One of the very best years of this line . To throw those plates around that fast that precise is phenomenal . Second dude in is just jacked! The intensity attention to detail precision and above all the sound make this the best section Of its kind

One of my favorite as well as terrifying lot moments was in Walnut, Ca. when I managed 2 get an awesome spot right next 2 them and every time he did anything w/the right I felt the wind rush past me and if anyone would have bumped me slightly from behind I would have been in serious pain. Seeing dude do his thing so up close and personal was one of the most jaw-dropping and awe-inspiring moments in my life, no BS.

the second guy to the left is my music teachers husband

This just proves how much of a badass you have to be to be on SCV cymbals.

i'm lovin' those crisp cymbals. makes everything SHINE even more:)

ohmygoodness. this makes my heart happy. &makes me want to march scv cymbals with a crazily intense passion.

i totally agree, the viper is a really complicated looking visual but in reality it's actually pretty easy, with a little practice and everyone having the understanding of exactly where their cymbal is swiping it can be easily done

Probably the best Video to show what Cymbal playing is like on the web.

After watching them a few years ago. i got a whole new respect for cymbal lines. lol

all i can say is that vanguard is the only corps that someone would put a video on youtube of just their cymbal line. balls as hell

My favorite vid of THE SCV Cymline (and it's damn hard 2 choose a favorite :b) and dude closest 2 the camera is my fave so far. He's just always got the sickest look and check out how ridiculously fast and aggressive he executes his Viper swipe.

This line has that bass that you can feel in your throat

you know the guy on the left uses old spice

it is fascinating. you guys rock.

absolutely awesome.

damn this is so crazy this is easily one of SCVs best years for cymbals

I march cymbals and I have never seen anything like this. Truly phenominal

2:13 is called the viper. Its the most legandary plates effect of all time.

How many pairs of Bibbs do they go through in a season?...

This is awesome! Our line freaked out when they saw this and now they way to do a scene.

"flagging as porn". Love it! Second dude from left is rocking a kickass beard!

best cymbal line ever

You're right. I watched this before I truly understood the greatest move ever created. :)

grooviest drum break in DCI IMO you just can't help but feel it..

sickest visual ever with the neck slice

absolutely!

It's the best you will ever see.

Dude. That was fucking badasssss.

So far...SCV has the BEST CYMBAL LINE I'VE SEEN!!!!!

It's what they do and have done forever, the show within a show.

damn!!!! my arms hurt just watchin that!!!! good shit fella's

i love badass cymbal players

Jesus christ, these guys are good.

Amazing

...and this is there warm up.

awesome

FYI, Viper is at 2:14 if people JUST want to see that. And I love how people are saying that high school cymbal lines can't do the Viper. It's honestly not that hard if you practice it through. I believe people can pull it off. My cymbal line did and it only took us a week to master it. So just because YOU can't do it, doesn't mean others can't. :)

yesssssssss sooo gooood

last year our high school cymbal line did it, it really is hard

Owned

i hope im good as these guys eventually. im the cymbal captain at my high school, and i make all the new freshmen watch this video, and watching their faces is the best part. by the end of basketball season we can do some of these, but not nearly as sharp as these guys lol

Emily Johnson same, but I’m in a middle school

sick...

their biceps must be MASSIVE

Those cymbals are only about 20 inches. Specifically Ziljdian Classic Orchestrals which are in fact very light, it's a sound preference that determines what the instructors want. And yea they have section leaders too, the guy 2nd from the left was an 5-year vet/age-out

@smartbluma my favorite part was from when i pressed play till the end. but ill say it cleverly like "when the cymbal crashes from start to end". and then people will go "oh, hey liked the WHOLE THING."

@thsma2009 No the "heaviest they ever marched" were Zildjian Stadiums in '07 which are also pretty light, Vanguard marches light cymbals but like I said it's the sound the cymbals produce that is important. An example of heavy would be 21' Sabian Synergys, but they sound like ass haha

Full of win

so fucking awesome

its tradition. you will never ever find someone on vanguard cymbal line with hair. im not sure how long they've been doing it, but its just how they do things.

Apparently, 12 people were killed while attempting the Pit Viper.

It builds character, getting beheaded.

I'm shocked that they march concert cymbals, I've picked up a pair before and never liked the way they've felt but damn do they make the perfect sounds with those things

Dauuumm Beastt!

Even 18"s are difficult to move like this. And the way they sizzle, you can tell the cymbals are on the thick side as well. After 12 hours a day carrying these (minus 3 hours for meals) I'm sure the weight just becomes part of the job. :)

woww i met some of them cuz my instructor used to be on the line with them and now he teaches the scv cadets XD

The Viper is the coolest cymbal thing, but 1:18 is the most hilarious one LOL!

agreed

That move alone could land them all in the hospital

@SweetlyDissonant highly doubted

The Viper is the visual move they do at 2:14....it's gone through some changes over the years, but it's still basically the same...freakin' scary!! And this is not a school band....the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum & Bugle Corps is one of the premier marching music groups in the world, having won multiple world championships. And if you think the cymbal line's bad-ass (which is CERTAINLY is), you should see the rest of the corps! And this coming from a Blue Devils alum...

yea... good call

2:12 always gets me.

I hope we get some lighter cymbals, we march synergys. Only 18" synergys, but that's pretty heavy for a freshman.

Nithin was the fucking baddest Cymbal Player i ever seen... All Santa Clara Vanguard Cymbals i´ve seen was pretty cool, but he was amazing... Also the guy who´s at 2007 JONZ Cymbal Line Video who stand next to Nithin was pretty cool too! I love Santa Clara Vanugard, the coolest and tightest Corps i ever seen, i was thinkin to be with SCV in 2012, when i´m 20

i had a funny mental image of what they would look like without the cymbals

The heads are purposefully shaved. I heard they aren't allowed to shave like that close anymore though. And the facial hair is optional.

LEGIT

I've only ever marched heavy cymbals, the three years i marched with Mission we had 20" Zildjian that weighed 8 pounds each

Since when was Vaas from Far Cry 3 in the Cymbal Line? Pause at 0:45

1:31 my favorite visual next to the viper

Have to say, 2:12 was pretty badass >.

@sarasaysyourface a DCI group called the Santa Clara Vanguard

damn, i tried learning that. shit was hard. almost died! x]

I know this video is about the cyms...but tenors at :47...DAMN. SEXY BEATS.

The dude on the left is too intense for me XD

1:30 GOOD GAWD!

fuck me! they are the most badass cymbal line ever!

they make it look so easy............its ridiculous

the center left guy looks like my math teacher.

Strongest section in drum corps? SCV Cymbal Line

I don't think I'll ever look at a cymbal line the same way.

oops my bad, they marched Classic Orchestrals that year :p i wasn't paying attention before

Don't you wonder what these are all called? Here are my ideas... 0:10 "Open the Door" 0:20 "Fall in Love" 0:45 "Slit my Throat" & "Pushes" 0:54 "Around the World" & "Air Guitar" 1:12 "Don't Look at Me" 1:25 "Rock-a-bye" or "Hack-Saw" 1:31 "Jacob's Ladder" 1:48 "Horizontal Jab & Lay it Down" 1:54 "Groove" 2:13 "ATTACK" 2:18 "Epic Facepalm" 2:30 "Superhero Pose" ...you're welcome

what is brandon (second from the left) wearing around his neck?

If you ask me....SCV still and will always have the best cymbal line in DCI history....

No, not cymbal lines. Just THIS cymbal line. They are the only ones who do what they do.

All I can think of is like the guy on the end looks like a dark version of Mario

What about the Crossmen?

what happens if one of those guys messup...try explaining that one to that guys parents

This is the reason I asked Leo to teach me and do Cadets.

When people ask what I play in drumline, I respond, simply, "cymbals". Then they proceed to make ridiculous gestures resembling the classic monkey with cymbals, commenting on how easy playing cymbals looks. Now I've memorized the web address for this video, and I write it on a slip of paper and give it to them. They never say the same again. (:

2008

20 inch Concert Orchestrals in 2008. No where near 8 pounds each.

Is that Nick in the center?

The guy on the left looks like Mo Farah!

Bad-fuckin ass. There should be some SCV/Santa Clara Vanguard tags on this video, though, I think they deserve some kind of credit.

how big are theirs?

what year is this?

hahahaahahha visual 0:40... only SCV, baby!

just curious. why the name "VIPER"?

@Imly55 It's a tradition for the cyms to shave their heads
