Snare Drum Solo by John Wooton - Drumeo

[@docholiday629]

I wish I would have learned all this when I was a kid. It would make things a lot easier for me now. Amazing to listen and watch.

[@GageDrums]

It's never too late!

[@docholiday629]

I'm working on it.

[@mg682]

Anyone have a guideline to help with a guy like me? I played snare in high school in 2014. But we only played beginner style patterns and cadences.

[@docholiday629]

I'm not good at this myself but for whatever its worth the drummers that I personally know that are extremely good know ALL their rudiments front to back and everything else in between. They also know how to apply them not only on the snare but a full kit. With their hands and their feet separately and together. It's really crazy to watch. Not only that but they sound very musical not just chops over and over. It actually sounds good.

[@joecaroselli5858]

As a drumming instructor myself who has done clinics with all of the top players, I really like John a lot. He is a showman, yes... but he can back it up with real talent and musicality. It's not just flash. Also, he plays the drum set very well, and he can rock and swing. He is not just a chops guy. I have great respect for John.

[@MDNDrums]

Loved literally every second of this. Impeccable technique and awesome showmanship. Some of the stick tricks genuinely made me shout at my phone in disbelief.

[@Ranger1216]

Dr. Wooten talent would also make a great short stop. Great hands!

[@Feskprins]

I've always had massive respect for Wooton. And this just reinforced that! His attention to detail is just mind blowing.

[@johnwooton]

Blackwood Drummer thank you. I will use this as inspiration

[@Hsel-lc1wt]

I have so much respect for snare drummers - as a regular kit player, i would never be able to do any of this!

[@prhmusic]

I played snare my senior year in high school in 1988 - we did NOTHING close to this...

[@matthewpaluch777]

Chris Hi Chris, remember this; Nothing is impossible with the help of GOD! That and awhole lotta practice!

[@mg682]

prhmusic played snare in high school in 2014. We played nothing complex. Only played simple stuff. The other three high schools played complex stuff. We had no guidance or a good director.

[@rjl1onawi]

Some of it would be more difficult on a kit. But give it a try first on the snare from a standing position. Nothing ventured nothing gained

[@mahockey3]

Matthew Paluch stfu with that bullshit lmao. This is drumming. Practice makes things achievable. Not a skydaddy.

[@mrpositronia]

I learnt the snare in a marching band back in the mid 80s. So I love watching stuff like this. Just don't ask me to play a full kit. Haha!

[@rjl1onawi]

I used to do some back sticking and stick flips back in the day. Nowhere near as cool as what this guy is doing. Now I just jam on my set. This makes me want to get back into it. Props to Mr. Wooten.

[@noahdrums5810]

I have a Massive respect for Dr.Wooton. always loved the old school stuff

[@moibuspm]

I'll never ever understand why people give thumbs down to amazing videos. I guess its from jealous losers that cant even tap a 4/4 rhythm!! Thanks for all the diverse content your channel provides!

[@ToomanyFrancis]

Having played marching snare in multiple high level groups, I disliked this video because it is extremely basic. And the drum sound really terrible. I doubt sco-jo had a large part in this.

[@meh84f84f]

I felt the same way as gausgovy. I thought the track playing over the top was tacky, the drum sounded out of place and weird in the music a lot of the time, and the actual playing was rather simple and at times, out of time. Nothing against this guy specifically, I just don't think this is a very good performance.

[@user-tz6jl7qt8k]

@@ToomanyFrancis He played this. So yes he had a big part of this.

[@PersonMan1]

It sounded like me slapping my belly, or clapping, i usualy expect a "spbow", not "clac".

[@jacobbau8328]

PersonMan1 it’s different than what I’m assuming you listen to. You may be talking about a concert snare drum, this is a marching snare drum, they sound a whole lot different. The marching snare is tighter to allow more notes to come through and th sound is a whole lot crisper, like that “clac” sound you described, and a concert snare is more fuzzy sounding to mesh better with a larger range of instruments and be louder and more noticeable, and it makes that kind of “spbow” sound. You might haven been mistaking the two types.

[@Bdrums2112]

Too cool! Met John at Texas Day of Percussion. He brought out this 1800s snare drum and let us try it out. Insanely cool!

[@ABBryAm]

I like how expressive this man is. Awesome.

[@lrbrito91]

Nice! You guys should have a series with marching snare. Have snare drummers come in and teach and give tips.

[@elliot5950]

Great Idea!!!

[@CyberIllusions]

AWESOME Performance!! Definitely a highlight on Drumeo!

[@unclemonster48]

I can remember back in 86 in the 26 standard rudiments book and seeing the great dr John Wooten on several pages. I need to get my book and and get back to studying. Dr Wooten your a beast!

[@Dr.Natrell]

I’m have his son as my drum teacher!!!!

[@LIKEANDSUB4MEPLS]

Luckily

[@EyeLuvShiki]

That’s amazing man.

[@vinskilindqvist4554]

What?

[@sweel863]

poggers

[@eiliyahmehmi6505]

😂

[@andybis3251]

Way out wild won-drum-derland of Wooton...thanks for sharing.

[@aaroncagi1175]

WOW WOW, something new on Drumeo, it's great. I hope this artists can bring us an interview about his vision and why they do this kind of things un the music. I actualy study Music un the Highschooll AND this kind of pieces can bring yo the Drumers a new AND bigest vision of the word of percusion. Saludos desde México y disculpen mi inglés jaja. Espero que ocasionalmente puedan añadir distinto contenido como este o percusion latina, eso ayudaría mucho a subir su audiencia muchachos, muy buen trabajo.

[@aiden0809]

His wife: show me what those fingers can do 😏. John:

[@johnwooton]

Best comment yet.

[@borgullet3376]

That's gotta be some of the coolest shit I've ever seen... John you Killed that shit dude...

[@JShmoe]

Okay, that was neat. Took me back to the 80's and my drumline days.

[@michaelandcolinspop]

Wooten’s technique is super entertaining to watch, especially the right hand style, which one of my instructors called the “puppy paw” grip back in the ‘80s and ‘90s. I’ve always preferred it for wrist control and finger speed instead of the “fff” stick heights and overplaying of today. Perhaps it was borne out of the Mylar head days? I don’t know. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. And that Pearl sounds incredible. Love those things!

[@zhukovdrums]

My teacher of rudiments from VF Education! Respect

[@LEONARDRUM]

Grazie John e grazie Drumeo!!! Amazing staff!!!

[@betterworldok3802]

Excellent, too good, very skilful. Great beats

[@RafikMankariosDrumStudio]

This is just BEAST visual snare drumming!

[@stogler]

He would have sounded good without the music

[@ToomanyFrancis]

Well, it is mostly quarter notes and basic rudiments, it would've sounded extremely open and empty.

[@johnwooton]

Huh?

[@alejandramunoz9079]

stogler fam it gives it rhythm if not it would be boring

[@josiah.deehavard4555]

This snare is so tight 🔥

[@rayszymarek2920]

Very clean articulate drumming. I would rather listen to this man drumming instead of this heavy metal drumming out there today. I am a big big big fan of the late great buddy rich. Buddy was clean clean clean and buddy was the drummer to listen to

[@DDooMRooMM]

My god that was AWESOME

[@russellchadwick7274]

OMG, is this guy for real...awesome!!!!!!!

[@pedrumb]

Makes me smile!

[@highneb1]

Completely awesome, straight fact

[@FadjarMoeljarto]

Incredible John... nice 🥁🔥👍

[@devendrakumarsharma1058]

Best drummer ever

[@roidigitalggroup1721]

Awesome 🙃I have to get a snare drum now!

[@redwinedrummer]

Too bad KZbin's compression killed it. Let's all play in fff. But awesome drumming!

[@thatboymonts1827]

1:09 was my fav part

[@mihaidrums5]

I really like to see something new on Drumeo..

[@FernandoCuadro]

John Wooton is a fucking legend!

[@allndoorz695]

And ur one of my favorite 🥁🎯💯

[@NAR-z3pd]

Everybody likes percussion because it's so interesting

[@yyyaaa3928]

Uncle John looking dope af

[@jade7602]

Amazing!

[@tonywilson6379]

AHHHH THAT WAS INSANE

[@valvac5250]

Super. Very good Man.

[@akhileshnair13]

So cool

[@spaceface3122]

Now do it while walking forwards, backwards, side-stepping etc. in time with a heavy carrier and helmet on....... Nothing gives you better chops than marching.

[@erbmiller]

spaceface3122 I want to say he marched phantom back in ‘80’s and may have did some similar if not harder work. Not to mention the carriers back then where far more atrocious to march with then anything used today aside from maybe a sling.

[@samuelbang2268]

spaceface3122 You didn't just say that did you? Do you even know who John Wooton is?😂😂😂

[@samuelbang2268]

@Enzo Bortoluzzi He was the center snare at Phantom in the late 80s😂

[@professoralexburnerofstone]

Bruh shut the hell up

[@samsignorelli]

@@erbmiller Except for Bridgemen, slings were long gone by the time Wooten marched. I think the snare carriers came in just after ScoJo aged out of BD.

[@andro8284]

AMAZING!

[@logan77ist]

Great video!

[@openmindedcollegelevel6382]

Nice 👍 man let me get my Promark Marching Sticks and let me get the practicing going on right Now I’m motivated

[@dandaledantes8575]

Im a big fan of you kohn wooton

[@jeremy144713]

Great video! But please either mic the snare better where you have a full body sound and more of a low end (drumeo) or please just change snares all together (John). Over all though the solo it's self was awesome!

[@kanedgytheguy8105]

That is one high tuned drum

[@allndoorz695]

Greatness 🏆💯BYOS

[@sergiozdrums]

amazing!!!!!!!!!

[@47productions83]

TUUUUUFFF!

[@VikshitDas]

great drumming

[@alexmok2]

Can we get Roger Carter on drumeo to do a drum set AND marching snare lesson??? That would be the best lesson. Then make him play his SRC lick live on both snare and set.

[@BradyKacon]

yes please omg

[@arryomas8403]

BYOS

[@d.r1499]

Was this guy ever at Drumtek. Because there was someone, that done this, in Sydney & Melbourne, i think??, but some other song from 2012.

[@countrylife04]

awesome

[@harshitgarg9703]

i love tight snares mixed with rimshots

[@Dylanmj04]

I remember when he did this with the flam 5.

[@abednegohamonangan]

EPIC

[@ray-y5x]

oh, I think no need to play the music, it's a great solo!

[@paulblakey4589]

Tremendous

[@primalconcretesledge3137]

That snare sounds SIIIIICK!!!!!

[@HadEnough745]

I never understood why the preferred sound of these types of snares are so thin. I nice deep crack would sound better to me.I would like to hear this on a regular snare drum.

[@user-tz6jl7qt8k]

Nah this is the recording I think. Marching snare sound nothing like that when tuned well.

[@IBKTaco]

To cut through a marching band and to keep a tight sound makes it easier to play the same thing with the other 8 drummers in the snare line

[@cam0227]

1:32 is when the copyright claim began

[@kunns123]

Are the stick tricks really necessary? It makes me anxious every time he lifts the stick. Its like I am watching the whole awesome solo while on the verge of a mental breakdown.

[@leedsdrumacademy]

kunns123 That's on you, buddy. ;)

[@charnelveil669]

That's what the Flam Five Does... Sorry that charisma and flare fucks with your brain like that...Wow... I am mentally ill and it's not that dramatic to me.... In fact, it's pretty damn invigorating for me...

[@user-tz6jl7qt8k]

Showmanship. Thats all folks.

[@samsignorelli]

The stick tricks are part of marching percussion.

[@dlumis]

WOW!

[@johnmayberry3967]

What is the small strip of white tape at the bottom of the stick? Does it help rebound or vibration? I know about the tape on top half, but why on the butt end?

[@MrTerryzhou1985]

respect

[@maxdominate2481]

Dr John, are you still using Coopermans? I can't tell with the tape.

[@VikshitDas]

nice video

[@celinetiare6095]

Merci beaucoup pour cette super video......😘

[@malcolmhisky6665]

What's the name of the trick at 1:20 when he hits his stick so that it hits the snare and bounces back up?

[@hmuphilly9129]

Please do you have lessons on just marching snare?

[@freezxr1751]

bet this dude knows how to eat with chopsticks

[@piercetori1980]

boiiiii

[@sid552]

1:08 Holy fuck that was awesome

[@michaelclifford6659]

1:12

[@chrizznist]

There should be a video without the sound to be a true solo. But it's still impressive

[@hugorezende199]

This marching band snare stuffs are always insteresting, Im from brasil, we do have percurssive stuff that are awesome, but the showmanship is very nice on this kind of stuff and lots of rudiments...i just think the back track dont combine AT ALL with the video proposal. Also im to use to snare sounds that are far from this.

[@gabrielamadan6831]

WOW😍

[@jimandrews89]

If it's a "solo" cut the back track. Anyone watching Drumeo is actually interested in the drumming.

[@sid552]

1:10 holy fuck that was awesome!

[@zarajax]

Anybody known which Vic Firth sticks these are?

[@OrthodoxyRuslife]

What are the names of the works that sound in this composition?

[@abnerfreitasabreu7986]

Um dia eu chego la

[@AndreasCsok]

@Drumeo where can I get a lesson on these Sticktricks or where can I find a description of these (7 Note Flurry, Hi Mom-Grip....??)

[@ileksoku]

Well hellloooooo silver fox

[@richardpacini816]

What kind of stick he use?

[@tjay9958]

The good ol paintbrush

[@erbmiller]

What head set up did Dr. Wooton use for the video?

[@johnwooton]

Remo Cybermax on the batter side and Ambassador snare on the bottom. I wasn't happy with the tuning though. I think I got a little overzealous with the drum key.

[@erbmiller]

John Wooton thank you! We all get a little overzealous with the key every now and then.

[@hopperharmon]

What the hell were we thinking watching this

[@jhojanmanrique177]

Please name the song from 1:04 to 1:28

[@josiah.deehavard4555]

I would like more rudiments than visuals though

[@TheElmerelmer]

Is there any songlist

[@morganjohnson9015]

Shout out to BOYZ and raplah Nader
