Brian Banegas snare solo

[Evildoggee]

im hard.

[Teajayjee]

Like a typewriter

[cwk1417]

I know it's not really about the scores, but what did he get? he deserves a high placement for the amount of control and maturity of sound...

[hx403]

Yeh, he slowed down a little around 1:15...just kidding, just kidding!!! Serious brilliant, and around 3:16 to conclusion just spectacular!! Good stuff Brian!

[spstarks]

i LOVE that snare sound!

[buzzcutjoe]

his taps are SO LOUD. I LOVE IT

[crazyuki13]

hold on brian. you never told me you actually MADE phantom's 08 line. you just talked about it during all days. wtf!!!!!! thats crazy as hell!

[Leotheninja]

whoa straight up great minds think alike,i have thought about incorporating a stick trick like the one at 1:23 involving 3 sticks like that

[mygarage95]

Ummm... Do they write their own music?

[gpdrums09]

@mygarage95 This solo was an original composition, if that was the question, yes.

[xThaDrumma96]

@mygarage95 Yeah that or have it written for them by an instructor thats what i do for mine....

[dothefoti9]

for what it was, it was clean. i found it somewhat monotonous though...... ghost note section was tight, but nothing REALLY stuch out to me....... none the less, good job. much better than myself.

[gpdrums09]

And to clear up all the random confusion about my age and stuff? Lol, I am 22, I live in Ashland, OR and I was 21 while playing this solo. Hope that helps settle the confusion... :) thanks everyone for all the great feedback and support.

[whirlawaysteven]

by far one of the most musical of i&e 2009(?) solos i've watched.. i know most like to see the snare pyro-teknic pata-chada-cheese-a-diddle-cue­-erta-swiss-egg-choo (hold the mayo) and the way overdone walking away from the drum every 25 seconds for applause (and ego).. but for me i like musicality and precision. nice job, great sound too.

[gpdrums09]

@whirlawaysteven hey thanks for the great comments, it was 2008 though :)

[crazyuki13]

dude that was sick

[panteragod69]

so much controversy on this video... good snare solo, i like the sound of your snare too.

[parlay3]

what kinda stuff did he have to cut out?

[Yimsluu]

he wanted to play on water bottles, read a few down

[noebanegas]

my last name is banegas too

[farmermunnett]

awesome

[reefedflamdragsFTW]

Why did he have to rewrite his solo?

[xthatchinox]

probably because they were against the i&e regulations.

[Yimsluu]

if i remember right, he wanted to play on the metal swiss water bottles. and when he found out that you cant do that he rewrote some stuff and moved and changed stuff around. the dci rule says snare solo can only play on snare drum, no other things

[camryn55555]

hi my name is camryn and i go to grants pass high school

to clear everything up brian is 23 or 24

and he no longer teaches at gphs

crystal binger and evan dagit do

[JSUsnare3]

why would you call him a retard? he/she sounds like they know Brian better than you do. Besides, if he was 21, he would've marched last season. 23 sounds about right

[JSUsnare3]

you just contradicted yourself; if he aged out in 2008, he can't be 21. fail...

[JSUsnare3]

no shit. dude, u called camryn a retard cuz they thought brian was 23 (which he obviously is), and you correct him by saying that brian's really 21. Then when you realize this vid was filmed in 2008, you try to redeem your mistake and not look like an idiot by now saying he's 21 IN THE VIDEO. you contradict yourself, look stupid in the video, and you yourself are exposed as a retard. EPIC FAIL

[JSUsnare3]

dude, stop trying to save yourself. you sound pathetic

[JSUsnare3]

some friend you got

[CHeb513]

how long ago was this brian?

[CHeb513]

ok... brian... i'll give it to you, that was pretty good... i guess. jk ; )

[kmtobia]

how old is this kid? and is he doing PR next yr?

[gpdrums09]

I aged out. I'm 57 next march. ; )

Jk i'm 22

[CrazyPercPlayer]

[CrazyPercPlayer]

[jmcs978]

[Abiter57]

What High school did he go to???

[gpdrums09]

Evergreen

[SnareKidJoel]

Isn't that where Murray Gusseck teaches?

[gpdrums09]

He used to, now Micah Brusse is the percussion director there.

[CFsnare07]

Isn't he the Offworld guy?

[newfangledskater]

DAMNNNNNNNNNNN

[shelwig08]

I remember watching him practicing drummin with his elbow a lot in 07. I saw him try the 3 stick thing a few times too, but not a whole lot. Great performance. :-)

[gpdrums09]

Thanks :) I know now how messed up my technique has gotten since learning the snare drum, lol. But it was a good time.

[CrazyPercPlayer]

WHo ARe you?

[awefi]

i love brian banegas. and the incredible three stick trick.

[Mikelikes2rock]
