Drew Guy I+E Solo 2010

Recorded on July 24, 2010 using a Flip Video camcorder.

[@Rapannell36]

Still one of my favorite solos ever, I just wish there was a better quality video somewhere! :(

[@coats11mom]

Laughing to myself as I realize I've always told Drew to put up or shut up.....That's why he never talks!! I love you son!! You make me proud everyday!

[@xBlazinMYST]

"Play through the drum," said the instructor...

[@dragondrummer21]

How did Drew not win first place, not only was his playing and chops amazing but he freaking stabbed his snare head at the end.. thats about as epic as a solo gets.

[@NatsirtMats0]

He deserved a higher placement. The stuff he plays is incredible. Also his dynamics are pretty sick.

[@HotPotatoFever]

The true 2010 snare I&E champion, folks.

[@cymballineboy5]

Would of been really awkward if he didn't break it .

[@jadenmccallum17]

Now play it off the left.

[@GuyMannDudeTheOnly]

I love this guy !! Amazing ! I took one lesson from Scott Johnson and studied with Ron Ziebart for about six months..I love where this guy has taken it !!

[@stixx1492]

I love Drew's expression after the stick goes through. "well... shit. I did it. thats kinda sweet" That's and ending you can't rehearse

[@esxj11]

I've never been so impressed by a snare solo in my life! 2:22 made my jaw drop and so did the ending. But why did he get 11th place, i didnt see anything wrong in his solo? He deserves 1st! Mad props to you Drew. Hopefully i could march with you before your age-out.

[@Floutist995]

I would like this video a thousand times more. period.

[@balloondagger0]

Not lying, this is the guy who taught me how to play drums, That was seven years ago and I still can’t play like this

[@Theduffman4333]

Sounds like a great teacher!

[@Diachi26]

My brain just stopped funcioning, and my heart just freakin skipped a beat. I was speachless the whole video. THIS DUDE IS A LEGEND!!! Ladies and gentlemen the new casey brohard.

[@MBlood08]

I loved the MCM 2010 opener at the end. Awesome show.

[@abayard11]

This dude is awesome. Don't know how 23 people thumbs downed this..

[@hskellison]

every time I watch this video I see something new...amazing player

[@indiman5000]

without a doubt the best solo at i&e this year.

[@netipothead]

Wicked wicked solo... holy hell. And what an ending! Very passionate.

[@LonePianist3]

he used to be the center snare for the bluecoats' drumline and fans always cheer "BLOO!" for them

[@jonz7698]

? They always chant bloo

[@KyleBrooks]

No, I believe they're "blooing." He was from the Bluecoats I heard, and fans of the Bluecoats "bloo" to show appreciation and so on instead of just clapping.

[@billybear12345]

that part when he plays with 3 stick is unbelieveble!!! WOW

[@IndoorPanda]

the last 30 seconds of his solo was the MCM opener from last year sped up. rad.

[@A_Flash1992]

Guys I think flammaster might be right...I mean, Blue Devils soloists ALWAYS have a classy introduction, & bow after they finish. The fact that drew portrayed an extremely laid back product may have effected they way they scored him...Not that it matters to me at all, because it absolutely doesn't, but I wouldn't doubt it if the judges were turned off to "sup" as opposed to "good afternoon". These days, people take manners too seriously & are way too easily offended with even the slightest thing

[@Sasori18000]

this guy is a beast, hes one of the teachers in our marching band

[@stixx1492]

@wvhsdrumline53 no. he didn't score it. He was at rehearsal that day before leaving, and it sounded/looked fine. Its impressive that he did it, because you can't practice an ending like that.

[@SCVDOINDISHES]

the most innovative thing ive seen in a long time as far as tricks and ability. badass. -love your pulse friends :)

[@coats11mom]

There was no penalty and there was no scoring of the drumhead to make it easier to bust it. I saw the drumhead personally and now have it in my suitcase. If there was a penalty three snares on Sunday wld hv gotten them as well. Thanks for the support of Drew and Bluecoats this year. We have had an amazing summer!! Go Blooo!

[@coats11mom]

@mavericksnare42. Sorry there is no sheet music. @numbernile BC battery always does left sleeve hike for HYPE!! Thanks everyone for supporting MY HERO! I love you Drew!! Bring it Blooo!!

[@xxxEMINENTxxx]

I COULD NEVER HERTA SNARE LIKE THAT (pun intended) :)

[@lsuman93]

He definitely made that up on the spot

[@RickDawg527]

soooo....i havent seen any of the other I&E's from this year on youtube yet, but, um....this is awesome and i really dont understand how this guy placed so freakin low!

[@KelbyMcIntyreDrums3]

He killed it!....literally

[@mikey16piet]

I don't see how he was cocky at all. He looked like he was just having fun while playing it. He's from bluecoats and they always have fun while playing. It's inspiring to me.

[@Jerahmeel]

The judges took an airplane before they got to where i&e was held and they all managed to sleep in the first class. They woke up from a dream in a dream in a dream in a dream telling them that Drew Guy deserves 11th place, and one of the judges is a Japanese guy.

[@LucasSpurrell]

I'm pretty sure the Kevlar they use for body armor is a little thicker than a drum head. Just a little.

[@ZachTheMan68]

I love you.......

[@sumbooodeeee]

@joshuaccz actually the corps gave him permission to, since they were changing heads the next day or something. Disrespecting the corps?! Drew guy has stayed with them for six years in spite of other corps offering to pay his tour fee. No

[@Xelanoux]

He got 11th because the judge wrote 1 twice for good measure

[@new9000]

Adding to favorites.........

[@dirtysoufboys]

teachers hated him..he was that one kid always beating on the desk lol..this is pretty sicc.

[@londonrowland13]

simply amazing.

[@dragonnn777]

My life is complete.

[@Motowndrummer]

wow, absolutely spectacular...

[@PayneKrunk]

i love the bluecoats and i love this solo BLOOOOOO!!!

[@Pattywack18]

when he stabbed that head at the end i couldn't stop laughing and watched it over and over again

[@Beaver731]

ME TOO LOL MISS U PAT ITS BEEN TOO LONG

[@coats11mom]

@snareplaya15 Drew was NOT disqualified for drumhead stab, nor did he receive a penalty for time. Thanks

[@gzr6dude]

i like the mystique book in it

[@coats11mom]

@snareplaya15 Drew WAS NOT disqualified for drumhead stab, nor did he receive a penalty for anything else. Thanks.

[@saidincontent]

I like how after he stabbed the drum, he's like, "Should I pull the stick out?" Then he's like, "Fuck it."

[@Euph70]

I attempted to write this on sheet music for everyone. It ended up looking like this: FRICKING BADASS.

[@ssserani]

those VISUALS >_>

[@ImEverythingYouCrave]

@Blogdude87tx He's wearing part of a uniform, It's the part that sort of goes underneath the top part of a full uniform.

[@TheSnareguitar]

I wish the recording was so boomy. Great solo.

[@coats11mom]

This was the actual I and E solo.Drew was the only drummer in front of this judge on Saturday. Dci didn't even give him the courtesy of posting his score with the other scores on Sunday. FYI....he has not been disqualified..new rumor today. That wld hv been a stab in the back along with that slap of the face score!!

[@nickr753]

Soo... this is what it sounds like to compress an entire show into four minutes?

[@yodamello]

ps i love that the name of his solo would have to come with sheet music if the full title were ever really written down

[@notonlydru]

i heard the part from god bless america in there.... very nice job btw..... u killed it, and the drum too...........

[@hskellison]

@Diachi26 amen. Drew Guy is a freakin beast

[@reefedbeats]

@melvinThEDrkLord1 kevlar snare heads are like 1 layer of kevlar weave, a bullet proof vest is made of about 100 of those layers all interwoven haha, its not the same thing, its still hard to do, but not that hard.

[@FOSSIL13drums]

@treythedrummer1 wel another big part i how well they are tensioned. If You just crank the drum head as tight as it'll go right when you put it on it'll snap pretty quickly. You have to give drumheads the chance to stretch out before you krank them to the desired tension.

[@xthatchinox]

Woooooo. Do it up Mr. Guy!

[@zace98]

god fucking damnit, this is the coolest fucking solo i've ever seen.

[@be9nz]

he's....remarkable.

[@Medusanlord]

For all people who don't believe, it's possible to break a drumhead like he did. Have u ever tried to break glass with just pushing the weakest point with the most pressure on it? I think here is it nearly the same and he is just using brute force :) Btt: SICK =_=!

[@coats11mom]

@notar3alaccount. The only cameras are those of spectators-which were very few on the first day. This happens to be mine and my first time on the Flip. I was nervous for my son! Sorry!

[@juliothedrummer]

@JoeyxReetz they have to transcribe it for the judges so they dont improve for like 4 minutes, so its already been done

[@drumboy1313]

@percussiontech1 They're the judges who gave him 11th place.

[@danny101pm]

very artistic title.

[@jman3ification]

yung mans' purty profiecent on teh damn snurr drum>>>purhdilladilla GOCK!

[@justabackup]

I bet the judges hated this guy!!!!

[@doofdum]

That's the best.

[@sickeningsplat]

HOLY MOTHER MARY HAVE MERCY!

[@coats11mom]

@drumboy1313. I don't think so. There was only one judge. Drew was the ONLY battery percussionist that day.

[@RanchoBass5222]

@Jerahmeel Drew was the ONLY guy to go on saturday. The judge had absolutely nothing to compare him to

[@TheDragonmaster18]

@bballerken167 oh ok. know wonder ive seen alot showstyle lines use them. since most of them use strpas there's no need for them to drill anything into the drum. but if you want to hear a good sounding dynasty drum look up norfolk state university drumline. they use dynasty drums and they sound pretty good

[@olledowerdna]

BEAST!!!

[@srch4trth]

@advancewarsaddict i think you're right. he plays the same lick 2:12-2:22 & 2:34-2:45 which is from their show this year. and I cant remember where i've heard the lick at 3:33-3:37 from.

[@GareItOak]

That was a make it or break it move...and he did both.

[@owenjarchow]

@08Pearldrummer actually with as tight as you crank a marching snare, it's not as hard as you would think.

[@notar3alacc0unt]

i really wish they would do these outside, or with better cameras. it could sound so much better...

[@NoahAngott]

Stabs drum. Keeps on playin'.

[@MeatXLoverX69X]

I really dont think many people understand how crazy head popping is. I know of -5 who can do it on spot and Drew added himself on that list in 2010 hahaha

[@MoustacheCloud]

sound quality=Dynasty

[@RickDawg527]

has anyone else seen any OTHER videos from this year? Im really curious as to how Andrew Odello's solo sounded.....

[@Jerahmeel]

@crazyuki13 I was reading around and found out that I&E this year was a two day event and not that many people went the first day, including Drew Guy. The first people who go are usually judged the hardest because there is no one to compare to. Maybe the judge was high off a joint or something.

[@friendstorebandtn]

I KNOW. He's my freaking drum tech.

[@masterdrummer19]

@melvinThEDrkLord1 that kevlar is a little thicker.. like only about 20 times thicker.. nothein big.. but still amazing

[@kelsbannon]

i just hear a wall of awesome

[@yodamello]

i wish i could hear that rim stuff live. the camera doesnt really capture it well but it seems pretty sick

[@zRhid]

He totally went off the wall with this lmao

[@coats11mom]

@madjical. AMEN! I like your style! :)

[@hardyman691]

holy shit thats hatd as hell to put a stick through a kevlar wow

[@tim.noonan]

anyone else recognize the end of MCM's opener at the end of the solo?

[@neoclassicaljazz]

I don't know why anyone is talkin trash unless they've got an I&E solo up. But I'm positive that anyone that does wouldn't talk trash cause they know whats up. Anyone talkin trash should just try out for bluecoats and see if you make center snare haha

[@coats11mom]

@someguydrumming there were other performers that broke drum heads as well. They were no penalties for the break. Drew recvd no penalties. :)

[@Drockthehouse95]

chops like MAAAAAAD

[@huskydline09]

@Jerahmeel some corps do not allow their members to do I&E to focus on the show

[@CatsAndMusic0324]

Remo, Evans, and any other Corps, winterline, or any marching percussion anything don't use kevlar. It's an Aramid Fiber drumhead.

[@DDRsensation]

@owenjarchow Still impressive. It's a demanding amount of force, especially after the chop-burner of a solo that he played for minutes on end.
