These 4 young men changed Black Drumlines in America. Natives of Durham, NC they attended Hillside High and Later went to North Carolina A&T State University (the school that the movie Drumline was based on). While joining the Marching band in (1984/1985), they shared the techniques with the Drumline (Cold Steel) and learned new techniques as well. These techniques laid the foundation for all Black Highschool and Black College Drumlines across America. This footage was filmed in 1982 in Greensboro, NC where these 4 young men placed 2nd in an all white Talent Show. These 4 men started the drumming techniques seen in the Block Buster Hit Movie Drumline, at the high schools and colleges they attended. Some would even argue that the Movie was clearly inspired by and was perhaps even based on one or all of these individuals. Pernell Briggs, Gerald Tharrington, Timothy Bryant, and Daryl Spellman

Some things will never change no matter who started what. Drummers have the BIGgest egos. Just enjoy this thing for what it is: GOOD!

argh!!! i hate it when snare lines change their grips in the middle of a show - either go matched or traditional. this ain't burger king, you can't have it your way! pick a grip and stick with it!!!and backsticking and stick clicks were old news even in the '60s and '70s - my grampa's high school line did that kinda stuff way back in the late '30s.maybe new to the audience, but not new at all.

Nobody "started" this. Music evolves constantly.The basic concept of drumlines has been around for thousands of years in Africa.

What do you mean compared to "todays" african american drumlines? I know some are terrible but have you looked a Norfolk State or Bethune Cookman?
