Heres a video of the black fire drumline hailing from my hometown Brooklyn NY....They kick are corps and showstyle drumline that I believe no other drumline can match.They are number 1 in the United States.
Members of the C.R.E.A.M. Drum Corps know of these guys. Hopefully I will be playing for them someday.

BTW...Cream PPL..dont try to steal our stuff because NEC is bringin that heat to BAYDA..you know what it is.

Nice

It's good . . . but I wouldn't say best in the country

Let's see if I can pull this off... *clears throat*

If ya want ta hear a fo real crunk line, da BEST line in Brooklyn, NY be da drumline of The Brooklyn Rodgerers. These guys will throw down fo anyone.

I've never heard of dis CREAM corps. OMG i wudz jus like to holla at my lil bro arthur. whats up my boy?! Do they compete in DCI? I be guessin their name be a take on Cash Rules Everythin Around Me?

Theea be no need ta throw accusations around heea. I would appreciate it if ya refrained from doin dat in da future. Thanks! - aww yea foo.

Phew... did I do it?

But seriously... they were pretty good. They have a lot of talent and chops, but I would say they're still far from being the best in the nation. That doesn't mean they can't keep doing what they're doing. They're playing some licks and having some fun, and that's what it's all about.

PS - What was the deal with the arms of that kid that walked through the video? It looked like he was running from a bee or something.

LOL I like that little mockery thingy. Good Stuff.

And when I said they are best In the nation, I sure as hell wasnt putting them in the same category as DCI drumlines...NO WAY would I try that one.

But they ARE the National Showstyle drumline champions for 2005.

BTW C.R.E.A.M. Stands for The Creators of Rudimental Excellence and Movement and they are a Corps worthy of praise.

I'm not impressed, but I like it.

If there was a little more demand in the tenor part and a little more emphasis on cleanliness, especially on double stroke rolls. Near the beginning the snare line almost locked it in but it ended before they did.

Honestly, if you locked on those double stroke rolls you'd have a much stronger edge. If that roll was straight up clean, I would be cheering.

Nice. Takes me back to my old sling and leg rest days. I'm playing to a different audience now, but its all good!

All original material this time?

The boy in the yellow shirt on snare plays sextuplets for Norfolk State University now.

I forget what corp. he marched for. I think it was a D-II...

I've Always heard a lot about norfolk state's drumline, but I never had a chance to see them. Would you happen to have any links to a their drumline page?

Edited to include double-post.

BTW heres another Clip. My Favorite Part is the bass solo. And the ending is pretty damn sweet!

Very cool, loved the visuals! I've been on a quest to start a small 'show' drumline around here, but so far I can't find any way of funding it. Plus I'm gradumamatinging this June

Very entertaining! Keep it up!

Theres nothing like a showstyle drumline that can play difficult rudiments and still entertain the general public!

Besides the audio that I posted that's about it.There are some oldschool video from 87 floating around I'll see if I can find it.

*EDIT*
I have found the footage from 1987.

Video Footage Here

and

Audio Clips from 2003

I dig... not exactly the cleanest beats or best sound quality or anything, but for what they're trying to do, it's pretty damn sweet.

Are you going to live the rest of your life, crying about how somebody played your beats? I can see you now, telling your grandchildren (if you have any) about how your 15 minutes of fame was stolen by a bunch of highschool kids and changed the path of your life forever simply because you decided to post the score of some music online.

Just a little ribbing...



Kinda like when your drunken friend sleeps with an ugly chick


P.S. pm's

I kno its hard being distracted from drunk ugly chicks. But plz try to stay on topic

Diesel - Please read Section 12 Paragraph 4 of the website rules. For that matter, read through Section 9 Paragraph 1 as well.

He, who throws stones...

ya but these lines are really nice...pretty impressive.

*Sigh* Why do tehy hvae to do Drumline(movie) stuff? Jeez, I get tired of lines trying to be tehm form taht movie.

Huh? OHHH I see what your saying now. Which clip are you talking about? The second one is completely original.
In the first video, I think they just used that little drumline thing to..well.use it. A good cadence is all it is..a good cadence. If another corps uses SCV's " Double Beat " theres nothing you can do but enjoy..

If someone else uses SCV's Double Beat? Heh, we can pick it apart:

Now thats just sad...........

I'm really diggin' this stuff man. Its the cleanest show DL i have heard(besides the million dollar funk squad).

Amazing guys. Keep up everything you are doing with that!

blackfire is the best high school show style drumline around. it's always entertaining to see this clip.

Blackfire isn't a high school line. They're independent. These are the guys from the Brooklyn Steppers right? If so I met one of them recently. He could really chop.

Yeah. You shouild meet harvey, the big guy...he is crazy

Now that was some awesome chops.Everything sounded great, but not the best in the United States.

They were best in show for high school drumlines...and there 2006 jamboree video is even better..check it out! http://youtube.com/watch?v=5Qe4QnRrs_c

1 of the members of Black Fire is marching snare for the Bluedevils this upcoming season.

I've seen this video before, it's pretty awesome. =P

Do you know which snare is marching blue devils? that sounds cool..

Boonie...........section leader from last year.

Yea I used to play with these guys a few years ago at Cadets of NYC. Awesome players. Boonie made BD, and I'm pretty sure Alex Blake(Snare with the yellow shirt) auditioned too. I'm not sure if he made it though I haven't spoken to those guys in a while. Harvey(snare on far left) is playing down at Texas A&M now ...or A&t. One of those schools.

Harvey and those guys always had great drumming Ideas. He actually was featured in a video for a hip hop performer doing a lot of crazy stick tricks. I'll see if I could get that link up here soon.

Either way I always knew these guys would start something like this up. It'd be nice to see them make it big somehow sometime in the future.

Yeah man..they are good. Alex didnt make the Devisl but he made the Bluecoats Snareline..

That's nuts, because I know Alex ripped on snare but he was always the tenor player when I was around. Amazing tenor player at that.

BlackFire... oh wow i remember most of them, my drum corps had a battle with them i think.. See they improved..

i saw them a while back theyre pretty sick and im not that fond of show style

i like them...i like that they dont have that cockyness that i see with a lot of show style lines.
