[OldSchoolLovin15]

and that's why we still have your high school award of musical excellence hanging in the percussion room at school.

[HowToScience]

does this guy realize he was the last I&E tenor champion of the century.

[Dinosawrroflcopter]

A Cavalier playing the Blue Devils ditty, I've seen it all. I can die a happy man now.

[penguinseth]

I like the babe ruth signature sticks

[bdysrf]

Love the technique, but the uniform is light years behind...

[KarnKrash]

Ditty is his bitch

[snareplaya15]

you know it's from the 90's when you hear a picture being taken, then you hear the person wined it back up.

[CardinalGlitch]

He used to play in cavaliers, then he took an arrow to the knee.

[poopmcdoopdoop]

@CardinalGlitch NO HE DIDN'T SHUT UP

[2011BANDIE]

[Sarge94187]

Fuckin' Swagger

[drksdofthmoon]

2:17 .....side shell taps..... foreshadowing the samurai show!

[maffau415]

one-handed ditty: the next great DCI warmup composition. coming to a corps near you. (as soon as someone figures out how to pull it off)

[liquorpink]

@maffau415 Nice! One-handed ditty is definitely impressive.

[marimbaholic]

Twelve people aren't nocturnal.

[aznpwn360]

[SnareForLife1995]

[slitherzpin]

[nitrogas8]

[TheClarkDrummer702]

Ditty is so awesome, it even appeared in a Cavalier Tenor solo.

[foxxxquad]

I love how he is still wearing his Aussie. ;D

[fasterwefall97]

He taught my line for a while this year before he left for his season, I march bass 2 in Lake Park High School's drumline. Really cool dude, along with Billy Spicer who also taught ith us. Amazing solo. :D

[TheIceTitan]

@fasterwefall97 For his season? Where does Spicer march now?

[T0MMY22]

he teaches my drumline from time to time. hes a really cool guy.

[chskcsmith]

9 blue devil players hated this video

[yapster5995]

[hello65100]

[ViceCity01]

Um...yeah.

[hybridassassin1991]

When it Matters Choose Big Firth

[doublebassheeltoe]

@hybridassassin1991 Which is funny because I'm pretty sure this is the only year The Cavaliers were ever with Vic. They were with Silverfox, then I know they took a year with Vic somewhere between 1998-2000, and then Jim Campbell helped found Innovative.

[sixfiguredrumer]

I heard ditty. But this solo is handsdown my all time favorite

[Mikeymike411]

those 8 dislikes are probably the people who didnt come in first place because they were dominated too bad

[onridedude]

gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[drummer4life53]

you can tell its 1999 because at 1:37 you can hear someone cranking up a camera.

[masterdrummer19]

"look out" lol haha

[iSeiver]

no not at all

[Isntthisalreadytaken]

Anyone else hearing Madison Scouts 94 @2:31?

[TheFX37]

8 people are Blue Devil tenor players

[yeahyeahyeahyeahya]

@TheFX37 lmfao!

[NextTooNothing]

2 parts of Ditty, that's beast!

[alexswystun]

ahahaXD my inspiration!



[unusuallynormal231]

Lol I so want to get giant drum sticks for my solo now.

[BurntToast355]

this is fuckin hilarious

[surf91flyer]

yah at :56 that was Ditty by Blue Devils

[OriginalMattyMatt]

a god at tenor is Bill Bachman

[1024haggard]

"look out"

[berne9]

@sawfish33 that would be because it was.

[sawfish33]

At :56 it sounded like "The Ditty" by Blue Devils just sayin

[crazyjared2]

@sawfish33 cause it was :P

[JasonNeyra]

I know nothing about Tenor competition but the older the competition was the better the people got lol

[chewlalumia]

good solo but i heard a ton of rims... not hating a little sloppy??? anyone?

[Thezekeful1]

you can drum with bats but can you drum with toothpicks...

[BlackSpeakersOhYeah]

@Thezekeful1 He can play with bats... But can he play with KFC Drumsticks..

[Trapmaker677]

@BlackSpeakersOhYeah He can play with bats, but can be play with chopsticks...?

[AtlanticPercussion]

@BlackSpeakersOhYeah yes he can play with KFC Drumsticks but can he Ice cream Drumsticks?

[teachingfeller]

@Thezekeful1 I don't know about toothpicks, but Gene Krupa did a great solo with matches... really.



[krazybowler123]

He was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Joeasy88]

whats weird, is that i only heard maybe 3 stick hits and like MAYBE 2 rims out of the 923,234,652,746 notes he played...i wish i played like jesus...

[JoeDolen]

the bambino would be proud...

[InsanityComedy]

I thought those sweeps were going to start a tornado. DAMN!

[clutch478]

Thumbs up if this deserves to beat Tim Jacksons 2006 solo.

[HYPERGETIC]

@clutch478 Its a great solo, but i think Tim Jackson 2006 was still better.

[Sw33ps]

@clutch478 no it doesnt...

[juliothedrummer]

@clutch478 nah fuck that

[juliothedrummer]

@clutch478 good fucking solo no doubt but tims 2006 was defiantly better and extremely original

[gshuda22]

@clutch478 Yes to the solo, no to the player.

[XylussN]

@clutch478 No, sir

[BullshitsMike]

Holy shit.

[0littledrummerboy0]

amazing!!!!



[KTMlover525]

hahahahahahahahaha this is crazy i was frekin out he is crazy with stick but insane with wiffle ball bats haha

[BSBINC1]

this what got me liking DCI so much

[HostBeat]

were do you get sticks like that..lol

[IPstixrawesume]

@HostBeat Wal-mart. Check out the toy section... you'll most likely find them where sports toys are... =]

[WhiteTrashRadioHead]

Gosh, he looks like a cartoon character from looney toons with wiffle bats. And yet....he plays like that. Some people need to share the freaking talent pool.

[bubbajk26]

WOW!!! SPEECHLESS!!!! :55 WAS AMAZING!!!!!

[SkylineDrumlineAZ]

At this point, he is almost too good to play anything else. There is almost no room for improvement. When you can sweep/windmill across every drum, THAT FAST, there is nothing you can't do on the tenors.

[gjfunkmasta]

@SkylineDrumlineAZ

wow.

ignorance.

"there is almost no room for improvement...when you can sweep/windmill across every drum, THAT FAST"

So you've forgotten about approximately half of the rudiments?

[emondy]

my favorite part about watching these guys play is that they move so fast that the fps on the camera can't even keep up. Cavies RULE!

[147leo147]

qpeste el ritmo?

[thatchasekid1]

now I see why the solo's called BATS out of hell. ha

[dlinekidd93]

this was tim jackson before there was a tim jackson solo champ.

[devinjr15]

He plays The Ditty at 58 its a cadence

[collinsanderzizaG]

him vs tim jackson vs bill bachman who would win?

[tyj0322]

@collinsanderzizaG bill freaking bachman

[pkim9]

@collinsanderzizaG seriously? Tim Jackson. Bill Bachman has major chops, but his age is getting to him.

[osterianio]

ditty. amazing

[Drag2hand]

Certain parts sound like flight of the bumble bee. But Spicer is Badass. I wish I was as good with mallets as he is with bats.

[drumfreakAlex]

This guy's our tenor tech now for Green Thunder Percussion in the WGI season

[Xelanoux]

Brian Spicer > Tim Jackson

[TheAequitas85]

@Xelanoux negative!!!

[packatac10]

@Xelanoux

uh, obviously. more like brian spice > all

[DasBullWy]

wacky... i like it..

[edward93cullen1993]

The Cavaliers Come to my High School Every year....im lucky

[ZachD8]

@edward93cullen1993

You are one lucky son of a.... nah i'm jk but thats really cool :P

[rbfjunkie]

That's one of the reasons the Cavaliers are as amazing as they are...however, I only got through the first 11 seconds before I had my first brain aneurysm.

[osterianio]

those stick are fucking ridiculous.

[osterianio]

*sticks

or wiffle bats maybe

[XxGhHEROxX]

fuckin hell his hands are machine guns

[pananadadrummer]

1:37 someone is eating some chips.

[ZachD8]

@pananadadrummer

lmfao

[mbmaccin555555]

@pananadadrummer Lol

[MrBigYum]

There Yeelloooww.

[RudimentalRighteous]

little drumsticks, then big (drumsticks), then little drumsticks again, either way i feel outdone.

[MarinVillalpando15]

dude, a battle between him and Tim Jackson would be hella epic =D

[InfernoX1994]

@MarinVillalpando15 bill bachman would call winners:)

[MarinVillalpando15]

Haha, I guess so dude. =]

[cskate445]

those must be the old-school magnums XD

[jijjaplease]

lol did he play ditty?

[asiandrummer15]

@jijjaplease sounded like it for a second.

[Snare10111]

ya for a little bit

[13KJA]

ya for a sec. both snare/bass parts between RH/LH

[crazydrummertcir]

ya this would take first place today. but him against tim jackson that would be a hard one

[dancenathandance]

"look out!"

hahahahahahahaha, i don't feel like this would take first today, but this was still reeeeeally good, and fucking hilarious.

[sargepup]

not bats...big bird's shins

[PeanutButterGorilla]

i wonder what the playing zones are like for those baseball bats :P

[Trevman049]

oh my god! i love it when he does all the drums to ditty at 0:55
