Snare Solo Competition

[@DrummerDaan]

DUDE!!!! That was sooooooo tight, you're technique is awesome... Keep up the good work!

[@b8thspartan]

those were awesome, I loved the bearclaws in both. Crazy chops.

[@SpenceThePrince]

Ya'll are definitely my favorite drummers on youtube. You show that the drummer makes the drum and the drum doesn't make the drummer. Our line is all DCI sized Dynasty everything and we have these two hothead black girls who think they're amazing just because they have Dynastys. Now me and my tenor partner are a different story. I'm not as good as ya'll but he is.

[@Drummerguy2009]

Hey guys I just wanna say good job. I have played drums all my life and i know how much time, and money it takes to get at the skill level you are at now. just dont back down and keep pushing yourselfs. yall have great potential. keep it up :)

[@doggeryt]

you are the best snare drummer i have ever seen

[@pr192001]

Very Cool solos and nice truning of the drum

[@PJMSnare04]

Hey, you go to Southaven huh? Cool! Yes, Mr. Sanders is an awesome director and writer. I bought an original from him for the LB competition in '02. Everyone else just made copies.

[@mapexplayer25]

im just got done with middle skool and im goin to be in my highskool marching band i have played snare with them before and man our marching band needs some work atleast we got good snares lol we need to get guys like u who can play insane thts i what i wanna be like u guys in my highskool year

[@PJMSnare04]

Well, he served as the Mississippi All-State Lion's Band marching director two years in a row. I was privelaged to be in it those two years.

[@bigness]

The first guy was playin' that snare intesly crazy with skill! Awesome!

[@ikarooz]

Heck with all you "experts", That was GREAT! Haggle about the sticking at Solo and Ensemble competition. Those cats were chillin' in their band room. If you are soooo good where are YOUR vids?

[@josevillegas1987]

Great chops man!

[@drummaboy2346]

1:59 is amazingly clean. Great Job

[@phantomarsh]

@littletaterdumplin just a bit of info, thats just BD's technique its not "always" supposed to be off the stick some people wrap it around

[@kas36spires]

that "second guy with spagghetti grip" as you called it marched tenors for phantom regiment a few seasons ago. And the word is spelled C-O-R-P-S.

[@punk1977rocker]

that was GREAT !!!

[@awefi]

Excellent control

[@PJMSnare04]

It's a 2000 model Pearl with a white Premier Tendura top head and a Remo Falams II on bottom.

[@nurvina]

damn man that is some good as solos

[@moonodude17]

If I could name what they just played, I would call it "Chopped to Death". Excellent job

[@amullin101]

that made me pick up a snare try to play along and.....fail miserably :P very nice playing

[@daehyun]

nicely tuned snare drum.

[@navendra]

i love the end when he goes "yeahhh,.."

[@allstar550]

Hey, i marched with nick 2 years on snare at lionsband. Tell him I said wus up if you see him sometime.

[@spartey01]

@rikuantu lol, ur supposed to use your thumb, your thumb and index finger are the main focus in your traditional fulcrum as well as being the smallest muscles in your fulcrum, same concept as matched grip, ur back fingers are the smallest muscles in your grip and in turn can move faster

[@alexstrong13]

Dayyyyynng that was epic.

[@331wildthing]

nice... very clean

[@PJMSnare04]

You did, but that second solo was written by Andy Sanders around 1995-98.

[@AsinisterJR]

@123kendrick and @thecalitree It can handle a kevlar head, cause thats what is on it . I used to have the same head on my snare but we just switched to the black maxx Kevlar heads instead of the white maxx Kevlar heads.

[@Jaydzil]

second guy killed it..much cleaner and put together

[@limitededish]

WOW! AMAZING MAN! JUST WOW! How do you do those paradiddles so fast?

[@seshysama]

2:42 to 2:58 was just the coolest groove

[@SinginShooter]

Makes me think of Red vs. Blue. "He's gotta run out of ammo sometime..."

[@BCSchmerker]

Looks as though a Pearl® FFX-1412 was used for this vid; Yamaha® has a close competitor in the MTS-9214. I'm looking for a better Tama®/Hoshino® snare than came with my New Imperialstar kit, ideally with a double-action strainer and Buzz Killer Mute-equipped gut frame. Will a resto-mod 14"x6" Metalworks do the job, or need I spring for the new 14"x9" Marching soprano snare?

[@djschrum]

You guys are great. Have fun and make sure you guys have a good career to fall back on because music doesn't pay the bills and the chicks only think it's cool when your dating. After your married...you better bring home the bacon. But you guys are cool....keep up the good work. I give you 4 out of 4 stars.

[@justreleased09]

He did judge. He judged me too. These guys are Paul(first guy), and Nick Manton from Clinton. My name is Blayze.

[@angeldevil5699]

AMAZING

[@cubabass1]

you better have gone to corps dude. best timing ive heard in a good while

[@jrdfreckles11]

omg, i play snare too, but i am nowhere near that good!! the first guy is just simply breath takingly good, i was very impressed. The second guy was good too...but the first guy (idk your names obviously) did a more challenging one i think. you were in 11th grade when you did these?!?! im just a freshman!! i hope i get as good as you 2.

[@touch2ndgen]

Speechless........

[@chauntetherocker]

Very nice, Where can i get the music, or was that just improv?

[@SuicidalSnare]

Mad sick. At around 1:56...is that a Casey Claw? Whatever it is, I need to know how to do it =P.

[@justreleased09]

Its cool man, you gave good advice. I know these guys. The second guy is marching Phantom this year. I have been taught by drum corps guys too. I personally love the 94 BD all wrist look, its just a littles unrealistic. HAve you marched a corps yet? Anyway, I wasn't meaning to come off as a jerk. you mad good points

[@SickRider24]

that was so beast

[@Atoweha]

looks like that snare has some major rebound

[@Tak922]

You from Southaven? I forgot if that's where Mr. Sanders works. Did you make it into Lion's band. I was a trumpet this summer on the Australia trip.

[@drummergoalie]

That was really great...i was wondering if you could send me something that would be good for a grade 9 beginner???

[@fishcity100]

alot of people when doing traditional grip will have the middle finger off the stick, it doesnt, or at least isn't supposed to, serve a purpose in traditional grip unless you use it for speed sticking

[@DrummerBoyTroy]

what type of head is tht? cuz its sounds good!!

[@DrJuice1]

but it doesn't seem to affect his playing. the stick height and speed looks the same as his right hand. i'm sure if it was an issue, his instructor would've corrected it.

[@stifler536]

@TheWesman95 i know but what brand and mark? Example, Pro-Mark DC50, something like that

[@SplinterProspekt]

Are there any exercises that anyone recommends for getting precise and fast drumming skills a boost, my main weakness is chops.

[@Mirber]

i love how "brickhouse198" has no videos of himself playing

[@Jimmy2e_]

thats 1 hell of a tilt

[@justreleased09]

Who is you're instructor? I know tim matlock, Kevin Tabb, Mike Mccary, and Jeff west. I'm from Tupelo....where are you from?

[@isiah1977]

Nice job. Did he marching DCI?

[@justreleased09]

Arm movement is cool man. He isn't marching in a line, its a solo. Plus, not using any arm is unnatural and messes with comfort as well as sound quality. Also, how would the way he is standing affect the sound?

[@DrummerBoyTroy]

oh....no......its a pearl 14x12 championship...i have one! the head idk, but the evans hybrid head is the newest one out...blue devils use it...thats a great one i just bought it.

[@rikuantu]

that was great

[@drumperson42]

thats a heck of a tilt

[@rod22100]

wow backsticking waz really clean

[@guyanaboy7]

were yall in hinds? i have that same shirt

[@drummer1995100]

Can someone explain to me what exactly having chops mean? I'm a freshman and I just started learning about more advanced drumming.

[@RandyHanley]

drumset snares always sound better than marching snares. *tap, pop, tap..fart*

[@Tak922]

Wait maybe you're from Hillcrest? You might be the guy Lauren Develle showed doing a snare solo.

[@drerocafella08]

god almighty he rules on the snare

[@Funknote01]

very nice, pay attention to the approach to grace notes. sometimes they are open and meaty, then sometimes they are closed and flat (Which is also a good choice) If you chose to have both interps, make it more apparent. other than that, nice job!

[@123Kerrick]

@PJMSnare04 if u get a kevlar head for that it would sound much better

[@justreleased09]

That dude is really good. I took some lessons from him. He is very.......educated. I'm marching Colt Cadets this summer, he marched colts 9 94 95 and was supposed to march 97 cadets, but ran out of money.lol

[@steeves420]

nice solo

[@Farquharson1992]

i think it's a cavalar head. idk if i spelled it right.

[@VicFirthkid22]

Hey i'm trying out on snare for lions band this year. How strict are they on the 2 min. max? 'Cause my solo is like 2 and a half.

[@medmondsr]

why are all these videos unavailable now?

[@Denshoukiro]

Is that Pearl Competitor High Tension snare?

[@PJMSnare04]

thank you!

[@hskellison]

is this chris slater, BD center from 2009?

[@dmansnareman]

what type of brand is that yamaha or snare

[@api9000]

even if i think of playing drums i can't imagine playin' that fast^^ i'm not american i don't know if there's anyone who teach you playing marching drum american way in germany ^^

[@rhssnare]

Is that a tendura head?

[@aliendrummer92]

I know ho you feel, I'm a sophmore, but i could never do that even if i wanted to.

[@LifeBehindE]

@ybsorc9 Thank you kindly.

[@drummer1995100]

@MeAckRoB Thanks

[@MikhailFederov]

Is ICE available for purchase?

[@oabrahamsson]

Yeah, now i get it - strength as in endurance/stamina. That´s right. :)

[@ThisBeEmily]

Nice singles.

[@MrDSX12]

wow ICE did that well while also wareing loafers

[@Irideson]

now thats called choppin

[@stifler536]

what type of drumsticks do you guys use?

[@PJMSnare04]

@drumperson42 Yes... too much tilt.

[@oabrahamsson]

it has nothing to do with muscles, if you flex your muscles while playing you´ll get stiff. Double strokes are the key here. So you can actually be weak (as opposed to fit) and still be this fast and accurate.

[@virtuosity7]

nice chops

[@th3392]

that was pretty fuckin sick.....i loved it all except the first guys backsticks...but all around amazing!

[@RandyHanley]

thank you judge #47.

[@taisharod2112]

i like how the second guy is wearing marching shoes lol :}

[@SaintsRow1177]

damn thats pretty sick

[@Lbw7778]

where is the love button

[@yadadaCHARLES]

the guy who played Ice looks like Chris Slater, the center for A corps in 09. xDD

[@drumguru718]

dude where are you marching?

[@bejay20x]

is this a high school or college?

[@racingdrumr]

pretty sick video. its kinda hard to see the sticks sometimes in front of your white shirt. good work, though!
