I spent 15 years as a drummer with Top Secret. Best years of my life. Even met Queen Elizabeth in 2015. What an honour.
Nice work or should I say hobby?
@@robertheinsbroek3816 How is it a hobby? We are trained to fight as well.
Hats off to you. I LOVE Top Secret
@@Always-Hustle it's a hobby ruh
@@Always-Hustle i mean you should know cus u were in TSDC
Imagine a world where instead of wars with guns and bombs, we can use a Public duel of military bands around the world.
🙏
@@soflodoug as someone actively serving in the military, id have to agree that solving conflicts through drum battles would be much better. There's a lot less chance of innocent people dying in a drum battle. Plus a pair of good drumsticks costs about as much as a small box of ammo and lasts a lot longer.
@@soflodoug wow and violence will solve anything. Because you idiots think that "Ohh let's Bomb China! That Will solve our problems" but when China finds out u won't be happy seeing a predator missile heading towards ur home.
That would be awesome!
It would be Howard University, and it exists in a small measure. 😂
I admit I must agree with several other comments, how did this NOT get a standing ovation from everyone in the audience. Have respect people!
The British don't do that.
That's unreal the skill these gents have to be on absolute point. is nothing short of a masterclass in drumming unbelievable 👏 👌
I can only imagine the time and effort that goes in to putting something like this together. The music alone is one thing but the choreography...two different bands merging and playing and moving as one? Wow. Outstanding piece of work, gentlemen!

It takes ages. I used to do this
Note: The TSDC are composed of volunteers of their own merit, their own time, and expense. What was interesting to me was the Swiss we’re using possibly Dynasty equipment, but what did the RM use? Are those Dunnett custom? Those balls on the end of the tension bolts must be monsters to work around. I personally love Scott Highlanders and the First Continentals of the US Army. All in all….wonderful work!
@@Praise___YaH Mad as a box of frogs
clear winner is the audience for getting to witness such an outstanding performance
Brilliant, generous response! All the drummers are, of course, complete masters of their art. Lucky audience. You take care!
Cant agree more lol. Pure amazing
@@johnsrome8459 a
Absolutely my friend, spot on!
What do you get when you combine two of the best drum corps in the world? A spectacular exposition of drumming precision and choreography. Truly magnificent!
Not the two best in the world. But entertaining for sure!
@@TopDrumCorps Uhhhh, no one else compares soooo oh wait don't even trybto mention some U.S thing cuz they do not
@@MjC7192 🤦♂️ What’s the best drumline from the USA you’ve heard of?
look up dci bands like blue devils or carolina crown and you'll see how these guys are not even half as good as them lol
@@MjC7192 Majority of DCI or WGI drumlines would swamp both of these lines. And it's not even close.
Long lasting hours of practice, day after day, months and may be years. Outstanding.
I had the pleasure of performing with the Top Secret Drum Corp as a member of the Australian contingent at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Amazingly talented boys and great blokes to hang out and have a beer with.
that would have been a very "memorable" occasion, I'm sure ... it's such a highly professional level of drumming. Any one of them would have the basic skillset / talent necessary .... to be a drummer in a rock, or Jazz band
@@daddyo8642 Not necessarily. They are drumming to a strictly defined beat. In a jazz or rock band, you have to drum by feel because the tempo probably varies a bit (rubato). Plenty of skill is required, whichever path you choose.
@@daddyo8642 Lol no. They are part of a circus act. There is no creativity of any of the members needed nor present. It's programmed. You need a lot more to be a drummer in a band and carry a rhytm section.
nice
@@daddyo8642 It's really very basic rudiments with some backstitcking thrown in and not much else.
I love how the drummers on either end of the line will hit the imaginary drum in time with all their partners so that it looks just perfect even tho there is nothing there. Completely in rhythm and completely perfect. Even got the drumstick juggles right. That takes practice.
I think they have to, what if they have to change their position? And you are right, it makes the symmetry perfect. Absolutely, it is wonderful, and I certainly see why they do it, for several reasons.
It's harder to keep your free hand still.

😊😊😊
I'm almost at a loss for words. That was truly spectacular and something I'd dearly love to see live in person whenever I finally get the opportunity to visit the UK.
And as a former American soldier I salute our British brothers in arms. God bless all of you!
About the snare drums. Each contains a round badge of lumber from a famed British was ship the Victory from1789. “In keeping with British Drum Company’s fine attention to detail, the RS1 model produced for the Royal Marines contains a very special component. Each drum possesses, with the kind permission of The National Museum of the Royal Navy, a fragment of English Oak retrieved from the ancient timbers of HMS Victory, incorporated into the inside of the drum’s shell. ”
How in the name of God can you stay sitting and not give that a standing ovation. That was incredible
Easy man
That's a real shame! What an amazing performance.
TY
Well, it would look kind of weird if we stood up in front of our computers and clapped and would also freak out our owners if they see their pet cat clapping.
I stayed in my bed lying down.
When both bands line up 2gether, play in unison & on each others drum, I get goosebumps EVERY time! Doesn't get any better than this.
Can you even imagine the time and practice these guys have gone through to sound like that? Wow! Thank you for your commitment guys. I loved every minute of it. I saw you guys perform before the Queen in England many years ago. Kudos.
At one event they both did in front of The Queen they had not even practised together! They just all went on stage and did it!
Che spettacolo
Jedesmal bin ich sehr beeindruckt von der Leistung und der Disziplin dieser Männer!!!👋‼
The best private drum troop in the world meets the best professional drum troop in the world!! I can now die a happy man (especially since I am a former member of Her Majesty's Forces)! GO ROYALS!!!!!
the are from switzerland!!
@@andyfahrner1781 The men in military uniform are the Corps of Drums and Bugles of Her Majesty's Royal Marines and they are from the UK. The men with feathers in their hats are the Top Secret Drum Corps and they are from Switzerland.
The talent and practice and amount of time that goes into this is just absolutely amazing. This performance is incredible. 👏 👏 👍
When we did this in highschool band you have to give up your while summer to learn the music & steps before competions start. Loves it
not as much talent, but loads of practice, if you want to see something really impressive, then look up DCI drum corps.

A pleasure. Thank you folks
As a U S Marine Corps Veteran I love it from across the pond . From one Marine to another Semper Fidelis
I think these are Royal Marines Sir. But I see a lot of similarities in the uniform. Just ours don't look so, well noticeable.
@@mikejones2542 he just means marine to marine not, notice “across the pond” he knows. Oorah!🇺🇸
@@Camoflaugepencil Marine is marine, it does not matter fom who.
the are no marines the are from switzerland!!
As a former drummer this is mind blowing,thank u awesome drummer
Beste Drum Performance ever. Da gibt es auf jeden Fall keine Verlierer, nur Gewinner. Großartig ......👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇦🇹
For anyone who doesnt know, ANY country's ceremonial unit to unite with a college or high-school unit to produce this video is a HUGE compliment to the school on this production. Everyone can talk a big game on the choreography but theyre missing the point. The British Drum Corps has been a known elite unit. To recognize a non-military unit is a huge compliment.
The real magic is the lads actually remembering the entire drum line. I am in complete awe.
When I did it we had to go all summer to learn every beat-step before fieldshow comp. Loves it
You learn the different patterns (paradiddles) and how long each one lasts and then create a smallish collection of paradiddles. Still not easy though.
Such a showmanship and great discipline, I have NOT seen this kind of performance. It’s great to see this kind of discipline. Just F--king Beautiful👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
@@zazz69ed you are a moron
@@stephenrichardson1280 while he is probably exaggerating when he said it’s the lamest he has ever seen, I myself have also see high schoolers play harder music while being cleaner as well. Top secret is far from the best drumline on the planet
@@TopDrumCorps what is your problem, man, nobody said it was the best drumline on the planet. So why are you so negative on an excellent performance? What ever your motives....
@@erics.1149 what are you talking about.. all I see are top secret videos titles “BEST DRUMLINE ON THE PLANET” and al I see are comments saying the same thing😂 no need to backtrack when you’re wrong
What a stunning collaboration! Boy did the audience enjoy that!
I was lucky enough to be at this performance. What a treat when the two best drum lines combined-different style of each band matched perfectly by the other!!
omg this must have been so cool 😍
Are you a marine???
@@artisanrox yes
@@yungdolphin9130 no, just a lot of marching band experience
@@artisanrox indeed
Who won? The audience & we on CZcams. Thanks for posting this.
Notice how they have different heights but their drums are aligned perfectly... spot on
Explains why they’re sound quality is poopy
@@TopDrumCorps let me guess,a yank?
@@Anglo_Saxon1 huh
@@Anglo_Saxon1 Ignore Frank. He is a troll, he disses every European drumline, sometimes a hundred comments per video. We Americans with some actual knowledge of music think this video is stellar. Top Secret is magnificent, and peaking the CZcams charts right now. Frank is all over that, too.
Totally awesome!! The performance brought tears to my eyes 😢Thank you for sharing this!
One of the absolutely most mesmerizing things I have seen in years.
THE DISCIPLINE IT TAKES TO ALL BE IN SYNC IS INCREDIBLE. BRAVO. STANDING OVATION.
... all these guys are beyond "GOOD" ... we all won ... because we saw this wonderful performance ...
Fantastic! just can't get enough of this, spent 6 years in a marching band....so love it
I love how the crisp attacks of the Top Secret drums merge so wonderfully with the bassy resonance of the Marines. Truly a match made in heaven!
When they collaborated i literally got goosebumps..
Legendary Drum corps "Top Secret" of Basel, Switzerland.
Those guys have such a perfect timing, I assume they eat swiss watches to breakfast.
I used to do JROTC in Highschool and I was in charge of our schools drill and color guard teams (kinda similar to this, just more M1 garands and flags than drums) and every year we’d try and put together a big performance with another schools JROTC team from the area and I have to say trying to coordinate something like this, with a set deadline, constrained space to operate in, different methods of teaching and operating, it is beyond difficult. Now I was working with 15-17 year olds with little support and I’m sure these guys have much more logistical support and funding behind them but even with all that this is still a spectacle of precision. Utterly amazing.
As a drummer, I always come back to drum corps for inspiration. It's where it all started. Amazing video!!
The sound pitch of the British drums is just majestic.
The Marines' drums had a more marshal(?) sound. Loved it.
@@spikespa5208 martial, as in arts. The Marines' drums have a light snare, which softens the sound slightly. The heads on the Secret Drum Corps are tighter, hence the more percussive sound.
Imagine being a complete badass on the drums while looking like a musketeer. That's the type of person to fear lmao
Thank you all for your beautiful talent God bless you all 💖 I 😘 be every moment of your talent
Notice how the Marines on the ends are still trained to hit the drum beside them, even when there is no drum. This way they can put them in any order of the line, or remove any one person from the line, and still end with a flawless performance. Gotta love some lateral thinking.
For some people who don't know: music is a military specialty. You can spend your whole military career in music. You have to audition to get in after basic training, then after that, you practice and practice and practice, like everybody else. You get promoted up in rank and do the same things as regular military.
Wishful thinking dude, you lack of prove having achieved this high-end level ... go practice and come back in 100 years. 😣
In voluntary firefighting as well. At least in Europe.
In the UK, military musicians do basic military training and are then assigned to bands. In theatre, they don't fight, but if they were ever called on they would be medics, ambulance drivers, stretcher bearers etc.
With Basel Tattoo, these guys are chosen as talented in grade school-junior high. I know two of them personally, one since he was 2.5 yrs old. It's difficult. It's part of life.
You do realize Top Secret (the guys in black with a feather in the cap) isn't a military band. Right? They are normal citizens that go to work everyday from 9-5. They were one of the first non-military, non-British Commonwealth acts to perform at Edinburgh Castle. They are from Basel Switzerland and Baslers can be flippin fantastic at playing the drums. Some people start playing around with drums at 3 or 4. Fasnacht (Mardi Gras) is something a lot of Basler is proud to be part of. They say Fasnacht is the 3 most wonderful days of the year. Mind you they still say this if it's snowing, raining, and/or cold. To be part of Fasnacht you play the drums or you play the piccolo. Kids can take part in the Fasnacht celebration.
With these kind of band will lighten and inspire soldiers in their day to day duties.God bless them all.
Many thousand hours of practice on the stage here. Perfect, breathtaking! Thanks!!!
This is absolutely wonderful!
Watching from the U.S., outstanding performance.
I was lucky enough to see them at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo....truly memories to last a life time!
Could listen to this all day it is awesome. I have some friends who were in the marines,such a great talent
I loved the years I spent in my Drum Corps. I learned disipline and how to read music and turn the music in my head into some awesome routines. We traveled the world and met some other awesome Corps. Also went to universities and had sessions with other percussion groups. A lifetime of knowledge from these people.
The joining together of the parts was a superb touch.
I think we the viewers were the winners, it was amazing! Such hard work and determination. Thank you to all the members of both bands!
yeah but I still want to see them live...no chance in hell ,but,.......
einfach nur geil die jungs, schon oft geschaut und immer wieder von dr perfekltion fasziniert
What precision, talent and just plain hard working practices!!! Way to go men! Thank you for giving the world a few minutes of forgetting it’s problems!!!!
That was brilliant, the Marines and the Secret Corps getting together and their timing was brilliant. Well done both, it was well executed and brilliantly done.
@@prophettbjoshua8474 You have been reported to law enforcement.
@@chenry41 what the hell is wrong with that guy
@@raymondcarter1137 he's obviously some random divvy mate.Waste of space.
@@Anglo_Saxon1 seriously,that was so random on a video with a drum line that was so awesome and then that…mr Joshua thought this is a perfect time to lecture people about religion.
It’s funny,sad that he has nobody to actually wants to deal with him so this is all he has left.
Fabulous! As a proud English man, who loves the TSDC couldn’t me more proud!
Respect is the word for this elegant display of really good talent.
Every time I see it...it is amazing..excellent team work across.
The talent is out of this world. I've never seen anything like this. Amazing
The parts are drum & bugle corps arrangement techniques from the 1960s and 70s. Fife and drum also does similar. Great stuff. Drummers selling the art to the masses.
Enjoyed these legends at Edinburgh Castle ... the World is a much better place with them in it.
Saw them opening night in 2015. Incredible. Worth the flight from Canada.
I keep watching this over and over its brilliant brilliant, just brilliant !! ..... More...
This makes my soul SING! I can't stop repeating it! There aren't even words for me to express what this does to me! AMAZING! Thank you!!!
Now, that was some REAL drumming!
FRIGGEN AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The amount of talent that runs through these kids is unfathomable!!!!!!
Forte inspiração para nossos blocos carnavalescos de Minas Gerais, Brasil. ❤
Bravo gentleman❣ I had goosebumps when the crowd stood and roared with applause and awe. I would have been one of them. How I would love to see and hear their amazing show in person! Well done 😊👏
Probably the most impressive sound experience i'we ever heard! Goosebumps all over!!
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Brilliant 🎶🎶🎶
May i say that either no one won, or both "teams" won! But i rather say that that you both won together! A perfect percussion marriage if i dare say so! (And i did!) ;)
You need to go and see Stomp!
I will NEVER tire of watching this brilliance.
What an amazing performance! This is truly one of the best band performances that i have ever seen.
I love it! ❤
Just goes to show, a well disciplined team can perform amazing things! I love the fact you can clearly hear the difference between the RM drums and those of Top Secret. Brilliant work guys!
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 and 2018. Their exciting performances are well known for their precision, humour and thrilling tempo. With twenty-plus years of passion, imagination and dedication, these top Basel drummers have proven themselves to be a sustainable world-class act.
Their shows definitely have humour and flair!
and with that it has lead to them being involved in part of the music for Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning part 1. i love how successful they are making themselves.
I TOTALLY LOVE THE PRECISION AND PRCATICE THESE FOLKS PUT INTO THIS SHOW!
watch like, literally any top 10 drum corps and you'll understand what precision really is
best part about top secret is that they all have day jobs too.
They are crazy GOOD, each one matching the other identical like a mirror. That’s HARD WORK, TIME and dedication
Magnifique!!!
ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKINGLY GOOD.
The visuals are off the charts. Absolutely mesmerizing.
AMAZING. that brought tears to my eyes I was so impressed.
Bravo! Wonderful show. Been a fan of Top Secret Drum Corps for years. They never disappoint and love this blended performance with the British drum corp.
Not often I get chills..but that was absolutely AWESOME!!!!
I've always thought that Top Secret were the best drum corps but by God our boys did good!!! Amazing video. That's what drum battles should be like. The only real winner is us! 😀
So amazing! So proud of them.
Wow just incredible i watch the Edinburgh tattoo and i love it when these guys come on, to blend with our boys from the British Marines is just heartwarming, wonderful!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 standing ovation omg this brought chills down my spine. So beautiful even brought tears not to mention yes they are handsome 😊 love it. & thank you. May God Bless you all 🙏🙏
Back in the mid-late ‘70’s, one of the best highlights of the summer was attending a Drum & Bugle competition which was held on the football field of Monument Mountain High School in Great Barrington, MA. This performance brought back some incredible memories. Much respect to all. ❤️
Amazed and humbled by the talent!
I know they practice countless hours or days to put together a performance like this with the two corps merged, but it still freaks me out every time to see this sort of thing happen: I keep imagining that just one guy slipping up will screw up the rest. The utter concentration they muster to play so precisely is truly amazing.
An amazing performance to behold.
Precision... A well respected outfit I can applaud.
This is absolutely amazing, Thank You! ❤
The performance of Drum Corps soldiers are truly magnificent!! And your uniforms are so beautiful. You are very interesting and impressive. Thanks very much!
I saw this live in 2017, and have watched it many many times on CZcams.
And not one stick dropped....Perfection....at it's absolute best....I would have hit hands of the guys beside me, poked them in the eye, and probably thrown a stick or two....God only knows where....Amazing performance!!!
Absolutely brilliant !
Thanks to all of you for giving me thrills and tears. You are simply AMAZING !
ive saw both secret drum corp and royal marines live(separately) but this is on a completely diffrent level. Very talented individuals combined to make one hell of a show.
This performance will never get old!
Excellent, exceptional synchronisation👍
Incredible and off the rails!!!!
I’m not sure what feeling I possess after watching this amazing performance between the units. Surely speaking for most by saying I love it!! 🇺🇸. Bless you all
