David Oriente - 2009 DCI I&E snare solo winner

[natezynski]

That was the intro from lieutenant Kije! at 1:51! LEGIT!

[G3zX]

Haha its called falcon punch?

[Salaripride]

where did he march? i know he was in rhythm x 10 but what about drum corps?

[WeirdEl27]

@Salaripride Blue Stars. He's the snare tech at my drum corps, Legends.

[Skutieos7]

I wish I could buy sheet music of this

[Turk656]

Nice, grats man. I marched BDB back in 2009. It was my first summer in Drum Corps

[ppgray222]

I just shit my pants

[granaderop]

i find this easy to masturbate to

[kirby278]

wow that was amazing

[tcameronfoster623]

The lack of applause and cheering for this is disappointing. I would have been pissed if i was him.

[sniggitydebo]

He put his heart and soul into this, thats what it's all about

[Strive4Perfecti0n]

ct';sanbgfvnb

Sorry, my face melted on the keyboard.

[Broshockaa]

Holy crap

[PogoPantheon]

one of the most musical solos i've ever seen at i&E

[mablazaX]

1:51 ahaha that brought back memories of my senior year in high school. Marched that solo in the intro of our field show. Now I have the accompanying fife solo stuck in my head. ahh Prokofiev; gotta love the Kije Suite.

[strongtheory]

I have the music to this. It looks impossible to play.

[topfuel567]

love it !

[explodingpimp]

I quit

[mhoybook4]

Nevermind my last comment -- I just found the score for this solo on snarescience. David, thanks for kindly posting it for us to see!

[mhoybook4]

David, this is one of the most creative and well-written snare solos I've ever heard. I love how you utilized so many unique sounds on the snare drum and brought everything together in a very organized way. Is there any possible way you could ever email me a score of this snare solo? Thanks for your talent!

[CalLennon14S]

The only possibly way you could dislike this video is if you were an advocate for a specific drum corps(dooshes) and that you only enjoy one corps' playing and nobody else. Be an advocate for drumming,for amazing talent, and composition skills, jesus. This guy is unbelievable, shut the fuck up and like it.

[BeakismEIU]

1. Awesome chops 2. creative solo, thought I had seen it all by now. 3.  pants?

[I38VWI]

Gotta be one of my favorite snare solos ever.

Perfect balance of extreme technique and flare.

Falcon PAWNCH.

[willbradlemusic]

I dig the Lt. Kije reference.

[kfdhglkd]

wat kind of sticks are those

[FlamDragon69]

I know David himself, he had this solo before the season even started. If only you knew.

[iTactiiCz]

@FlamDragon69 The second place solo was a BD member. I really hope your comment was sarcasm filled goodness.

[joschneider1]

@FlamDragon69 hahaha

[Grasshopper110]

Skills

[niceshotjones]

[Ms3abden]

@FlamDragon69

Pretty sure he wrote it. . . hence the word "original."

[OldSchoolLovin15]

[cacyo]

[lij2015]

[PGauding09]

[KBoe4]

[djsm182]

@KBoe4 I think they were speechless

[TheLogan1156]

@KBoe4 Shut up, KBoe69. You don't know anything about DRUMZ.

[CapoMaco]

I saw you so much at Dayton haha.

[charliebucket46]

[bunyancutincrew]

[delasam321]

[chipoto2]

[jskillet13913]

I literally just saw you at Franklin Central High School at the WGI Regionals two days ago. I'm a part of the Fishers Drumline and all my friends were totally in awe when you walked by and wanted your autograph haha spectacular solo man

[issy23s]

[uclabruinsgo1]

[Moobysnax]

Best name for a solo ever

[ghettttttto]

Best solo ever.

[tikiwildchild]

[picklepunk]

@tikiwildchild Because a falcon punch makes people shit themselves.

[SnareSmurf92]

first i was like...woah! then i was like...huh?! then i was like....holy crap!!...then i was all OMG! then .....WTF?! then the cycle repeated itself about three more times

[atomikfzr1]

[gorilladrummer123]

[Adventsky1]

[Adventsky1]

Just goes to show not all the best drummers come from Blue Devils (hahahaha)

[bltsponge]

Notes.

[killman51]

He came and did a clinic at my highschool about a year back. Excellent guy, amazing player. Surprisingly humble and shy in person, though that might have been because it was his first clinic. :P

[tonymontana1229]

You're the man.

[farmermunnett]

[Evanespant]

[bonestrpt]

[boriente]

@bonestrpt yes I did

[bonestrpt]

@boriente that was some awesome drumming, you guys shouldve won in my opinion.

[DieNaSty4me]

@bonestrpt ya but the guages were the size of a 6" shot drum

[boriente]

@Isntthisalreadytaken nope, just book reports.

[Ziabach]

FAAALLLlllllcccooonnnn........­.

[manchops2010]

Long Sound= :)

[Leotheninja]

[asiandrummer15]

Dude who did you march with this year, and are you going to march next year?

[boriente]

@asiandrummer15 I aged out in 2009

[asiandrummer15]

@boriente aw that stinks, but you've got your self some nice chops there. Wish i could get me some of them. I saw you guys in the lot in 09 and you guys were really good!

[Dudeyeah601129]

If i was gay I would wish you were gay too. No homo?

[icame2dance1]

@Dudeyeah601129 No homo.

[BabySteve47]

That beginning is tastey.

[codyvan92]

This guy is the master at dynamics its amazing!!

[santiagoverno]

[BillXHETASXCook]

@santiagoverno Nope. He aged out.

[immaturegamer]

Are you in DCI this year?

[pissedoffasmans]

This guy is hella raw, god damn

[lightningweasel]

4 against 3 at 3:01 is sick nasty lol

[Rpkist77]

@lightningweasel actually 3 on 2 but whatever.

[pkim9]

amazing solo. get more people in your room next time hahaha.

[chewlalumia]

that left shot at .24 was very nice. tasty

[r680187]

weird that this gave me goosebumps?

[billysboxers]

you baller, just threw in kije like it wasn't a big deal. haha awesome.

[BizzyTkiD]

Fastest hands I've ever seen.

[bendrumsalot415]

I like lower tunings, it shows how much MORE control the player has, even though the drums speak more at a mid tuning with a little bit of ring in it.

[S1lv3rdo7]

I like how his tricks added to his opening theme, instead of being his opening theme. Great rolls. Thank you for playing more then just drags, buzzes and double stroke rudiments. Killer chops, and actually had a musical theme throughout his solo. Awesome job.

[drumminlongboard]

hey man i looked for u on fb and i cant find you but i have some questions for you about this piece. my teacher found a copy of it and im trying to learn for my ninth grade solo & ensemble...

[bulletpain01]

Sick Samba at 2:34! Much big ups!

[meatwad314]

are you going to tech anywhere

[vodoodragono1]

You need more double bass in this solo. . .

[Oreocookie652]

these 4 minutes felt like 20 minutes thats how entertained i was!!

[xpmpjce21x]

@Oreocookie652 : holy shit! i realized that this solo was only four means after reading your comment! holy fuck this is a beautiful solo!

[leemcd56]

I think I've just been falcon punched...

[CShmyr]

He called this Falcon Punch? No wonder he won..

[TKDDrummerBoy2]

3:40..yes sir.

[killman51]

His girlfriend is a recent graduate of my high school, and she got him to come give our percussion section a clinic. He wrapped it up and played this solo (dropping a stick, even!) and then gave some lessons. I took one. He's a great guy, and even more impressive in person. Although, he has gained a beard and quite a few piercings since the time this video was made. :P

[thesyllekattacks]

All I have to say is huge props for naming a solo falcon punch, I had to rewind the solo like 30 seconds in cuz I was still laughing!

[Opieandchong]

LT. KIJE. I LOVE YOUUUU

[asiandrummer15]

I saw you when you guys came to Atlanta! You guys were great!!!

[boriente]

@JSUsnare3 I'm a fan of tuning higher than the drum is here, I just didn't want to touch it. Sometime this lower sound can mud-up the balance, making it harder to hear and align your notes vertically with the people around you.

[boriente]

@JSUsnare3 actually I did not intentionally tune the drum any particular way for this solo. I was the snare tuner for BlueStars and the night before my I&E we all changed heads. I simply did not change mine because I wanted to keep the same feel as I had been practicing on that week. The drum head I was using was a little worn, but felt great to play on. I did tune the snare drums at Stars higher than this, to help us hear clarity better. This was just an old head I didn't want to change

[Scammy2xWhammy]

This solo definitely lines up with Rasputin's Gold by Doctor P. Check it out.

[JBtenors08]

so i'm curious mr. oriente. what is your nationality?

great solo too.

[Allie13112]

Holy shit. I'm unworthy of drumming ever again.

[atomikfzr1]

gages ftw

[AdeyemiR]

SICK!!!!

[lukethaxton]

3:00 is my favorite part.

[snaregurl15]

[soccermucus91]

1:24 FTW. That visuals awesome.

[AjaxHammer6]

[FatGocks]

@AjaxHammer6 He is using Tom Aungst's.

[Avondre15]

[JonnyHammersticks]

The man likes his triple strokes.

[RufMixa247]

[JUSTJAY95]

[evesira]

[pureguy09]

[Snebasseor]

After watching this more than a few times, I'm just realizing how relaxed he really is while playing this.

[Snebasseor]

This isn't him...the guy in Rhythm X has a mustache

[boriente]

Hey guys, it is me. I'm marching with rhythm X this year. I grew a beard. Find me on facebook!

[drumminlongboard]

[cwk1417]

@boriente

[ChAuNcEy1993]

@boriente yeah, i saw plenty, But! i can do the same thing..when i think of dci, i think of someone with outstanding wrists that defy the laws of physics, not someone who sounds the same as my section leader..when i say rudimental, i mean i play all rudiments, and hybrids, do you play them all?

[Motowndrummer]

@boriente amen to beards...

[TheGetAtMeDawg]

@Snebasseor it's him...

[Mapexdrumskyle]

[DeerParkDrumline22]

Shyt son.

[NowKnowsForever]

Gotta love the faint "Whoa" at 1:06, think it was he only person in the audience left with their jaw still attached.

[gregoriosndrm88]

so basically if you have a god like size of a cock, and you lay it on top of your drum.... then you can win I&E..... may i be the first to say..... you should get laid for that solo!

[gregoriosndrm88]

wow.....watch a lot of youtube?.......

[splooie1990]

Dude, are you related to Obama? :) Seriously tho, good job!

[alwayzdrummin9790]
