OMG, this is awesome. I'm from Basel, and two of the guys in the video are close friends of mine. One's a drummer and the other's in the color guard.Basel is famous for its carnival (<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basler_Fasnacht">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basler_Fasnacht</a> ), and we have some of the most committed drummers in the world since Fasnacht is such a huge deal here.Every single drummer in this video has been playing for at least 10 years. They didn't win the Edinburgh Tattoo for nothing folks. These guys work hard on their craft and show, although I'll say I liked the one from 2005 better.On a side note, the building they're performing in front of is the old garrison and where I went to art school. I never thought I'd see my alma mater on digg.

you notice a huge difference when you're standing next to the guy who dropped

you have no style... or showmanship either, for that matter

Ok, but the routine was full of spacing, alignment and timing problems...
