Africa Hot Snare Solo

[sangragganguli]

This doesn't look that hard.

[kbak3r995]

@sangragganguli The rhythms aren't hard, the solo is based off of the visuals. Which happen to be utterly ridiculous,

[Thegoodmusicianguy]

is this the whole solo?

[nelfam4]

@Thegoodmusicianguy No



[fuqak47]

Nice

[Xaoteam]

ghost flams!

[masonthedrummer7]

Cool!

[mysteryrockssssssss]

ehh

[euphoniummharon007]

the robot man on vic firth's snare rudiments!

[kisstheband]

what is a free floating snare?

[oniperson]

for some reason i like the sound of that snare

[wsrb23]

this solo is actually pretty crappy playing wise its a tough solo but its too flashing needs to be more like kitchen sink or something which is more chop intended plus it dosnt link together that well which the main reasong it sounds like crap

[kisstheband]

i think i know what piece you are talking about. it wouldnt happen to be called wooden sink would it. we played that music as audition music for my schools drum line

[wsrb23]

na its actually calld "and the kitchen sink" by edward freytag

[JumpShotDude]

@wsrb23 you just called one of the best rudimental drummers in the world crap... you're a fucking idiot!

[JumpShotDude]

@wsrb23 it sounded like crap because of the video quality not because of his playing

[bhsdrummer33]

wow my friend did this solo last year.

and he wore a little sumbro during his perf.

haha.

i thought it was pretty good.

[chaoticerion]

[Kiran386]

[batmandrummer39]

oh how i hate those inverts ahhhh!!!!!

[ManOfSteel607]

Interesting; I've seen Dr. Wooton perform this solo several times, I kinda hate that the ending part isn't on here. Somebody ought to try and find a video of him doing "The Downfall of Paris" or "Connecticut Halftime" on one of the old Cooperman rope tension drums...that, friends, is real drumming.

[johnwooton]

I'll take mediocre. That means I am better than half the world! That video was shot in 1993 and is still available through Row Loff Productions along with several other solos. I am not that old... 45. Still play and give lots of clinics. Keep it positive!

[AlphaFalconX]

Wow!! It's John Wooten! The snare captain if playing Africa Hot this year for Solo & Ensemble

[Br0k3M3xican]

u are sooo not john wooton!!!

[drmking16]

Mediocre player at best you need to study up Dr. Wooton is not mediocre by no means he is my hero.

[viridian7]

A Pearl Free-floater in '83? Did they have them back then? He looks a little ackward with tricks, but rudimental playing really doesn't get much cleaner than that. I once saw him demonstrate the sounds of tenors for a crowd by playing simple descending triplets, and the crowd actually started cheering, it was so clean and perfect.

[PandemoniumSteelBand]

This is John Wooton. I would guess this video dates to about 1982 or 83. Rich is a great player, but John is the man.

[atlvalet]

He's like Rich Viano, except not as good, with the whole tapping the stick with his hand.

[giulzcava]

i have been looking for this video on youtube for ever. thanks for putting it up. is this Jon Whitlock? or marty hurley way back in the day?

[Littledrummaboi]

What the hell!!!! Mediocre! Are you on something bro bc u r dillusional!

[drummermanrick]

Mediocre player at best

[dontcommentme]

F-U!!!

He Wrote the Damn Pice! He is a ledgend.

[guitarplayeraustin]

Wow dude thats a killer trick that you did when you didnt hold the drum stick. but the qualyity of the vidio sucked.

[elementkid91395]

good style and everything, but the sound f the snae really stinks

[drummermanrick]

I wish Wooton played tempos other than 120.

[hoods333]

wow he might be better than steve Smith

[johnwooton]

Better than Steve Smith?! Wow, thanks, but I don't believe you.

[Quadz2k]

You are correct. It's him.

[soundquality]

looks like john wooten ( marched Phantom Regiment in the 80's)

[drfunk1975]

Yeah, it's him, he wrote the piece.

[bluetizz34]

it is wooton...

[acidpool]

dood! u r the best drummer in the world! I love rudiments!
