Luis Burgos Jr - Guitar Center's Drum-Off '11 Finalist

[@doodechannel4024]

Pure, groovy, and tasteful. Probably one of my favorite solos of any of the years.

[@MikeHatchellComedy]

i don't know if this was the best solo, but this is definitely my favorite one to repetitively listen do. smooth guy.

[@mjm5081]

Man that kit sounds AMAZING!...And great playing too! ❤

[@BumbaRasclot]

Man this dude killed it. Such a simple drum kit and he got so much out of it. Easily one of the best I've seen in these competitions

[@dcassisa42]

no tricks.. no gimics. Just straight GROOVE.. and to me thats what being a drummer is all about.. feeling the music

[@rodrigoaraujo7323]

For me, he was the champion

[@shueonballard2324]

Been watching a number of these lately and finally someone I can stomach. Ability along with feeling and groove minus all the worthless stick tricks and flash. And NO electronics! A true drummer.😁

[@zooby11isbambam]

probably the best sounding snare i've ever heard.... no strike that... this is the best sounding snare i've ever heard.

[@M4Moose]

Screw all you haters, This is style... and a drum solo, no one would expect him to play 4 to the floor for 5 mins. All i can say is that this is Tasty!!

[@theaceofspadesjl]

he was definitely my favorite out of all of them

[@TenchiQuis]

I like that beat at the beginning, solid

[@sibie1080]

AH! das my baby brother =) so proud of u pa ur da friggin man! stay tru 2 urself n do u on dat kit. We're entering a new age where ppl r just starting 2 learn what real music is again... A tru drummer isn't 5000 hat tricks n symbol flips, its getting technique down n remaining humble... n its wut dis fam does best n I love u morenito DO U!!!

[@BUBBAROC1]

Great drumming nice and tight.Kit has a great sound.I wonder what heads are on that kit.Tama ships with Evans.

[@edwardjohnson5331]

Wow ,no octo pads ,doesn't do flips with his sticks , doesn't stand on his stool , a real. Professional percussionist.. about time .finaly a winner who deserves to win!

[@braenlymelo8316]

Still watching amazing performance in 2021

[@drummerboy231434]

The thing about this solo is its entertaining in the sense that non-drummers and not just drummers would get a kick out of listening to it.

[@roycisneros97]

If they took the octopad away this year and if he was a finalist this year, he could and should win! Pure groove and music

[@HalfGermanBeats93]

Haters gonna hate. This guy has style, showmanship and groove.

[@lindajesse8250]

An attack of rhythm. All hands on skins. Energy at play. Beauteous.😊

[@MitchReitmanOnDrums]

My favorite beat to play. Hands down.

[@iasibey1]

man tama drums are amazing

[@DRod06DrumChamp]

Great job cuz.. U did your thing.. Much love. From Daniel Rodriguez 06 Drum Off.

[@johnrodriguez9977]

Yup ! This kid is really great the double pedal stuff is killer !

[@joshCamG]

He is just crazy...he doesn’t looks like that amazing drum player...looks simple and a gentle guy...but the way he plays is just wow and unbelievable and the the beating is just amazing tight...

[@bobguy14]

amazing ghosted notes...I love this guy

[@iiDrum123]

his snare must be haunted from all the ghost notes

[@jockerboofer]

Soo groovy, awesome job man !

[@jamiequinlan]

I am a proud owner of such a kit :)

[@roki92]

@gunfighterdrummer it´s a double pedal

[@bluuuuarrg]

imo i think these drummers in guitar center drum off plays better than the top 100 drummers in this world today.

[@organicmilk5]

i've probably seen this more than 10 times

[@et720]

This guy is effin good...he doesn't have drummer ADHD where they switch beats every 2 seconds. He sticks with each beat for a while and lets it sink in...I like

[@xtenthfloorx]

this is ill,i love the starclassics sound is beautiful,go TAMA!

[@3rudymora]

@F4LL3NFury yeah dude seriously since when did drums become a circus act?! i enjoy the groove and feel of the rhythm! how do stick flips help the feel or groove!?

[@deejyfed]

love it

[@JakeFields92]

such an epic introduction. thats the meanest shuffle ive ever heard

[@thebeatsmith6594]

@FirmButtFare - I don't know why....but when I read your post....that sh_t cracked me up......good one dude.

[@KerWu]

what type of TAMA starclassic is it?

[@Weallfart]

THIS IS VERY VERY VERY GOOD!!!

[@KellerColeman]

Great video, great chops!

[@Crazyegg1234]

@DREWSKIBOY1 they're now allowing drummers to sign up as of August 1rst

[@1drummachine20]

I know I have heard the opening groove TONS of times before, BUT........he was incredibly smooth not to mention the drums sound incredible. I wish at Charlotte NC drum off they tuned their drums better.

[@jej495]

3 best things to ever happen to man Water, Food, and Guitar Center Drum off

[@AstralHiGH]

I would fucking die for a drum set that sound's as good as this D:

[@pinkhotty100]

Wow! Pure sweetness..

[@KamenRiderRhino]

@GuitarCenterTV The title says 2011 ... People might get a little confused

[@DavidMcmenemy]

Loved it.

[@Tomk916]

I want to download this so bad.

[@PartyMartyDrums]

Don't forget the grandpa of drumming Buddy Rich. He was a show man from hell and he was full of chops, groove, and serious attitude. He set the bar. Nobody was bashing him for being a bad ass. Sure.. people said he was an asshole.. but seriously? Have you ever seen the West Side Story tapes? He was sick as shit! This Luis Clown Jr. guy has completely wiped out all evidence of what performing is about. TO be truly a show man. Wow... he has groove.. 1,000's more can do the same damn thing.

[@carlos1325963]

Love the groove.

[@markired42]

i love how the title of the video is 2011 and the background says 2010

[@SmackDownBrown49]

Now this is what I love -- tasty drumming with great grooves. Don't care about stick twirling or elbows flailing. It's called "drumming" not "showboating."

[@whitesebi]

That first beat wins the whole damn competition for me

[@Ltrinityradio777]

Bruh he didn’t win

[@Ltrinityradio777]

I sat with the brother after , along with Daniel Rodriguez his fam , vip back stage , we all said he choked…. We all wanted him to win

[@ErnieIthier]

Peopel he's a finalist, he did something right! jeez.... he has groove for days go check out his store vid and tell me he didn't kill his solo...

[@Brofessionalss]

This dude should've won... Such an awesome groove on that kit

[@zoner12311]

i never thought an OCDP X series snare would sound so good.

[@TheAnime23]

I haven't even seen who the winner is apparently yet but thus far this guy's flow ....OMG SOO SMOOTH!, much showmanship as well :p

[@619505drummer]

absolute control of his playing

[@bobayersquebec]

maybe my best drum off serie solo based on a beat !

[@nazal100ml]

You'are A Champion

[@nachosam98]

this guy loves what he's doing

[@davids8765]

@gunfighterdrummer Well i thought your question was is he usin a double pedal...of curse there is a double pedal in that drum set

[@ForrestRice]

SO DAMN CLEAN

[@kidnaz500]

this kid should be the winner.

[@McGrot]

@iplaywithnoshoes Word. The sound of the snare is awesome too.

[@joeyjuniorjunior]

ahh nice man :)

[@SamS5402]

no it's not. This is the finalist for 2011. JP, guy with the mohawk, won the one in 2011.

[@ForrestRice]

dang, this guy has been features twice cause guitar center never changed the date.

[@Muahaha651]

@ZackLikesCheese so why didn't you try out and see if you could be a finalist?

[@TheItalianDrummer]

Lmao his face when he hits the bell at 0:20

[@ascoltatoreful]

non lo conscevo,bellissimo!!!!!!

[@DrummerJez86]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH jersey shore invaded the drum off

[@jacksonstrong4190]

spoken like somebody who's never been to Jersey. Dude is dominican

[@buttersdus]

i like this performance because it's more about playing grooves rather than flashy drum fills and such.

[@redguy1993]

@gunfighterdrummer it's dbl pdl..you can see it at 2:49

[@TrevWILL79]

Nice work with the Double pedal. I'm not a fan of it but I like when its used properly. but three dudes used that same lick for crowd participation @ 4:04.

[@tony13fg]

@joeycrow what would you have wanted to see?

[@Zazquatch1]

Yes I say the same....allthough I think it is a 10' and a 14 floor, 20 BD. I am glad I did not decide to buy TAMA. This is either a Maple kit or a Bubinga that is suppose to be "TOP OF THE LINE".

[@ForrestRice]

@allfu93 Its the drumming of the future man!

[@TrevWILL79]

Nice work with the Double pedal. I'm not a fan of it but I like when its used properly.

[@MadmanMoon]

Wow he was precise as fuck. Got some serious groove too.

[@JesseBatesDrums]

this dude got the best tone and sound from that kit.its not just abot flash.

[@DMUSIC716]

Now this is Original , I like this solo ! Most of the finalist mimicked Flood & Sampson !

[@xdrummer2010x]

This guys good, shuffle rhythms feel so good to play!

[@MikeMac63640]

Everyone's a frickin expert on the internet.

[@ChickenVendetta]

His small tom sounds frigging incredible.

[@jamiequinlan]

I NEED to learn that beat. Anyone know what pattern he is using?

[@joeyjuniorjunior]

its actually a 10" i own a set of TAMA buginga elite and i promise you when you tune them low there killer sounding, what kit do you have?

[@jmr2master]

Love how he looks like he left the office and had to go get funky lol.

[@pedroalagos9771]

Caraaaaaajo!!!!! He grooves!!

[@allfu93]

has anybody noticed that the video title says '11 drum off and at the beginning of the vid it says Drum Off 2010! WTF???????

[@JDOtero79]

Yeah Buddy. Luis your the man. In my eyes your my winner. Lol. I boys got grove. ADR.

[@MrAdobo77]

I remember Jeff Porcaro.

[@beefhead27]

@heats1 thank you, just testing your knowledge of the amendments

[@noleafclover2200]

man this is someone I wanna jam with..not the stick flipping "champion"

[@06livefast]

god damn this shuffle is toooooooo tight

[@bball98038]

Worlds greatest ghost notes player!

[@vegan.yogi.drummer]

@rvarg89 i think is two on right pedal one on the left in a triplet feel

[@overtime2005]

if had been more colorful he would be considered one the world's greats in the making.

[@RodZilla11]

From a style and tone perspective I would have liked to see him with more TOMS. Its kind of weird to have a DOUBLE BASS and ONE TOM. Then they didn't really mic the cow bell right. He's a great drummer and I really believe that he will go far, but in a COMPETITION of this caliber, you have to bring your A-GAME!!

[@DangerSquirtle]

Personally, I think it's more impressive to see a good drummer doing creative things when he has less to work with. And I don't think it's weird at all to have a double bass with only two toms. Look at Matt Halpern--he's an absolutely excellent drummer who does lots of double bass stuff, and he--up until fairly recently, I think--only used a floor tom. In my opinion, too much equipment can potentially be a kind of crutch. You start to rely on all your fancy doodads and forget the technique and such. That said, there are plenty of drummers who disprove that, such as Terry Bozzio, but I'm just saying in general.

[@DrummerJez86]

+David Rodgers there were many people in the early days of 2 bass drums with one up tom and 1 floor tom

[@RodZilla11]

I'm talking about a personal preference for competition perspective. When you are competing and everyone is close in skill level, additional sounds, TO ME, can be the turning point between winning and losing. And again, this kid, can really play, but I would have liked to see and hear a more full sound. But that's just me.

[@my300zx96]

yess!!!!
