How to Read & Play a Snare Drum Solo : Playing the Entire Solo: Reading a Snare Drum Solo

[TheFlygon99]

he speed up alot lol and he forgot dome 16th notes at the begging

[MVdrummmer]

wow... he didn't play 4 sixteen notes in the first line in the first 2 measures. FAILURE!

[birdreynolds02]

All you people on here making the snotty comments on here are the ones who really suck! And if you can't come away from this video learning something it's because you're stupid. You're the type musicians who walk around with some inflated egos when you ain't about shit. Or you can't even play at all so you're jealous or something. Music is about sharing ideas and perfecting an art form, not running around like some juvenile twit making smartelic remarks. And no he wasn't speeding up.

[Synsacrus]

@birdreynolds02 But... but he didn't even play the first line right. Some people really are just that bad.

[mlk0711]

@birdreynolds02

Dude you need to chill out a bit but I totally agree music is about passion not if you play something text book or not.

[IrrelevantTV]

you fucking suck



[avenged7xguitar]

Way to read music, cameraman.

[JUS4DAHELLOFIT]

he's just playing not explaining, it did not help me at all

[Germany981]

in the begging of this did any body notice that he skip like two rights stokes and two left hand stokes like 0:25 to 31 he skip four notes check it out '

[ajcf1995]

@Germany981 your totally right. i mean wtf.

[Germany981]

@ajcf1995 its alright no one perfect but i thought it was funny

:D

[jglittlej]

camera fail

[zcobryant]

Where's he starting from? Obviously not the top. Unless he's skipping beat 2 of bar 2

[EEKWANsusu]

he's the person we gonna teach.

[mo81206]

stop buzzing the down beats of the 1+a's

[Egliic]

And of course he should be using metronome. :D

[Egliic]

Besides he lost 1/4 already in second bar. I mean the last double stroke of second bar.



[Egliic]

Besides he lost 1/4 already in second bar. I mean the last double stroke of second bar.

[64bbfan]

the camera man cannot read lol

[conkerzzz]

Damn, camera moves to slow!

[Boe1771]

GAY!

[CUSTOMLIFR]

u forgot a eanda hahaahah @ the begining i used to play the snare in highschool brings back mem thanks for the vid

[hjusdhfiausbfihawevi]

that sticking is messed up:P

[MauriciaBloodRain]

uh yea he messed up at the begining so dat messed me up

[twinkievstwix]

boy say....

either im crazy or u messed uhp at da beginning....

[rgrainger09]

@twinkievstwix yh he did

[jadieo96]

how can i get the sheet music?

[hellnoob11]

2nd grade shit here lol

[dmjust]

ahah 1st grade solo? should be played at speed on first sight. geez, these "experts" kill me

neatly encouraging people thats alright making mistakes while playing to an audience? since when? it happens, of course it does but you can't say it like that. not when you're supposedly giving a lesson on how to prepare a snare solo. the purpose of preparing it is to leave it flawless.

[drumdrumdrumfun]

I cant read the sticking very easily... that sucks.

[LtroyS]

Yeah whoa. lol Like 900 mistakes.

[lcboo9]

HAHAH THE camera went on the wrong part... douche

[7shado]

Well atleast he tried. Let's see u guys do a vid teaching music this slow.

[mightyjoy]

@7shado I'd love to see it too, because playing this slow requires a lot of skill. It's very easy to speed up.

[NeCtRiCkS]

lol, I thought I commited a mistake while reading, but after reading the comments I'm sure the "expert village" guy is wrong. This is why I hate this company. They suck at skateboarding as well. lol

[XASxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Kevin what is the name of the book?

[flyinglime012]

lol love the rushing buy a met

[jimbos22]

hey i he just started running the thing and he did something like 3-4 mistakes

[flipper7001]

nice vid!!!

I bought a drum rudiment poster and dvd at

DrumRudimentPoster.comx-minus the x :) it rocks!!!

[joncoope1081]

He fucked up on the first part....he missed a beat

[wheelholder12]

@joncoope1081 you stole my glory.I had to do a double take and listen to it again .then I said " he missed a beat."

[joncoope1081]

@wheelholder12 lol...mybad brah, but I am surprised I am the only one that caught it, it is so obvious, I was following a long and I was like I don't understand why I am behind and that is why

[Percussionfish]

another epic fail these guys, change the name already anything but expertts!

[Lenniett29]

Thanks a lot!!

[mymd11]

What is your advice on e drum? If I had a choice of getting a RolandTd-7 or Yamaha express, which would be a better kit?

[drummakid101]

If you're gonna teach something.

Make sure YOU can do it first.

[DancingMonkey12]

"expert" village is a joke.

[moneymayham123]

um im not that good but I think you missed a sixteenth note in the second mesure and you are not keeping the time you set but practice makes prefect

[modestohomeboy]

dude, also use a metranome.

[modestohomeboy]

dude you screwed up the first 2 bars. you need more practice.

[schendu]

he messed up the beginning.. i have played this one.. he makes it sound bad :(

[juggajiggawuggahemp]

well then... so much for EXPERT village, more like failtown

[jangles89]

im confused, at :31, why don't you finish the eighth note?

[GalagaKing]

Rushing much?

[andyfields]

The camera panned down to the end of the page just as I was playing a measure, so I can't follow the lesson properly. Very frustrating!!

[TS175]

somebody please shot the camera person!

[gregbboy619]

@TS175 You are completely wrong. Try to keep your beat yourself and you're see he's completely correct.

[33ltd]

@gregbboy619

2nd measure 2nd beat, he missed it.

theres a sixteenth note there ( r r l l ) he completly blew it away

[mightyjoy]

@33ltd yeah, you're right. totally blew off a full quarter note; should have done a second take, I think.

[freshhh1994]

incredibly easy,

boring

[jollyranchero]

the last thing he said was if you make a mistake...keep going. perhaps he did it on purpose.

[AetherPhantasm]

Anybody else notice he keeps speeding up?

[Jrgamespot]

I was just about to comment on that. He speeds up right away.

[Burgerpope]

This is a sorry excuse for a snare solo. xD It's incredibly easy to sight-read, even at twice the tempo you took.

[nagawinniePR56]

Rushing....

[RoyJohnMorris]

you missed the second quarter in the second measure! bye

[RoyJohnMorris]

Not Good, This is a wilcoxon exercise dedicated to "joe morello"!!

[dannymanzos]

IMPARA a LEGGERE BENE!!!!....Come fai a INSEGNARE????

[DRUMMMMMMMMM]

why does his accents sound like he is forcing the stick against the head (sort of like a buzz sound) and he fucked up on the second measure. fuck this lol

[zmyboo]

DUDE U MISSED BEATS IN THE SECOND MEASURE!!! how r u goin to teach sumbody and u cant read ur self?!?!?

[Bigb132013]

And furthermore, I play quints in my marching band (five drums) i am a rookie and i try my hardest, i'm second chair in my school (with one year of playing) Solo? That is not what i consider a solo, first of all, its miserably slow, second that accents are all in obvious places, and finally, it doesnt even sound good....you could have the best snare in the world and people would still look and say "Damn, What The Hell Was That?" And expertville? Doesn't it in reality read amateurville?

[1wasprt]

dude shut the hell up lol

[Bigb132013]

Time Out, When did you start playing, I've been playing for a year, I staring the beginning of my eighth grade year....I'm currently in ninth (Just in case someone cannot do that math) I am so much better than that, COME ON!!!!! Just Quit Being A Percussionist (that implies you can play more than a snare which you cant even do) I'm spending nine hours a day practicing and marching.......I would at least expect you to respect the drumming community and make 30 minutes a day to practice

[Bigb132013]

Started not staring

[christianbaghino]

AhAhhhhhhhh!!!

YOU HAVE TO LEARN BEFORE TEACHING, NOBODY TOLD YOU?

REALLY BAD.

[thebootlacebandit]

I never comment on these sorts of things but this guy angered me so much that I feel I have to comment....He's doing a tuition video on chart reading and can't even manage to read through that correctly! I hope he reads this comment and gives up!!!

[c4d3nce]

such an easy chart... that he completely failed at reading.

[Driv3r14]

This guy messed up hardcore.

I was playing along and not once was heon the right note.

GO EXPERT VILLAGE GO!

[idaho777]

he messed up the beginning

[tbabes28]

wtf? thats so easy

[esledge3]

i just sight read that with ease

[Leelouster]

Lmao I'm an 8th grader Honor Band Percussionist/Baritone player, and even I could sight read this with ease. For me to get to the High school band, I have to play a Senior piece....which is way harder than this. Flams and such. :o

[KBoe4]

oh no.

flams.

look out.

[Leelouster]

Yep. But I got though it by cheating. :P The guy wasn't looking, so I remember how it sounded, so thankfully I didn't have to switch because there were stickings. :D So he was just moving his head up and down while looking at his scoring paper. And the Band Director for the Highschool said I did a good job. :D

[KBoe4]

my post was dripping with sarcasm...

[kas36spires]

um i dont mean to burst your bubble but thats pitiful you're having trouble with flams at an eighth grade level. maybe i could understand if your piece had things like cheeses or book reports because i wouldnt expect you to play those in eight grade but i mean flams? come on.....

[Leelouster]

Na, I started band in 6th grade, but my parents didn't have the money to put me in Percussion, so I got in band with an instrument that the school provides. Which was the Baritone. I then went to Honor band half of the time in 7th grade, and then I dropped out and went to Percussion, and I stayed there for 3 months, and my Band Director told me that I was ready. So he put me in Honor Band. The only thing I didn't learn in beginner band was some of the flams, and fast rhythms.

[Leelouster]

But I'm now though that.I Just went pro with Flams 3 weeks ago. :D

[Driv3r14]

Really?

How long have you been playin?

I started my snare career in 5th grade, nearly 2 years ago. lol

I got my flams down alright,

and mu rolling is good,

I just cant make my solos sound good,

so I was looking for some good tabs...

but these suck.

[Leelouster]

Nice, I started my percussion career in 7th grade, been at it 2 years. :o

I'm pretty good at solo's, especially in the Drum Set. :D

Yea these tabs suck lol.

[muse1cian]

haha i paused and sight read on my practice pad. Its real easy, just give names that have the same syllable structure as the set of note. For Example, 4 16th notes is Mississippi, and an 8th with 2 16th is a bone digger

[you89156]

i use taco bell and dell taco for the eighth 2 16th note figures and the 2 16th note eighth figures

^_^

[ubernooberdude]

my band teacher loves taco bell

[ilovesolfege]

where's the video of him playing up to tempo?

[Creothcean]

Rolling in rhythm? Nice. I played this, once upon a time.....

[Glitchezz]

so dumb the guy controlling the cam sucks

[hybridpkerviolinist]

this snare solo sucks man. what happened to all the good techniques tht are supposed to be in a snare solo like rolling? I am disappointed at (Expert) Village.

[Wilsonbangy]

2nd Bar wrong missed second beat .. Expert village YAY !!

[ilovesolfege]

uh.. he lost a 1/4 note in the first fuckin measure!

[Suyado]

That is a half note and 2 sixteeth notes.

Idiot....

[ilovesolfege]

half note eh? I don't see any half notes on that page. 

I meant the second measure. I forgot that this was in cut time. He missed a 1/4 note worth of time. He skipped 4 sixteenth notes.

eat it.

[Suyado]

He did in the second measure, but it is still not cut time.

2/4.

[ilovesolfege]

so...to recap:

You corrected me on the fact that he skipped some notes, and you were wrong.

Shut the fuck up.

Where are the half-notes by the way?

[Suyado]

I corrected you on the fact that he didn't skip any notes in the first measure. I was completely right.

The half note is the first note of the solo.

1 (e) & a 2.

It has two sixteenth notes on the end.

Half, sixteenth sixteenth.

[ilovesolfege]

Oh..

So you're getting eight notes confused with sixteenths.

The first note is an eighth, hence the single beam. Are you totally retarded?

[Suyado]

Half = eighth, I am thinking of beats.

You were still wrong about the cut time.

[ilovesolfege]

well...you said:

That is a half note and 2 sixteeth notes.

Idiot....

So....you were talking about notes there.

[unavaivable]

what is that book?

[mrhappycow13]

stick control. Great book. you should get it.

[nordhoffkid]

you sped up

[Technohazard1]

BOOOM ta ta ta ta ta ta BOOOOM ta ta ta BOOOOM ta ta. Lol fix your snare

[ElasticWrath]

its kind of funny how everyone watching this already knows how to drum

[percphs]

LMFAO. I watched this... and I was like, "This is some fucking garbage..." and then I read your comment. LOL. That's hilarious.

[ElasticWrath]

yeah and everyones just like critiquing him, lololololol

[percphs]

haha... I was practicing earlier today... out of the Anthony Cirone book... and I was like, "Bitch, I could upload myself..." but then I was like, "Let's not... because people are bitches in this world."

XD

[ElasticWrath]

hahaha exactly

[percphs]

HAHA, and the user's name is "Expert Village"... EXPERT! haha. ;)

[WeRockTheBassline]

cmon man...if u cant read this beginners music at a stedy pace then plz dont play... and u missed four 16th notes in 2nd measure c'mon... this is 6th grade stuff

[percphs]

LOL... Start listening at the beginning, and then skip toward the second half of the video. He stead way up.

Fucking Garbage.

[rjvsmb]

Are you shittin' me. If you make a mistake just keep going? When you're PRACTICING and LEARNING you need to stop and correct your mistakes. When you're giving instruction, you need to make sure you're providing accurate information. How about pointing out your mistakes and doing it again, correctly.

[jeroenno19920404]

wtf is this.

omg

[drummindude777]

hahahaha rushing much?

[Vixx27]

xD wow

[DizZieJay]

hahahahahah

[pyreshadow]

wow.. u messed up on the second measure... way to go.. still if ur a beginner and have no musical experience i guess this would help u

[percphs]

It's help you be a bad player. xD

[pyreshadow]

ehh... yea this is true lol

[Crockett7890]

wdf, i hope fckn die and or your nervise system fails u ignorant prick, u sped up about 300 times, and u suck really bad, along with your ringy A55 snare drum, gtfo youtube lose

[cloud498]

that was sad

I could have played that in my sleep when I was in beginning band

and you sped up at about the first measure

after that you still sped up a bit, but there was a huge difference between the count off and the first measure

[mcqDrumsFTW]

LOL "If you make a mistake play through it because the audience doesn't have the music". Too bad we had the music and watched you fail.

[mcqDrumsFTW]

Haha pathetic, man. Learn to do the kind of thing you're teaching BEFORE YOU TEACH IT. I hope you lost your job or at least got cancer for this.

Have you ever played snare?

[SwimmerMca]

1 & a 2 e & a 1 e & a 2 e & a......MAN U SUCK

[mneptumph]

The camera guy/lady fucked that us pretty bad. hahaha. no offense, the snare drumming is awesome, just hire a new camera operator, that's all.

[mattman20132]

dude he skipped like 6 notes and then he did the accent. wow.

[aintmybabyfour]

i rule at cite reading i'll challenge someone to cite reading competition

[SeBaqu1]

u toootaly lost me the first few notes

[jjobie1324]

[Hayashi73]

Cool man but, you messed up right on the second measure

[supersteven14]
