you know they did have to teach actors to drum. you cant expect to much out of actors, any one whos ever worked with one knows that theyre just puppepts do do whatever someone tells them. Playing required actual though process and this was particularly difficult for them.

Actually, they taught them the basics, for some shots, and then actual players, one called Snoop, Devon's double, played the shots that were showing the sticks hitting the drums. The only real people that played were Jason, and the other dude. All the other people were from real bands including FAMU, TSU, Clark-Atlanta University, and many other college showstyle marching bands. Just a little fact for you there.

Yeah, they didn't teach the actors anything but how to move their shoulders like they were drumming. Devon and Sean had doubles, if you have the dvd what the commentary. It's actually pretty interesting during the little battle thing between Sean and Devon while Devon is getting recorded.

Also - if you watch the deleleted scenes, either homecoming or dr.lee directs, Devon walks on to the field with the rest of the line and hes not even playing his drum.

Every other time you go through the solo you switch off hands on the three lefts in a row. So its actually Rlll(and you bring the right arm up with the visual) but then the next time its Rrrr, and you bring the left arm up with the visual.

Good job writing this down man.

And the pre-solo cadence - really good job notating that.

I was looking all over the net for this cadence...
I love Drumlines.org!

We love you more for searching first!

your not supposed to move your shoulders...

This is incredible! Would you mind if I use this music in my drumline?

That was pretty easy i also didnt find that hard and I'm just a freshman.
