Guitar Center Drum-Off 2010 Champion - Isaias Gil

[pimpinology]

go head on brother. do yo thang

[PossessWithin]

Is he stoned

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

And he's obviously a fan of Jon Karel.

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

Great drummer, I'm usually not into the show off type drummers, but he seems to be having fun and that's all that really matters.

[achonies]

Not really my style. Mad skills regardless though.

[undergroundjackal]

*CRINGE* that was painful to watch and hear. goddamn terrible.

[AL3XAPOCALYPSE94]

simply on fire.

[pearlhaggard]

As 15 year veteran of drumming, I'm always bored with drum solos. But is damn refreshing stuff!

[ofershitrit]

Steve Smith stick tricks...

[manixpc]

wow, great grooves

[yagamiadri]

is he mexican?

[kevinmoussavi19]

Holy fuck.

[sundereddj]

''eesaias ghooooool..."

[MrSirron1234]

@mafiamaestro13 no i mean when he is like hitting it with both sides of his stick really fast. he also does at 4:45 too

[pauloXXtreme]

Amazing.....

[RonJLow]

We need to selectively breed these mutants for the betterment of mankind.

[MrSirron1234]

can someone tell me what that thing he did on the rim at like 4:30 is called i would really like to learn it

[mafiamaestro13]

@MrSirron1234 if its on the snare that ur talking about then its a rim shot. just hit the head and the rim at the same time and u'll get a very distinct metallic sound

[stealthDC]

holy sh*t. that was sick

[istudywater]

This guy should not have won. There are guys who are way more solid, mature and fluid than him.

Guitar Center is using his Blink-182 image to make some money. I can't blame GC because they are just a musical Walmart. I love GC 'cause their prices are good, but they are void of the heart and cultural depth of any music scene. They advertise what will make them money. Le's be honest.

This kid has great talent and skill, though.

[iLoveAltNation]

@istudywater Lets be honest, you're dumb.

[Drummertist]

Awesome. Great personality and chops.

[Lifesucksdie123]

stick tricks are lame.

[EdEmKay]

wow, a little over a minute for him to do anything remotely musical. shame.

[PoGoMyFlApPyStIcK]

Love the performance, but didn't like the drum solo talking.

[grooveunitedvideo]

Killer!



[DrumBum561]

He literally copied straight from the previous 2 champions. So stupid

[spanishkiddrummer4]

he is racist but he is awsome!!!!

[BulletFrenzy543]

Hes got spunk! This kid is fuckin awesome!

[wonderpulp]

damn this kid is goofy as fuck

[Bogandrummer]

ooh is that a ddrum kit?

[sonicsparta]

pinche mamon

[pepe7drum]

@sonicsparta pinche mamon pero de primera, lo hubieran mandado a la verga

[acidbath32]

i love how the camera catches the frames of the trailing of the sticks

[acidbath32]

only DCI drummers are that good to be rippin' like that with traditional grip

[gsx4g63t]

jeez, think hes inspired by benny greb at all?

[ALMOSTTECHNO]

you can TOTALLY tell he was in a drumline

[Michael55443]

Obviously he's a drum corp member, or was.

[mtijntjee]

Added to my Favorits!!

[Percush1n]

Lol, where has this guy marched?

[xjackw13x]

i could listen to a 4 year old play on this kit all day long.the quality is amazing, not to take away from this guy cause he killed it...

[Rockunstank]

mostly flash---give him 20 yrs and he will be a real player !

[npg68]

@Rockunstank you're full of shit! probably in 20 years time you might grace us with some intelligence?!

[Rockunstank]

@npg68 listen dipshit--I meant he will finally be a mature Musical player...he has a ton of talent already...just no restraint or taste.

[npg68]

@Rockunstank BS!

[MrStudebaker62]

the only reason you say he looks like a "cunt", is because YOU can't play like that !!!...this is contol at it's best !!!! great job man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[npg68]

@MrStudebaker62 yes...excellent control, stamina and balance! i would love to see all the haters post up vids of themselves carving it up behind their kits.....but of course that WONT happen because it's doubtful they could even bust a groove let alone get it on sexually!

[frat706]

good shit, i like the enthusiasm!

[sangrenegra666]

que hpta tan pasao, que puteria.

[lucaslima221]

who doesnt like it?

[kenporich2006]

Oh, so he should be a robot and expressionless and focus ONLY on pure skill? Personally, I prefer drummers that are flamboyant ("the showmanship makes him look like a cunt."). It makes them fun to watch. And it really doesn't matter if you said he was good or bad at this point, considering your "assessment" was that it made him look like a cunt. YOUR argument is irrelevant at this point. He's a got great skills and he's a showman. Better that than a statue playing drums.

[Blindrock69]

@kenporich2006 Well that is a personal opinion (As you said), if it's a personal opinion why have you started an argument?? Personally, I prefer drummers to focus purely on skill

[kenporich2006]

@Blindrock69 My argument had to do with saying he looked like a "cunt." But you appear completely blind to what I said before. Applying terms like "cunt" to describe someone doesn't get a great response. But, if someone replies to YOU in the same fashion, you get all pissy. Have your opinion, I didn't care about it in the first place. I pointed out your poor choice of descriptors..which no doubt you will continue to use. Your opinion is noted.

[Blindrock69]

@kenporich2006 Ah, yes. I understand your disapproval of my comment, but I meant no hatred towards the drummer, it was just a aweful use of words

[IDeadImau5]

@kenporich2006 two words (Luke Holland)

[sirpsychosexy19891]

@kenporich2006 yea a showman. but not a REAL player. like Tony Royster Jr. he's a player. Tony Williams is a player.

[sirpsychosexy19891]

@kenporich2006 yea he's a showman. but NOT a REAL player. Tony Royster Jr. is a player. Dave Weckl is a player. Steve Smith is a player. not him. he looks like a travis barker fanatic who picked up on some Steve Smith fills and came straight outta drumline.

[coldwaraaron]

@sirpsychosexy19891 really? travis barker fanatic? that's a pretty easy potshot to take. Try harder next time.

[ivanbagual]

a bunch of crap

[gillyobaggin]

those cymbals are sweet as fuck. especially that ride and those hats.

[kenporich2006]

Great job!!

[razorblade]

lol he's not showing off!!delivery matters when it comes to drum off competitions like this people..calm down!! xD

[Oyeczka]

4:26 LOOOL

[richiehenrydrums]

He doesn't look very comfortable with his traditional grip technique, does he...

[dizzytoledo]

Clown

[somaliapirates412]

That kit is gorgeous.

[MrOzzrock]

damn good,but how much time have you wasted practising the tricks,you can go far mate but you need too accent more, jazz and latin would make more of a drummer out of you than fancy stick work,gavin harrison you never see him do one stick twirl,he doesn't need too,its his awesome drumming and finesse that makes him stand out,good luck mate

[jhawk4chrst]

not impressed at all, LA you stole my heart? The solo was just choppy, no flo. Thmbs down all day.

[JordDBdrummer]

too much showmanship, but yes, drumming is awesome

[SteamgamingHD]

@JordDBdrummer for a good reason, he can back it up.

[JordDBdrummer]

@SteamgamingHD theres never a good reason for being cocky. makes you look like an ass.

[JordDBdrummer]

@JordDBdrummer no matter how good you are

[JDRUMNYC]

would tony royster be impressed?!!?!? NO I DONT THINK SO!!! lol kidding.

[xxdrumer101xx]

He sounds like Adam Sandler

[MrSirliftsalot]

Don't hate. This kid killed it!



[paucceri]

i usually hate pompous guys like this but he actually has the chops to back it up

[indieHindleyMusic]

if he hadnt of done that shit at around 1:57 i would have liked him a shit tonne better, i mean showmanship is great! but to look like a muppet playing the drums just is fuckin gay.

[hotdogqe]

Damn that man can beat some sticks

[49supraman]

dunno..!? sumthin bout it gets on my nerves..?

[Drummerkid74]

1:57 best part of the whole solo.

[JohnMeetsMac]

Viva La Raza!!!!

[landsharkofdoom]

this kid LOVES to drum...

[PaRtEnBULLsheet]

look up john karel, he takes this solo to the next level, seriously

[hahahaha1522ify]

fml

[dongiulio900]

this is a benny greb's groove

[ddadragon]

@Blindrock69 i dont think u know what a cunt looks like sir

[Blindrock69]

@ddadragon Well, cunt has two meaning

1: It is slang for vagina

2: It is an insult towards someone

I know what a vagina looks like, and know what the epitome of a cunt is, sir.

[androidsilluron]

@Blindrock69 You mad bro?

[TimBatan]

@Blindrock69 that's what sells these days

[J4LIakaEFGPORO]

@Blindrock69 He's mexican and he's funny, FUNNY LIKE GABRIEL IGLESIAS! also a great drummer as the video represents. U just jelly cause he has MOOOOOORE black friends than YOU soooo how bout that

[Blindrock69]

@J4LIakaEFGPORO I'm not jelly, jelly can't type silly boots, it's a tasty treat!!

[wcbond4]

@Blindrock69 In my opinion most drummers are cunts.

[Blindrock69]

@wcbond4 You have your false sterotypes incorrect,

Singers are arrogant cunts

Guitarists and dickheads

Bassists are quiet and fairly organised

Drummers are retards.

You need to learn the correct stereotypes, sir

[wcbond4]

@Blindrock69

I'll give you that much.

[kenporich2006]

@Blindrock69 And your comment shows what a piece of shit YOU are. You can do a better job..??? keyboard commando? Put it up and let the rest of us judge YOU. Otherwise STFU.

[Blindrock69]

@kenporich2006 Keyboard commando. That was a piece of constructive criticism. Whereas, you seem very angry and violent, sir. Who is the real keyboard commando here?

[kenporich2006]

@Blindrock69 Mmmm, ...calling someone a CUNT is constructive criticism? Okay, DOUCHE BAG!!! And your idiotic attempt at assessing ME (or anyone else), ha ha ha, what la complete miss. And, as I said before, where is YOUR demonstration of skill to back up bashing someone else. Don't see it up here yet asshole (oops, just being constructive...keyboard commando)

[Blindrock69]

@kenporich2006 I didn't call him a cunt. I said that the showmanship makes him look like one. In a subjective nature it is constructive and states that he should stop the showmanship or level it down. Please, learn to read a sentence correctly.

[kenporich2006]

@Blindrock69 Whenever the word "subjectively" comes out, that is usually an indicator you are the LAST person that should be giving advice about anything. And, as before, where is YOUR demonstration of drum skill? All see is you tossing "subjective" terms about in an attempt to appear intelligent or knowledgeable about a subject you have demonstrated no skill in. Think about that next time so you don't appear as a cunt.

[Blindrock69]

@kenporich2006 Your argument is irrelevant, at no point did I say he was a bad drummer or state that I was a better drummer than him, I said the showmanship makes him look like a cunt. Nothing more.

[TSMColby]

@Blindrock69 which is kinda true, so i agree with you. hes really fuckin good. but hes making a douche of himself

[0235681956]

@Blindrock69 showmanship in a drum-off competition. Makes tons of sense. Plus this guy can groove, lick and chop. I dont care about his personality, this is not oprah, can he drum? Yes he can. End of story.

[Blindrock69]

@0235681956 He can drum, and he'd be able to drummer better if he spent less time on his tricks.

[SuperWalle1000]

love the kumbia!



[SuperWalle1000]

BEAST!!!!!!



[Jayshikaa]

I was waiting for him to bust out into an insane groove but I was greatly disappointed. Overall though, his stick control is amazing.

[talentmetalspcialist]

siiiiick,and hes not immulating or trying to,tony royster jrs every move!

[15roland15]

Im mexican this is a cumbia. haha. awesome

[tyhicks2]

@Crueltool8 Ujelly?

[cooldude3]

damn, i didnt know this was the guitar center cymbal and rim off...

[mcbrowncb]

Michael Shrieve Jr.?



[TheRoryGallagher]

@mcbrowncb Haha, yeah)) What if this guy will play Soul Sacrifice?) It will be cool)

[mcbrowncb]

@TheRoryGallagher "Just keep that goin'" haha



[IronFabianSteel]

idk y ppl hate this guy and question how did he make it to be the champ, if you guys are good to criticize, you guys probably have the drum skill to match. Try the competition next year all you pro's out there xD

[egZACHtly]

@IronFabianSteel Not saying im as good as him or anything like that, but the past years winners are all SO much better than this guy. Thats why people are criticizing.

[McDiddy9999]

His showmanship and traditional playing comes alot from Thomas Lang. As far as his technique goes, Benny Greb totally inspired him there. Pretty good performance!

[unsafesk8erm]

travis orbin should really show up to one of these things.

[shmegmaproductions]

can't wait to do this competition this year!

[red92594]

They should put this on rock band...



[NICKHAM16]

Very interesting solo. The only thing I disliked was that his double kick was a little sloppy. Otherwise, pretty kickass

[Fherlordx9]

better than justin bieber

[Crueltool8]

a drumliner on a drumset...... he might as well be playing with scojo's...fuck this guy

[hittinskinz24]

boring



[franqooqvin69And]

El tiene un don... si es copiado si es inventado es lo que menos importa, si no les cae bien pues tampoco importa el tipo sabe tocar la bateria increíble y es nadie lo discutira! grande Isaias Gill

[superchanneljim]

Just fucking sick. With a smile the whole time. THATS! drumming.

[kbj42016]

Now THAT video was definitely worth its five minutes time. THANK YOU.

[rockmusscarcella]

Copia de varios bateristas grosos... ¡pero éso no le quita el talento y lo grandioso que es!

[emmanueluchiha1]

Es mejor solo de bateria que he visto o.O

[SpikePeppi1]

This is one of the best solos I have ever seen. How amazing!!!!!

[mynameisray]

@SpikePeppi1 umm no Sir, this was a fucking cunt trying to be a show off. 90% of the time he was showing off and 10% drumming. I hate fucking showoffs like this fagot

[Churminater]

@SpikePeppi1 You should check out Oded Kafri!

[MsTavo15]

No le llegas ni a LOS TALONES a COBUS!!!! el es el mejor

[AIONISMO]

@MsTavo15 este es 10 veces mejor. mínimo

[MsTavo15]

NO MUY PALETOSOOO!!!..... Tocas chingon pero tu forma de ser lo arruinaa.......

[twelvelookslike]

Who the fuk neged this?

[clarkcu00]

2:47 ... what the fuck?!

[jxmas87]

he is okay. but idk bout being champion

[wykisz]

That china sounds absolutely amazing! Anyone know the brand and the model of it?

[Metallicafan2703]

@wykisz I think its a Sabian

[Spiercing]

Could be Paragon...

[IshowFUNNYvids]

He got sooo much puntang after that.

[TheMedinaPedro]

he only won because Cobus wasnt at the competition....

[xmt24o]

@TheMedinaPedro Dude really?..Cobus isnt that amazing. Hes certainly above the average drummer from the amount of years hes been playing but still, not that great.

[seriously777]

I loved this performance until I heard the winner of this year's drum off...... This is just 5 minutes of 4/4 jamming...

[ZCxMusic]

@seriously777 If it's JUST 5 minutes of 4/4 drumming... I wanna see YOU doing it...

[seriously777]

@ZCxMusic Watch this video and then watch the 2012 winner. You tell me which is more creative, more well rounded, and the overall best performance. Isaias is a stud, no doubt, but I'll take this years winner if just comparing the 2 performances..

[mindlesszombie4]

@ZCxMusic i got to see him play 5 different times this weekend

[MrConfusional]

Snare sounds like shit...Good technique though

[xXQcAresiusQcXx]

I love you because you played on a Tama kit...

[SLPK360]

The best thing about this video is the beautiful set of bubingas he's got there.

[guitarr456]

Nick Pierce should've won



[FWDATTACK3]

SO!! It's THAT easy to win a drum off at Guitar Center uh...

[frostedcornflakes]

sick grooves!

[mrgonzo251]

He's a Technician!

[MrBigspiderx]

he must like George of the Jungle

[JESUS15485]

This kid is amazing

[wetrib]

That was phenomenal!

[XASxxxxxxxxxxxx]

played much, in my opinion a boring drum solo to hear

[jsbattlenet]

yes when you play drums that well you can show off and do goofy tricks while playing. LOL great job wish I could play like that

[DJTrancenergy]

Nice to see musical diversity in this drum solo and not only mainstream common shit and fast singles.

Great solo!

[BrianMcGooch]

What are those Hi Hats?!?!?!?!?!! *******

[cyclonebreaker89]

its a great solo, indeed, but its not the type of play that i like, but still... a great drummer, indeed^^

[snackeye12]

sooo good. but i kind wish they would just lay back and not do all this cutting around with the camera shit. it would make it soo better

[RebelOnAWarpath]

@RebelOnAWarpath How*

[RebelOnAWarpath]

@drums4694 Define art and style..... This is not a competition to see who can play straight eights it's a show off competition, and he barely uses his double pedal, let's see you play at the drum off and see hoe far you get playing art and style

[musicianjenson]

Wats the purpose of the competetion?its not to lay down a straight groove to a click is it!its to show off , you're your flare and ability!Get your head out the clouds to you guys saying travis barker doesnt do this!

[imXaXteapot2112]

That was complex as HELLLL!!!!!!!
