If you're 15 now, then you're probably a freshman or sophomore by now. What high school do you go to, because i would really enjoy seeing you perform in person. I'm a freshman too, but I'm pretty good so i was made section leader for my percussion and drum line section. I actually love practicing so if you have any tips on what you do to become as amazing as you are they would really help thanks :)
@DCIdrumdude Drum shells are sound chambers. Ventilation/them square hole thingies make the drum louder because it gives the sound energy a place to escape, as opposed to just being trapped between two drum heads with tiny or no ventilation that's typically found on a snare drum. Free floating head would not be loud and there would be no bottom head/snare response because the energy would just fly out err-where.
Dang cuzo... Been watching since you where 8 now you are a young man and you are still amazing. I mean there some ticks but you have to be a professional to know where, lol... Keep up the good work Jay. Stay in contact if you need some advice and pointers dwardvhspercussion@yahoo.com. Also, I'm tranning my son now well I've been trainning him since he was 4. He's 8now. But what drum crop you going for if you decided to go?
Does he use the traditional size of marching sticks? When I was that young I doubt my hands/fingers would have been big enough to play with those types of sticks. He has got really great chops- way better than mine. also is it just me, or is the tuning sound a lot more erm buzzier(if that's a word), I am sure you adjusted it for indoor use right?
Our lead snare drummer does a lot of back sticking like the guy does in this video. Although he does it at a much faster pace so it's slightly more impressive.
how did u guys get this solo? i saw danny raymond play this exact same thing in a vic firth clinic...i see u took out the push-pull technique in the one handed sixteenth note section...
I hear critique on this performance and I could probably offer one or two but I wasn't doing that well at 13. I agree with the advice don't get cocky.... be proud of your ability but always strive to improve.. Be open to tips from others and take them into consideration. One person may have a tip that can help you to achieve a new level . I can tell by watching this kid he is being trained well and has a good technique Keep it up.
Definitely a talent beyond just speed. Amazing rhythms and articulation. I would pay to see this live! I can't believe this hasn't gone Viral. Does he have his own you tube channel, I'd love to subscribe.
You need to go march a great drum corp!! Like BD or santa clara. I marched bluecoats for two years and came back playing better than i ever thought i could.
@jonah12321 This is Jay. Yes, there is a lot of dirt in it. That was the best that I was able to do given circumstances, plus that is really tough solo. I had fun with it and the crowd enjoyed it. Thanks, man!
@oldchops dude you are awesome, dont even look at these hateful comments. i think you are fantastic and i know you mustve been practacing really hard to get where you are today!
@oldchops yo bro this sick!!! im 17 and have been playing snare for 12 years and i learned how to do this solo when i was 15....this is hella sick though keep up the good work bro :)
I marched center snare for the colts in 08 and then for the cavaliers in 09 and to any of you nitwits saying Jay cant play on any competitive dci corps, then you are naive and need to practice.
@TheIceTitan Being that Jay was 13 years old during this performance, I am quite sure that he has the potential to be "center snare" for the Blue Devils at some point within the next 9 or so years (from the date of this performance), if that was his goal. LOL! It is possible for some 13 year old kid out there that has not even started to play yet to be "center snare" for the Blue Devils within the next 9 years! LOL!
@Monst3r199 You can pick up a "stock" version of a marching snare on ebay at a reasonable price. The last one I bought was a Pearl EFX in "like new" condition. I got the drum, harness, and hard shell padded case for $250. The drum in this video has been customized and looks great! Personally, I haven't found modern marching snare drums to sound good with my drum kits. Great for drum corps, and for dexterity excersizes, but too much crack to translate well into a drumset, in my opinion.
Yeah I've played snare 5 and a half years and you're really good better than me and most people on YouTube are not as goo as me you have some major talent and should look in to making you're life as a musicion
Jay you have some major talent in percussion, and ur only 13!? Geez I can only imagine the level u will be in 5-10 years! I've been playing an acustic set for almost 3 years and not afraid to admit that you are better than me at the level u are now keep it up the good work and dedication, and I'll be purchacing tickets to the concert of the band you make famous! Rock it!
Jay, you're a great drummer! It's very difficult to make a snare solo entertaining and not just chops. It takes a sense of humor and needs to just be fun at times. Its VERY easy to be anonymous and criticize too. You seem to deal with the pressure well. JUST HAVE FUN.. Congrats!
I marched snare in the Velvet Knights in 94 and split the center in 95 under Tom Float and Paul Rennick. My HS program was not so good and it took me three years of auditioning at VK before I made the line. I competed
So, I'm kind of curious as to who "oldchops" is in relation to this Jay. Jay is absolutely amazing and, 13 or 30, has an incredible gift. However, in these posts, I don't get to hear Jay's voice, only this third party known as oldchops, whose comments about Jay's incredible talent seem patronizing and bordering on abusive. Let this kid breathe and enjoy the amazing gift he has rather than posting his videos on Youtube and publicly criticizing him. This kind of pressure will only lead to cracks
Hi!-- no strength in seperate, individual seperations, of seperate Rudimentary skills.... Winner's, in the past-- started a roll with a flamn- Ishowed. Flam triplets was not shown; nor was that shown artistic capabilility.. Neither was shown any "Creative flair" !! If capable-- anyone who has chops, could have done that!-- NO excellence required.- My students can be, and will be better than that!!-- Go figure!!!-- Johnny!
why dont you let him do open class corps? the first corps i was in had many middle schoolers and lower level high school students. its great experience
dang your son is really good! does he know how to march? if he can march as good as he plays he cud go center snare im trying to make it to center snare next year im a freshman right now.
@gagafan219 Okay, we'll keep him grounded! For this performance he just wanted to wear a suit and hat and do a...let's say "cool" performance to entertain the audience. He actually wanted to sing a song instead of drum, but his singing is still...let's say "suspect." LOL!
@oldchops good answer, my friend!- J- DAMN Good, but not as good as Kalkoffen- back in the 70-s!! My instructor .later was known as the man who left my drumline-"Troopers, D and C- when we needed him most-- just before Pre-lims, at Pennsyvania- 1976!!! He bailed on our drumline- and left us alone to finish the season on our own- by ourselves!!! We still finished12th! Just to let you know- Kalkoffen has no honour
@Sebastianstripper I understand most of what you are saying. Yes, he is progressing a little slower as time goes by- that applies to everyone eventually. Yes, some of his "drumline bros can catch up fast." Some already have, some will soon, and some won't, but most are still a little older than Jay. I have to disagree with your comment, "...what a shame." It is a good thing to see players progress, and even catch up to or surpass Jay's level of play.
No offence but as i commented in the other video you really should stop flaring to much (again flare meaning showing off). It is making u play dirty, sure your not bad but it is pretty dirty in the parts where u start backsticking as most people will probubly notice.
...either that or it's as though the parent is saying, "oh you think AT's good? He's not even warmed up!" or "wait til you see what he can REALLY do!" All I'm saying is that I'm a performer and perfotmers know that you'll never play at 100% every single time. Just continue working with him and let the kid's talent speak for itself. It speaks volumes alone already.
I guess I'm tripping because the kid is frigging awesome....but every other sentence in the description is; "he still has to work on this" or "he's not warmed up anymore" or "he still. has SO much to work on." I know that you should never get complacent, but it almost sounds like an overbearing parent who is saying, "I apologize. He's gifted, but he's capable of SO much more. We promise we'll do better with him." I dunno....*shrug*
just a couple things, BEADS. they're like super far apart most of the time so keep them closer together it makes it look way more professional and it helps the sound too. also keep the taps lower. and that's pretty much it hahaha great job!
Man oh man its a cool thing at 16 almost 17 to see a kid with that much talent on snare and any other instruments he plays... i still remember stumbling over his first tornado jay video. Keep up the good work kid.
Damn you're choking up on the right hand stick wayyyyyy too much

@jumpajulia It wasn't competitive. They all just performed for the entertainment of the audience.

No offence but as i commented in the other video you really should stop flaring to much (again flare meaning showing off). It is making u play dirty, sure your not bad but it is pretty dirty in the parts where u start backsticking as most people will probubly notice.

...either that or it's as though the parent is saying, "oh you think AT's good? He's not even warmed up!" or "wait til you see what he can REALLY do!" All I'm saying is that I'm a performer and perfotmers know that you'll never play at 100% every single time. Just continue working with him and let the kid's talent speak for itself. It speaks volumes alone already.

I guess I'm tripping because the kid is frigging awesome....but every other sentence in the description is; "he still has to work on this" or "he's not warmed up anymore" or "he still. has SO much to work on." I know that you should never get complacent, but it almost sounds like an overbearing parent who is saying, "I apologize. He's gifted, but he's capable of SO much more. We promise we'll do better with him." I dunno....*shrug*

just a couple things, BEADS. they're like super far apart most of the time so keep them closer together it makes it look way more professional and it helps the sound too. also keep the taps lower. and that's pretty much it hahaha great job!

Man oh man its a cool thing at 16 almost 17 to see a kid with that much talent on snare and any other instruments he plays... i still remember stumbling over his first tornado jay video. Keep up the good work kid.
