Ode to the MSU Drumline

I found this vid a few weeks back. I never got a chance to see it on PBS ... but now I can share will all. Enjoy you Hosers



Note that I'm changing a head out when the camera guy goes down the line.... whoops

"dup dup dup" ... i miss that. Didn't that snare roll sound dirty? Man, your book was so cool. i would have loved to play licks like that.

Female in the snare line, she must have been popular.

Matt said...

Dirty snare roll??? At MSU??? ha. It must have been the recording equipment.

Ahh nostalgia.

Ouch... about midway through

shannon said...

But oh man did that look fun. Was that you starting off the tenor ditty?

Side note:
Did you guys know that the new Real Player will let you download these (YouTube etc.) videos?

shannon said...

Wow... you use Real Player?

Matt said...

All the tenors start together....

And no... didn't know you could do that with Real Player. Nice to know

In the link you posted- at 0:53 i guess i was thrown off by the dude at the left not playing at first. And it sounded like one dude- pretty clean!

ScrewGoogle said...

Dirty or not, I like the beat in that link. Thats one from MSU I hadn't heard before.


As for Real Player, I had to d/l the latest to watch an AI video. It seems much nicer than it used to be. And after install, whenever I roll my cursor over a youtube video, it pops up asking if I'd like to download... Cool.

Shannon - thought you were talking about Ditty, the actual piece, but I see now that you were talking about the Reich thing. No... I didn't start it. The guy next to me did and then I was the third to enter.
