Seven young talented drummers who knew each other from the Basler Fasnacht and jointly cultivated the traditional Basel drumming, founded the group Top Secret in 1991. They wanted to play more than just carnival drum marches and began to mix the traditional Basel drumming style with other drum types as well as adding visual effects. This unique idea and the passion of the seven drummers quickly lead to national and international success.
Top Secret received an invitation to perform in the 2003 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Scotland. In order to participate in Edinburgh, new drummers had to be recruited and trained to enlarge the group so that they could develop a marching show for the first time.
Since 2003 the drum corps went on to travel the world, from Russia to Canada, Australia to the Unites States, from South Africa to China and all over Europe. There have also been further performances at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in 2006, 2009, 2012 ,2015, 2018 and 2022. Their exciting performances are well known for their precision, humour and thrilling tempo. Even Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth II couldn’t hide her smile when the Drum Crops performed for the Platinum Jubilee Celebration 2022 at Windsor Castle.
With twenty-plus years of passion, imagination and dedication, these top Basel drummers have proven themselves to be a sustainable world-class act.
And as far as I know, they are the only non military band allowed to perform at the Edinburgh Miitary Tattoo... amazing!
Thanks for sharing. I had no idea! Simply Amazing!!!
true on that, they are the only one non-military marching band@@TheBestlaidschemes
Unschlagbar in Peformance und Präzision.Ich liebe es zu zuschauen. Lg Jack
Thank you for that beautiful history behind this incredible troop! Wow!
James Cameron had to do something with all his spare Terminator robots... These guys aren't human. Incredible.
😂
This is Top Secret! This is Basel! This is Swiss perfection! Im proud on my friends!
I was a bass drummer at Military Academy in the early 80s. I know how many hours and hours of practice this takes. These fellas are absolutely incredible.
From Switzerland and thts jus th Hobbie, behind the aworj an Familie.
i am from Basel, i saw them many times, really incredible stuff, for me they are perfoming with modern aspects, thats great
So what really blows my mind is that they give you so many costume decisions that would give away ANY single mistake. White on black, the lines taped on the sticks, the huge feathers for head movement. That is what amazes me you wont catch a single error from anyone even with all of that opportunity. That's why while the fire was entertaining two flags and one drummer didn't ignite properly so it became very obvious. Their performance was flawless it just stuck out in the dark what was missing for that part of it.
I think I saw the Edinburgh Military Tatoo back in 2017. It was amazing. The Top Secret Drum Corps were great, but all of them were wonderful.
I seen them live ! Absolutely stunning ! By the way , the drumsticks are Flutes also ! So suddenly they played the Flutes also (that was at a different concert ) ! I will never forget this concert ! Wonderful
My son is a snare in a quad a hs.
They practice at 616 am to school and then nights, and march all weekend most of the year . This , and they only came in third in states . This is a whole different ball game of skill and joy . Love it
They drop a stick on occasion--I've seen it happen. Rare, but it happens. note the quivers on the side of the drums holding spares.
hello sir and hi chat
the event is named basel tattoo ( in switzerland ) and is a musician event with drum corps, military corps, sometime dance acts from all over the world. the guys you re watchin are the top secret drum corp. as far as i know they re not full time professionels but i'm not shure. i love these guys and they re absolutely brilliant. and yes live it s awesome.
so if you re planning to see this event live, you re welcome.
best regards from 🇨🇭
I've enjoyed this excellent group for years. Outstanding musicianship and choreography. I especially appreciate the tasty work by the flags. I am a drummer and marched as a flag bearer in the Michigan Marching Band.
Die Choreographie und deren Umsetzung ist Weltweit einzigartig.
Ich liebe ihre Darbietung.Unschlagbar in Performance und Präzision.Lg Jack
Simply stunning. What a dedication to their craft and not a step missed.
I saw these guys at the Edinburgh tattoo and they were absolutely GREAT...... the show they put on and the way they drummmmmmmm MINDBLOWING,,,,,
Saw them perform at the Avenches Tattoo in Switzerland before the pandemic. Insane! Swiss precision at its best. The other participants like the Glasgow Police Pipe Band, The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and others were really good too.
Great Reaction for this Uber impressive Swiss Drum Corps. At 2:25 most people don't realize how difficult it is to maintain perfect rhythm & synch while marching sideways around in a circle. Flawless & with the color guard, it had a kinetic effect. They couldn't even see their feet! I can't imagine the endless hours & weeks these guys put in to perfecting their craft? I wish they'd do s US Tour? I would be first in line for my tickets! ☺️
i do, and i don't play the drums.
🤘🏻👌🏻
They realize it, but they know the act quite well, as this took place at the Basel Tattoo, in their hometown, with relatives and friends in the audience. Over the years some parts change, but some exist for several years.
Maybe you can answer this?
When the snare line shouts, "..Top Secret!", they're the only guys the cameras typically show. Do the bass drums & color guard join in, or is it exclusively the snare guys?
@bruschmidt9943 I‘ve seen them more than 30 times over the years. ( this is now the 5th „ generation“) I‘m pretty sure that only the snare line is shouting.
I saw these live at the Edinburgh Tattoo. What a fantastic show and when you see him live, they are 10 times better than watching him on a video. What a fantastic drum coordination
same
When a stick is dropped they are so smooth and quick about getting a replacement you don’t even see it. There’s a video of them in a restaurant type setting where you can see this.
I actually have seen them live in Switzerland at the Basel Tattoo, you should definitely visit it sometime
In high school I dated a girl who was on a band that did DCI, Drum Corp International, the Santa Clara Vanguard. Those performances are AMAZING. There are drumline performances that are mind blowing. You must see one. You can find them on CZcams.
Santa Clara Vanguard. Best of the best.
Corp from shweisds, i am so proud to see that from my country.
your so rite about practicing. 6i remember back in the day we practiced so much i would be asleep and still on the marching field playing my quads. these guys are in a class all their own. its hard to get a few that can play and march at th e same time but to get as many as they have that are so talented is amazing. you gotta love it!!!
"it's crazy how they're so in sync with each other" That's because they're not human. They're androids. All plugged directly into Dr. Beat.
I respect individual drummers but this is a much different skill set. Being able to do both is amazing, I know some guys
These types of performances are amazing. 🖖 ❤
The dedication to hours and hours of hard work is immediately apparent. I absolutely have much respect
Thank you for sharing this incredible performance! Keep 'em comin'!
This school is very well know for being THE drumline that all other want to be.
This reminds me of Drums across America when i was a kid! Amazing to see and hear live!
Saw TSDC live in 2015. Flew to Edinburgh, Scotland (from Canada) for Day 1 of the Royal Tattoo. They were (and are) worthy of their reputation. Amazing.
Love watching their precision.
You should check out the Blue Devils and Top Secret Drum Corp practice in an empty airplane hanger. The reverb is insane and it’s fun to see how each corp practices and the differences in style and how they later get together and work as a team.
that was Blue Devils B Corps
@@Skaterptater pretty sure it was the International version of Blue Devils and not the "B' Corps.
@@kmabrudoesn’t make a difference, not the real blue devils
Top Secret and The Blue Devils got together a few years back. You should check that out.
Top secret put the blue devils to shame with precision. It’s not really what they play, it’s how perfectly they play it. That’s why they’re they best
@@fergit0923ify1. That was not the real blue devils. It was an international version of the line with not as good players involved
2. I’m sure the “blue devils” had minimal time to learn the top secret cadence. Also the reason they learned theirs was because it’s much easier to play.
3. Top secret doesn’t even play their music well. They are visually very clean and look great but they sound like dogass.
@@fergit0923ify You have got to trolling. Top Secret could never play what the Blue Devils play. Would love to see them try, they didn't in that video, BD learned their basic book probably on the flight over there. Top Secret play at about the level of a decent high school band, where the Blue Devils are world class. You are trolling, or completely ignorant.
@@TopDrumCorps There are high school bands who play better than Top Secret do in the video which has a billion views, but Top Secret's drums light up.
I feel that there is none better................would love to see them live one day.
❤ This performance! First time seeing this version, they have had drum-performances with other corps, so worth checking up! 😊
🤘🏻👌🏻👍🏻🤘🏻
They are amazing! I just love them.
That is more then amazsing it's fenominal!! Thank you for sharing it!
Welcome to Basel, Switzerland. Next Fasnacht 🎉
So much skill thanks for posting ❤
Das Top Secret Drum Corps ist in seiner Darbietung und Präzision Unschlagbar.Ich könnte Stundenlang zusehen.Lg in die Schweiz Jack.
This is wild!!! I’d love to see them in person.
I do believe this was at Edinburgh Castle, they are absolutely amazing as is the Edinburgh Royal Tattoo check them out
Hey Colby, please react to, "Top Secret Drum Corps Six Minutes of Pure Art". You'll like their incredible stick tricks!
You must see them live to really appreciate their talent and precision.
that moment with the flaming drumsticks... talking about some hot beats... literally
Wow well done. Great review for no one. Literally just watched it. Bravo.
U really have to watch the Performance from 2012 from the Basel Tatoo. Its my favorite Performance and its just the best one yet.
👍🏻👌🏻🤘🏻
IF I EVER GET THE CHANCE TO GO BACK TO SWITZERLAND, I WANT TO SEE THEM
its even better live
Just like NFL football, on choreographed pro TV is better than in the audience. These guys are freaking awesome!
Seen these on TV a few times but never seen the "swordfight" before. They are supreme, especially as they are not military.
I’m blown away, the precision 💥🔥
As a drummer myself I've always envied these type of drummers
leva me a ter a certeza que estou muito à frente no tempo nestas coisas .. conheci top secret em 2014/2015
Seen it Basel/Switzerland live… it was awesome!!!!!
Looks like one drummer viewed through a kaleidoscope. Perfectly in sync
Our drum line at the University of Nebraska, in early 70’s, would wear earplugs and this made it easier to stay tight.
Good point. I wonder if drum & bugle corps instructors wear them? The way we used to play while practicing in an empty warehouse in the 1970s, one would wonder if they'd lost their hearing? Bad enough in the horn lines, but standing out front getting the Mega blast of 70 full-on horns in your face!?
@@bruschmidt9943but that horn flash up to the box always gets an ovation. #wallofsound
0:18love how the castle guards are lowkey showing their fear of the Swiss
Top Secret who come from Switzerland are the best Civilian Drum Corps in the world. They are Amazing and have a great relationship with HM Royal Marines Corps of Drums here in Great Britain. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Not the best civilian drumline. Not even close
@@TopDrumCorps and what planet are you from and I know it's definitely not Earth. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴🤝🤝🤝🤝🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Would love to see these guys compete against the college drum corps like LSU, GRAMBLING etc…
Florida A and M marching 100
There’s a video of them with a college drum corps. I don’t remember which one.
Superior! Perfection! Love it!
wow. that was a great and valuable "check-out" ... especially the promo comment at 3:30 to subscribe
Colby: I would love to see this live
Translation: I would love to be performing there even now!
I have seen them live, amazing!!
Rudiments, Rudiments, Rudiments. ...And dare I say it again, Rudiments.
A day (or weekend) well spent is to attend a DCI (Drum Corps International) competition, or BOA (Bands Of America) Super Regional competition. The percussion sections of these bands are just phenomenal. BOA are high school age, And DCI range from high school age up to 24 (iirc). Not QUITE the caliber of Top Secret corps, but these young folks are not far from it. (do some googling... Seasons for both entities will be coming up during the fall months.)
In my opinion, top 5 ranking DCI and WGI Drumlines sound a lot better than this.
Also every now and then there’s a really stacked high school line that sounds better
But they’re still really good.
@@thenelsonbruhs722 Agree with you... My grandkid was a trumpet in one of the central Texas area bands that ranked as high as 8th tin the US. I was a "band-dad" for four seasons, pre-covid, building props, etc, so got to be around the rehearsals continually. Standing in the middle of it and soaking it all in could sometimes bring this old 70's-80's era drum line band kid to tears.
I'm not knowledgeable in this, but from what I've heard, Top Secret's speciality is flair. They bring an extra pizzazz to the experience.
@@aandpmanI had a trumpeter and now I have a battery snare . It’s agonizing to watch them practice in the heat and do it again and again, but when it’s on at states … magic !
Subscribed my friend. Like I said on the other video. I hope you can get to Scotland and see all this live at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. I have been lucky enough to go, and it is a full night of amazing displays and music. Live, well it’s something else.
🤘🏻👌🏻
It’s the precision for me!!!! 🥁
This gave the shills
Our son is in 8 grade and he is in band and plays drums and this year there going to Hawaii for a championship, I send him this video
I know he will love it !😎
CHILLS. Maybe I should close the window.
I have seen them live! at Edinburgh Tattoo a m a z i n g !!!
You get this with drum and bugle Corp and indoor drum line.
I've played with fire for a gig after seeing Cooperdrummer do it so much fun but can only do it once
What's the link to the original video? I can't find it in the description.
Look into drum Corp international. There're competitions all over the u s
Is there a link to the original video?
just be aware thgatwhen they are rubbuing around like that those drums weigh about 25lb each and are on hard mopunts which keep them level. The reason the crossovers work so well is because all the drums are at the exact same height no matter the height of the drummer. They are all approximately the same height so it is something thatis not that difficult but it does take lots of practice when i was in DCI we would practice 3 days a week in the winter plus a full weekend camp once a month then in the summer it was expanded to 6 or 7 days a week once we were all out of school we got on a coach waved good bye to our parents and were back on labour day to go home so for the summer we would practicew 7 days a week about 15 hr a day unless we were competing then it was only a 7 hr practice day the only days we did not practice were travel days but even then we would have drum pads with us to practice on the coach so we never really had a day off and carrying those drums for that long everyday gets you in shape at least plus being out in the sun everyday I always had a great tan by the end of the summer
Top secret drum corp is absolutely fabulous
ကမ္ဘာ့အကောင်းဆုံး

When the line of drummers were walking backwards, still drumming, not looking, that is amazing ability.
That’s basic marching ability required almost everywhere…
@@TopDrumCorps still not something everyone has the ability to do.
@@cathmcfarlane-noble2087 fair
Tremendous skill.
beautiful
AWESOME,, flawless
That's some bad boys right there
Are those Ludwig snares? I think my son has the same one. Trying to find a harness for it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! These guys are awesome too!
They are discontinued System Blue Phatboys.
Time to start train!
i couldn't keep time if someone pointed a gun , But i do love talent and this is it !
🤘🏻
look at the military Tattoo. Edinburg eG. ...
🤘🏻
We are Switzerland, we are THE BEST!!!!!!!
😂 Magic
Top Secret ; all are one..
Even better, watch BLAST. BLAST is a live show with talent culled from aged-out drum corps members. If this blew your mind...BLAST will crack your noggin.
🇨🇭 SCHWEIZER PRÄZISION 🤩
I saw them live and it was crazy. I am a drummer too and my goal is to play for the top secret
How old are you? Lol
Beyond remarkable. Dare i say
Perfect? I think it actually is
I think not
They really are the best in the world
They really aren’t
@@TopDrumCorpswho is it then?
🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭👍👍👍
checkout royal marines drum core at the military tattoo norway
This is Swiss quality
Top Secret is the world's best Drum corps. they are Legendary.
They are not worlds best.. Only snare and basses.
Look into DCI drunlines and see and hear the difference.
Top Secret are not even close to the best. Most of their rudiments and orchestration are pretty simple. Their chops are mediocre compared to the best lines out there. Any of the top 10 DCI (Drum Corps International) drum lines blow these guys away.
We played way harder stuff at Santa Clara Vanguard, even when I was there in 1991. Even the lower corps (SCV Cadets) played harder parts then this, and both used more complex marching and stick choreography. Our warm-up exercises were harder than anything in this video (check out Electric Wheelchair or Double-Beat - and these are just warm up exercises). Top Secret is actually quite average.
People keep calling Top Secret the best, but to those that know, they’re not even top 20. I even played much harder stuff in the UCLA drum line in 1992.
