2004 DCI I&E Makana Sylva (Blue Devils) snare solo

[sawfish33]

2:09 was interesting

[gfaithw]

Same dude that plays RAM 90!!! I seen the moeller tech., Some strong beach, and paralleled rhythms see 1:02...

[drumiestdrummer]

nothing boring about some push pull rolls XD

[5drum5]

Dci snare drumming has gotten so far from where it needs to be.

[dlinekidd93]

his sounds quality seems sub-par to other blue devils player. but that may just b the video.

[Littledrummaboi]

i don't like how he plays...

[bambam32295]

Is he left handed?he seems to be ore comfortable with his left.

[MilknCookies414]

he looks like an orc from warcraft...lol

[DanteLuvBD]

yes my lord. lol

[Nilephan666]

Wow these blue devil guys are insane...

[DriLLFreAK100]

not really fun but the technique is very good

[irishknightt]

hahaha he made things up as he went...

[GP3PocketSnare]

I like the technique he is using. It looks like it flows very well with his playing.

[psphanatic]

Doesn't look like he's having much fun... Still awesome though.

[TankerBoy11]

2:03

how in the world do you do that

[VelvetKnights09]

watch rcc 06, he does it even faster

[sumperson2323]

I'm learning how to do it. It's like a double-stroke 'open/close' concept, except you do it continuously.

[DrumlineArchives]

Watch the SCV audition video (you can buy it on tapspace). The push pull concept is explained there. A large portion of SCV's technique this year is based on that concept.

[DrumlineArchives]

That was meant to be a reply to TankerBoy, by the way.

[owaaaa984]

im pretty sure he's using the push pull method. you can find videos on how to do it all over the youtube.

[mrTooKanSam]

Look up moeller technique, or Push pull

[potpie2004]

what he is doing is called the molar. Its tripilets on one hands and if you do it fast enough its a roll

[yeahyeahyeahyeahya]

He's not playing Moeller it's push-pull.

[wvhsdrumline53]

@potpie2004 not moeller its push-pull homie...scv style

[yeahyeahyeahyeahya]

Are the snares even on?

[mrpainless45]

yeah, 2004 bd snares were as dry as a damn desert.

[yeahyeahyeahyeahya]

Honestly lol.

[snaredice]

bad ass chops

[MPROKOP27]

Amazing!

[cgoldenstein33]

I love his face when he does those push-pull strokes... Awesome.

[wtfover77]

Makana, you rock man.

[thekiller989]

i like the sound quality from the drums that BD used in 04, but those buzz rolls sound like a tree going thru a sawmill.

[rayl9]

good solo, but it's kind of boring compared to Ivan Pacheco or Nico Jasniewicz in 2004. I mean Im not saying I can play it or anything.

[AdamHolmez]

ya you got a good point.

[TIMEDISORT]

@rayl9 I think it's because he doesn't show as much emotion.

[rayl9]

@TIMEDISORT agreed. Great player though

[sickeningsplat]

It seems like he improvised it...but sweet one-handed roll nonetheless.

[madjical]

yeah, most people have a improvised part in their solos

[rayl9]

wow, I didn't know that...I thought it wouldnt be allowed.

[madjical]

yeah, its not like they have to turn in music that they write

[littlephoenix1115]

not a one handed roll... just some pushpull stroke...

[comptonbrotha]

2:15 stolen from Niko Jasniewicz?

[XxMarchingSnarexX]

lol maybe, or Niko might've stole it from him

[1OOYears]

Cool, what place did he get?

[rayl9]

uhhh....I haven't been in DCI, but I'm a drummer and drum789, um, buzz rolls are not easy play cleanly unless you practice like a lot. Mine's still not clean. So, ya know, just sayin.

[drumrguy]

Enough hertas?

[SDHSdrummer]

you can never have enough hertas

[drum789]

amazing. but many percussionist do buzz rolls in competions. and im kinda getting tired of the buzz roll. and its the easiest to do!

[Jerahmeel]

Have you been in DCI??

Noppeee...
