Top Secret Drum Corps is a Swiss drumming group that performs incredibly precise, military-style drumming displays.

Enjoy!

Top Secret Drum Corps is a precision drum corps based in Basel, Switzerland. With 25 drummers and colorguard members, the corps became famous for its demanding six-minute routine performed at the Edinburgh Tattoo in 2003. With its invitation to Edinburgh, Top Secret became one of the first non-military, non-British Commonwealth acts to perform on the Esplanade at Edinburgh Castle.

Since its success in 2003, Top Secret was invited to return to Edinburgh in 2006 with a new and improved routine. They were invited a third time in 2009 and again in 2012. Under the leadership of Erik Julliard, the band is also responsible for the founding of the Basel Tattoo, a military tattoo show similar to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, now held annually in Basel.

And Ivan Zamotaev is the master of this instrument. Watch him play selections from Bach, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Star-Spangled Banner and popular ringtones all while pouring and drinking alcohol without breaking tune.

Russia’s Got Talent? You bet it does!
