[123bowbitch1]

@PlushChronicles how was "Pfft, I could do this in 4 years" using sarcasm? please explain..

[PlushChronicles]

@123bowbitch1 saying, since hes young, and i am like 15, i would be able to play this when im 19 cuz im not as good as him. more irony i guess. i was complimenting him :)

[123bowbitch1]

@PlushChronicles We're obviously not on the same page.

[grunt616]

@123bowbitch1 Fail...

[123bowbitch1]

[ZiggyZaggy1369]

OWNED.

[TankP0wnz]

[brandonbear1]

Where did you find the music for this?

[geoff2theleft]

SANTA CLARA VANGUARD SNARE ALL THE WAY...WAY TO GO JAY!!

[megabandman321]

wow, this is amazing, i know i will never be able to play because i cant read snare music, to complicated for me

[jdducut83]

Most beast award goes to!!!

[drummerbrown20]

how did you figure out that he was god at drums, did he find sticks and randomly play some crazy lick?

[voteyesplease]

Constructive criticism... Play the tuba. Jk! You rock little buddy! Keep practicing, your a true natural!

[chels18mt]

Dude we need u at our high school

[drumfanatic4]

great job, but keep working them taps down

[ceana27]

is it bad that i am 13 and he is better than me at 11? lol great work

[bao1997]

im a freshman and im sad to say,i think his rolls are even better than mines:(

[eraera47]

Dude if you ever need a tenor player, I'm your man XD lol

[TacoOnABoat]

lol i wanna show this to my fellow percussionists in class xD im sure theyd get a kick outta this..

[saidincontent]

I give up

[abcdefghijklmnop7111]

greatgreatgreat ! i wish i could do it like him too ...

[jbpabst]

I quit.

[eminem123456789ful]

dude how many different snares do you have? what heads you use?

[emerica9534]

can i get the music for this?

[navydentalcorp]

future cavalier snare player. ya!

[DaStupidFace]

holy shit buckets!!

[lootbucket]

holy crap. if he keeps it up he will no doubt make core when he gets older.

[Schwabel3]

is jay gonna do WGI

[oldchops]

@Schwabel3 I doubt it; no time for it.

[Schwabel3]

@oldchops thats too bad I'm sure you have heard this before but he is very talented, I know doing WGI for about 5 years really got my chops up

[oldchops]

@Schwabel3 If there was a group nearby, then he probably would that the time for it. As it stands now, the closest group is in the Nashville area, a solid 3 hours drive time away. Jay may have the desire to do that when he his older and independent. Jay is 14 years old and I guess I was thinking about the near future as opposed to 3 or so years down the road, when I initially responded.

[Schwabel3]

@oldchops it would be really cool to see him in dayton

[coolcooja]

@oldchops I know people that are 16 and do WGI. Usually the practices are on weekends.

[HYPERGETIC]

@oldchops Do you mean MCM? Cause if you do, he should definitely do it. MCM has th greatest shows every year, and their show this past year was absolutely incredible. I'm debating whether i should try for MCM or rhythm X in the future because rhythm also does have one of the best snarelines in WGI, so that would be another great option for him.

[MrRandomstuf]

how many snare drums does he have and why is he plying in a field

[2cousinshare]

I wish I could do tht but the more I practice the better I get thanks dude

[sharpshooter0508]

BEAST!

[eraera47]

This kid inspired me to work my ass off in percussion and now Im like amazing. Thank you, Jay.

[oldchops]

@eraera47 You are welcome! But make sure that you keep it all balanced - academics, spending time with family and friends, other interests, etc. you know.

[percussivepurcell]

@oldchops that balance gets hard at times! i agree that drummers should get that balance, i wish my dad (whos also a drummer) would keep me in check about stuff that means a lot in the long run,

[Clunkster]

Awesome!

[24XSPARKYX]

he played the flam five wrong in the beginning

[drummaboi19]

@24XSPARKYX wow dude. he's 11. give the kid a break. i'm sure he could stomp you into the ground without even freakin trying.

[fhssnare]

@24XSPARKYX it's not a flam 5. its rlrrllrr in four over 3 16ths. he played it right.

[LOLNOOBCAKES]

Thats gonna be a badass blue devil

[spncrmodx007]

Kid probably practices all day for 2 years before his mom advertises him on youtube

[BJCResource]

Chops indeed!

[JOSHAPPLE101]

I'm pretty sure this video is illegal.

[sdsblah08]

OMG!!!!! That kid is a beast! I'm 15 and a snare and I'M not even that good! WOW.

[DaNewMusic09]

i liike dat



[FeeLtheHertZ]

DA<NM! IncREDIBLE technique!

[UberY00tUBER]

I dont believe it... There's no way in hell an 11 year old can play anything from the blue devils... im not trying to sound like an asshole im saying that its pretty easy to edit a video...

[UberY00tUBER]

@dariusproducer I can play this... my drum instructor wrote our warm ups around blue devils pieces specifically grievous groove and ditty...

[Jwayse]

So amazing. He better have a future in the Corps. It would be a complete waste of talent if he didn't.

[48carsonjohnson]

loosen up!

[ernstt1903]

Not fair, he's with like 6 drumsticks ;) Nice one!!

[pinchofsalt100]

I just got schooled.... by an 11 year old....

[weinerballz]

WHERES KEEEEEEELLLAANNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!! LOL

[Kathryn1724]

@weinerballz haha "Brandon, cut keelan."

[tenors00]

So how old is he now? And when's he tryin out?

[cwk1417]

hahaha the drum is a bit high for Jay, but this is awesome. now that he's grown since the vid, should fit perfect.

[ziester3995]

man..... if this kid keeps playing like this, hes gonna be an absolute beast when hes older.

[Soljahboy666]

WTF , this makes me wanna kill myself, this cleary states that i am a failure in life....

[Sfz0]

@Soljahboy666 same here man >=l

[09sorealcru]

does he still use this drum?

[oldchops]

@09sorealcru Yes, he still plays on it, but rarely. We probably have not adjusted anything about it since the video, lol.

[09sorealcru]

@oldchops i just realized that the drum used in this video is the same model used by atlanta a&t in the 2002 movie, drumline. 

[minimeiskool]

too bad you dont get paid for marching percussion

this kid would get RICH.

FAST.

[Emdai7813]

You should shoot a video of him playing Grievous' Groove now, although this is incredibly great, I just want to see him do it now for some reason.

[rosh543]

wow i suck

[Emdai7813]

@rosh543

Haha, that made my day.

I'm feeling the pain too.

[stealthbugger]

real strong. sometimes there's just talent in place and this kid's got it.

[idaho777]

omg :O

[rainclowed]

he rushed the triplets...

[nickppp100]

where can i get the sheet music fo this?

[babydragon15jrotc]

hey brittany man jay ur amazing u said that u were 10 in that video but i can watch ur vids over and over again and i still get blown away every time and im a percussionist too for the west broward high school band and im truly not as good as u man mad props and keep it up :)

[mattrip1428]

...unreal... lol

[anonimus99anonimo]

very very bad

[ryan9312]

@anonimus99anonimo you're retarded im sure he's better than you.

[anonimus99anonimo]

@ryan9312 shut the fuck up, you even know my bastard, I'm professional

[ryan9312]

@anonimus99anonimo wow you would think that a pro snare drummer would have one favorited drum video instead of a bunch of japanese cartoons you fucking wierdo.

[anonimus99anonimo]

@ryan9312 men you are just a little bastard, you are like a stoker

you must enter to my account, my hobbies are nothing of your matter, and btw fuck up bastard, my hobbies have nothing to do with my position of pro drummer

and men wierdo you stupid fag stocker

[ryan9312]

@anonimus99anonimo ok then douchebag if u are so good at drumming, then can you explain what paradiddles or swiss army triplets are? do you know what tenor drums are?

[anonimus99anonimo]

@ryan9312 men you are a fucking bastar, why I have to show you if I'm what really I'm, I don't know why I still responding to your stupids coments, say whatever you whant faggot, I realy don't care If you belive me or not, you must be a bastard than no one cares about and shows all your problems in that rudboy actitud, just died for earth sake

[ryan9312]

@anonimus99anonimo how about u learn to put a sentence together before u try to tell me off dude

[Spielster14]

@anonimus99anonimo um, ya. i have no idea what you are saying. i get you like the word fuck and bastard a lot, or however you spell it. But, anyway, i have to go with Ryan here, i have a strong feeling you dont even know what a drumline is. So if you really do know anything about drums, tell us a lil about them. Now Ryan, in his defense, what vids he likes dont exactly have much to do with his knowledge of drums, but i do agree that anonimus seems pretty stupid. Sorry dude.

[KonguAwesome]

@anonimus99anonimo You seem to be quite a dumbass repeating bastard over again. We'll take it your not proffesional.

[anonimus99anonimo]

@KonguAwesome you are no more than an idiot that wannabe someone in life with this kind of comments, so make a favor to the humanity and shut up or kill yourself

[KonguAwesome]

@anonimus99anonimo You can't even come up with a proper worded sentence. You also don't have any reason behind your comment, thus I concur that your opinion doesn't matter. I had people who were close to me commit suicide. You shouldn't joke around like that, asshole. In all actuality, the only one who's being a pain to humanity is you, posting hateful comments to what was a then young boys video. How mature, Mr.Anonimus99anonimo. When you grow a pair, you should apologize.

[TheDizzan42]

yeah man it aint gonna be perfect but how many people could even pull THAT off when they were as young as him?

[jermy101191]

ugh....yea that totally makes me feel more confident about making drumline in college....i just got owned by an 11 year old!!! haha

[keymaster2]

This kid is amazing. The only thing negative I can say about him is just to keep his taps lower, but overall, great job.

[Mcfatima75]

Hooo! Garoto voçê toca muito . den much boy .

[gkiller29]

it looks fake

[crazyfuzz2]

That kid has got ridonculous skill..... he will be a future blue devil no doubt

[percussivepurcell]

man, i wish i had chops like u!

[Autobotsrollout3]

future blue devil

[coolcooja]

@Autobotsrollout3 Lame! Phantom Regiment!

[philipthemanlovell]

@Autobotsrollout3 Cavalier

[UKperc11]

he plays it cleaner than the 06 devs did! lol pwnt

[runtangadom]

stick heights and bead placement.

other than that great!

these are the types of kids that are legends in dci and go on to teach world class corps and have sig sticks and all that jazz

[drumzac]

You are critiquing a young child. Are you serious? IIRC, no one asked for your opinion.

[runtangadom]

...why would he put it on here if he didnt want critique.

take it easy

[drumzac]

Maybe to show what he can do, but in a very humble way. He isn't hear to act as a show off or to be critiqued. He is already critiqued in competitions.

He doesn't need some armchair DCI judge wannabes telling him anything.

[TeHnEwShOw]

Grow up, Runtangadom is only trying to advance Jay's playing ability by advising him on some things to work on. You have no right to call him a "armchair DCI judge wannabe". When he has nothing but good intentions to advance a fellow percussionist's playing abilities.

[drumzac]

Grow up? Hmm, I think I've done plenty of that and much more to go like all of us.

Not one person on here will advance his playing by critiquing him. How is he going to learn? In the REAL world. Anyone can shout out a bunch of words or terms they have heard instructors say, but do they have the experience or are they qualified. Probably not.

Whoever is guiding this person in real life and not on Youtube, is obviously doing an excellent job. We have no right to critiquing him at all.

[TeHnEwShOw]

Freedom of speech/typing is applied here.

[clonedgiraffe]

I hate these videos so much, cuz it reminds me of how terrible I am even though I'm older than him. I'm in the process of learning Grievous' Groove at 100 BPM. I fail... :(

[playaboi18]

haha dont worry so am I. watching him makes me feel like i'm a total slacker

[clonedgiraffe]

Lol I know right? I got 'er down now, aside from just a couple choppy areas i'm up to speed. :)

[MegaHeshProductions]

@clonedgiraffe me too but at 170 now.. :)

[iGuitarified]

damn amazing haha. it feels so strange though to see videos of him when he was younger since now hes actually like 13 i think, but damn nice chops man! and does anybody know where to find the score for this?

[pinchofsalt100]

@iGuitarified just google grievous groove free sheet music..... should come up somewhere in a pdf... thats where i got mine and ITS HARD!!! (too many triplets for comfort =P)

[drumfizzle]

dude u r amazing. go send scott johnson an email showing wut u can do

[beastman1244]

@drumfizzle i bet he already has lol

[oldchops]

LOL! I am sure that Scott Johnson is at least somewhat familiar with Jay.

[tarheelhater]

blowed away....watch his 2009 talent show...

[poofypuffer]

hahah its keelan!!!

[ZMDci]

ahah!

hey.. i know his black but doesnt mean his keelan.. XD

[havok331]

this kid is better than half the people twice his age. hes got tons of talent and i really hope to see him succeed

[whsquads]

Please get him to march when he is older.

It would be a shame to see this talent go to waste.

[vampireCAT013]

beastly!

[jonah12321]

it kinda does look fake, or sped up a little

[TheHaywood1]

hey im the same age as u n'd im pretty good but u play way better than me and as good or better than my instructor in my drumline. keep it up

[Wayne2000100]

Dude is sick on tha snare! Keep doin yo thing man.

[AlienV8]

Stick heights bro!

but otherwise awesome :)

[fuzzyhead11]

wow man. i'm your age and im not even a portion of the way to where you are.

[EvansDrumsRock]

your really good but just make sure you work on your stick heights because the stick are coming up really high

[superdarkhypersonic1]

wow he is going so fast it looks a bit fake but is not it sounds awsome

[jumpseat2024]

WTF! that's amazing for someone his age...def jealous

[TheAntFarmmer]

Dude you have to slow down, everything that i do it seems you do a hell of a lot better

[therawest601]

Son, you can play better than the high schoolers in my town!!!!!!!!!

[kamakazi389]

damn son! I wish I had his hands at 11!

[Schwabel3]

personally I would say he is the next scojo

[ivanrosenbergtrumpet]

hes fucking 11 years old

[andrewschrock1996]

Hey I don't know you, at all, but I'm pretty sure he can play way better than you could at 11 years old. Don't think you should be criticizing how he "hits the rim too hard."

[thedrummer190]

can you say, child prodigy?
