Yea, that kind of solo is like timeless. Everytime I watch my 2000 tape I always rewind it like three times.

slight correction....the Cadets solo that really started all of the sweeps/scrapes/crossovers thing was 93 not 94. They were both very good solos. <P> Also, no solos I saw this year really stood out to me. They were good of course but nothing great. For sheer speed and sweeps I have to give to BK's tenor line.

did anyone see the 2001 cadets tenor solo before they took it out? i was almost the same thing from 2000<p>[color:"#800080" SIZE="1"][ 08-21-2001 01:01 AM: Message edited 1 time, lastly by mike ]</font>

they actually had two different versions this year, the first and the best was just straight playing no flash and it was pretty good, they changed right around the recording of thier cd, and added the behind the back crap, soon after tour started they cut it due to the fact it did not line up with the horns in moondance. <P>i thought it was a bad move cuz i always look forward to Cadets tenor solo, to me its the most entertaining part of their show, still not seeing why they won high drums [img]cwm34.gif" border="0[/img]

yeah they were clean, but they just didn't have the book BD or Cavies had. but its just my opinion.

Let me ask one question though, could any of you guys hear the percussion though out the entire show. If you could then damn you got some good ears but my point is that if you couldn't then you really can't tell who played more meat. Like last year the snare feature on the Cavies show was flashy but pretty simple, IMO, but I know that the Cavies do put <s>[b]snugglebunny[/b]</s> [color:"red"]a lot</font> of meat in their shows but they have to hold back so as too not over power the horns. What I'm saying is that all of the Div. 1 corps are bad a$$ (especially the top 5) and at the level they are at it is really hard to tell who is the best like 99.9% of the time. I think its just better to watch them and just enjoy the show and not worry too much about the scores.

ok here is the deal, Cadets have their spring traing camp 10 minutes from my house, i stop there on the way back from my practice, i've seen and heard the music with out the horns. <P>i've watched Cavies run their drum book in the lot at semi finals with out the horns,<P>and i watched Bd warm up at east, which included a run through of music without horns. <P>so i've heard the drum books of all three, and i can tell you Cadets was the weaker of the three. <P>i'm not a judge but i think just cuz your clean doesn't mean you should walk away with the big prize, now i was there on finals night. but i was not in front of those lines. obviously Cadets had something the others didn't, i would like to know what it was. it can't be that they were just clean. <P>don't get my wrong i'm glad they got high drums, its been a long time coming. but in my opinion this year was not the year, i would have rather seen them won in 93,94,95 or even 98. those years had some interesting stuff going on. but hey like i stated before its just my opinion.

i would have to say the 93 cadets, 95 bd, and 98 cadets.<P>marty

Hey Drumholio, can i get that music too? Thanks. My Fave solos are: '98 Cadets (how was it that clean?) Even though it was easy i thought the Cavies thing with the cymbals this year was cool. non-corp would have to be '99 WGI Dartmouth and Ponderosa. Oh yea, this years BD was tight. Can anyone tell me where i can get a tape of that UNT solo? Also Tarheel Suns "Ram" last year is the shiznit. Planet Chops has the music<BR><A HREF="http://www.planetchops.f2s.com" TARGET=_blank>Planet Chops</A><p>[color:"#800080" SIZE="1"][ 09-19-2001 11:13 PM: Message edited 1 time, lastly by Jeremydrum ]</font>
