Jonathan Leal Snare I&E 2011 2nd Place HD [**1080p**]

[@EssGabriel]

3:43 "WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[@TylerAFE]

This mans rudimentary playing is on point. He has spent hours that no one except other drummers on the planet, can understand. When I say hours, those hours turn out to be years in the grand scheme of things. I hope he still plays every day. Showmanship is also awesome.

[@gagemartin4681]

Last year in December, I went to the Vanguard audition camp in San Jose California, and none other than this man himself was the one who was auditioning the snares. He’s still got these amazing chops to this day. Pretty crazy.

[@speedy_magee]

drum sounds great. expert expression in skill, chops, sound quality, creativity, musicality. beautiful low end, well executed stick tricks. the whole package.

[@dylanpipkins]

I searched for this video just now. I love it!

[@DMB4life90]

This guy totally should have won I&E that year he reminds me of a Casey Brohard of the blue devils from a years back! Real musicianship and great flow and strength in his chops! Smooth bro....pure smooth!

[@OBrienMagic]

I saw some Ivan Pacheco in there too! “Same lick… with the back of the knee…” lol

[@TysonMerzy]

keelan’s 1st place was deserved, respectfully

[@lttlpenguin]

Holy crap all these guys are so amazing, I can't even tell how they were judged to begin with...

[@prodigydrummer]

0:59-1:08 is some funky writing

[@B.Davis1]

Should’ve gotten first place FOR SURE

[@asdf072xxp]

wtf @2:43? Amazing

[@sebastianalvarez7360]

I used to be a snare ..... But then I took a snare to the knee . Now i'm a tenor .

[@TexSnare0702]

I remember my brother coming back from a football game saying "fuck, edcouch and some really good snare that kicked our ass is the drum battle." It was this guy lol

[@tr0mpwned]

@MusicLives209 actually he was doing 3's really fast thats why his rolls sounded so closed

[@SMHMewzik]

Man I miss this guy! I rode the bus with him on tour...man was he funny!!

[@LJLiveLV]

This was my favorite snare solo from this year.

[@Ch1k3n112233]

If I had to choose between this one and keelan's solo, I would just give them both the medal XD

[@poopmcdoopdoop]

I still think keelan's solo was like by far the best.

[@TheSlayerXnight]

For some reason, his opening beat got stuck in my head

[@gregguthrie5612]

I kept thinking his shirt said Lasagna

[@jackjones4152]

Greg Guthrie lol

[@popeyesailor9571]

Love that one stick thing he did.

[@Airwave42]

@Teder95 1st Keelan Tobia(BD) 2nd John Leal(SCV) 3rd Drew Guy(Bloo) 4th no clue 5th Dan Sailor(SCV) SCV had tenor champ, not snare.

[@BirchPercussion]

@xsteezysnare95x actually, that isn't a cavies snare. Cavies snares are Yamaha, that is a pearl. Plus, the Cavies snares were bright green to dark green fade, this is a black to green fade. The lugs on this are also different to those of the lugs on a yamaha snare drum.

[@5drum5]

Out played Kelan and took second? Sound quality, so much better than Kelan's.

[@jeromieb038]

Great sound of pearl!

[@RedWingzProductions]

i saw he play i forgot were but i saw him play and it was pretty awesome :) and i think he even played this for us

[@rayl9]

that snare tuning. is so good.

[@CliffHuxtableSweater]

This that 36 yr old that be in Whole foods in birkenstocks and the baby back packs that you wear in the front, looking for the veggie chips.

[@eboone]

One of the most amazing comments I’ve seen

[@yamsang0__0]

his matched grip on his right is a bit interesting... idk though, he plays amazing so I guess its fine lol, but there is quite a bit of pinky drop

[@Payvandsalari]

he seriously has the best left hand i've ever seen!

[@EpicMind500]

I know right I was watching for slicing but they were rarely there, even really good players can be seen slicing from a camera angle like that DAMN!

[@ihaveasmallpp8453]

This guy is awesome 😄😊

[@1freeplay]

he was my private lesson teacher!

[@AirsoftWorld10]

@DMB4life90 have you even seen keelan tobia

[@bigdude627]

finally I & E realized that outdoor marching instruments sound better... outside?

[@chaser22081]

Holy showmanship!!!

[@cosmodrum1]

@bigdude627 true story, snare solos were outside in 2000.

[@ShaquanTalbert]

the face you make when its groovy aka stank face

[@anthonytaylor150]

shaquan talbert qq

[@taniecegordon2244]

he is good

[@iOpacity]

I think he shoulda won. man. No mistakes and just a lot of inventive, choppy stuff thrown in.

[@GabeT04]

Ew no. All he did was doubles and stick tricks. Keelan was way more challenging and well written. I dont like this guy at all

[@americanspirit8932]

Is he a juggler?

[@gr1mreaper]

So that's the guy that destroyed my whack a mole

[@Briang33fromEE]

Doesn't look like he's having fun but in his mind he's like f*** yeah :)

[@MikeGomeztheDMG]

Bro 😧. That's my cousin!!!! (Jumps around like a maniac 😝)

[@brianrandall2998]

Where can you get, if you can get, the sheet music for this?"

[@ShaquanTalbert]

You can this is usually just made up. I doubt they even write them they just remember it.

[@NiklasSD]

@7032jd offworld endorser?

[@Vegansk824]

tell me about it

[@jey12345]

Does SCV use PR-2's or regular Rennicks?

[@TheNtizda]

wasnt this the guy that was in "eat more meat" from UNT?

[@rebelgamer94]

he brought it, but damn, he soo techinical. I wish there was a tie

[@Mattacus94]

The drag 32nd flammadiddlemaraddicue in measure 785 was a little off.

[@lij2015]

@gothdrummer7 I wouldn't say just because he's taught by paul rennick Keelan's solo was a lot better. Also Leal IS a rennick follower. Phantom 2010, SCV 2011. Nuff said

[@tiyenin]

I could watch 2:39 alllllll day

[@CCButtra]

Apparently it will take them a little longer to realize that ALL marching percussion sounds better outside. Tenors, multi, etc. were still inside that year and that makes next to no sense. Actually, the polls just came through: it makes no sense at all.

[@snaredude10]

@Octopi623 i know right! lol. i thought i was the only one who thought that!

[@turner102792]

UNT??

[@WillPolk94]

Bustin chops! Good job man!

[@CleanIsClean]

He does

[@poopmcdoopdoop]

you should judge next years I&E, i'm sure they'd appreciate somebody with such judging capability...

[@xsteezysnare95x]

I represent SCV. but I love cavies so much I'll use their snare. hahaha.

[@ImEverythingYouCrave]

Hey, is it true you are wanting to make up a lick or solo with some guy by the name of Jake? I've heard rumors that you saw a certain winter drum show he was in and pointed him out and said you would like to, is this true? Also, I know your cousin.

[@ELDLtenors]

you may say he played with "better sound quality" (your opinion) but keelan played much harder stuff

[@imaobong331]

yeah that was sick dj'ing

[@teeg-irl]

4th place was Tim Perry

[@milesmetkodrums27]

I think the only reason he didn't win is just because Keelan had better showmanship. Keelan's solo was great but I think Leal's was better and he didn't make any noticeable mistakes. He just didn't get into it to the level that Keelan did.

[@avenged7xguitar]

I need to practice.

[@moss61]

2:40 WHAT IS THIS DEVIL MAGIC?!?!?!

[@cwsmith73]

Alien Hip Hop... is that like Martian Mambo?

[@zRhid]

the people in the back sounded a little exited

[@RickCogley]

Fighter pilot! Yeah!

[@grantdickerson96]

WOO WOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOO WO WOOOOO WOOOOO WO WO WO WO WOOOOOOO

[@robertapeixoto2357]

caralo que profissional

[@plstiv55]

Why did he not win? The winner was not even close to this execution

[@cops156]

Hardest solo I have ever had to learn

[@jasongarcia6225]

I just found out this guy is my cousin wtf I’m freaking out rn

[@B.Davis1]

Is he teaching a drumline currently? Or doing anything with drumming?

[@Aggelion]

@allou82 True true, I figure guy had way more flow and feel.

[@jsk8drummer]

@7032jd and his chops support that statement

[@prim7112]

Expect nothing less from an SCV snare drummer

[@strivehumbly]

yea that deserves 1st

[@werephantomsin15]

@bigdude627 Dude. I wish we had been inside. It was 10000 degrees...

[@SanreZai]

2:00 he must be practicing that technique since he was born

[@spinachdipminiatures]

Hes, well how to put this...quite goodXD

[@kikeenriquez4436]

Is it me or is he crushing his doubles?

[@TopDrumCorps]

Is it just me or are you stupid

[@phobass]

@lildrummerboy2014 you should probably give him lessons.

[@pasta_heals]

That's what half the people in band class would think...

[@alecdziuk6450]

I personally thought Drew Guy should have got 2nd. He's solo to me is better than Leal's. Buuuuuut then again I guess there's a reason I'm not a judge huh? haha!

[@tstew258]

I really like Drew Guy's stuff but sometimes he gets a little too stick-tricky for me, Leals, was more technical but still grooved, thats probably why he took 2nd.

[@alecdziuk6450]

That is good point. Leal's personally though seemed to busy. Amazing none the less, haha, I sure as hell cant do some of that!

[@LA41792]

That was fucking intense.

[@BSBINC1]

@milesmetkodrums27 thats true he didnt get into it like keelan did

[@davidpetry]

Should have been 1st place. It was more musical in my opinion.

[@MXBoy360]

haha! his face 0:41

[@isaacannon]

no u

[@ComproDesigns]

gravity burst on a marching snare :O

[@jaydalar32]

2:00 i died

[@robertapeixoto2357]

caralo que prof

[@IamAlex13]

3:03 "Oh my god" haha

[@bassmaster2011]

those are my pants!!!!

[@oscargarcia-jc6hu]

And he came from Edcouch-Elsa

[@Xavierlopez111]

Thats where i live

[@deonteCsewell1445]

his solo is good but it seem like he stayed in his comfort zone. His solo seemed very rehearsed (even though i suppose it should...it feel too structured) where as Keelan solo seemed more freestyle and challenging.

[@lildavo7308]

Not bad lil man

[@dwowj]

This both made me angry and laugh at the same time.

[@tr0mpwned]

@guitarxgodx100 a little late bro

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

@Camerrz Nahh thats called a "Stank Face"

[@RickCogley]

Damn!!

[@percussionninjasrock]

agreed!

[@moonstone667]

woo woo woo wooooooooooo woo woo woooooooooooooooooooooo,
