Tim Olson - Tornado Snare Solo at Holiday Concert 08

[ahato]

did Tim use marching sticks or concert sticks?

[Theshiggityshwa]

god, I wish I could do rolls like that. I've always had a hard time with the more technical stuff like Paradiddles... For me though, It's innovation over influence.

Nice job! I played tornado myself for an S&E contest. It's not easy. You did good here though. It was very steady and flowed nicely. try relaxing the left hand and turn that wrist up a little more. you looked kinda tense in that third part with the drags. again, dude, nice job.

Great job. I played 'Tornado' when I was in high school- I could never get it up to that tempo, though. I was very impressed- keep it up. Have you ever considered auditioning for DCI?

[timeroominot]

Thanks a lot. Well I've heard a little about DCI here and there. But I've never really stopped to consider it too much. Usually I'm so busy over summers that it'd be tough to pull off... but who knows?

[steffanan]

Very good. You put on a very good show. but havent you heard playing traditional can screw up your muscles? lol jk obviously. anyways that was really awesome! rock on

[thomasbowersox]

That's amazing, I'm a freshman in high school right now but I'm gonna try and learn that for junior year. this year I'm workin on "stompin through the barline" and "samba-ly" (a drumset solo)

[natnmelissa]

Nat thinks you are the greatest drummer she's ever heard. She was smiling the whole time you were playing!!! Way to go Uncle Tim!

[capeman98]

truly amazing tim that was awsome, i only wish i could be that good  that piece was way better in the theatre though, it gave the impression of a tornado wreaking havoc, really moving five stars!

[carolyncandis]

You were really amazing, Tim! I didn't know you were THAT good. :)
