Nick Ross Young Drummer of the Year 2009 solo

[Charlestonthedrummer]

Don't you mean Rick Ross?

[jamiequinlan]

Hmm. Needs a bit more beat and stuff. Its like just full on loud bangage, which im down with, but i reckon he should add something other than rock into this.

[DontLikeBandsIHate]

in a drum competiton, i think its weak to use a double pedal. that being said, i reckon this kid pulled it off.

[joe13drummer]

it makes me laugh how jealous people can get when they hear somone better than them play, i mean you wouldnt hear the likes of buddy rich, jojo mayor or steve gadd commenting on here to dis this guy. grow up and improve your playing instead of putting down others to make yourself feel good.

[Bentoss612]

someone needs to take this kid back to school

[jsalljr]

Good job blowin' shit up!!! You had a little over 2 minutes and I thought you great.... So what if you repeated certain phrases, you kicked ass and played fucking hard...Besides 2 minutes hardly enough time to display your whole vocabulary!!

[09allanp]

[grindthedrum666]

dfgh

[xParanoid13]

that was very disappointing. that's they young drummer of 09? damnnn.

not hating on this kid he's good, but i think that he should have played much better/difficult things to show off his title.

[diffendar]

@xParanoid13 think this guy was runner up, I believe the winner was Richard Raynor

[MrPocketGroover]

wheres the groove, your not a drummer if you cant groove and have no feel,  its just notes jumbled together.

[petercaveney17]

he's not even that good D:

[petercaveney17]

wow, he's not even that good D:

[jccapfair]

double bass is cheating? wow clearly you're not a dummer oneilddrummer

[sootystew]

cmon give the kid a brake. that was some display of speed and technique. oneilldrummer, open ure mind man, double bass is not cheating, it doesnt suit me particularly, but if it suits ones style, why not? also, the kid was nervous, and what many guys here are asking is a musicality which was hardly the point of the event itself. altho its hard to disagree, it lacked musicality.

[wrwales]

ok a 1 min and a hald intro was fuckin stupid and the drumming meh i dont much care for it its not how fast you can hit the drums it just has to sound good

[lurchm]

the sound is shit, good drum tho

[oneillddrummer]

doublr bass is good but i really think its cheating

[andycrowder]

ok but no groove just fast toms and double bass. i would of liked to of heard beats!

[cahill303]

[Skankmaster90]

[gavinmart]

Could you email me on MySpace or YouTube please.

[johnrmilton]

The only downside was your girlfriend sitting behind me and screaming in my ear. Doctor said time is a great healer though.

Best of luck
