Matt Penland Tenors I&E 2011 Champion HD [**1080p**]

[@Drumlinechops]

Great composition, great tone quality, great technique, great chops, great performance...Matt Penland ladies and gentlemen!

[@zharston]

I love how the door monitor looked bored at the beginning, staring out the window mostly. By the end of the solo, she was smiling and put down her clipboard to applaud him. If you can appeal to the door monitor, I tip my hat to you, sir! Absolute quality, in every meaning of the word. Bravo!

[@stixx1492]

This is absolutely amazing

[@CleanIsClean]

one of the best tenor players to ever grace the earth lol

[@TheBrobano]

only person to end a quad solo on drum 3, what a genius.

[@rayl9]

ive never noticed, but the lady in the green in the back, gets SO happy after he pulls the traditional and the backsticking stuff haha. I love it

[@ElementalJerk]

This dude played the phantom 2010 break like 4 times in this

[@sergeirachmaninoff8481]

Goes to show how much that break never made sense but was so the best

[@MrJoezinn]

Triple backsticking on tenors, you are now my favorite tenor player. along with the traditional grip.

[@YellowElephant45]

What a boss. He did my high school tenor auditions this year but i didn't know who he was then..

[@TheFarSideOfNj]

Yeah !!! One of the best musically constructed solos I have seen ! Kudos my friend, you kept me watching the entire time :-)

[@DustinDoelling6]

This was an amazing performance. Thanks, Mattie!

[@vicfirthdrummer95]

Not to post an ignorant comment but he is probably one of the best tenor players I have ever seen.

[@hardyman691]

Greatest I&E solo ever .

[@jakubrox19]

My drum instructor taught this man in high school. Like a bawss.

[@wagglemonkey]

it was tuned for smooth criminal....

[@bexsoy]

those are some monster chops

[@BillBachmansDrumworkout]

Pretty cool! (I especially like 1:40 on spock.)

[@OldSchoolLovin15]

oh definitely my favorite i&e tenor solo since the jackson dynasty.

[@nicoremby]

This is the best tenor solo I've ever seen... Brb, gonna go give up drumming.

[@Millnar]

hmm 4 dislikes, 4 people must have had their Headphones on max when he starting to play

[@1693scubasteve]

loving the opening lick is just phantoms quad solo from 2010...well played sir

[@Tenifus]

I wasn't expecting this! Amazing! Lol and I love the guy screaming in the audience.

[@SnorlaxWithSnax]

how many times does he have to play the 2010 tenor break? haha

[@BenjiBaker]

I love the pit in the window trying to watch lol awesome

[@LJLiveLV]

This was amazing.

[@24DaniS24]

This guy is a legend

[@OldSchoolLovin15]

definitely best i&e setting.

[@GetOnYourDot]

At Drums Along The Rockies (2011) my friends and I only watched one group in the lot because we clearly wanted to see shows. We watched the obvious #1 lot show in Corps. Well, their warm ups are only 4 measures long and they just rep them continuously. I tell you this because after every single rep of their triplet warm up the center tenor, Matt, yelled out random words like "pancake" and "giraffe". Maybe they're code for something.... or maybe not.

[@EciruamreklaW]

holyfuckingjesuschristgod'smother.... That has to be the greatest tenor I&E since Bats out of Hell. Good Friken God.

[@ChefShawnPratt]

holy crap, this dude sweeps like a janitor....

[@Gazeboism]

The opening lick is the break from phantom 2010

[@Mattacus94]

The three that disliked this; Bill Bachman, Scott Johnson, and me, because he has more skill in his carpal tunnel than I do in my entire being :(

[@snarepsycho1616]

lol I was excited to watch this part, but then I forgot what time to look for because my brain exploded.

[@topherstott]

the michael jackson quote was very cool

[@kelsbannon]

He plays variations on the tenor solo like 3 times.

[@chaser22081]

Man the echo rumbles the whole damn building haha

[@MrViOlEnCeIsGoLdEn]

@ 3:14 i lost it. thats fucking crazy. thats like 8 notes a second. fucking insane

[@GreenPurpleStuph]

Anybody know what sticks/mallets he's using?

[@luvsthickwhitechicks]

The JONZ is back!

[@MEPmonster89]

@zildjian1884 Could I see the sheet music?

[@Buggsyb123]

Best quad champion EVER!

[@RCMS74]

@Jdrummzz He was on Phantoms line that year

[@CFXS]

Why did he keep playing the tenor solo from phantom 2010

[@JOSHnNIX]

I'd love to see what this looks like on a piece of sheet music

[@quadlogic34]

like times a million times a million...times another million

[@grantoldblueeagle]

Wow what skill honor to watch

[@wyattmastin487]

Wow, that 1080p came at a price in audio quality 😂

[@joshmengle]

damnit my brains are all over the wall......thanks Matt

[@onionn-ring]

he writes for phantom right?

[@shadofreally]

fuck that was crazy in a good way

[@jonesdivera5325]

umbeliveble!

[@gentrywalker]

Hence the term, "Champion".

[@boket5u]

@jub2k1 It was like 105 out that day. Most everyone played, loaded the truck, then ran off to the mall to watch a movie and eat. Or just wander around San Antonio and get lost.

[@gatorboy195]

1:17 ... and not a single rim to be heard ... AMAZING!!!!

[@jsk8drummer]

i love the mj stuff the king would be proud

[@RiniOnTheBeat]

Dope, was that Pulse's Spree at 1:40?

[@jojopufff]

How do you dislike this?

[@PRICEBD04]

The piece is called Geek

[@latrendat1]

annie are you ok?

[@rojograndeypelu]

was he playing smooth criminal??

[@1DRUMMAdude]

@doublebassheeltoe I caught that too. It's just the structure of the spree, hella filled in with reefed beats. pretty cool

[@jglittlej]

SCV was so cool with their t shirts and jeens

[@andrews1693]

I give up playing drums forever. i cant compete with this -_-

[@caseyys]

See those? They're called "Mallets". Some men use them to drum on multi-tenors with.

[@ZeroEditsWeightlifitng]

HAHAHA did anyone else realize the beginning was smooth criminal?!?!

[@lpenland415]

@jub2k1 He was on the road with DCI - living on a bus - I doubt he had one in his back pack :-)

[@onceaponatimedotdot]

This is my friend's cousin, and HE friended ME on facebook. Waddup?

[@homeboy1989]

guess where he marched last year

[@PercussionGeek1]

Score?

[@canyoureadthis123]

I was already on my knees the first 1:30 seconds he played...

[@jesseenriquez]

A lot of this is from his pasic I and e

[@zildjian1884]

does anyone want me to send them the sheet music to this?

[@MMAPGAMINGBRO]

zildjian1884 please

[@tommymcmeans]

Heard that Pulse Spree in there haha.

[@TheBrobano]

@bsoeban He didn't really steal it since he was on that line.

[@XxL3GiTxSNaKExX]

Tyrone Biggs would just say "Goddamn!!!"

[@Pablohussle18]

I marched with him in high school...

[@DrummerBoySwagg]

THE CLAW!!!

[@SuperSquatch1]

That's pretty standard tenor tuning for Paul Rennick, regardless of year.

[@JohnDonovanDotBiz]

sweet solo!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Opieandchong]

I lost my shit when he did the casey claw, that was just too fuckin much, man.

[@charliebucket53]

i am much better but i am not going to post my solo because it will make him feel bad

[@JacobHalfman]

lel k

[@CrownQT]

His hands were Kung-Fu fighting!!!! They were as fast as lightning... 0_o

[@fastone56]

@masterdrummer19 No, Keelan won, however that dosen't change the fact that Johnathan Leal is a great drummer

[@PRICEBD04]

Bill Bachman's arrangement lick at 1:40 on spock

[@gentrywalker]

S'all good man.

[@Ian.WyDrums]

This has to be one of the worst places to hold an I&E competition. But Penland is awesome, so that makes up for it.

[@BSBINC1]

Try to plaed Smooth on the tenor and i failed

[@DAE4100]

yeah, uh.. My mind was just freakin' blown...

[@cadet345]

No rims were harmed in the making of this solo.

[@billiswillis4087]

💖🤔😇😂😇🤔💖

[@jayroc361]

so...... Tim Jackson, who??

[@topkid1988]

Why couldn't they play outside? the indoor echoes so much it makes good drum playing sound like a mindfuck of intensity D:

[@LimpTwizzler]

@vicfirthdrummer95 you should check out bill bachman

[@damulac1]

:16 oh "deviation" that sounds pretty coo- OH MY GOD NECROMORPHS

[@CaptainKylan]

homage to Phantom 2010 at 1:33

[@juststeve392]

yes he was :P

[@Magucci13]

1:18 I drooled a little

[@masterbean9527]

shit just got real.

[@TheUsernameunknown3]

I imagine if the greek gods played percussion, it sounded a lot like this.

[@Coze125]

He opened with Phantom's 2010 quad solo...hm.

[@masterdrummer19]

your telling me thats not bill bachman? oh
