Their side-stick extravaganza comes ornamented with visual quirks, from tapping the sides of their drums to flipping their sticks to play at the base end, producing the sounds of galloping horses to a dead-quiet crowd.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"THE OFFICIAL Hot Scots drum line - 2011 - Nigel - Talent Show at LHHS\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6iuD3pSgBcw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>But by the time they hit the main grooves, their velocious beats sound like machine-gun fire as the audience hoots and hollers to the drummers\u2019 rhythmic anarchy. Somehow, their intricate and oddly captivating routine was crafted in less than a week!<\/p>\n<p>Comedic skits lace and crown the performance. One by one, the drummers progress into a snare roll, but the last guy misses his cue and gets a literal kick up the backside to get him back on track. Subtle dance moves like looking side to side and lifting a leg progress into all five drummers running circles around their line of instruments, all whilst maintaining the beat flawlessly.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"School Talent Show Drum Duet\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uPEaCAV6HOM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nWith so much non-melodic noise swarming the stage, the boys break the near-cacophony for drum solos as exceptional as their group effort. One boy flips seamlessly between the two tails of his drumsticks whilst playing a marching band beat, as the other four strike hard poses before rejoining for a shockingly awesome second round of sidestick choreography.<\/p>\n<p>The diversity of the group\u2019s beats is completely crowd-rallying, but when the drummers quit their instruments to sing the chorus of Rick Astley\u2019s \u201cNever Gonna Give You Up,\u201d they tap into every audience member\u2019s sense of humor. One guy even interrupts the proceeding rhythms, shouting, \u201cAwh I lost the game!\u201d to a roar of laughter. 2011 was a simpler time.<\/p>\n<p>The central drummer soon gets his time to shine \u2013 catching drumsticks in mid-air and playing like a stuntman whilst crouching beside the kit, balancing one end of the drumstick on his face and keeping it tapping in time by playing another stick above. Snippets of call and response are finished with the drummers reaching over to tap each other\u2019s instruments. Finishing this awesome set, the boys make full use of their kilts and moon their audience (thank God they\u2019re not real Scots, and wore underwear beneath!)<\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t get enough of this clip at The Music Man, and it\u2019s no surprise these boys ended up winning the entire talent show, winning 29.6M+ views on YouTube in the process!<\/p>\n<p>Posted in Musician<br \/>\nTagged Musician<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2011, five drummers from Florida\u2019s Lake Howell High School fronted one of the best school talent show performances we\u2019ve ever seen here at The Music Man:&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14984,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14983"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14983\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14985,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14983\/revisions\/14985"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
