What a performance - incredible precision like a Swiss watch! And my sincerest admiration to the videographer who found an almost perfect angle, allowing the viewer to appreciate the optical as well as the acoustics of this great Corps' performance . You kept a very steady hand, making the right adjustments at the right times bringing a smile (and a big WOW!) to the faces of millions. Thank you!

Ich liebe "Top Secret". Schweizer Präzision! Danke für die vielen wunderbaren Darstellungen :)

@Nick does Quad drumming I work on the recording end of things. We have click tracks we play for drummers and others in studio used to set and maintain a perfect tempo. These tempos are in beats per minute. I have worked with quite a few drummers that can accurately tap almost any beat per minute I request without needing to hear a click track first. You may have been taught different highschool drummer. Most professionals understand that tempo is time and Internationally time is measured in seconds minutes hours days years centuries ect.

It’s just a fact that top secret is tick city.

@@eddieperez7034 dci lines do it for passion as well!! They do compete against other drumlines yes but that doesn’t mean there isn’t passion. I’d say there is even more. I feel bad for the Swiss drummers because they don’t have access to what we have in the USA drumline/ marching band wise. DCI lines practice 10-12 hours a day for 2-2.5 months straight and go on a grueling tour. They even pay thousands to do it!! All of that to do what they love, be a part of a something bigger than themselves as well as knowing you are among the best at what you do in the world. I’m not really hating on the Swiss too much, more so hating on the people surrounding the videos. Almost doesn’t count, they don’t compete nor practice as much like DCI does nor will they ever. If you want to see top secret equivalent watch WGI. Those drumlines only practice on weekends just like top secret yet they are still leagues above.

Ya'll made me put my bread down. The precision was enough to make one stop eating. Hats Off. 👏👏👏

I saw this group when I was visiting Scotland, absolutely fantastic.

I personally think This Drum corps is awesome, as a dci fan. When people compare this group to DCI of course there are major differences. First off this corps is filled with individuals who do this year round... on top of work and school. DCI corps have more time to practice and fine tune because they have weekend long camps before having a month of 10-14 hour practices before going on tour where every other moment is spent working on music for 12-14 hours a day. and this is from May to August. It also helps to know that this corps doesn't compete as much as DCI groups. So for this group to be able to do what it does and can mess up and make it look normal, is very amazing to me. So stop going around saying this group is bad.

I will say, I’m ignorant and do not know how much they practice, but if it’s all year round they should compare better to wgi groups because of the lessened amount of time the performers have to learn the beats and get better.
