many fifers, did play in battle. It was how orders were conveyed. Many units had full bands, however; it was these "extraneous" musicians who lugged the (ridiculously few) stretchers. Also, many 12 year old drummer boys were killed in action; I have a book about it somewhere. I believe one boy even won a medal for carrying his drum away from Bull Run while soldiers were throwing away their rifles. (In reference to below comment)

very good, the second fife makes a nice harmony to the main melody

You can listen to this tune in the open credits of " The outlaw Josey Wales", finally I find the name of this song.

Goosebumps

Sounds great.

Very nice!

Shawn Meade is right, we play Cooperman traditional Bb fifes.

Long live the South! My how quickly things have degraded in 10 years!

Cool video!

Ok thank you

Most field musicians did not perform music during actual combat. When the battle began they found themselves assisting the medical staff as stretcher bearers.

From the out law Jose Wales movie!

wow

can you tell me what kind of fifes these guys are using? im a noob looking to get a fife to record some tracks for a civil war game. i need a fife that can produce this sound. can anyone lead me in the right direction to quality affordable fifes?

I heard this song before but i never what it was

Down with the Imperial Eagle

Peeler fifes are also really good. Make sure the tuning is Bb.

Mr.Rotan , I know this might be odd ,but where did you get your kepi?

Nice! ;)

try searching Cooperman fife and drums

Флейты и барабаны! Очень воинственно!

Even as a non American, this tune is appealing.

How good was that? Delightful.

😊

Its a mod for Mount and blade warband called North and South. Pretty fun. Check out DriestBiscuit here on youtube. Im part of his regiment.

Gone to Texas!

You know what is very odd? At least I think it's odd; No one has taken it upon themselves to do an instructional video on KZread on how to play the Revolutionary or Civil War 6 hole fife up through a simple tune or two. I mean there are instructional videos for almost any kind of instrument including folk instruments, such as the Irish flute and bagpipes even the Recorder. Plus there's a lot of people on KZread showing off their individual talents with those instruments as well as may be throwing in a little ad hoc instruction. But there's really little to nothing, mostly nothing, for any kind of fife much less that particular kind. And some fife and drum corps is look kind of small. It seems to me that that would be a good recruiting tool to have some videos out there like that. Again, kind of weird that nobody has done that.

@@mikesmnell414 Well my OP is 4 years old and in that first year I was able to muscle through a few simple, slow tunes by watching flute videos for instruction on forming an embouchure along with some modified bagpipe chanter fingering. None of which really puts me in any position to teach others. But somewhere in that year I lost interest anyway and so now I just have a nice blackwood fife that I inspect and maintain about twice a year to keep it in good condition just for the heck of it.

I had a feeling that would be the case, just making sure, I'm a Civil War Reenactor/semi-history nut, I get a little anal about certain things I apologize sincerely

Drummer boys were 12 years old or 10 and had a 95% death rate in battle of them getting killed

The stereotypical "little drummer boy" was mostly a Northern thing and simply not true in the majority of Field Musicians. In North Carolina, which is the state we portray, an examination of the rosters of all state regiments found only 1 musician being under the age of 18 and the only reason he was allowed to serve is because his father was the Drum Major for that particular regiment. All other musicians were of regular military age. Some, like the Moravians of Salem, NC (present day Winston-Salem) served as musicians because their faith did not allow them to take up arms but they still wished to contribute to the war efforts and they were already talented musicians (the Moravians are still well-known to this day for their music).

Nice seeing this - political correctness has done away with all our reenactments. I loved the Tannehill show every July. Lots of band music, vendors, seeing camp life, the battle with men, guns, horses and cannons. It was hot, damned hot unless you got lucky with rain. People including reenactors passed out now and then. But then Obama did away with all this. Have not been back to that park since. I hate seeing our history, good and bad, swept away. Todays kids know nothing about our country and how it works.

No killing musicians
