Amazing 8 Way Snare Drum Battle featuring Atlanta Drum Academy

Amazing 8 Way Snare Drum Battle featuring Atlanta Drum Academy. Check out this snare drum battle from some of the top drum lines in Atlanta, Ga. These kids all are very talented and have amazing snare drum chops. This is an annual event held at Southwest Dekalb High School called "The Beat Down." This was the first year that they added the snare drum competition portion. Snare Drum Phenom, Jeremie Foster, from Drum Line 2 and Bethune Cookman's "Sudden Impact Drum Line" was the judge of this event.The Atlanta Drum Academy was represented by 13 year old Sadarien Riles(who was the youngest snare drummer on stage). He had to battle his Atlanta Drum Academy brother, Matthew Heard , who was representing for his home school on the snare drum.

They are are going to do great at anything. These men understand u have to work for excellence

[@ondrauscissell6952]

It seems that there was a disadvantage for all the drummers because the snare wasn't adjusted. It was either too high or too low which constituted bad posture in be bending over, leaning over having hand too far over the drum i.e. the drummer in the red track suit; in which I believe was the winner because he showed more rhythmic dexterity.

[@benjamingeorge958]

Most of the kids had to bend down in order to play the snare. As far as I'm concerned the snare is placed down to low and it needs to be higher. Other than that these kids can play very well even if it were to low. Nice job for pointing that out. Drummers can't play at their full potential because the drums set to low but other than that I think that it's not to big of a deal or difference in performance.

[@abioduna.1241]

Brilliant! When I was a young snare drummer, I never imagined that the art would evolve as it has. I am awed by the excellence in music education that the ATL Drum Academy is providing. I'm inspired. The Snare Drum Battle as a learning experience is invaluable. Being able to think creatively on your feet, with stress and people watching, is such a stellar experience. These young men might not realize it, but such an event is truly life changing. They are our future leaders, teachers, and renaissance men of the 21st century. Huzzah and congratulations.

[@Dutchalchemists]

Yes! I just commented the same thing XD. It was an entertaining battle, but left was very clean. You could distinguish every note, no flat flams. The only fault that I could see is he seems to fall off right at the end of his last run, not bad though. Neither of them have any flair (stick tricks), but their playing was among the best. To be fair, the guy on the right is so tall he really could've used a snare that was at least like 4 inches higher.
