Paul Hanson Guitar Center Drum Off Winner 2008

[TheCrazyDog1234]

@HaloDudeFromYak it's called breaking down the beat, and adding accelerandos, ritardandos, etc. If every piece of music was played to a straight time that never changed, music would be pretty boring.

[BarryKunz64]

VERY ORIGINAL,,, NO WONDER HE WON JEEEZ HE'S GOOD

[snareplaya15]

@BarryKunz64 thanks man that's my battery instructor.

[YawDraYajLeo]

wow this guy sucks, yea he definitely not that good, can't believe he won!

[snareplaya15]

@YawDraYajLeo stfu

[sneux66]

jojo mayer wannabe

[pandabutt16]

i bet the people who work there are laughing

[spitfiresr]

He plays like a highschool teacher drummer - Jerome Flood won 2008

[Imprettybad44]

@spitfiresr Correction, jerome flood won at the guitar center drum-off in LA in 2008. Paul Hanson won in Oxnard.

[spitfiresr]

@Imprettybad44 ohhh that's what it was!

[spitfiresr]

He didn't winn

[GaryNull]

this guy, and 90% of drummers are way overrated

[shol087]

This is amazing, no wonder this guy is the Guru of Groove!!

[TheMikoras]

yeah that was pretty painful.  I mean the drumming wasn't any good, but the guys fans hurt my ears with their piercing cheering. That guy could only have won if the contest was fixed.

[shootsbraw]

wow hes actually pretty bad lol

[General9313]

I don't about you guys, but I really like the solo... Nice groove...

[purplehalfstack]

hey! that purple marshall amp in the back is the same kind i got! got it at guitar center too

[freekpill2009]

he needs to practice with a metronome ive been drumming for three years and could put this boy to shame

[purplehalfstack]

same here

[Billy1232321]

thatt was more than just AVERAGE

[martelposey]

Yeah winning isnt everything its about what you do after you win this and that proves my point i havent heard much about him after he won this he wasnt breathtaking he was average.

[decentdrummer911]

I'm not saying this guy is a bad drummer, but this solo was boring as hell. Other drummers must have been bad for him to win.

[Flamsick]

This young man is certainly not a bad drummer.  Certainly not the worst ever heard by any means. But it's true Beau would have taken him to the cleaners. I've been trying to get Beau to enter one of the contests for years.

[cesaralexis73]

yeah right. those women in the back don't know crap about drums. the guy is ok, but i can't believe he won! aren't there any good drummers in oxnard? what's happening to the world!? this is by far the worst drum solo i've heard. sorry, but is the truth.

[beau96080]

if this guy won, i should have played... and i never brag about myself.

[bonzo3231]

You would have killed this guy if you entered Beau.

[shol087]

@beau96080 wow talented and humble...

[Imprettybad44]

@beau96080 oxymoron.

[beau96080]

@Imprettybad44 I know.. looking at that comment now, i wish I had never typed that. sometimes I should just keep my thoughts to myself.

[snareplaya15]

@beau96080 yea that's my battery instructor your talking about, stfu

[trumpetdude510]

@snareplaya15 there's no use getting upset about people bagging on your battery instructor. The simple fact is that people have their own opinions and if they choose to express it on the internet, its nothing to really get offended over.

[beau96080]

@snareplaya15 looks like I am not the only one that was told to "stfu". what is a battery instructor?

[trumpetdude510]

@beau96080 a battery instructor is a coach of a highschool indoor drumline. more specifically, buena high school's drumline. don't take snareplaya15's comments to heart. he gets hot headed about paul really easily because paul is an idol of his.

[JT1237]

Isnt the point of a drum set to hit the drums not do fancy tricks with his sticks i mean hes shit id like to see him sound good with no gay ass tricks

[DDTdrummer]

this man deserves five stars. Very impressive!

[ThemLizards]

I see how everyone is saying how bad this guy is... I am not afraid to say that i think he is god damned amazing. If you dont watch the video, and just listen to it, then you can truly hear how good he really is.

[JLD1964]

Dude! What cymbals did you use on the drum set? They sounded nice and sweet!

[whitneyslover123]

ok so wat hes got crazy hands skills but he barley even playeed anything interesting the boy creamed him by a long shot people are crazy now adays good god

[spikeman23]

this guy one? wtf? the other kid was alot better than him

[tomaspepino]

or maybe this camera audio sucks.

[scrambledeggs26]

Not bad... but not a guitar center winner in my book.

[xcantxbexsavedx2]

no way this guy one

[dakoko23]

he sounds like this is his first time ever playing drums

[KingCodimus]

I don't really like drum performances like this. I love drums, but these shows lack good beat. The scientific definition of music is "sounds with an obvious beat."(in an nutshell.) I don't mean to hate, but these kinds of things just seem like random noise to me.

[AmazrnthaBlazr]

you sir, are an idiot. he definitely stays on a beat in every section of this he performs...

[VashTacular]

nahh he stays on beat. i see what your sayn though. a lot of drum solos are kind of beats that you cant get into or even feel. it does sound random sometimes, like the a lot of those hardcroe drummers with double base, it just sounds like theyre just beating as fast as they can with just a simple beat. but thats why this guy won because he acually has good beats in his solo, not just really fast standard wierd beats

[nikmonsta]

Scientific Definition? Honestly?

[hughman174]

my bad, realized he won in 06 after i typed

[hughman174]

i still think Daniel Rodriguez who won in 07 is better

[DieNaSty4me]

wow way better than the 2002 solo! lol! stay on drumset

[verveshawn]

sorry...but leigh blew you away!!...boring solo....ya.

[EIW345]

Thats was awesome! Good luck on yur journey!

[VadersButler]

awesome man

[djwatts1969]

Way to kick it brother!
