[CraymelMage11]

@HarrisonPayne Someone's jealous and butthurt.

[Aleyaax]

WOW! U ROCK! IM ON GRADE 1

[HowlingRabbit334]

Really good job! Your playing was amazing, especially at 11.

Everyone, let's just remind ourselves that being able to play hard songs doesn't necessarily mean we're good, because for any drummer, hard songs are possible if they practise enough.

There's no real way to tell how good of a drummer someone is but let's just say mark mason is one of the best of his age, eh?

[MrNinom8]

Credit where it's due mate lol. I remember Doing grade 8 about 18 months ago, and the study and zap de mime were easy, and fredde boy was alot of work. You've really nailed here. Keep it up.

You got a real nice sound aswell, you should think about doing some finger and hand tenchnique from Steven Smith Or JoJo Mayer. would really develop you even more a drummer.

[MeinlFanatic]

You fucking SHREDDD MAN That was intense! Like only doing my grade 6 exam next sunday and I thought some of that shit was complicated! Fucking hell, hats off to you my friend!:)

[Bananaboat2000]

You should consider Britains got Talent. Your waaay better than the other drummer boy.

[Bananaboat2000]

WOW!! I'm a drummer but no where near as good as you. Great stick controll. What kind of kit do you have??

[XxDrummerBoyZz]

Hes Shitt .. ii Will Respect You If uu put quatar note beat into or have a track aswell cuz any1 could play u need timing .. Well Done Thoe

[JamesStorey09]

@XxDrummerBoyZz Just left you a profile comment. Erm.... this kid isn't shit, look at your video. i can play this piece and quarter note? it is a completely different track to what you will have heard of... expand what you know about drums. Timing btw. look what he is doing with his hi-hat. That is timing, not once does he go out! look at your video! and compare it to all of this guys. He's good. You're not, speak when you have experience.

[Bluemoon4655]

wow those beats you were playing were pretty impressive

[95vaghelaa2]

Yes Manic205.

To see how damn good you are.

This kid is quality- very technical piece played really well.

[Manic205]

Can anyone tell me what the point is with these drum gradings?

[Bassett1995]

@Manic205 get grade 8 and you can teach for alot of money !!!!

[Manic205]

@Bassett1995 Do you really need to be grade 8 to teach? I dont really think so lol. Im self taught and I teach kids atm xD.

[whitexgreen]

ive heard this of a couple of drummers and teachers that its generally grade 6 to 'beggin' teaching tho been higher will have benifits.

[jamiequinlan]

hey, kid your awesome!

[KINGxOFxSPRING]

I am a beginning drummer ad i didnt know there was like a grade scale for drumming...

[Forza2begdrift]

[THETROOPER123456789]

iw ish i started when i was young

[bethcheng]

it's awesome!keep drumming!

[munsta08]

i cannet tell if your reading or uve memorised it.

[jezza94]

im learning this peice for a music competition called mrs sunderland... i love it but its rock hard !! ive just taken my grade 5.....

well done with the distinction! and nice solo ;)

[1234567890moo]

very well played indeed i applaud you but the only thing i would point out is that you bring the sticks a bit too high away from the drums but otherwise you will go far. keep up the good work

[markmason7]

Thanks Moo

[DrumMasterT]

Hi mark,

Just wondering, not critecising. Did you get marked down at all for dynamics. I would just think that being Grade 8 and all that the dynamics would have to be really extreme which they don't seem to be here?

[markmason7]

I got a Distinction DrumMaster.

Matthew Mason

[DrumMasterT]

That didn't really answer my question. If you are trying to shoot me down or something then you shouldn't be allowed a grade 8! Lots of people can get distinctions and that doesnt mean you got full marks! So therefor you quite easily could have been marked down a few marks! I didn't say you were bad or anything that provoked such a reply from you!

[markmason7]

I didn't get marked down for dynamics in any way DrumMaster.

Matthew Mason

[carcrashstar93]

cool it :|

[YTisshit]

i wish my rolls where that sweet

[Rh0dri]

really well played btw

[derder1234AQWER]

can you play green day's songs?

[Rh0dri]

of course he can if he can play grade 8

[peeweeruIe]

just kill your self for suggesting such a thing

[luv4drums139]

loool

[easytiger6969]

TIT!!! the lad had just passed his grade 8 with distinction and you ask if he can play greenday which are prob equivalent of grade 4 maybe 5?!?! LOL!!

[LunaSolitaria]

Awesome as always!!!

[AdventChild93]

pure skill. well done.
