2010 Blue Devils Drumline - Triplet Rolls

The 2010 Blue Devils Drumline at the Minneapolis System Blue Camp, warming up before rehearsal. Cameraman - Scott Johnson. He offered to take up close and personal shots of the quads (and Dean Hickman) for me.

[@Brian-rj1un]

Scott Johnson is so cool! He was very nice to the kid who wanted to record, and the kid was respectful. Amazing drummer, and amazing person

[@Bassliketheguitar1]

"Is that a video?"
"IT''S WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE, MASTER JOHNSON."

[@ArtisticGirl1113]

"No pressure Dean" haha Dean did amazing and so did the entire tenor line!

[@haha69sexnumber]

That split second of ungodly clean at @0:37 is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard

[@m.sepich]

I met Scott at the System Blue booth at WGI 2019. Seriously such a cool guy, I was a nervous freshman in high school and shook his hand. Should’ve asked for a picture with him lmao

[@alexgaeckle1540]

Oh man Joe you got Scojo to hold that for you..

[@kmtobia]

Woah, I had no idea this was you!

[@briancantero6123]

Hi keelan

[@Anderums]

Thank you SO MUCH for choosing quads. 3

[@AetherPhantasm]

God, i love how awesome ScoJo is. He is by far the most awesome drum tech ever.

[@scvanguard1]

So awesome that Scott Johnson did that!

[@paradiddlepedro]

i love how on deans tenors his beating spot on drum 2nd are like perfect but on his 3rd drum they are all over hahah

[@A7Xblood]

and THAT is why scott johnson is the coolest drum guy ever.. because he's cool enough to do whatever you want when it comes to filming this stuff... thumbs up if you agree

[@aidaneames24]

Scojo the cameraman

[@yousefi95]

scott johnson is so kind to record this for the kid :)

[@stevenspringer6099]

man that brings me back. had to do the exact same exercise when I was on the line back in high school

[@gildammusic5338]

we have 2 legends at our school, Dean is one of them.

[@Bluedevil93081]

@salarmander this allows for a quicker sticks out. If you put your finger in between, the sticks are already separated and easier to put into playing position.

[@bignate5991]

just got those quad heads....they sound amazing!!

[@DrumChick2007]

I can't wait to be on a drum line!! Man, I can only hope! :D

[@MordasMakesStuff]

So, did you get drumline?

[@kyliecashion3740]

@@MordasMakesStuff I actually did not. I got married and had a boy instead 😅 I still play drums though ✌

[@MordasMakesStuff]

@@kyliecashion3740 that's still great to hear!

[@TheBeedo11]

The synchronization of this is just to epic! *dies* X_X

[@sumthingmessy]

its cool that scojo takes the cameras and records for people. ive seen him do it a few times

[@vanhalenIOU1]

Really? Whenever i met him at a competition, he seemed super chill

[@lightningmcqueenfanpage4103]

Those matching stuck heights 👌

[@izavala11]

Love the drums pretty cool how my school has them now

[@danlini2021]

thanks, bro

[@RoxxyFOXX10]

O. M. G. Best drumline. Ever.

[@vivi7676]

Perfect technique is perfect

[@flaviolopes2613]

I was searching for some rudiments and found this....really cool

[@animelover3400]

Scott is the best.

[@1981TURBOTRANSAM1]

Fantastic!!

[@Jortizdrumz68]

the two outside tenor players are from the same HS and this years tenor line has three from the same HS that is really cool t

[@TheQuigs07]

@PoohStickProductions its an electronic metronome btw

[@chasenb0621]

DDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN!!!!!! went to college with that guy! AWESOME!

[@madmax875]

Damn, sick nasty. Especially the last rep.

[@deusvult6900]

Side view is incredibly satisfying

[@MsCparke]

their freaking robots

[@sp0ttedskyify]

i want a drumline like this :,( lolol

[@beastdrummer555]

scott Johnson is so cool!

[@666ChildrenOfBodom6]

@AlexThlangVEVO yeah the sean vega tenor sticks.

[@BillXHETASXCook]

Scott Johnson is so damn cool.

[@troupteamawesome]

Holy tan line!

[@drumdude91123]

Those quads are so cleaann :D

[@garylagstrom3864]

The way tenors should be played and sound! TENORS RULE😎😎😎

[@animythfameEm]

Get it girl

[@azurezaber]

when dean was playing a was legit thinking "is he the only one playing?"

[@RebelOnAWarpath]

@itachimercenary15 they used to use the mts1 or mst whatever it was, it was a scott johnson signature, i have like 12 pairs of them, they were great, i never knew that scojo switched em over to promark, till i looked at vic firth's website and saw that they changed the name of the stick. eh, promark and vic firth are good i guess

[@Yimmies]

@RebelOnAWarpath they are pro-mark brand. our school uses em but im not sure what the tenor sticks are called, i know the snare ones are called DC17 scott johnson signature.

[@prodigydrummer]

listen to that velocity!

[@xgigglesgotwater]

@MinnesotaHockey7 yes. yes they are.

[@kooliodrummer53]

Im in the same boat dude.
Except we have never had instructors.
so I have to teach and make up the stuff our line does.
I gained leadership skills that i couldnt have otherwise though, so thats good.

[@TravisConover]

that might have actually been perfect....

[@DrumChick2007]

Sureeeee. One day I'll be on a drum line (Blue Devils) and I promise I will not suck.;)

[@Infernopunch4444]

that was so awesome it swallowed my butterflies (in my stomach)

[@quintman15]

@crimson206 it's a sony cybershot, it's like two years old but it gets the job done

[@LpZil91]

scotts the man he always does this for people

[@presbarkeep]

EPIC SIC WIN EARGASM!!!!

[@MinecraftArtistry]

Because goddammit, it's the sexy-ass Blue Devils playing.

[@quintman15]

He's the guy that smiles at the camera twice

[@izzydez2467]

Never not amazed

[@HKadam91]

scotts a good guy

[@thatboydio]

I thinks it's cool how the qaud line is the same height so their drums are at the same height

[@crbndecay22]

Yeah, why not?
I mean theirs a lot that's able to do both, but if your playing tenors it's always matched unless your just adding traditional for visual.

[@CommancheDoyle]

@Bzong Yeah it was ScoJo

[@Skullclone]

They have rehearsals for their rehearsals.

[@createallow3126]

If your bored skip to 2:08 for extra wicked drumming.

[@chutdiggadut1]

no pressure dean

[@virtuosity7]

ScoJo's seems just like an amazingly friendly guy

[@beastdrummer555]

@Kissmykilt11 no..they are playing triplet rolls....like the rudiment...not the actual drum

[@CommancheDoyle]

@cddrummer96 I think both Vic and Promark have the Vega tip..

[@jayisamazazing]

haha i have that same exact warm up at my school its the same tenor split too

[@poopmcdoopdoop]

I was under the impression that they call it quads because they have 4 main drums and the 2 spocks are more of a sound effect... but who knows? probably Scott Johnson.

[@blueturtleteo65]

what made you choose bluecoats over blue devils

[@tbnrbranch2085]

um duh cause there definitely better like there's no question about it

[@blueturtleteo65]

TBNR branch they were this year, but that's just about the only time they were better in a cleanliness point of view. Bluecoats almost always has the better design in my opinion

[@Soundwves]

what is: personal preference

[@malditobandito98]

Colin Armstrong
You act like that's all that matters, man, at least Bluecoat's line has heart. Tbh, if I was offered a contract at BD or Bluecoats, I'd pick Bluecoats any day.

[@xxzhoutaixx]

what the fuck does that even mean the bluecoat's line has heart lmao.

[@Rawfulstomp]

I want those heads

[@gabrielQ5]

I Love this vídeo haha

[@mhsdl2012]

Dean Hickman is a fucking beast

[@2nosayno]

i like the guy with da blue shortss

[@KayliTV]

Dean

[@kylosme]

iv had one where im running through my house trying to find out where its coming from. crazy

[@tenortoad]

So Michael Cera plays tenors for the Blue Devils. Nice. ;)

[@novus_00]

damm! this is clean!!

[@MoustacheCloud]

@drumsman24
they look like a variety of System Blue by Pro Mark

[@Hhhsfrjejfjigitis]

DEM STICK HEIGHTS

[@masterdrummer19]

thats pretty sweet

[@jackhiniker]

haha i was there, i remember watching him film

[@derek1134]

I have one of those too but mine has a little more oatmeal around it

[@rikuantu]

It's funny, two girls were on BD's snare line. Two and they probably scored higher on that list then you'll ever be to Scojo.

[@smithdrummer95]

i took 3 showers today and this was cleaner.

[@poopmcdoopdoop]

Holy shit you should write a book

[@DrBeatDrummer]

i was at this same camp haha I was on the other side of where you were recording though lol.

[@hazda5791]

You do realize the guy recording is the drum tech

[@donnix6931]

I miss star of Indiana, that line in 93 was ridiculous, they got screwed out of the title and left dci for good

[@blakecorkill]

everytime I watch BD drumline I like how fierce the playing is, as well as the chops...But, I always feel like I'm listening to forceful down playing. I mean, it's great, but seems muscled. Probably the style they are going for, but I'm not sure i like how it sounds. (not talking about clarity and musicality, just the subtle downward playing style)

[@Jdogdrums7]

1:05 no change in hand motion, thats cool

[@CommancheDoyle]

@kunitky1 Scott Johnson took his camera.

[@DrnkTheWildAir]

DEAN!

[@TheMayZek]

scojo's the man

[@MyachiTipsandTricks]

how do hey do it all in synchronization

[@drumsman24]

@MoustacheCloud ye, cause of the tip but do u know where i can find white coloured sticks???

[@Pimpnastyy]

Scojo is so nice

[@penny3852]

well hello Dean ;)

[@crimson206]

ScoJo's the best haha. Hey what camera are you using?
