[@CoryWongMusic]

is it odd that i play guitar along to this?

[@ashtonvanderveur5971]

Yoooooo

[@nathannguyen4440]

WHOA

[@clayjohnson3736]

Video of this or it did not happen... :)

[@sonicobsessions947]

Video or didn't happened

[@abysssss]

it _YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU_ played with Dirty Loops an errythang

[@MarchingVlogs]

Oh Yes. BTW, just for the record... All shot within 2 hours... This man showed up and nailed it.

[@hymmz360]

All I know is that Bluecoats 2021 is gonna have a killer snare line with these auditions. Killer work dude

[@cebh26]

Now do it off the left

[@GLUTENX]

exactly lol

[@zachalderson5608]

The most consistent playing I have ever seen

[@cartermize6651]

Been staring at his stick heights and drooling...

[@mr.diddle4853]

It's crazy to think he's had almost a decade of drumming under his belt

[@hunterritchie7582]

Wow I wonder if he will make it...

[@JRBanitt]

Zach, man, you've been doing this activity forever. You were already killin it even in the chino days, and you've only gotten better and better. These kinda chops and the consistency of everything you play would give even brandon olander a run for his money! Never stop crushin it, and i wish you a happy age out season even if it's not exactly what you expected. 😂

[@gentrywalker]

multi beat honestly sounds like as much of a brain workout as it is a chops workout.

[@ivangonzalez5720]

That's always how I've seen the exercise too. Like anytime I see a drumline play it, it's more of a flex than a lot of notes all the 💪🏾 just how I see it though

[@tstew258]

It definitely is, though really it’s just shifting which partial of your multi pattern is lining up with the downbeat. Once you just figure out what you’re lining up with and keep your hands going, it’s not super tough. Of course, his sound quality and calm is a testament to how there is more to it than *just* the timing

[@kidtaco]

How can someone possibly dislike this? I'm a kit player who is not really into marching stuff in general, but this is off the hook. So clean!

[@thedarkknight5701]

Some of the best snare drumming I have ever seen/heard. Well done!

[@HE360]

This is an EXCELLENT video!! And furthermore, I could tell that you worked very very hard to perfect what you're playing. And you got great focus and consistency. And I think that's what drum corps are looking for. You definitely got what it takes!

[@k.w.jennings4768]

Excellent quality, control, form and articulation at all playing levels. Wow!

[@terrancewicks4079]

This was great to watch and keep my attention! Nice playing, sound, camera angle and distance, setting, and progression of exercises.

[@ralyks._rgw]

Love Zach, seeing his licks and playing on Instagram inspire me to get better each day 🔥

[@noahhaseloff6180]

The moeller modulations hurt my head.

[@skifihls6858]

Unbelievably clean Zach. I’ve been playing since before you were born and you’re playing at a level I have yet to attain. Terrific work!

[@thejman7399]

Outstanding young man, epitome of control and endless chops! Extremely tight is an understatement!

[@boolin5162]

The 5lets in Double D are by far my favorite (semi) new edit to the packet... especially when played at this level

[@Matt-cc3uz]

I love the sound of that snare!

[@christianboose444]

Your flams are some of the cleanest I've heard. There is the occasional pop, but overall, they are incredibly clean. Keep it up. I hope you got in this year!

[@wbowers313]

I marched on a hella good college line, 2 years with a WGI corps, and I have tried to keep my chops over the years since I've been out. I thought I was pretty good but nothing great; this just humbled me so hard. Crazy good stuff

[@floatdude]

Super job great playing, super timing and super clean.

[@sp4c3d0ut8]

Man you've been a great inspiration for me! Keep up this amazing work!

[@bledsoee_]

Beautiful job, Zach!!

[@Wolverine699]

Damn dude!!! Go BLOOOOOO!!! Can't wait to see ya!!!

[@sligdrums]

Yo Zach, I put this on before bed and started to knod off listening too it and had to wake up to post this. 💯👏🏾👏🏾

[@ImKasko]

Camera quality compliments the sound quality. This is awesome.

[@yorkie74]

That was perfection...hope you make it bruh. Love from the UK.

[@dompetty7594]

The crescendo section at the end of the triplet section was very impressive!!

[@emperize7685]

your tap quality is so nice, well everything is great lol, but the consistency of your tap really stood out to me as that is what im working on right now on my high school drumline. Great job!

[@RogerCarterDrums]

Congrats! You're in.

[@richardclark4733]

Really just a very nice job, Zach.

[@chasemanhart]

Going to go down as one of the cleanest video auditions ever recorded, great job!

[@RufMixa247]

That first bar of 8 in the crazy 8's exercise was easily best I've ever heard it played xD

[@catcat1517]

Clean machine on this body of work. Well done Sir.

[@ianmurphy4435]

This has been super helpful helps to have something to play along to

[@moo3992]

Dude thanx for posting this.

[@partychicken1229]

[@BrokeLevy]

I literally can feel every accent... holy crap man!

[@malditobandito98]

This is a true example of “practice makes perfect.”

[@TheCjamez]

This is cool stuff dude!

[@prodigydrummer]

Here comes the face mask tans this summer

[@CincoSnare76]

Man if that's what it takes to get DCI back, I'm cool with it.

[@SunnyHF-nf4bc]

Double D is my absolute favorite section.

[@powerbolt7778]

[@andrewfilmsdrums]

Underrated comment

[@lokineverfolds]

[@andredobbs5390]

[@melvinsalvador8035]

Omg I have this save exact sweater but without the blue coats heat transfer. Very comfortable plus it’s got thumb holes. Awesome audition pieces tho I wonder what it’s like to be this good.

[@dannyulloa3111]

This man is a National Treasure

[@Mark-yw3no]

You are awesome!!

[@jonathanepperson6077]

This is wild

[@SkinnyGeorge]

People don’t understand how difficult the Queso exercise is. It’s a short one, but is a beast! Incredible playing man. Enjoy the tour!

[@lmaoitsmee1812]

ikr. playing it right and with the right heights, is a LOT harder than expected.

[@wendelladams6609]

You are definitely ready.

[@dontneedme25]

Hope you make it man, unless you’re already I then congratulations! I’m no drummer but you sound amazing.

[@shocka89]

I enjoyed this. Bluecoats 09,10

[@ronisize15]

Heck yeah man nice

[@masonburris8998]

Zach you should start a snare asmr channel with that sound quality 😳

[@marcushawkinsmusic]

yes!!

[@PresyceBaez]

Here I am at 4:36 in the morning just checking my phone really quickly and well... this seems about right.

[@suryakaniyur]

you’re pretty good dude

[@coltonmykael]

That looks like a lovely spot to play.

[@zachwilson3397]

Exactly why I chose it. Awesome outside acoustics!

[@brown55061]

If only Zach as even HALF as good as me...... at tearing up some T-Bell. lol Great hands dude, you guys will be stout this summer.

[@loganjohnson8010]

[@dianaclaros8031]

It would be so awesome of he kept putting out audition videos every year for people to reference. Even if he is ageing out.

[@zachwilson3397]

Not a bad idea...👀

[@trisectionalfool6143]

Solid.

[@lez_smkkgatle8083]

Impressive, im intrigued by this, its a pity im in South Africa, i would have loved to learn the audition package just to get the hands going

[@MaddieGraffeo]

Those moeller modulations required a whole different facial expression. good luck man!

[@nbctheoffice]
