Tim Jackson I&E 2004

[@sangragganguli]

This is one of the best tenor solos I've ever seen!

[@Badoopboop]

Here in 2020. Love this still.

[@joshhamon9669]

Watched this 12 years ago and still watch it today

[@pasta_heals]

This is very musical. I love seeing people who can make a solo so musical, instead of just ramming notes down the audience's throat.

[@AjaxHammer6]

i honestly think this is the best solo out of his four years

[@drumsandperc92]

what impresses me more than anything is this guys precision. everything is so perfect. every little stick trick, flip, one stick roll (using front and back ends) etc, is so precise and in time. It's truly amazing.

[@reellifemusic]

this is my favorite thats a sweet groove he plays

[@drummer703]

NEVER gets old

[@SuperMANgino]

I just realized that he does a righty traditional in the middle there!!!! That's what he does just to show off a littlllllle bit! He's a genius, best tenor player ever

[@julianbanks9568]

This time the puffy mallet section was my favorite part!

[@rubenoh07]

So much practice condensed in four minutes of glory

[@kevinvlack5948]

Greatest tenor i&e of all time

[@jakehobbs]

how did that not start a fire? can you imagine all of the blisters!

[@JP-gr3tu]

1:52 cant stop

[@ether11111]

@FluffMuffTater , Thats awsome! I wish he was my drumline instructor

[@borocasanovo]

why haven't more people watched this!

[@Rockinnsk8inallday]

omg, this is why I completely respect marching drummers this is fucking great!!

[@DAPOOLPARTY]

So musical!

[@Tigerman286]

This guy is a beast!

[@TobiasKroeyer]

You press the Like button instead. Pretty straightforward concept.

[@divinocosta6400]

O cara é muito bom mesmo!!

[@Sethde79]

he is my director for percussion.

[@JBDrums.23]

heh. i wish i could say the same, a couple of guys that was in the drumline with me last year at college marched Cavaliers, my old roomate was a front ensemble member for 3 years, he's also a GREAT tenor player.

[@Bottlecap0]

just talked to this dude on the phone. whoaaa

[@ronalexisfalle5767]

like a DJ, nice play

[@AjaxHammer6]

omg. I just took timjacksons i & e solos from 2004 2003 2006 and 2005 on all different tabs. Then play them all at once it crazy like crazy

[@luisbalderrama9008]

i just noticed that he was playing cant stop by the rhcp

[@Drangsland]

2:56 made me instantly weep.. I bursted in tears"

[@monkeyball1233]

i love how he just walks away at the end. haha

[@TheJourney01]

someone in my school did football and marching band and was able to pull it off because he didnt quit. just because someone says you can't do something doesnt mean you listen it just means you proove them wrong.

[@jessebowles5632]

dude that was sickkk. you like think in 32nd and 64th note rythms holy shizz

[@wagglemonkey]

he won this year and the 2 years after. I&E tenors hasnt been the same since he aged out :/

[@mikidou99]

Insane!

[@poxnara1880]

im a tenor player too!! im proud being a tenor player!! but im just on highschool level.. so need mor practice.. =)

[@Sabiancym]

I was never in marching band in High School due to athletic commitments, but learned to drum in middle school and still play in rock bands today. One thing I don't understand is the purpose of these solo's. Is it more about showcasing technique than the actual sound? I could juggle my vic-firths all I want, it wouldn't make my band any better..........

[@RyanAsheDrums]

Well he doesn't exactly have a band with him in this video. They do these solos because why the hell not try to find out who the best players are each year? They judge on how clean you play(rims, rhythmic accuracy, stroke quality, etc.), technique and (for tenors) how comfortably you move around the drums :)

[@dennistownsend1915]

whats he is playing you will never have the chops to do ......

[@josephwashington2096]

Dennis Townsend ever

[@MarkyOosterveen]

I know this was years ago but come on man. he composed that whole solo on his own. That just shows you how musical he is. I don't think you understand because you never were in high school band.

[@natoparadox5884]

IDK why the hell do they have the Heisman trophy, or MVP awards?

[@StringsofMartyr]

I lolled at this.

[@sixfournineeighttwo]

& its sounds almost exactly like the '03 one too

[@ddavisjr128]

well it kinda is from that solo but he just added more to that lick and added it to this one from what it sounds like

[@walkover1]

@iLuVsNaRe you have the reasoooooooon

[@thealmightydollar5]

To the 5 dislikers, please comment and tell us why you would dislike this.

[@FluffMuffTater]

@ether11111 He's my drum instructor, so I'll do so

[@ridub]

breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 4th meal

[@ecu10]

3:47. Pack your $#!+ and start getting excited.

[@MATTxMAN032]

uugghhh, i love thos rim clicks at 1:30....awesome

[@aznpwr2]

his last year was 2006. he techs at bluecoats now.

[@ether11111]

Someone needs to contact Tim and tell him to try shownig his ability on America's Got Talent.

[@BlueDevilsFreak42]

yes tim jackson put a lot of chili pepper songs in his solos.

[@ssserani]

@386niggah lol actually, i figured it out like the day after i posted that comment. its kinda like you flick it forward at just the right angle and it just comes back to your hand

[@Mr.Nichan]

that highest spock

[@ZXPA2]

Rims of Fire.

[@JBDrums.23]

idk. maybe. he moved to Arkansas, where i am for college

[@diabloguy]

ooooooo my gosh!!!!!

[@sixfournineeighttwo]

nah those are vega tenor sticks. ehy look like regular snare sticks but theyre a bit smaller & have a nylon tapered end to it made for the tenor drums

[@Tacobender111]

@chsbassdrummer Yea but he's staff for Bluecoats now

[@ssserani]

:27 anyone know how he does that viz?

[@mattchurchify]

He's a juggler AND a percussionist lol. WOW!

[@sixfournineeighttwo]

lol also part of his '04 solo sounds a bit like his '05 one

[@A7X6277]

00:53 Cool at 1:52 its the guitar part to "Cant Stop" by Red Hot Chili Peppers

[@DrummerFL19]

i just noticed, but he can play traditional off his right hand haha thats pretty cool

[@VoluptuousCO]

I think if God wanted to play tenors, it would sound just like this!

[@leftshoe0]

@HotPotatoFeYou have to write something. You can't go up there with no sheet music. Even if its 30 seconds of a 4 min peice

[@borocasanovo]

@A7X6277 thats weird u picked on that. cool

[@Luigifan14]

0:50 through 2:02 is such a cool sounding part. :D

[@JBDrums.23]

seriously chrissanders07 did. the Blue Devils Snare tech helps out at his college.

[@jincyquones]

Brain....melted..... uhh....

[@jimmytango]

cant stop... lol

[@MusicisMYlife210]

This is the only I&E that he didnt drop a stick, which honestly in my opinion doesnt matter, but the reason i pointed it out is because i saw colby beers vid from '04 and there were i think two people that said COlby shouldve won over Tim, and i just thought i would ask the general public, because tim deserved first this year ha ha hands down

[@algz_beats]

@leftshoe0 Im with HotPotatoFever, you dont have to write music then give it to the judge or have to write just to say its on paper. Why would any of them bring up sheet music anyways? This isnt a high school competition. And then would they have the time to bring it all out anyways?

[@cantfindmyfox]

skills

[@etano213]

eargasm

[@ssserani]

@Drumfun1401 i second that... tim jackson is god's reincarnation

[@etano213]

@amkluver12 i think it sounds like a new red hot chilli pepers song

[@tomhatestomatoes]

I see this video and go "YEAH I WANNA PRACTICE AND BE LIKE THIS SOME DAY" ... then i see those singles at about 2:56 and lose all hope.

[@thirdeyehole]

Was that melody part he started playing at 0:49 Can't Stop ny The Red Red Hot Chili Peppers? :O

[@kylegordonmusic]

What is happening at 1:09

[@spstarks]

did he win

[@issy23s]

Some people are going too extreme, I mean, he didn't do everthing to perfection. He sometimes beats awkwardly, but his so natural arm flow fills in gaps. He is precisely God, though.

[@notar3alacc0unt]

... cool story bro

[@soccerdrummer13]

lotr reference?

[@NiceWatchMiss]

Imagine what he's playing in 2012..

[@keyhead101]

he didnt flip the stick it bounce back from the rebound

[@unusuallynormal231]

do they get sheet music from this somewhere or do they write this themselves?

[@saludadrummer777]

what he can do with one hand, some of our tenors cant even do together, haha

[@jactom123]

what song. i need to know

[@azurezaber]

1:40 OMG he did a free-hand

[@dannyswearinhisheart]

@mrnickbeyer sounds like can't stop by the red hot chili peppers hahah

[@IAmTheNietzsche]

This is insane in a strangely subdued way

[@leftshoe0]

@Ace0wnzSpades For I&E you have to write the music. Not like you can go up there and make shit up for 2-4 mins

[@wood70294]

4 people are addicted to the shindig.

[@Acos0712]

lmao that was a good one :)

[@neomayer]

rims? what are those???

[@jaimiemunt]

4 people are nuts !!!...when they hear "drumsticks" they probably think of chicken

[@ManiGotti]

wrist action is suomethin serious

[@sharkseatchainmail]

[@Drumfun1401]
