Juan "Carlito" Mendoza clinic solo

Juan killin' a solo at his Guitar Center clinic

[@lentzintl]

Why is this guy not more popular. Every time I see him play he is so smooth with tons of groove and makes extremely complicated stuff look easy. He never play's a bunch of fast notes for the sake of showing how many things he can hit in a short period of time but always in context of the groove and rhythm theme.

[@sotoyogi]

He's actually a pretty popular drummer

SICK! This dude is like the professor of drum interdependence. A true drummer's drummer.

[@drumrboi72]

He plays like WATER!🥁👍TRULY 1 of the top 10 drummers I've seen in the last 10 years!

[@janetremsing6988]

The dude's a total BEAST! 👍 😊😎

[@Michael-xw4er]

Fantastic player! Those Afro Cuban and Brazilian rhythms that he teaches are the the key to great independence as well as sounded so darn funky!

[@K0h4ku42]

The kind of thing to make you laugh aloud. Sick, man. Just fantastic.

[@pixelbitfilms6611]

This guy has been one of my biggest drummer inspirations since Jon Bonham. I've been watching his technique and inspired to practise harder. Thank you Juan 👍

[@chilluminare]

[@marcopolo4468]

[@allan1064]

[@neil007777777]

[@mhcdrum]

[@toddjrod4262]

Hey Juan is your snare batter head real thought is how you are super on it

[@skywarrior3508]

REALY GRATE DRUMMER

[@SuperHelldrummer]

INTERESTING¡¡¡

[@timsabepieczynski7051]

That was nice..

[@christianbryce]

the woman in the front is so amazed by Carlos lolollolololo. great performance

[@figg51]

Dope!

[@5iveThumbsUp]

what the heck is that thing that moves on the bass drum head when he plays the bass pedal

[@marcusbrown1767]

He put it down..

[@gradylester7148]

What's he doing at the end?

[@andys3035]

I think this guy is better than Matt Garstka. He obviously plays different styles but he may have a slight edge over Matt.

[@angelogrijalva1621]

i think they are both equally amazing

[@servaasreussien2840]

The reason why I put my drumset on eBay . . . . ; o(

[@artamis6167]

Hey Juan great performance! What was that lick at 3:21?

[@vaughanxaviermusic]

Blushda I think

[@CampbellYoungblood]

she looks like she is about to get up and play back everything Carlito played, then proceed to show him up

[@TsunamiDreamJesusIsLord]

Jesus bless

[@rtanidean4931]

Umm yeah. He can play. Wow

[@Jordarr8994]

What is with this independence goddamn

[@tharrock337]

+Jordan Johnson His hands are like members of a free jazz group, where both see, to know what each other does but don't really care, yet somehow it comes together.

[@Jordarr8994]

tharrock337 2 years later and it's still awesome and he has been a huge inspiration for my practice with limb independence as well

[@JulianFernandez]

Fluence!

[@drumphat]

Killer stuff! Just wish you woulda cropped that lady out of the frame. She's a lil distracting.

[@gsxerwhite]

Bastard. Making me wanna hit the practice pad

[@jjbenz9633]

How many arms and legs does he have? for moments It sounds like two or three folks could be playing but hes the only one ...yikessss

[@drni7775]

The technique is amazing, but it's not Cuban groove.

[@panduwib470]

I dont he wont belong to any band
