Choppin' After School

[OcoeeDrums]

I hate how these people online who think they're drum gods get on here and automatically start hating just because a kid is playing with a strap.... Ya, his drum's a little low, and its an old school technique, but his sound is pretty friggin clean. Good for him if that's what works! Get over yourselves and open your minds! Good job, kid.

[Grasshopper110]

thats a lot of dislikes...it's not like u suck or anything either, sounds like just some haters on here with no youtube video

[jwismillion]

Why so many dislikes? Our snare drummers can barely play paradiddles xD (but we still get superior).

[drummeryang97]

damn this is amazing

[Thegoodmusicianguy]

Your right hand is too french and it is making you slice, you can fix this by raising your drum. nice playing

[fchguy]

OH YEAH! got that drum tha strap nigga!

[ProfessorBj2]

smh ppl always hatin....

[drumlineBass1fornow]

this is pretty good you got some chops on you keep it up

[SansWheaties]

I honestly don't know why anyone posts any videos of themselves doing anything with music anymore. Its all just an invitation to get hate comments. Shame.

[himynameisatticus]

stick heights

[kwinmann]

that is crap bro dude u accesnts need to be less vissual and more audio

[TheDragonmaster18]

@kwinmann its showstyle its suppose to be that way

[me2237247]

at the end, he should of put both sticks in one hand, then dropped them. Great job by the way :)

[littletaterdumplin]

the top rated commenter confuses me... He's definitely doing something wrong... His control is terrible, show band or not that was pretty poo-ish...

[TheDragonmaster18]

@littletaterdumplin this is showstyle drumming. this is suppose to be. we dont play the corps style drumlines do well at least most of us dont.

[nunojac]

@TheDragonmaster18 stop saying its supposed to be that way just cause its "show style" ive seen good show style drumlines that are clean and they have much better quality playing than this

[TheDragonmaster18]

@nunojac yes that is true bu most showstyle drumlines that stick to tradional play play everything open. im in a showstyle drumline. the real showstyle drumlines are down south. like texas, louisiana and missippi and just about all play the way this dude is in the video. look up jackson state university drumline for an example

[MrHeavanell]

Sorry I couldn't watch the drumming your left pinky was in the way

[freakontime15]

@MrHeavanell wtf

[MrHeavanell]

@freakontime15 what? his left pinky was all over the place

[freakontime15]

@MrHeavanell ohh i see what you mean, i thought you were talking about the guy with the camera

[wagsdrummer92]

not bad on the Triple stroke Rolls

[vivendonolimete]

ludwig marching snare?

[ajcf1995]

@vivendonolimete im pretty sure that is an Andante. i could be wrong though.

[TheDumbdrum]

nice tap rolls. lol

[perugia6]

the drum seems too low for him



[mikers3000]

what chops?

[CorporalSalty]

man, i wish i could play random diddles and accents.

[thatseanperson]

I didn't know Bboy Casper was a snare drummer o_O

[Idn42]

Dude the hat...

[SnareForLife1995]

YO, raise you drum a little it might help

[muzicluver561]

garbish

[TheguywithaAccount]

im glad im not show style lol

[skateifyful]

Tighten your snare, dude. Sounds like piss.

[mrjangomushiturner]

@skateifyful YES! Every video i see now has a flat snare in it... is this just the way Americans tune theirs?

[The1andonlybonzobozo]

0:19 That was one fat ass shot >.>

[joewhiteguy11]

You should work on your flams dude, but other than that, it sounds pretty legit. Personally, I like a higher pitched snare because it just sounds better to me lol. Go learn "book reports", they're super fun lol.

[loltheasshole]

eww nasty ass snare sound

[RussiaZone]

constructive criticizum, you have a lot of upper body movement, and you hands are all over the place, also if you rais your drum you can get that left sholder lean you got going

[BSN117]

LOLOLOL, your strap is on wrong. the hook goes on one of the rings above the clip. the drum is supposed to be higher, and tilted.

[WTFINSM]

He put the snare down there to cover up his lil dick

[Wadupable]

if you raised your drum some, you wouldn't have to lean over to play

[TheDragonmaster18]

@Wadupable i agree it would help if he did raise the drum up but that's not the southern sty drumming way. a lot of showstyle drumming requires more arm than wrist so that's why they wear them that low. but other than that he sounded great

[Wadupable]

@TheDragonmaster18 I'm a showstyle drummer in the south and i use more arm than wrist when i play, but i still have my drum at my waist because when i do have to use more wrist it makes the transition from using wrist to using arm easier.

[strangedrummer757]

@Wadupable

Then he wouldn't have enough swag

[mikers3000]

@Wadupable no man, it's how a Funky D plays snare.....

[GuitarGuy22221]

@Wadupable Yeah bro the snare's really low on you.

[dopebeats027]

Sorry man, not trying to dis on your rolls, but why dont you try to play some seriuos notes.

[charliemeadors]

is he playing or going into to cardiac arrest?

[Oddball941]

OUTA TUNE DRUM = VOID!!!!

[mikerussell]

your snare sounds like someone driving over rocks!

[sbon2]

im glad my school has acual snair harneses cuz if i wor that it would be aqward...

(im a gurl)

[TheBumnut69]

@sbon2

spelled AWKWARD wrong....

[planbskater565]

@TheBumnut69 she spelled a lot of stuff wrong hahaha

[TheOMFGYES]

pretty easy

[jziwillkill]

diddle diddle diddle then a hit... COOL!!!!!! 

[buzzcutjoe]

I can bounce my sticks as well.

[SansWheaties]

is this middle school?

[JoeDolen]

stand up straight

[bleedskateboarding]

I'm sorry bro. It just be the snare head being loose but ugh those rolls and diddles are not clean at all

[Germany981]

ok he is really good but he did the same thing over and over change it up a little

[JOSHAPPLE101]

You look like your trying to climax when you play.

[77Menace2Society77]

Drum looks kinda low kid also get more control on that left hand alot of arm flappin n not alot of wrist otha den dat nice shyt n sexy ass lookin snare

[bitemymiss]

You are trying to hard friend.

[Sn4re23]

Im embarassed for this kid.....

[kevinhall0056]

DAMN DUDE THAT DRUM SOUNDS SO FUCKING GOOD.

[drumline96]

this kid is terrible.

[MaGiiKxX724]

Look how focused his moppy hair is :D

[flatron61900]

wats the name ov the very first cadence at the beginning wit the pic

[yamisux]

cymcapt? yea you play like a cymbal player

[bryceflor89]

terrible

[ixiBoneCrusheRixi]

Raise the snare and stand up straight...

[thisstinks92]

slicing, leaning, whole body shaking.

what ever happened to technique?

[griffinthe]

weaaaaaak as hell bruh

[ethan7447]

So if I want to be a " Funky D", all I have to do is own a shitty drum, play some rolls, and look like a queer? Sounds easy!

[osterianio]

@ethan7447 please don't insult the drum. my school marches ludwig snares and before you laugh, i've tuned mine so that it sounds like a sFz. it's not the drum's fault, it's the person who tuned it.

[charliemeadors]

flams and rolls i am impressed lmao..

[0SukMunky0]

Why is he leaning? Doesn't help much...

[drumzilla0]

That snare sounds sooooo bad. It's way too loose.

[nbaballin4dawin]

lmfao douchebag with your backwards hat

[chewlalumia]

he could be good, get a good teacher homie you need a little guidance ...

[DwRUMMER93]

pretty awful

[Skankmaster90]

So...Funky D lets the snare hang too low, grows a jew fro, and then fails miserably at playing. what a piece of fuckin trash.

[MrJoshuaPea]

the snare drum is too low thats y u sound like shit im not try yo be mean

[bishopman100]

haha, you look like what you're doing is actually good! oh, what a terrible way to play snare. learn the grip, cut your hair, and get a real marching harness, not that sling crap

[FredrickUniversity]

@bishopman100 That is a real marching harness. you MARCH with those. now, if your talking about slack corp bands that think walking like a duck passes as marching then gtfo. Because carriers are the gayest thing man..

[bishopman100]

@FredrickUniversity hahaha, you think you're so tough. Get a haircut, raise up that snare, put on a REAL harness. and I'll show you a real snare playing, it's called the Concord Blue Devils Corps A. that's real playing for you

[FredrickUniversity]

@bishopman100 yeah, if you call real playing playing random shit in no order sounding like a damn 3 year old trying to play a drum. Rudiments are for practicing and solos and shit. Groove cadences kill rudimentary cadences any day.

[rockthetenors]

why dont u take the drum head off ur damn trashcan jackass

[SnoopyHdawg]

I'm jealous of your triple stroke rolls but you need to lift that snare more:)

[SixStars3300]

you look like a robot, loosen up, and stop "choppin" and start playing

[revenger102]

Accents, Double strokes thats all i hear

[bubba1e]

ill scrape yo shit..

[austindavis18]

i like it, but i dont like the ringing of that snare. and even though your playing some high accents. watch your left hand. its starting to fly.

[owassodrumline11]

go die. but i like your walmart snare!

[TrillxEmory]

its funny how yall hating on this kid and he's just doing his thing.

And he plays for a show style band so what all styles of drumming should be respected its not like hes doing anything wrong.

For a bunch of drummers some of yall acting like douches.

Good job kid keep it up.

[sithconsole]

@TrillxEmory playing shitty is not a style of drumming!

[TheDragonmaster18]

@sithconsole he's not playing shitty. just because it's not the drum corps way doesnt mean its bad. this is the shostyle way of drumming. be opened minded. there is no right or wrong or correct way of playing drums. and cant you tell he wasnt serious at all

[kylosme]

@TrillxEmory if you really want i'll point out all the things hes doing wrong.

[memphisbassss]

@TrillxEmory i dont dislike him. i do however dislike how people in show band think its the 'coolest' thing in the world. a corps drummer could do exactly what the best show drummer could. i dont hate on the player but the style and mentality incorporated with it.

[Broons2112Bane]

@memphisbassss I agree with you.

[Theshamham]

@TrillxEmory drummers are generally douchbags...

[Myron556]

You suck some serious BALLZ!!!!!!

[budwayz]

Oh man im cool i wear my hat backwards and let my "drum hang low"

[XsgtjonesX]

wow i dont see any chops bruh. but i do see a hella lot of arm

[idrumfofun1100]

I love how there was absolutely NOTHING technical about that until like the very end, when you played flams.

Technically, it was good, it just wasn't impressive.

AT ALL.

[thepostman95]

show lines, what a joke.

[thepostman95]

blahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!­!!

[crazyman82096]

dude this iz fukin horrible, just accents and diddles, and why iz ur drum set so fukin low, holy schitt

[mikers3000]

@crazyman82096 It's not a drumset, dumb ass

[crazyman82096]

@mikers3000 stfu retard i meant that his drum is PLACED low i think i would know dumb ass im the best snare player in my fukin school jesus christ try thinking about sumin b4 u shit urself ok?

[ConklingDrums]

This is the year 2010, they have things called drum lessons and carriers.

[BvBFilms]

that is worse than the 6 year old choppin' out

[TcSnare123]

is this supposed to be good or something

[sorealcru09]

how duz da strap go on da drum? is there like a latch or sumthin?

[mtdukefan30]

this isnt very good...its just diddles and accents. maybe a flam or two.

[dakotra99]

boooooooooooooo

[dakotra99]

why the hell do you idiots call it choppin first of all and second you should both cut off your hands andstay away from any thing with a drum head because you both suck and dont deserve to live. show bands are useless why dont you watch some dci stuff and try to "chop" along with that ya losers

[filiptis69]

it sounds alright now...but when they all play it sounds like shit! clean it up show bands!

[chsdrums012]

Wow. You should audition for cadets!

[dakotra99]

@chsdrums012 hahahaha

[mkultra12973]

nice nylon strap dude it's called a carrier

[flyinhawaiian124]

just diddles and an occasional flam?

[PogoPantheon]

[snare4lyfe08]

u would come to the south and say that yuud get yo ass whooped

[PogoPantheon]

@snare4lyfe08 i live in North Carolina, jackass.

[PogoPantheon]

@PogoPantheon and even then, my high school is the only school in our county who's a competition band.

[snare4lyfe08]

@PogoPantheon pussy wat school u go to

[PogoPantheon]

@snare4lyfe08 no offence, but i'd rather not let my actions reflect my school, so i'm going to refrain from telling.

[snare4lyfe08]

@PogoPantheon yuu just dont want to get yo ass roasted

[schoorlman]

it sounds ight but that isnt chops keep your wrist tight and quit playing monkey arms the faster you can move your wrist the more chops but it wasnt bad better than some of these wanna be's

[mucushrapnel]

i wonder how it feels to be such a douche

[d1a2r3i4u5s6]

boy he sounds like them alabama state dudes!!!.. choppin!!!!!

[Dillionharris]

Holy shit that snare sounds so good, how do you do it? Loosen some of the lugs on both heads? And just take some out completely? GOD DAMN! TEACH ME PLEASE WOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Fuckin' tool

[SnareTard]

snare too low and your technique kinda sucks from it...

[lilrocho777]

yo u play ur drum mad low

[muzikgeec86]

I'm sorry but you weak as hell!!! Quit playing doubles all the time get some hybrids in that snare.

[TheColbles2009]

Crank up that bottom head, fix posture and bam. You'll be an awesome snare drummer with a good snare sound :)

[chadterry2]

althought it was some wat good...TECHNIQUE my friend thats where u struggle work on that man..

[Poptartdrummer]

im sorry bro but fix ur basics shit before u play harder stuff

[snare4lyfe08]

yo rudimental game is jank!....(wack)...i would roast the brand off that drum

[MehsterChief]

your description made me rate 1*. or else it prolly woulda been 2*.

[zexolus]

what drum brand is the snare? it looks nice.

[lipz011]

@zexolus they have ludwig's......

[changbang412]

sweet taps, bro.

[griffinthe]

fucking tool

get the fuuuuuuuuck out faggot

[ramsay2113]

arent you a hardass

ya bro lets go chop it up after school bro

douche

[aosborne678]

@ramsay2113 hey paulie, dont forget to throw some fist pumpin in there...GTL!!!!!!!

[ApollosAria00]

i agree, wat a douche

[hartagram07]

douche

[misterfutureboy]

Mean lean to the left. and it looks like your snare was tooooo low and hendering your paying.

[albanybestdrumline]

ikr about the lean the snare jus low like that cause the way his strap is strapped up

[ircool123]

why is his snare so low? he can barely reach it

[Bladeboy311]

Because that's how all the cool kids play.

[slav32th3gr1nd]

watch your heights, play in front of a mirror if you can and dont use so much arm other than that good job

[zbode]

mkae sure you more of your fingers instead of your arms and wrist

[lolpwn6969]

axtually at the speed he's going u should use ur arm to put pressure on the fulcrum creating faster rebound. when u use your fingers ur stick comes to a complete stop at the end of each double stroke. useing the arm and pressure tech. ( not real name) u keep ur momentum

[becomealive]

You move too much.

And stand up straight.

[budwayz]

snare sounds soooo wet

[texashorns76]

You look like a douche bag.

[hartagram07]

thank you i was about to say that lol

[hmatson10]

doubles at 0:22 are to open

[SilverRegiment08]

So when they called you funky d i think you guys took it as a good thing. its not. its bad.

[TruthDrummer65]

crappy snare dirty

[ZacceusTheGreat]

Stick control, wrist movement and a metronome... work on obtaining these things...

[snaregurl15]

How a Funky D' plays snare?? so basically like total shit? ok i get it

[Brashearbulls1]

to much arm movement dude its all in the wrists! but still for a white boy u got some talent

[MrCORED]

i agree there is too much arm movement but in double strokes it isnt ment to be played with ur wrists they are ment to be played with a bit of arm movement aswell

[ztbhooah09]

Have some humility, I'm better than that but don't make videos of myself playing. Plays sloppy

[icerider606]

im sorry but this sucks im in JR HIGH and im in the HIGHSCHOOL MARCHING BAND GO FIGURE YOU SUCK

[PyroMan3]

wtf is chopping?

[Darkshade773]

........Sloppy

[samsungfan1041]
