Jeff Queen Clinic DCI 2010

[@rpshanks]

This isn't the best snare solo in the world.... this is just a tribute.

[@ggndrums]

After 16 years of playing this same solo, it STILL never gets old. =) Love Jeff Queen, man.

[@StoicLoneWolf380]

I swear, Queen's chops are just...speechless.

[@SebastianMocny]

*Ding* - Oh, popcorn is ready

[@TheBeatles9091]

Reasons why Kevlar: playing on Mylar sounds like a kickball being bounced off of a brick wall

[@brianhead1907]

Cole Edelstein Bro...you must not play on mylar...thats a crappy sounding mylar...infact the snare mechanism is not working properly.

[@shawnselwa1136]

@@brianhead1907 I'm fairly sure some of the solo is with the snares off. I have the book by him and it has to solo in it. I could be wrong, but I remember it somewhat.

[@randyduncan4004]

but kevlar sounds like hes playing on a table top or the floor. i dont care for either sound but solo was TERRIFIC!! BRING BACK the Field Snare!!

[@elilovestrainsplanesmore1101]

Im pretty sure pipe snares use kevlar, not marching snares.

[@gavin_bigred]

Its cause he has a Kevlar bottom head. Mylar always sounds best imo with both heads being mylar and not a mixture.

[@mrchris33195]

there is nothing wrong with its acoustics...I've gone to DCI semifinals for the past two years, and the sound is just fine. I think the echo is from the fact that stadium is nearly empty, and the camera.

[@irwinwins5307]

Jeff Queen has always been a beast! Just recently he gained some weight. Freaking amazing as usual!

[@shank0022]

IV'E BEEN ON THAT FIELD!!!

[@_MrGiggles]

He was a judge at Mozingo this year. I was able to talk to him, of course not knowing that THIS BOSS was him

[@kahok5ownage]

Heehee, I love the excerpts from blast in there.

[@r3dfiv3]

@shadofreally Yep. If you look up "Blast Battery", he's the second snare drummer, with the carrying rack.

[@programmedwrong3795]

Anyone remember the episode of FRIENDS where Ross played the keyboard? He did a sort of head movement when he did accented notes. Jeff does that same thing when he slowly moves from Drum to drum. His way of over emphasizing i guess. Ha! 😁

[@danlc95]

Time to practice.....

[@Yagirlnyesha]

danlc95 he know he's the shit lmao , but i don't blame him

[@notkrillin]

He said somewhere in the beginning that they each had different heads on them.

[@Magucci13]

it makes everything louder!!!

[@americanspirit8932]

Please read the comments

[@5drum5]

Good drumming, amazing how one can perfect something when that's all one plays for 10 plus years!

[@americanspirit8932]

John Dowling, was it good friend of mine . He is the person who developed back sticking and use for the first time around 1960 with the Air Force drum quartet. May he rest in peace he was very few, Road events throughout their routine. They're all about, arms, flaring in the air, speed, it's more about visual than actual real drumming with real rudiments. The art of rudimental drummer no longer exists in my opinion. Look at some of the old Fife and Drum c o r p s, that are still in existence today, you will see many rudiments used, with great execution . The judges today do not look for, exposure to error or difficulty. They focus on the visuals John Dowling would be rolling over in his grave can you use the only person in the United States ever to receive, 4 national championships in the single day. First place, individual solo soprano, first place, brass quartet, first place individual, snare drum, first place, drum quartet he is in the Drum Corps Hall of Fame, toward many of the top drum and bugle c o r p s . He made an album and a book, Fleetwood recordings, where he broke down rudiments, included drum solos, it was a educational recording. He also arranged music for horn lines including the reading Connor Buccaneers from Reading Pennsylvania . Drummond instructor for the Riley Raiders , as well as many other drum and bugle course, it was a great man and a great drummer❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@BailOutVids]

He was quoting Tenacious D

[@BailOutVids]

The one on his left has a mylar head and the one on the right has a Kevlar head. Not different tuning. Just different sounds

[@tottenhamteacher]

Daken Blioux do we know what bottom head he’s using? Shoot even the top head.

[@eboone]

The Kevlar head is definitely tuned a half step higher

[@edgardavis7102]

Yes 301

[@jpf2016]

We're playing Bolero in band right now!

[@TheGoretex13]

Oh Jeff Mom from Denver is remembering how you guys took over our basement blue knights 1994

[@initGDub]

Yeah, two summers now!

[@avenged7xguitar]

the snare on the left is tuned a half step higher than the other one

[@musicdev]

You ever think Jeff gets tired of playing this solo?

[@Razorman-co6rx]

dang

[@sovereignviper]

4:18 Am I the only one who thinks this looks kinda funny?

[@RafikMankariosDrumStudio]

Superior!

[@jeromieb038]

[@zachellis6963]

chuck norris couldn`t do this to save his life!

[@sumbooodeeee]

Yeah he really is @zRiddick

[@initGDub]

It sounds just fine, I agree! But the echo is a product of the awful acoustics... I've been on the field, so I have experience too

[@shadofreally]

was he in blast at some point?

[@alexfulkerson2499]

Jeff queen comes to my school every year cause he is friends with our instructor Brandon Baker aka announcer at wgi last year

[@mrchris33195]

I think he meant #2 out Portraits in Rhythm by Anthony Cirone. Not #3

[@CincoSnare76]

That echo...

[@jamesrubich3103]

but he can back it up

[@michaelhanrahan5349]

Not bad!

[@brianhead1907]

Who's in the stands? Drugged up, Travis Barker fans or what?

[@initGDub]

@tjw889 Hahaha so so true!

[@tmargosian]

I love the thought of the two drums, and one being a more traditional with the Mylar head.... but holy shit that Mylar head makes the drum sound like garbage. At least in my 35 year old opinion. I started on Remo drums with Mylar heads in middle school and was so hyped when I got to high school and played on Yamaha sfz’s with Kevlar heads. I just think Mylar sounds tubby and metallic both at the same time. I’ll be a high tension guy forever.

[@tjw889]

@TheGWalka Walking in... you go "oh yay air conditioning!" Then you play some cold attacks in your show.................

[@webb428]

Dat tongue.

[@mbmaccin555555]

Ya it is. Lol.

[@Alex-vy2xd]

Mylar is sooooooo much better!

[@initGDub]

God, I love how you can hear how acoustically horrible Lucas Oil Stadium really is! Nice stadium and all, just the acoustics are god awful.

[@andyotic]

CAHHHahahahahH

[@johnniejames9799]

There's no way this guy is a human being! I need to see a birth certificate and his Earth Certification. SMH

[@Jaysen6740]

I like Jeff Queen and use some of his teaching methods. But dude needs to learn a new snare solo and stop reliving the glory days.

[@fos1996]

Preforming there is very disorienting.

[@OjiveDturkeiU]

So much dirt

[@MikhailFederov]

4:29 That was pathetic. He probably thought he looked so cool

[@bobbydigital8111]

Dude relax.... Not everyone can be such a professional skin flute player like yourself.

[@MikhailFederov]

What an incredibly uncharismatic man.

[@safersephiroth943]

you clearly have never met him.

[@zRhid]

He's so cocky it annoys me

[@JohnJohn-ir5hw]

He was/is paid to be. Lucky him, I guess. Blue Knights have always been bullies.

[@TheGoretex13]

Blue Knights bullies!!!! No just snobs. Jeff and the 1994 snare line lived in our house. Jeff was just sure of himself and not very humble.

[@TheGoretex13]

Jeff has always been cocky.

[@zRhid]

@@TheGoretex13 still annoys me to this day lmao
