I reckon that the drums only version is much more intimidating to an enemy than with fife too. Imagine those elite soldiers of the Grenadier Guards, marching silently towards your lines with JUST booming drums beating. No battle cries, no fife, no trumpet, just the impending drums.
I’m not entirely sure about this but I don’t think they played music on the actual battlefield.. don’t quote me on that but I’m like, pretty sure they didn’t walk around drumming on the battlefield
@@catfeline1530 Not at all, the British Empire was actually was the world biggest empire in history in terms of both landmass and population, the mongol empire comes just second
This march perfectly encapsulates the might of the British Empire. I like to think of the higher pitched parts of the song as the navy, the ones who are far more romanticized and get the most credit for Britain’s military might, while the drums, when with the full ensemble of instruments are only subtly in the background, but it’s the boots on the ground, the war machine, that doesn’t get all the credit but is the muscle of the British Empire.
Been looking for a vid like this for agges, the pipes are all well and good but its towards the end with just the drums when you realise that all pomp and circumstance aside, the brits were a brutal force of nature and WILL go down as one of the greatest military forces in the annals of history
That painting, depicting the 25th (Edinburgh) Regiment of Foot at Minorca, is one of a series that used to hang in the Officers' Mess of The King's Own Scottish Borderers (25th Foot).
@@richiesquest3283 actually the rate for more like 9 out of 10 ie 90%. Not enough men to hold what they won and the Brits stupidity of not using loyalist forces and population to their aims.
Far better with the fife playing as well - On the march and on the battlefield it was the fife and drum together and the effect is far better than the full orchjestration of modern military bands

Hot leaf water is the best.
The fife was the morale boost and the drums were the intimidator

Yes! Yes! Yes!
This beats "The Hell March"
Imagine hearing this in the distance and knowing you’re doomed instantly
Porteños laughing at the drums. ;)
It would be terrifying.
Imagine saying this on 1807 at BsAs
Until you hear Yankee Doodle.

There’s something in the power of those drums alone that’s purely awe inspiring. Rule Britannia!
I like how just one island was able to become the largest empire known to man
*One island and 3 other countries*
Actually that would be mongol empire, but England certainly had their day.
@@catfeline1530 Mongols were biggest land based

British and Dutch Empires are based. Partially because I am both British and Dutch.

Almost exactly why I made this myself
I’ve historically replayed the 12 seconds of drum only for hours, so this is nice.
Was the person who made this video British?
Right... but they are finished now...A Nanny State Abortion of an E.U. Utopian Dream right out of "1984"
@Matt Horkan not with out the french.

They were capturing future holiday destinations that far back! Wow! ;-)
When Napoleon was retreating from Waterloo, he had the Imperial Guard form squares, and had the drummer beat the grenadier.
Did he sue?
Yes, this is good
Very good
It Makes me want to march
I was looking for this for a very long time .
Thanks
The British empire the biggest empire the world has ever seen.
Roman Empire: Veni vidi vici
they lost the war against the U.S
The British won 70% of the battles the US had support from the french i think the British lost the determination in the end.
