[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=186Fdc59tWY[/media] For those show don't know, [B]Blast![/B] is a broadway show that features only brass and percussion instruments. This is because the creators of the show are from DCI (Drum Corps International), a non-profit organization consisted of professional marching bands. [B]Battery Battle[/B], the above piece, is one of there most popular and recognizable pieces. [B][URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGkhiiM-KRg&feature=related"][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGkhiiM-KRg&feature=related[/URL][/B][/media] [B]Malaguena[/B] is their closing piece, and is filled with so much energy it gets me so pumped every time I watch it. It's again paying homage to DCI and marching band, because Malaguena is one of the most performed marching band pieces in the US.
holy fuck thats awesome
That was pretty damn cool. Reminds me of when I was at Summerfest, which is a local music festival here, where some amateur bands were playing on the free stages you could walk in and out of. One of the bands I decided to stop and take a look at ended up with a drum solo that consisted of 2 pairs of bongos, each being played by 2 people, and the drummers actual drumset being shared by 2 people. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Great stuff there, the first video is amazingly fast. @villa, North Vancouver?
My mind was blown.
I'm not really into music or drums for that matter, but that was still pretty damn awesome.
Am I the only one that finds solo drum performances incredibly boring? Okay, you can bang on stuff in a very specific way and it takes a lot of skill. It doesn't sound good, please stop doing it.

This just kills me with boredom. It takes skill but they just keep repeating the same shit over and over while jumping around.
The end of Malaguena just sent shivers down my spine. Very beautiful.
Holy shit, some of those fancy drum rolls they did looked inhuman, to say the least...

As well as the 'energetic' second video, which had me bored out of my brains...
I saw them live, it's an amazing and fun experience that definitely inspired me to pick up the French Horn. I've been playing for seven years now.
Well that was incredibly boring. I guess you have to actually play the drums to enjoy this.
This was awesome, it starts slow and builds up pretty awesome!
