Hey guys, I'm the drummer in the video. Just so you know, this was done a bit less than 3 years ago...when i was a sophmore in high school...this wasn't for the college, this was for the summer program. I PROMISE you Ive been practicing my double strokes! lol I'm at Berklee now as a 2nd semester student, but i was in high school. And i'm still learning!
Do you need to be this good to get into Berklee? I will be hoping to be close to this caliber before my audition, I just can't figure out how good of a drummer I need to be to get in as far as chops and shit.
@LIGHTRONIX To get in, you have to be good, but to get a scholarship you have to be great. I got in doing okay (in my opinion) but if you're aiming for a scholarship, you definitely need to have your game up to a certain level. But you can do something that doesn't involve this much chops in the video. Actually, I think this solo was overdone too much. It got really boring. Creativity will show a lot more COMBINED with chops. So really start researching! I recommend Steve Smith. GREAT advice!!
@GlitchHalo hey thanks so much man. that's exactly the information I was looking for. It helps me get a better understanding of where I am right now. maybe be seeing you next year? :o
I actually really enjoyed your Berklee video and plan to do the same rudiments when I audition in a couple days. I wasn't aware Berklee allowed auditions to be video taped - were you accepted?
How old are you in this? :)

so, one way to become a famous drummer is to audition for modern drummer, and then they give you loads of clinics and stuff???????

You have speed and kudos for that... but I don't think you exhibited much besides brute strength. I wish you would have shown more limb independence.

I agree. I thought it was all just power. To me, a solo should be melodic. Create something beautiful that stuns ALL.
