Just amazing to listen too and watch. Thanks for posting it and well done

[@GeorgeLewis93]

I would say he is in the Scots Gaurds because the author of the vid is scots gaurds which is a regiment in the british army that also has one of the best pipe bands.

[@bergjagger]

Now imagine that being played on fifty snares, all in perfect sync...

[@Prevaricator1987]

Nice, so what he is the instructor for the army? And just curious is that a skull and bone print on the blue document on the table? Has he been instructed by superiors to annihilate enemies using his awesome skill?

[@EchosFromaBlankMind]

FUCKING UNBELEIVABLE!!!! I love this guys style and methods, phenominal!

[@isell4un]

Hi Simon, I don't know who you play with but I was in the 78th Fraser Highlanders to win a world championship in drumming in 1987. The folks making comments her have no idea of the clean and accurate playing here. Keep having fun! You look like a Great Drummer to me! Scott

[@DanielPantojaB]

HOLLY SHIT MAN!! THATS AWSOME!!

[@jonjeny]

[@ozzyoswalt]

Holy fucking hell!

[@Rocky66636]

[@scottbwalsh]

Imagine being paid to sit around drumming all day. Must be great!

[@OfficialMickster]

THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!

[@asnappletruck]

Damn...

[@niccornie]

rad!

[@wilstri]

Traditional grip in Scottish drumming (as illustrated in the video) is geared to use the thumb on the left hand to control your movements and the third / fourth fingers on your right hand to control movements. Your drum tech may be telling you how to hold the sticks perfectly like a dci drummer, but scottish trad grip is different. This is an Apples to Oranges comparison from an open style (dci) to closed (scottish). Also, notice his right hand grip isn't squared off as much as dci style grip.

[@01god01]

that was fucking unreal

[@sidescrollin]

thats awesome, what is he doing so that he doesnt move his wrists?

[@diceopoli8]

hope he is in the divisional band!

[@killercrabman]

looks good...sounds ace..maybe if some drummers spent less time waving hands about they could play alittle better but saying that anyone that says this guy is crap...prob cant play the drums or they would know how long it takes to get that good..ace vid

[@2007lacoste2007]

omg... n am a rebel :O

[@leganakopako]

Crack!

[@scouse22]

Yee ha, on yourself Grantyloon!

[@theultimatecaz]

oh aye lol HI SIMON!!! see ye soon most probably ahahahaha

[@Smitty47401]

lol, me too

[@darrengsmith77]

no he is in the highlander he is an instructor at the army school of drumming

[@theultimatecaz]

see to all those fuds who think his grips wrong. maybe you should take a look at your drumming and remember that were the ones doing it right. lol

[@Smitty47401]

^^^^^^i agree, its pretty BA

[@darrengsmith77]

it is not a close copy of pipe band drumming it is pipe band drumming he is in the highladers pipe band a scottish infantary regiment he is currently an instructor at the army school od drumming

[@henrikajankauskaite2658]

ACF or ATC instructor??...

[@Roddo08]

This guy is very good and technical...a pleasure to watch. It seems to be a close copy of Scottish Pipe Band drumming though...to the point where I ask myself - was he in a pipe band...as the top pipe band drummers like the late Alex Duthart invented this sort of thing....he is very good, but if you see Jim Kilpatrick utubes along the same lines, he is another level up.

[@willsvlog]

Army school of bagpipes and Highland drumming

[@danielsargent4894]

What country's army is that?

[@justinblueskys]

why the long face.... you rock, make more dude.. how do you make it look so easy... make more...

[@OldManRico]

Yeah, but can he put a Rowntree's Fruit Pastille in his mouth without chewing it?

[@Tentadish]

And I manage to do is scroll my computer mouse..

[@lemuelkyleconnell]

Shit... I thought it was bad ass.

[@nimajnebenneb]

amazing is not the word for it. (not sarcastic)

[@aaron2414]

That's how we were taught back in the drumline days... open up and just use our index and thumb fingers. Get the other shit out the way son!

[@Roddo08]

Okay, I stand corrected - I thought that - but for some reason I had this idea he was American...my bad.

[@maddoxhell]

You Clearly have as about Much Knowledge of music as a 2 year old

[@EidunNorway]

This bloke's amazing! wilstri, why be a prat? you are simply being daft. do a recording of yourself, put it out here and lets see what you can do. There's always someone who can't stand others being good at something, isn't there. This guy is also an instructor i might add, but if you're god..

[@zomgrolfcopter]

Lol, he looks kinda bored.

[@xEdgex91]

ever heard of a fulcrum?? guess not. real drummers tend to use it. and im not the only one who seems to think he plays wrong.

[@connorwhite560]

BEEFY he's using a closed Scottish traditional grip, non of that shitty DCI stuff

[@xEdgex91]

what exactly does that have to do with the correct way to play traditional grip?? you don't have to be in a good band or drumline to know how to play. but for my sake, i am in good band and drumline and yea i'll tell you this, I don't be play snare, I play bass but that's sad when a bass player knows more about snare than you do. and my tech is VERY good, marched dci so HE knows what he is talking about, so there for I know what I am talking about too. now what band you play for again?

[@NameIsAce]

And he looks bored while doing the wholw thing

[@ProDigit80]

I guess he works for the government! This is where our tax payer dollars go to!

[@kokophilly]

his traditional grip looks wrong

[@byaaa619]

horrible technique holding the sticks completely wrong, but sounds good so i guess it doesnt matter haha

[@pete4463]

actually hes holding them correctly. this is pipe band grip. not marching band grip

[@xEdgex91]

What awful technique...
