[flightman69]

thas really good man. congrats on winning the contest..

[Lobgigkiogog]

rofl!!! so easy to play :D:D:D

[MitcheyMouse6990]

gay

[monsieurtechnical]

That is such awesome drumming. I like the 'coca cola' fills at the very end. I loved the entire performance. Congratulations on your win as well.

[math1st]

well the song is nice, but .. can you really a contest with this performance ? ( im not saying that wasnt a good performance, just saying it wasnt that impressive to win a contest )

[Nickk388]

@math1st looks like you were wrong because he did win. So maybe you should open up years ears (not saying that to be mean or anything but its just that it WAS a good performance so obviously your not a drummer or just dont know music idk which one) but i AM a drummer and have been for 10 years and that was a VERY good performance.

[alienhunter2240]

@Nickk388 i agree

[groundhoglxi]

I never get tired of watching this!

[quadbassblaster]

dude.,what make are your elec cymbals ? is that a china on ur right or just an inverted cymbal ? safe !

[Ukupois93]

That 2:27 was kickass, that flip was done like by the way

[dixintex]

you rock!

[rowanwolf33]

congrats on winning the contest. i bet that new kit was pretty sweet :)

[jpbutterfly7]

I liked this video so well that I have watched it several times. Great drummer! Great song!

[imaNyISLANDER]

lol i farted during this video and it sounded ten times better then this

[jkeep31895]

??? haha

[hickster68]

AWESOME!! I think you were great!

[emeraldpilgrim]

Nice job, and great timing. The little flip at 2:27 cracked me up. Like you had nothing else going on, you just gave a little toss --and caught it!! If that was me I'd have probably poked my eye out! Cool performance.

[thecernal]

pritty good nice kit

[WeDareToBeStupid13]

loosen cymbals

[pauljeckel]

1:26 is best

[SwiftFinch]

Needs more cowbell.

[Ayorhin]

lol! vid was awesome but that makes me chuckle

[UltraSWG]

I got a fever. And the only prescription, is more cowbell.

[DreamScape1229]

Very well done, in my option you won over Usernamewitheld because you have better a better timing overall, and you're a lot of fun to watch ^_^

[zadrum15]

what kind are they?

[Killerhurts1337]

they just look like cymbals with pickups to me. There's plenty of different kinds though. This whole kit is electric it looks like.

[TNHRocks]

The entire kit is Hart Dynamics being run by a Roland TD-20

[Killerhurts1337]

kewl, been trying to pickup a set for myself. :)

[zadrum15]

those are weird cymbals

[G1HotElephant]

WTF He sucks.

[portney66]

good grove

[antononly]

apparently usernamewithheld isn't better since he won...

[54spiritedwill54]

awesome job man, love the break down at around 2 mins!

[mikeMX3000]

lol wizards in winter is real fun to put a beat to.

[guzzino13]

wowowo superb you is the best wooooooooo^.^

[CaptV1de0]

what kind of drums are those? how much were they?

[xdrumkingxx]

usernamewitheld is sooo much better i have no idea how this 1 won

[imamusician16]

excellent job! the only thing that i'd change, though, is the snare sound. it doesn't really match up with the rest of the set or song. great video!

[xdrumkingxx]

very good =) i have a drum set also and i tryin 2 learn this same song

[Cyberbob182]

It's an easy song (for drums only) but it one of the best of the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The difficulty doesn't always make the beauty!

[twang7888]

this, is, good!

[log64tothebaseof4]

This is very easy and I'm not kidding! If you're inquisitive to learn this song, its possible! He's just only using simple drum patterns and a little bit of variations to make it more dyncamic. Love it!

[TNHRocks]

You're right, it's an easy and fun song to play.I had only practiced it 5 or 6 times before doing the video. I have added a few more things in like a gong and splash hits but I like to keep things simple.

[TrinDawg37]

@TNHRocks, you're right. There's NOTHING wrong with keeping it simple. I'm a bass player of 15 years, and I AM NOT ASHAMED to say that I'm a pocket player. I keep it simple and never "busy up" a song. I let the guitars do that....my job as part of the rhythm section is to create the "groove" and keep it going to lay down that cushion for the lead instruments. Nice playing, and keep up the good work!!

[crissMFangel]

dude stfu u wrote this in like 50 other TSO drum video contests

[BrutalDrumPrimate]

yes it is "easy", I just saw them in concert and almost thought it was too simple. but the point is to keep the beat, make it organized. the drummer got to do a full drum solo and it was the hardest shit in the world to play

[neeterxxi]

Dang....that's--awesome! I think I may even like it more than the drums on the original!  I wouldn't mind having an mp3 of this myself. :)

[groundhoglxi]

beautiful job!

[FEDX93]

you are awesome! You rocked with the neat tricks, etc you threw in there! Awesome. Got an MP3?

[TNHRocks]

LOL.....

[aipnai]

Awesome job keeping it clean : )

I loved the way you kept it simple and excellent.. bringing out the other instruments and their runs as opposed to filling everywhere and overpowering the composition.

Congrats!!

[TNHRocks]

Thanks, It was a year ago that I posted this video.

[plottluvr07]

Dude....WOW.

[paintballdrew]

hero129, i'd like to see u win the contest!

[adsfsdfsdf]

He did win. You can go to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra site and see for yourself. This was the winner.

Well done by the way.

[paintballdrew]

i was directing it to hero129...?

[adsfsdfsdf]

Touché, shows how much I read.

[BlackDog17]

Riiiiiight. He sucked so bad that TSO named him the winner of their drum contest. Damn I'm glad I'm not that dude. I'd have to go kill myself or something.

[leeeeet1325649]

awesome job man, love the break down at around 2 mins!

[thr33n1l13]

TNHRocks you did a great job!

hero129 - you wouldn't know talent if it slapped you in the face, save your comments for the videos I am sure you like most... people lighting farts, and two girls and one cup.

[djburgy]

Awesome!! Great job!! Best of luck with your amazing talent! Loved it!

[th25tina]

Awesome...beautiful job!!!!

[spikeguy99]

[wvyhtomit]

[PiOfFive]

[makanofuji]

Hey Clyde, can I have your old drum set?

[stek2]

whoa, you rock the drums.

[kcfraser]

You nailed it man, great, great job.

[itachisasuke22]

nice drumset i wish i could get me one of those...

[drumdabump]

noob

[dudewithfood12345]

Hey, congratulations on winning!

I think Jeff Plate and John O. Reilly would be proud!

[NZKartsport]

Awesome drumming, :o your name is my name! :P

[dontbsilly]

ZOWIE!!! I am totally impressed! I hope you won! Very nicely done!

[badasslilgti]

Just watched all the contestants, you nailed the timing, and sound better than everyone. If you didn't win, I'd be disappointed.

[Detroyer666]

This guy should be playing in a band.Hes good....

[swander57]

he did great

[blargh81]

This was okay, but his us of cymbols was off, especially in the first roll he did with them all. It didn't fit the tune. Otherwise not so bad, but not 100% either. 3 stars, max.

[fearlessmitchrocks]

Unbelievable.  You sure you are not the Drummmer on TSO?? WTG!!

[pawel2187]

niezła gra!!!

[McStuffles]

Thx man! You have no idea how I feel good of hearing it from you!

Doing the video was a bit hard work, now I am sure it wasn't in vain!

[McStuffles]

I mixed in a video all the contest winners playing together (including this one)! Check it out on my profile (the only video I had posted)

[TNHRocks]

Great Job on the video you put together!!

[jverz]

So are they going to get all the winners together with their new toys and play this song?

[Goshyouidiot]

I think you have won because you have an incredible sense of time(tightness). Great work!

[geriols]

YES! I think it's time to do it again with those awesome pearl drums! Let's set a date!!

[mrmojorisin365]

Seriously, I want to see you do this again with your new set!

[jeffmamola]

Congratulations!!! Great video!!

[weroranch]

congratulations dude!...now record a drum solo using your new drum kit ;) congtraz!

[brunogroove]

great timing, the song has to sound exactly like this!

[critsry]

ya that was pretty decent.

[HheartagramM91]

You are awesome!!!

[bballstarben14]

I can see why you won

[ladygrece]

All I can say is Wow. Talented and good looking too. Congrats on the win.

[vi0linfr3ak]

nice job... winner!

[Inteledge]

Not bad

[mmmmm4444]

veery nice solid prepormance. wish I could hear more

of your range of technique and style.

[gaaraisloved666]

Great Job!!! My friend Chris plays in TSO.

[maddrums62]

Hey THN in case no one said it here were all proud of you over in v-drum forum I guess too many td20 owners didnt want to post on how you did it with Hart gear.. you and Hart rock

The MADCHEF...

[TNHRocks]

Thanks man!!

[ventsintheedge]

Good job dude !!!

[aznmore]

very very very nicely played

[myoneandonly89]

Absolutely wicked! I agree with Dorianslover, your drumming on here is even better than the original (not to bash my beloved Wizards in Winter, but nonetheless). A prize well earned!!!

[Dorianslover]

Wow. I love your drumming on this track more than i do the original! it's simply amazing. Congrats on the win!

[cnstble553]

Congratulations on a much deserved win. I'm really impressed.

[BetterAngels]

Congratulations, and rock on!

[dawnmarieb]

Congratulations! Well deserved!

[drpkckmurphys7]

Congrat!

[mickeydougal]

Congratulations and an electronic pat on the back to you! You definitely have the audio mix right. It sounds great, and looks good too. Enjoy that new kit. Rock on.

[davepjcx]

Congrats on the win, the best entry for sure!

[vdrumrnwv]

From one V-Drummer to another, congratulations Clyde! Great job! Good luck to you in your future! You captured the tonal quality that I was trying to accomplish but I didn't have a camera with an audio input. Keep on rockin'!

[TNHRocks]

I didnt want to enter unless I could get the sound right. My wifes aunt went out and bought the camera just for the mic input, I have them to thank most of all!

[TNHRocks]

I would like to thank everybody who voted for me, this was a great contest and a lot of fun!

Clyde

[mysterygirl2008]

Congratulations on the win!

[mackey41]

man that awsesome wat is the name of that song u are playing

[mysterygirl2008]

The song is Wizards in Winter by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO).

[mackey41]

ok thanks

[markolsz]

I have been watching the contest for over a month and I have to say this is the best of the drum entries. I like the sleigh bells, a nice touch. Overall, the balance, tempo and synchronization to the original track is right on. This is like listening to a CD track from the band. All the entries have their strong points and I congratulate them all, but this is my choice for the best of all. Superbly done Clyde!!! Good luck in the contest

[MysterEEE]

Great playing- pretty damn solid

[repollard]

Absolutely the best one I've seen so far!! Good Luck!!

[despairshaq34]

cymbals sound great... what kind are they

[TNHRocks]

Hart Dynamics

[WhisperGardener]

Well played, good luck in the contest.

[BrandiRevers]

one of the best, if not the best, rums entry i have heard listening to these!!! great job!

[rosalinemmagee]

PS Bongo type drums in middle of song, are awesome

[rosalinemmagee]

Wow What a great video. The sound was excellent. Loved the bells. Perfect for a winter song.

[mickeydougal]

Great job! The others are right, the audio is excellent. I gave you a 4, even though I am competing against you.

Don't you love electronic drums for recording purposes? They give the best sound quality.

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

Peace, out...

[TNHRocks]

I use the E's for gigging also, I like the video editing you did good luck in the contest!

[BetterAngels]

Excellent sound! Good luck on the contest!!

[geriols]

P.S. I really like the sleigh bells - awesome!

[davepjcx]

A+, excellent sound and video performance.

[jesselego]

No fluff here, and perfect sound quality, really know how to bring down the house...

Nice camera shooting too!

[geriols]

Wow! I had to watch this one three times!! Best I've seen so far!!

[ame912]

this is awesome, he is doing a great job, haven't seen so good in a long time

[alash25]

This is absolutely the BEST video in this contest!!!! It has the best sound and video!!!!
