  • I think he likes LA...

  • this is my cousin =)

  • Awesome

  • whats the song playing while they are interviewing him at the Beginning? :0

  • Funky, Gospel, Latin, Jazzy, R&B, it's like a melt of the most tastylicious styles of drumming, Just Awesome.

  • Wow every time I watch this video, it just inspires me and gives me the chills! Just amazing!

  • Cowbell needed to be intermittent on some of the rolls. it needed more vibe-colors, but it was killer.

  • @jangel2771..this is Daniel Rodriguez the 2006 drum off winner.. I am a child of God and he has blessed me with so much in my life.. So u can stop with your "Repent" stuff.. Thank u. I serve the lord Jesus christ.

  • Holy hell he is good. I only been playin for 7 years but if i even get half as good as he is ill be gratefull n jam in hell

  • If I get that good after 17 years, I will consider myself lucky...

  • 4:38 i can do that... just.

  • Awesome! I like the way he uses a lot of dynamics in his soloing.

  • this guy is better than 1/3 of the famous drummers.

  • Single pedal takes skill.

  • @ZackLikesCheese he's using double pedal...

    

  • very very nice and humble drummer :)

  • hes 22? wow he looks old 

  • クソ素晴らしい!

  • fuc'kin awosome

  • NEEDS MORE COWBELL

  • I love how there was no real stick tricks....just grooving on the drums. That shows real talent.

  • @MrLiverpooldrummer That's what I was thinking.....wish they were all like that.

  • he will be in charlotte performing with the VKC BAND JUNE 10TH!

  • whats the name of the song THAT IS PLAYING AT THE BEGINING????

  • definition of a successful drummer is one who can play a solo and make you wanna dance... I just danced... AND JIZZED! lol amazing solo!

  • I was mindblown when he finally got that groove goin, Im lookin forward to see where his drumming takes him in life

  • one of the few drum off champs that stays in time through out the entire performance. love it.

  • I've met a lot of drummers with really tight rhythm, and a lot of drummers with a lot of style. Finding one that has both is nearly impossible.

  • love the afro-cuban 6 8

  • Danny is angel; victor velez son.We use to play in church back in the day in yogi bear together. U have grown increasingly in music. God bless u and ur talent. GOD. IS GOOD. I love u cuz..

  • whats the deal with all the cowbells?

  • this guy has so much groove ive gone full circle from being amazed to being pissed right off.

  • 24 years playing drums and I can tell you this guy is good. Its not about pulling off triplets or drum fills, its about CHOPS, Daniel has em in spades and then some. There is a melodic style that flows with his snap rolls and drum fills that are tasty. He pulls em off and stays in tempo. His sense of timing is dead on and Daniel would probably be a great session drummer in the studio. Excellent work

  • @brianmann01 God bless u Brian.. thank u for them kind words,,

    

  • has to be one of the smoothest sounding cleanest best tuned kits and and playing ive seen since mike johnston...Ive been playing 15 years and this guys got an amazing technique

  • @DRod06DrumChamp god bless brother. is this really you?and god is good bro. Im glad that one of gods chose people won the drum off and I glorify god. praise god.

  • boy eric moore is killing you sorry you can not touch him sorry........

  • @daddylong46 its all good tho we r all ment to be different..

  • @daddylong46 You are not realistic are you. Daniel is a Latin drummer. He can play every beat there is cuz he's Latin. Your boy can't . Trust me. I'm a session player.

  • @metalgrande95 guns are drawn by the roots..if u didnt know..wikked jam

  • alvaro lopez family?

  • one word, beautiful solo! i like the the way he entered the solo! its a very different style he did to start a solo!

  • Wow, Amazing druming

  • I'm not surprised that he's great at drumming... it's probably his exercise routine lol

  • he has diffrent styles check out my drum videos

  • ridiculously amazing talent.... i dont know how he keeps all those beats so perfect and clear- i am EXTREMELY impressed, WOW. im so happy someone recommended this video to me!

  • his manboobs jiggle lol

  • He used to drum for a pastor I know and watching him play dropped my jaw and i'm really good but dude is on another level!

  • that thing he starts playing at 4:26 is soo rad

  • @Spleenfome yeeeeeeees

  • i cant imagine how much fucking time it would take to be this good.

  • @stinky052 17 years

  • Why does the announcer at the end yell, "JOSHHH!!!!" when his name is Daniel?

  • Great Vid.

  • her that dennis chambers in that solo

  • This guy just came to my church today and we had a major jam session with him!! it was amazing!!

  • Amazing skill :) god bless!

  • Bonzo1989... Hey man you say that you've been playing drums for 7 years and u can do what I do so win drum off this year for 2010... See how easy it is buddy... Man it's so funny how people think it's that easy to pick up sticks and win a drumoff.. Lol

  • @dwdanjo12 actually picking up a pair a sticks and winning the drumoff was EXACTLY what Donnie Marple did. lol

  • @dwdanjo12 that just proves the drums are easier than guitar. that soooo many ppl can become decent drummers, but not everyone can become a guitarist. I do both...

  • danjo12 .i LOVE the i can do that guys. these players that win these guitar center drum offs are drum beast. the future chambers, beauford, gadds, of drums. and people only hate on them because they cant wrap their mind around the alternate stickings, playing in front or behind the beat, or ANY of the chops that this guy has CLEARLY mastered. so letem hate danjo.. bottom line is the only people that will ever hear them play are the people that are unfortunate enough to live next door to them

  • @dwdanjo12 i just hate the fact that everybody thinks its so easy to play drums, its by far the most complicated instrument out there not only mentally but physically, ive benn playin 8 years now and i still have so much to learn its ridiculous

  • @dwdanjo12 repent jesus loves you.

  • the only reason why i disliked this is because hes been playing for 17 years....and i can do everything he has done here....and ive been playing for 7.....when ive been playing for 17 years...in 10 years....i dont even know lol

  • @bonzo1989 It's one thing to play what someone else has come up with, it's a whole different thing to be able to come up with those licks

  • @sonorpaiste702 i come up with new licks every hour son.

  • Does anybody know exactly where and when this event took place, how many drummers entered, how long it lasted and what first prize was????

  • Wow it's great to see that people still checks out this video.. Cool..

  • i want that kit

  • i meet that guy today at sam ash his dad is a bad ass bass player

  • Great DRumming!! What is this dude doing now?

  • I've never seen a fat drummer before

  • @ihuml1 Dennis Chambers, Carter Beauford...

  • @ihuml1 Not fat, just well built...and oh yea, what about...Dennis Chambers, Carter Beauford, Aaron Spears...

  • @ihuml1 And I'm sure he can drum a lot better than your skinny ass.

  • Rosher, dude, ive been playing guitar for a good 5-6 years, and ive always played around with drums, but I have decent experiance at both, thier both very difficult instruments to master, and I doubt anyone will ever truly "master" either, but I would have to say that it would be a guitarist to do it first, a guitar has 6-12 strings and 22-24 frets for each string, drums hane no end, you can try different sizes, different symbols, drums are endless, i would say it takes longer to master drumming

  • @Drock1994 Wow a guitarist who understands hahah, most people i talk to are like what are you talking about dude they are all the same thing but they dont understand that each different drum or cymbal is a whole different instrument in its self.

  • I think I just jizzed my pants!!!

  • lol

  • needs more cowbell.

  • The first non-metal drummer that I enjoy listening to.

  • this dude is awesome i love his chops... and while techincally he's not the best drummer i've ever seen (there a prodigy kid at my school who can play like this).. i would hire him over a lot of drummers out there because he as such an unbelievable groove

  • Rosher22 bro let me tell u something bro... My name is Daniel Rodriguez and I'm the dude that won the 2006 GC drum off ... It does Not take months to do what I do... And yes u can master this instrument but it can take u years... I'm still learning how to master this instrument and I'm far from it....mine u I won out of 4,000 drummers from around the world...

  • whatever the song is at the beginning when his talking its sick

  • @captaincoconut27 its the roots or jurassic 5, or something i know it... its on the tip of my tongue, its kind of a ramble track on one their albulms... this is an instrumental...

  • @arielsfish thanks rasta

  • @captaincoconut27Guns are Drawn by The Roots

  • one of my favorite solos!!!

  • amazing

  • This is so original...I love it

  • i wonder what kind of china he is using

  • he said Steve Nash!!!

  • IMO best footwork of any Guitar Center Drumoff vids I've seen, nice job man

  • brilliant

  • Haha that's Danny. It's a blessing knowing him and whoohoo! Nice he sure is!!!

  • Dude definetely listens and studies Weckl. You could just about close your eyes(at certain parts) and believe it was Weckl playing.

  • Best drummers r latin.

  • Great fundamentals, flexibility, talent, ability to change time rythms and to syncopate them as well. But most of all, LOVE the way you got into it. No matter what you were playing, you were enjoying it and feeding off what you were creating, One of the many beautiful consequences music offers... i like the Latin grooves in there best. :-). Great Job - Keep Drumming.

  • hell yea for big drummers

  • @sonofdisaster9891 VINNIE PAUL!!!

  • awesome

  • Check out my blazing drum video's!!!!!

  • --And that kit sounds amazing! Not bad for it just being a Yamaha Stage Custom. See? You don't have to spend a ton of money to get a good sounding kit...

  • Funny I detect a ton of soul, a ton of pocket, and its dripping with groove. But what would I know? I've only been playing for 20 years, so I'm still new to this drumming thing.

  • 6/5 stars

  • This drum-off finals only shows the best of the best. Those guys have studied really hard for 15, 20 years to get there. AND are REALLY talented as musicians. Being a musician is often a shitty job with no money and no recognition. These guys really deserve the prize for their hard work. I'm a (fair) drummer myself but nothing compared to this guy. I wish I had his skill but I don't have what it takes to study as hard as he probably did. So... it's fair! You rock man!

  • @ imakery... i have found that when people talk other people down its because they have low self esteem and it makes them feel better to rip on other people.... Jackass

  • not true actually the reason i ripped on alejandroV09 is because hes saying Daniel has no groove, which he really does. I'm just putting him in his place.

  • i have found when people say someone plays with no soul, its just a way for them to to feel better about how shitty they are because they can only play basic rock grooves so they say they play with "soul." Go fuck yourself

  • @imakery haha or they just dont understand the complexity like a bunch of fools

  • @imakery yesterday i say that to a friend xd

  • @imakery even basic rock grooves can have soul

  • His Samba @ 3:36 is sick...can't forget the songo either.

  • Hey all,

    Check out my videos and let me know what you think.

    JC

  • He's got those latin rhythms down, put him on timbales, sound like Puente

  • this guy is SOLID. Very unique style! I love the cowbell!

  • go big D. my cuzin is a sick ass drummer. ahhh i love when he plays!

  • Tiiiight. I like this guys feel!

  • doesnt victor wooten play the bass?

  • I know what you mean. Like, sure, solo drummers can play complex beats, but unless they can play well with a band, there's really no point.
