[JPBouvet]

@MrCoby247 Thanks for following along! Please stay in touch!

[BrianLindseyDrums]

Dude this solo was so awesome. One of the most interesting solos that i have ever seen. Brava. Brava. :D 

[JPBouvet]

@BrianLindseyDrums Many thanks

[MrCoby247]

JPBouvet haha it sounded amazing

[MrCoby247]

what snare was that

[JPBouvet]

@MrCoby247 No idea haha

[NathannRamirez]

How did you get so mind-blowingly amazing?!

[ronied125]

Hey man, first of all I'd like say congratulations. Secondly, you weren't able to have a 2nd cowbell (on your right hand) so did you just play that part differently or did you leave that part out of the solo? Because I would guess you played it differently (by cross sticking), but I was just wondering.

[JPBouvet]

@ronied125 Hey thanks a lot for the kind words. And ya the cross stick was supposed to be another cowbell. It worked out though!

[ronied125]

@JPBouvet Cool thanks for replying man!

[RebelOnAWarpath]

You murdered that solo man that was awesome

[JPBouvet]

@RebelOnAWarpath Thanks! haha

[Gregtendon]

Listened to the solo, Really was digging the stuff with the octopad. All in all, that was a great freaking solo man. I aspire to pull something like that together on my own accord one day.

[JPBouvet]

@Gregtendon Thanks a lot. I have no doubt you can!

[91945punx]

I'm so stoked for you bro.  Congratulations.

[91945punx]

Dude, you must have been freaking out when they told you about the cowbell. Question for you... do you get more nervous before or after a performance? I ask because whenever I would perform I would be much more nervous about it afterwards.

[JPBouvet]

@91945punx Definitely before for me. Once it's done, it's done. I might feel kinda crappy like I didn't play my best sometimes. But it's generally a little worse before. Although if I'm prepared, the nerves aren't too crazy. That's the trick.

[jdawg6893]

hold up hold up. That solo was you messing up? I call bullshit, congrats on the win dude very well deserved!!

[smithpearl83]

[bentag65]

Great job JP. You stuck it through all the technical stuff and the distractions. Awesome. Enjoy the moment and then get back to woodshedding.

[s2matsntma]

That was an amazing show. I think your creativity and risk taking may have been the major factors that helped you win......and your ridiculous independence.

[JPBouvet]
