Bernie, I give permission to unleash the vid to the hounds, if you have the bandwidth. I know I was partly just hacking around but at least everyone will get a better look at the claw and Helicopter. If the vid was better I'd say submit it to DPLn but it doesn't really fall into the "I&E" category.

I definetely could not see the snareline doing that in the video you posted. Of course, I don't really know what the Claw looks like anyway.

The wrong link was posted, check out *Site no longer exists.*
We're playing the claw when we're in the diamond formation. Interestingly, from the date on this video, we changed the drill to keep us in a line during the claw feature the next day (Monday before finals) to make the claw easier to see.

I already have it uploaded remember Hulka? I just need to think if I want to release the address to where its at! He he...

I think I have 500mb or 1Gig of bandwidth a month? Josh can confirm this...

I'm sure there are plenty of "non-clawers" including myself who would love to see this instructional clip. I've seen the '95 field clip, but it happens so fast, by the time I know what's going on, it's over. I've also read the step by step guide, but for some reason my angle seems off, and the motion seems very choppy. Here's hoping someone can help!

I've seen the Pat Fitzgibbon clips as well on dlpn.net, but they're too fast to get a good look at the technique.

lol sorry about posing the wrong link.
I'm trying to get a good feel and trying to stay loose, but you guys really managed to take it that fast... it was sick. How long did it take for the entire line to perfect it into that unified roll, Hulka?
Btw, i can't wait to see the instructional video - i dont care if i dont learn anything from it, it'd just look damn cool.

Cleaning the claw really didn't take that long since three of us had learned the claw from Mark Casey back in '93 and played it at UK. The center 4 snares played the claw in the '94 show so it was just a matter of getting 5 other guys comfortable with the motion and matching their interp to ours for a smooth, open sound. I'd say the claw was probably consistently clean sometime in July. For those of you that haven't march drum corps, you can get good and play crazy stuff like that because you play all day, every day.

Ive seen alot a lot of you requesting to see the video, but dont think I have ignored the request! I havent been able to post anything on DLO for the past 4-5 days because of a computer glitch, so here you go. One thing though....Please dont go spreading this link around to everyone outside of DLO. I was really hesitant about posting the link for downloading, and the last thing I want is for my bandwidth to be killed! Enjoy!

*edit* Some technical difficulties...it will be back up shortly

OK...here it is again!

ohhh man, that is soo sweet!!!!
So, the stick is actually going COUNTER-CLOCKWISE? its like doing a back stick but you're doing it so fast, its going sideways? i dunno, its all crazy for me. my wrist would probably break before i can get it to that speed.

i love the shirt your wearing in the video Hulka...... Tom and Jerry rules.

for those wondering about the video...
Hulka said a while back that he's meant to, but never got around to it and eventually became disinterested in filming it. Why? Because he believes that figuring out tricky things and little gimmicks by yourself is the way you should learn them...it makes the experiences that much more rewarding. When I heard that a group of the Mods here at DLO were going to the Indy regional, I knew I couldnt make it. I did however ask Josh to take a video of hulka explaining this nifty trick, and thankfully he did
on any note, consider this a treat that Hulka gave permission to distribute this.
oh yea...this also explains why Josh makes the smartass comment "ya got that kevin?" at the end. hahahaha.
