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

[@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

[@TheBrobano]

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

[@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

[@YellowElephant45]

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

[@MrJoezinn]

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

[@DustinDoelling6]

This was an amazing performance. Thanks, Mattie!

[@wagglemonkey]

it was tuned for smooth criminal....

[@TheFarSideOfNj]

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

[@SnorlaxWithSnax]

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

[@BillBachmansDrumworkout]

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

[@Millnar]

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

[@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.

[@bexsoy]

those are some monster chops

[@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.

[@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.

[@BenjiBaker]

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

[@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.

[@LJLiveLV]

This was amazing.

[@EciruamreklaW]

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

[@24DaniS24]

This guy is a legend

[@OldSchoolLovin15]

definitely best i&e setting.

[@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 :(

[@MrViOlEnCeIsGoLdEn]

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

[@snarepsycho1616]

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

[@kelsbannon]

He plays variations on the tenor solo like 3 times.

[@MEPmonster89]

@zildjian1884 Could I see the sheet music?

[@RiniOnTheBeat]

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

[@chaser22081]

Man the echo rumbles the whole damn building haha

[@shadofreally]

fuck that was crazy in a good way

[@ChefShawnPratt]

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

[@RCMS74]

@Jdrummzz He was on Phantoms line that year

[@onionn-ring]

he writes for phantom right?

[@GreenPurpleStuph]

Anybody know what sticks/mallets he's using?

[@luvsthickwhitechicks]

The JONZ is back!

[@JOSHnNIX]

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

[@topherstott]

the michael jackson quote was very cool

[@wyattmastin487]

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

[@jojopufff]

How do you dislike this?

[@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.

[@grantoldblueeagle]

Wow what skill honor to watch

[@Gazeboism]

The opening lick is the break from phantom 2010

[@Buggsyb123]

Best quad champion EVER!

[@quadlogic34]

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

[@joshmengle]

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

[@CFXS]

Why did he keep playing the tenor solo from phantom 2010

[@caseyys]

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

[@rojograndeypelu]

was he playing smooth criminal??

[@jonesdivera5325]

umbeliveble!

[@gentrywalker]

Hence the term, "Champion".

[@lpenland415]

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

[@1DRUMMAdude]

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

[@onceaponatimedotdot]

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

[@charliebucket53]

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

[@JacobHalfman]

lel k

[@gatorboy195]

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

[@jsk8drummer]

i love the mj stuff the king would be proud

[@SuperSquatch1]

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

[@latrendat1]

annie are you ok?

[@tommymcmeans]

Heard that Pulse Spree in there haha.

[@andrews1693]

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

[@TheBrobano]

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

[@PercussionGeek1]

Score?

[@XxL3GiTxSNaKExX]

Tyrone Biggs would just say "Goddamn!!!"

[@PRICEBD04]

The piece is called Geek

[@jglittlej]

SCV was so cool with their t shirts and jeens

[@homeboy1989]

guess where he marched last year

[@canyoureadthis123]

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

[@Opieandchong]

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

[@jesseenriquez]

A lot of this is from his pasic I and e

[@LimpTwizzler]

@vicfirthdrummer95 you should check out bill bachman

[@zildjian1884]

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

[@MMAPGAMINGBRO]

zildjian1884 please

[@JohnDonovanDotBiz]

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

[@Davis.smith.weightlifting]

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

[@DantesInf3rn0]

🔥🔥🔥

[@fastone56]

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

[@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.

[@DrummerBoySwagg]

THE CLAW!!!

[@CrownQT]

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

[@Pablohussle18]

I marched with him in high school...

[@jayroc361]

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

[@CaptainKylan]

homage to Phantom 2010 at 1:33

[@damulac1]

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

[@gentrywalker]

S'all good man.

[@topkid1988]

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

[@PRICEBD04]

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

[@0Aquamelon]

“RIP headphone users,” -me, a headphone user

[@Magucci13]

1:18 I drooled a little

[@juststeve392]

yes he was :P

[@DAE4100]

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

[@TheUsernameunknown3]

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

[@cadet345]

No rims were harmed in the making of this solo.

[@billiswillis4087]

💖🤔😇😂😇🤔💖

[@masterdrummer19]

your telling me thats not bill bachman? oh

[@blakeisthebeast]

i think i just crapped my pants
