Up And Coming Drum Groups

[ReeDaMan]

Up & Coming

First of all, I'd like to say that there are so many drum groups out there trying to get known and I would like to say that they all deserve praise and recognition. I feel the same as "badazz", about Pipstone already being a drum to have come up. These boys have come along way. Young Kingbird on the other hand, has some work left to do. Outstanding young singers, that come from a long line of famous singers out of Red Lake Minnesota, have work to do on their attitudes and behaviors. To be a "made-drum", if you will, it isn't all about the singing. The way that you carry yourself and your drum, the way you treat other young singers, this is all a factor when trying to be well known. The post by ojibcommodbod, shows YKB's young, conceited, mentality. I've seen these boys alot as of late, fine young singers, that behave like a bunch of punks. They always feel they should win, and get upset when they don't. Like the old saying goes, you win some, you lose some. Words of wisdom.
As for Pipestone, they carry themselves in a different way, humble singers that were taught the right way to behave and to compete. I saw these boys for the first time in a long time when they visited my hometown last Halloween. They set up with 6 or 7 guys and blew the roof off the powwow. When money time came around, they were shut out, wrongfully, might I add. I approached them and told them it was wrong, I put some money on their drm and told them they sounded good. They said that it was alright, and they had fun singing there, as they came to do. I was impressed by the maturity of such a young,"up and coming" drum group.
So singers take notes, it isnt always who wins that determines who the champion really is. Untill then you will remain up and coming. hoka

UP and COMING

I like what ReeDa Man said. Its all about attitude. And respect. I am from B.C and there are two drum groups from here and while they sound really good, they are very conceited and think that they should always place. When they don't one of the lead singers was complaining to everybody and said the lead singer of the champion drum group that weekend came to him and was all apologetic. This guy's group who are good singers are not only conceited but they drink and smoke up. I wrote a post ahwile back about drum groups that are well known who drink and use drugs at a powwow. You can usually tell on Sunday when it means the most. I was at a powwow and was MC at the powwow, High Noon was the host drum. They carried themselves like gentlemen. I mean they sat there all day listened to whoever came and asked them questions and always were ready to sing. They never complained about anything like I have seen young groups. I was at another powwow once and the host drum complained that they didn't like the clam chowder that was being given to them. One of the elders from that community spent the evening before the Grand Entry making it cause she really liked this group and wanted to do something for them. Her family brought the Clam chowder to the group and one of the drummers said he wasn't going to eat it. I was horrified by him and his attitude. I was glad that this old woman wasn't there to witness this. A really good group will gladly take anything given to them and realize that somebody has gone to a lot of trouble for them. That word "respect" is a real important one.

as 4 up and coming i'd have 2 say war scout (randi p.'s new group - look out for dem at toronto) and ruff riders (those 22sis bros (magwa(quinton), lyle, clyde and cornell) when they actually set up TOGETHER). war scout will be a force to be dealt with when he gets his "own" crew together. ruff riders when they finally decide to go their own way. good luck to dees boys!!

As far as NC goes:

Stoney Creek definately rocks (don't know if I would still consider them up and coming though, they've placed at a few of the big ones!).

Bird Town Crossing's definately got some potential to go far as well, (they just need to get their name out some more).

As far as getting better and better every time I hear them; Southern Sun's got my vote hands down! They've been jamming lately!

[ReeDaMan]

Thats the attitude that I'm talking about

Can't we all just show some love Hardcore? Give love and you shall recieve love, untill then, good luck trying to make the list. Remember young singers, remember why you are singing, why you first started singing, to have fun making the people dance, not to make some stupid list on the internet. Remember that and the sky is the limit.

Considering that the person who made the list is in Michigan, could it be possible that maybe they just haven't had a chance to hear all the drums out there?
