Considering the audience he's playing for, DCI, that's pretty boringly standard stuff. It doesn't even sound interesting, it only looks interesting sorta. Back sticking, double sticking, traditional/match grip switching, tight rolls, rim play, blah blah blah. Yawn. You see better snare performances from high schoolers who have something to prove.

Thanks for sharing. I thought it was damn impressive. The 2 stick in both hands seemed just for show, but still his rolls were clean.

The all fingers playing, with basically no wrist is incredibly hard to do.

I've never seen a high school kid even come close to that.

I would love to see a video from a high schooler doing a better performance.

You've got to be kidding. The challenge isn't to find other videos of people playing the snares - it's to find people with better technical skills. These three fail that test.

edit: look at that - "coming right up" - and one minute later, you post 10 minutes or so worth of videos. Perhaps you should have watched them first. FAIL.

I've watched each and every one of them, asshole. They ARE technically better. Better stick control, better dynamics, more use of the 13 basic rudiments which you know absolutely fuck all about, etc. I could go on and on.

The guy in the first video isn't even breaking up his rolls to show his technical prowess with different length rolls, something even drummers who are still learning how to hold their sticks properly are already working on.

Get back to me when you know what the hell we're talking about.

Everything in this thread sounds like the same crap, except the above link actually took the concept and did something somewhat creative with it.

To the untrained ear, much of it sounds the same, yeah. That's why only drummers go to DCI :p

The trained ear will easily pick out 7 stroke rolls, 13 stroke rolls, combinations of different length rolls and will be able to pick out the flam in between them, etc.

If you just want some good drumming and don't know the difference, any dumb youtube video will do. :)

It is the same. Trained ear or not. One drum is one drum. You need more than one drum or it's not interesting at all.

Field drumming and concert drumming are two completely different animals, I should know, I've been a drummer for nearly 20 years

Throw session drumming into the mix and you have my expertise (session / concert) over the past 16 years :awe:
