GUITAR CENTER DRUM OFF 2011 WINNER

[tckapral]

and i didnt play against this, fuck. next year im going balls out. plus the judges were douches.

[IronFabianSteel]

the judge in the red cap seems like douche btw

[IronFabianSteel]

HAHA the joy in his face when he plays!  his skill intimidated me but its kool. hes not all bored or serious looking when he played. 10/10 perfect

[JF8494]

I didn't know Dustin Diamond could drum

[swhsdrumlinekid]

Look at mario gettin it

[xsuperstomp]

Nice man, anyone saying your playing was boring or anything that is destructive clearly doesn't understand the joy of diversity which inherently breeds from our craft. I say good work and congratulations moving on the next phase! I get some flack since I am a "busy" player at times, but hey its what I do, ha.

[KingandQueens12]

Dude i love that part where you go from the snare and you copy it will your bass. I wish i was the good with my double bass like that but im more of drummer that is more skilled with my hands then feet

[mikemancan]

@KingandQueens12 thanks man, check out my channel for more fun kick stuff! mikemancan

[Tom6093]

@mikemancan - Awesome skill.  Do you play in a band ?

[amirpht]

the judge w the red cap, could see he was totally jealous!

[reddrum56]

u shouldn't be allowed to be a judge if your going to look that damn bored. only one guy was smiling

[eccentricorgan]

Check out this guys other videos and then say if he's good or not...He's got some good stuff!

[TheCaferocker]

Dude that sounds great man keep it up.

[dazeinband]

CHECK OUT MY VIDEOS FOR POLYRYTHMIC DRUM CORPS BULLSHIT!@!!!

[Vladdydrums]

were you ever in a marching band?

[mikemancan]

@Vladdydrums yes i played snare for 4 years and marched spirt of JSU drum core for a year, but currently play with a metal band called Deleo

[fairastits]

i was thinking about doing the drumoff but now(after watching this) iam not

[mikemancan]

@fairastits Man it has nothing to do with winning or not, its about the experience to play in front of people who are there to see you and only you. I would say do it to it man, have ablest and you'll enjoy every minute of it

[badmotorscooter1000]

Why do I get the feeling this guy played quads in high school. Very good with his hands, like the rythmic tom work. Not a tour type drummer but has got hand skills for sure.

[mikemancan]

@badmotorscooter1000 i appreciate it man, but i actually played snare in high school, i would of loved to play quads.

[Slame333]

Those toms well they sound like shit but u don't.

[mikemancan]

@Slame333 thanks a lot man.

[metalmessenger]

2011 winner overall?

[mikemancan]

@metalmessenger no just in my state

[sasquatchjones1]

@mikemancan What state are you representing?

[sasquatchjones1]

2:05 those are some nice sweeps.Good job. Are you going to be in it this year?

[KennyMennyKiller]

that's pretty freakin' good, man.

[dazeinband]

nice solo, am I the only one who used odd meters and polyrythms??? we can all groove...

[llcar0031]

i'm gonna be mad if this guy wins, because it sounds way to much like isaias gil

[drummer4life54]

i could tune the kit better then the judges and I've only been playing for a couple of years

[mikemancan]

@drummer4life54 i agreee

[warren4615]

....perhaps maybe a tad bit arrogant for your skill level -__-

[ZethYabut]

wow everybody has to watch this

[yisoonshin12]

Hmm... those toms sound a little like timbales... is it the camera?

[mikemancan]

@yisoonshin12 no the idiots that work at GC tuned them all wrong.

[yisoonshin12]

@mikemancan lol that sucks

[camelwars95]

@mikemancan why did the guys at gc tune them. you could tune them yourself.

[x7drummer]

one or two it doesn't matter. This guy is pretty sick on the drums..

[swhsdrumlinekid]

Sweet bass chops man lmfao

[jdawg211able]

i can use 1 pedal to sound like a double pedal

[cowzilla8]

I notice that you put in a Thomas Lang flare into that solo.

[jashley4]

NICE!



[woweasyguides]

Look Randy Jackson is in the backround!

[JOHNSIBAYAN07]

saw some metal in there.in a band?

[TopTenCrew]

You look like Julian from Trailer Park Boys

[EUPHORiCKiD]

It'sa me, Mario!



[cdm121880]

Fantastic!

[TheCMurdah]

I think drummers have it the worst on YouTube.. Everyone acts like they are the drum king and can judge.. I enjoyed the performance

[XXmacXX777]

it was alright

[0509killer]

wow, you almost ran to the camera to turn it off. Did you need to get to the gym? pretty good chops though.

[xdrummer2010x]

I think people who say stuff like "all double bass!" are maybe a tad bit jealous haha

[mikemancan]

@xdrummer2010x totally agree! Not just in my playing.

[IAMsterdamxxx]

bhleaaaaaa



[AStudCalledKyle]

Who was judging?

[DRoll463]

so this is what Julian from trailer park boys has been doing.

[MMTPproductionz]

lil wayne in the backround

[Roadkill558]

Nice work!!

[GabrielDhalaman]

KIKO FREITAS..check this guy out too.Fore me its him and Weckl...

[pnkflod]

was any of this actually prepared??

[mikemancan]

@pnkflod I tryed to, but on this solo i didnt prepare any of it.



[TheLament666]

all double bass! probably one the most boring solos ive ever seen

[mikemancan]

@TheLament666 i agree

[0509killer]

@TheLament666 I heard the snare once or twice.

[cdm121880]

@TheLament666 WTF?

[mikemancan]

@TheLament666 sorry man, i play to my strengths.

[siFusionizer]

@TheLament666 Man, you have to stfu! Stop watching if you don't like it.

@mikemancan Go do yo' thing man! Congrats for winning your state's GC drum off btw!

[TheLament666]

jewish mike portnoy



[twburnskc]

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiick!!!!! 

[1drummachine20]

So Phillip Craig won your store in the store finals? Did you get second place at least?

[superman6387]

Very nice performance. I enjoyed it a lot. If you'd like or a have a chance check out my videos from the competition and let me know what you think. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you :) I hope I see you in the later rounds :))

[Bosa100]

nice xD the judge all the way to the right, my right, seemed unimpressed o_O

[mabramsjf]

Sick dude, I would need 4 arms to keep up with that. I guess thats why I play classic rock with a bunch of old fat guys, we just do the basic jams and I don't have to work so hard. Great job!!

[shwee7]

Eh. its ok. You're rhythm was off quite a bit. I think its because you focused too much on the tempo. I wouldn't do this though, haha. Props to you for winning.

[GregoryGraveyard]

that was dope.

[The4thGuy]

Whoa. I love that you got your own unique style down!

[DaeDrums777]

mario plays drums???

[logansdrums]

just chops nothin to groove lol i herd hertas

[mikemancan]

@logansdrums Ya i try grooving, but with the adrenaline pumping its hard for me too. I also did a book report in there :)

[logansdrums]

@mikemancan haha i hate book reports!!! the soo hard good job though with learning some hybrid rudiments :)

[mikemancan]

@myspacedrummer Hey man i thought your video was sick. Your a very tight drummer and love the fluidness. Hope you make it far in the competition!

[AdamTheRaptor]

Sweet, dude! Good job for sure!

[slickrickthemagik]

that was dope! great chops

[drumnsnitchslapper]
