Solo Performance - on drums: Josh Devine DoT Contest08

[paddy689909]

Not doubting his ability and he's tight as fuck. But it's amazing what a double bass drum pedal can do to make an ordinary tom fill sound 10 times better.

[Bring1DtoSweden]

I watched this because of one direction.

[annayay1]

this guy is now touring with one direction and skepta, wowsers

[ljgbmx]

Did he win???????

[Insaniac92]

Bear in mind he was 17 at the time guys...Considering how far he got up against those who are even 5 years above his age he did pretty damn well!

[SessionElite]

too much bass meets tom fills.. I would like to hear him play some beats, or perhaps some 7/8 or 5/8 to keep it grooving.

credit though :)

[awesomesuperbeast3]

hes got skills though

[awesomesuperbeast3]

i know its supposed to be all technical and stuff, but omg. take away his double and hes got nothin on the rest of the competitors i bet. the solo gets boring a minute through

[anarcy7777u]

is this in america? well over here in uk we have the young drummer of the year comp instead, only thats 4 16 and under

[drummerberni1]

@anarcy7777u this season was in frankfurt am main ....in germany

[GrizDrummer25]

ya he does rely a little too much on the double pedal, but still awesome drummer and beautiful kit none the less.

[redheaddrumm3r]

was cool but was relying heavily on flams and good sounding drums.

[ETONG49]

it just wasnt that original. Mainly all double bass and single strokes.

[TJDFlinn]

how old is this kid??? lol

[mygnrlp]

check out the really old video on my page of my old band playing and you'll see him on the drums and I am the gay sitting down on the left hand side of the screen haha

[mygnrlp]

I used to play in a band with this guy but he went on tour to America so he could never make practice so we split up but now we're back together lol

[Borninabucket1]

When is he going to start the grooving?

[MrPaiste]

maybey he isnt good but as far as i know he had won the competition and thats a great thing

[santykins]

he's 7.

[kylemaco]

@santykins  erm try 17 ( at the time )

[darthjoey13]

How old is this dude? I could play most of this if I had a double bass, which I don't right now, but I'm 15.

[joegritschacher]

I'm 15 too

and i'm able to play this stuff too

:-)

[darthjoey13]

I saw your video. Damn. And congratulations. I'm freaking jealous. My technique isn't exactly on par with my ideas but it's catching up in a short time. What do you recommend for technique practice?

[joegritschacher]

practise rudiments

practise the stonekiller

strengh your wrists

practise on pillows

by the ways...thanks for your comment

:-)

[Tam4Drumm3r]

Dont write, let us see your skills...and then we will see who is better or could make this stuff too ;)

[mcoteteu]

muito doido,toca demais!

[eggracer3k]

newby here , but really good solid solo.

[break2k]

,.!.,

[RythmnMaster2009]

CLASS 5*****

[airsoftguitardrum900]

hes really not that great

[joegritschacher]

always the same stuff....

i'd like to see him playing hand and foot combinations ...

[FCMusicProject]

I've noticed that a lot of drummer that do solos like this RARELY use the floor toms.

[JohnWCreasy2]

it was really well

but take him away the second bass pedal and he will die ;)

[DaDenni]

yeah, maybe..

[MegaLunaman]

@JohnWCreasy2 fuck yeah.that mothafucka should die !

[rstroker530]

im assuming those are remo heads?

[richardscunningham]

just gets a bit boring towards the end

[StarOceanBoy]

yeah, same feeling here :P

[lessthanleo]

JD would rinse all you boys up who are saying he's no good...

[darthjader0000]

the solo is just about speed. not really about technicality

[ledzeppd]

I went to school with him

[Rilycoe]

yes it was a rhetorical question.. p.s (right arm)

[Rilycoe]

what the fuck does he do 1:30?!?

[luisete993]

jaja he´s going to do something with is left arm

[RDrumsGuitar]

too much double ppedal i personally think

[strausenberger]

nothin out of this world..to be honest i cant do that but comparin to other drummers its actually nothin i havent seen before..mike portnoy can play that with one hand..but he is defintely a good drummer! i wish there was a rule to make this solos with one pedal only then u can see who really plays..

[mycrazk]

hehe thats my moms step brothers son!!!!

josh...hez an amazing drummer!!!!!!

love you josh!!!!

[sidneyblair]

Double pedal = crutch

[zwrojim]

how old is he??

[Anton2plankton]

reminds me of joey jordison solo:

2 on top 2 on botton

4 on top 2 on botton

only...

[rafaelbuddha]

bored...this solo it is a copy...simon phillips, mike portnoy etc...

[lessthanleo]

fag

[nhcharp324]

vadrum is a better drummer , he should of done a better solo

[shirukume]

actually in my opinion this is far better than vadrucci's final performance, at least it has quite a bit of variance to it whereas vadrucci's was pretty much just all quads and the same rhythmic pattern

[jjdrummer108]

so true. i was completely disappointed, hes so creative how can his solo be so lame? lol

[pistol4ever]

did you watch this solo....very repetitive...but i agree vadrums was not up to par..

[cubine]

I heard absolutely nothing unique in this performance. Boring.

[atom23]

very nice but lacks a little bit of groove

[MikeMoneyMiami]

kid must jerk off in 2 seconds

[Exophobia]

wheres the snare accents, he only plays fast...

[ddamm27913]

hes got the skill by far but neeeeds to learn to plan a solo better

[MarijnvdZaag]

What exactly are their ratings based on? Not on how many hits they made per second I hope.

[kaljam]

Probably a good deal "entertainment" value too :P

[ScAtMaN888]

ma per favore...sarà bravo ma non ha uno stile suo...ha copiato quasi tutto da simon phillips..allora ci posso andare anch'io a questi contest...

[bamidon361]

Who won this contest?

[CzarCustom]

josh devine

[Drumguy1988]

He's really good. DAM!

But To me he sounds like every other drummer out there. Not my style if drumming.

[thrasher12345]

the trick from 1:31-1:32 i cannot figure out its botthering me

[DrPhlip]

It seems like it's just the obvious: he is bouncing the stick between the tom and the snare almost like a diddle offset by doubles on bass.

[drummingdude92]

fucking crazy shit

[AndyWells06]

thats just INSASNE how fast his hands are moving...

[zzzzzushi]

dang how does he do that tom thing w/ one hand???

[mattwg2009]

scrapes with his one hand, and then his feet on the bass drum

[sk8terjedi]

That was sick...yup a neil peart in the makings...= )

[dtdrummerlady]

I don't think Neil Peart can play the things this young guy can!!! Neil Peart is not that good. He just has a big kit and he fit in with the Rush thing, and people think he is the man.HA

[123456TRAVIS]

hes fast...and.......thats pretty much all i heard

[edwin437]

:55 to 1:25 coordination

[Xerox20077]

I love this guy

[jungmans90]
