[StakeSteak]

@ danielcohndrums Op, you caught me there

[Thegoodmusicianguy]

[thaibaud]

This is probably the video wit the worst quality, but the most likes.. That guy gets two thumbs from me!!!

[fastone56]

Wish there was a better recording of this, one of the best solos of all time

[GloriaChiever]

Recorded with a banana.

[112immanuel]

[Grasshopper110]

85

[safaripest]

I thing we should call him "Beamer". From DE1885

[Malletman12]

Nice... enough said.

[dev32897]

[ZetzueRyuho]

Why are people bitching over quality? This was uploaded in 2007, and shot in 1990

[MrTrentMueller]

unbelievable. best snare solo i've seen/heard.

[killzone1893]

I actually know Scott cause he's my percussion instructor and he writes our music for fall marching band and drumline and I just got to say that even after 20 years since that sole has been played that he's still got it. And theres a new solo book full of percussion solo's and his solo is in there and I believe it's called shockwave

[cubabass1]

:O

[chaparganju]

33 people did not watch it!

[202drummerboy]

that is the best snare drum solo i have ever seen

[SGTJOCOOL1]

my toaster can do better quality than that but omg that was amazing! well done!

[ThePaytorRyan]

Who knew the Green Lantern was a drummer :p

[MrAlwynAlejandro]

[Haritonov46]

The most incredible is 0:10

[rcguy95]

[Mcpilipinas]

[EliteSniperFMJ]

Travis barker is insane on the snair but, idk if he could beat this guy in a battle

[limpbelly]

smooth vnice more:)

[rediculous846]

@DongFangSue ur an idiot

[Guitarhreomaster16]

All you people that say it has no musicality or nothing of that nature, SHUT UP DCI is for showing all that you have and more, he is a prime example that if you show what you got and nothing less you can be successful or fail but with pleasure you laid on that drum head, but he did it and won

[KittyKatDobbs]

This guy is my percussion instructor.

[Pdrum2]

@KittyKatDobbs really?

[KittyKatDobbs]

@Pdrum2 Yeah. He also writes all of our music for Indoor.

[BadAlice101]

32 people ain't got groove.

[JaYSeeBby]

He's getting pussy now

[ghettttttto]

31 people dropped the stick toss.

[daw162]

Ahhh..things that people used to be able to do before everyone spent their free time vegetating on the internet.

[ArthurZ101]

13 ppl were on pit in high school....

[didgeboy287]

Brilliant work of course and that's easy to marvel at, but a question. How much if any of this is improvised? The throws and transfers of course are practiced and I'm sure there's a general start to finish in mind, but is every tap accounted for?

[zharston]

@didgeboy287 They are certainly accounted for from a technical standpoint. At this level of performance, even something improvised maintains that level of integrity.

You were pretty much spot on, though. Most soloists have a general storyboard, but not a hard-copy. When I competed in the PASIC competition, that's what I did.

[gurreiruto]

impossivel

[ford26993]

I don't think his pants are high enough..

[multibuddhaneo]

@ford26993 They don't wear pants.More like a sleeveless jumpsuit then they wear the green top over it that cuts off at the ab level.That's why it looks that way.

[Bryanctree]

@ford26993 lmao. haha

[WayneMandible]

Great drumming! Thanks for posting, much better than most of the junk I have looked at today!

[TrustworthyMtgGuy]

YYYEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! whooooooooot!!

[silkaem]

[dcogbermu98]

[wigifries]

@dcogbermu98

Joey Jordinson has nothing on this guy.. just look... rudimental drumming is so much more precise and just amazing. it takes so much more talent to play rudimental drumming.

[ThatOneGuy24FA]

That was badass!!!

[unbeatenrug]

im pretty sure somewhere in there he was playing 32nds with one hand!!! that guy is like god of the snare drum =p

[Nakedrummer94]

[jazzman3071]

[jasonbsa]

[WitchOvAgnesi]

This is nothing short of a profound love for one's instrument.

[donnymarvin]

Smoked IT!

[bnieves1994]

that was amazing is he playing on a yamaha sfz? if so i have the same exact snare colors and everything.

[rayhuner328]

wow i can almost do that im 14 ive played snare for about 7 years but this is too amazing

[Luckyjasondrum]

You can almost do what? This solo? I've never seen you play, but, with all due respect to you....... I doubt it.

[XylussN]

sure

[gwrebel101]

@rayhuner328 sure you can

[panhead55]

@rayhuner328 probably not

[StakeSteak]

holy crap, probaly one of the best snare solos i've seen, its to bad its not better quality

[Pdrum2]

@StakeStea old analogue camera

[danielcohndrums]

@StakeSteak GRAMMAR POLICE! The use of the word "to" in this situation is incorrect; Should be too.

Ya but was a pretty sick solo.

[KameronID]

Woah

[angelrodriguez10]

[trumpetdudeman07]

cavies uniforms deserve a little more respect...

[Luckyjasondrum]

Suit? Funny? Are you retarded?

[bthsds2002]

Splooie!

[amazinglygeneric]

haha I know it's an old video, but the resolution kinda reminds me of my old NES games

[R2DaOokie]

that was amazing, how long have you been playing for because ive been playing drums in general for about three years and i just got into highschool drum line and i really want to start getting god like that and i want to know what kind of practice you do and for how long you have been playing

[mostecri]

1:59 did that really happen??????????

[TheJ2H]

It sure did

[Meechree]

@mostecri That's actually not that uncommon (:

[SuicidalSnare]

Holy sh1t he used like EVERY damn trick in the book! This was a very well thought-out, not to mention brilliantly executed, solo.

[TuchiRasTT]

2.31

[babycullen8]

that was hot:) lol seriously that was awesome:)

[dbracr27]

he looks like a dude from dragonball z lmao

[panhead55]

you would have a hard time just sitting in the audience let alone trying to even come close to scott....

[DrumlineDemons]

D:

That's not true!!!

[isair81]

Incredible, he is so fast! oO

[major600]

Great performance. I wish it included his ovation. I'll bet it was loud and long.

[tigersfan14]

scott was my percussion instructor for like 8 years. great guy... awesome drummer. that's back when he still had hair. haha

awesome vid!

[Ramza192]

this is impressive

but hard to enjoy bc it doesn't make sense

it looks like he's just wailing away at the drum and flipping his sticks at random

[centrichawk]

and you can't enjoy that? lol

[RoyJohnMorris]

Is the tied roll a tradition of the French???

[WhiteChapel0514]

Nice fucking snare work. I hate when I look up drum shit. Every damn time I think I am getting better I see shit like this

[spacitydrummer4JC]

:11 was sweet

I've never seen that done

[jamaicansk8er]

holy shit agreed

[IAmTheSwordmaster]

Haha. That has to be the ugliest uniform I have ever seen.

[iwatchvideos321]

wtf,random timpini,lol

[InfernoX1994]

bitch you just got favorited:)

[SilverRegiment08]

lol inferno...

[dawichrister]

What year? (**Splooie~!*)

[Killerclownmeat]

WOAH! is he doing 34 notes? or is it higher?

[TheDigitalMonk]

The division of notes actually doesn't have anything to do with how fast he's playing. It depends on how you define the beat.

[Killerclownmeat]

ahhh, Thanks I understand it now

[drummer9457]

and it goes whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, then 32nd notes, then 64th notes and so on

[Killerclownmeat]

yeah, i Already knew most of those, thanks

[alipool]

Shocker did a line at Perkingston Mississippi in the early nineties. He was cool as hell. Taught me a lot.

[warlock253]

which dci is he from...

[enzo665]

Hes from the cavaliers

[sparrowm249]

holy s**t thats amazing

[reefedbeats]

beast lol

[DourifPower]

damn, i wanna drum like that

[zealousii]

this is my friends uncle :]

[ihaterunescape]

i jizzed my pants

[ncben50]

wow hes amazing i always brag to my friends about being first chair drummer but now i know i have no room to brag if i ever get around this guy

[SilverRegiment08]

where is the video?

[DCIbeans]

wats his last name?

[jimdrum66]

Hats off to Shocker, one of the greatest snare drummers I have ever seen. He was extremely relaxed when he played and was a very musical talent. As an individual, he could play things that would blow your mind. Sometimes, it looked so easy that you didn't realize the depth of the difficulty until you tried to play it yourself.

[jimdrum66]

With a line, shock, transformed the players around him like a magical drumming Jedi. Those lines were amazing! To top it all off, he was fairly humble and very willing to share his ideas and techniques.  One time, he drummed from Lexington all the way to Indianapolis...playing sixteenth notes!! By the time they got there his hands were a blur...

Shocker would literally get electrically charged (static) when practicing on astroturf and would touch someone and practically electricute them.

[warrior995]

Dude you make him sound like the chuck norris of drumming!

[BradHalls]

Scott is the man. :-)

[jaybeezy378]

love the part that starts at 1:10. extremely creative, amazing drummer

[mechmove]

This solo was way ahead of its time.

[JIMFISHES1]

I could watch this guy play all day long, what a performance!!!!!!!!

[scottdrummer16]

awesome. just awesome.

[splooie1990]

I remember Scott practicing this solo every chance he got throughout the summer of 1990. When we weren't rehearsing, he was tweaking it. He got up earlier than the rest of the corps working on it. He went to bed later that the rest of the corps working on it. Great Job Scott! Nice to finally see it! :)

[Drumguy65]

It's DCI, completely different style of drumming from pipe band. Go watch DCI drumlines to get a better understanding before you post condescending comments.

[hellfire7777777]

Scott kicks ass.

[tjjwittadawg]

how long u think he practiced?

[iSK8TEeveryday]

holy shit. thats amazing

[mkohlmeier2]

lmfao, wow, your an idiot

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Two people wrote back to that? I was kidding Lol. I know they aren't pads.

[hippy2010]

o yeah btw I'm not saying Scott is a bad player you guys are taking everything the wrong way...I was talking about the moron who said every good drummer plays traditional...that is not true but many good ones do use tradtional and I simply don't understand why everyone still uses traditiona but I play tenors so w/e I guess I'm a retard

[alildrumhappy]

Im a tenor player myself.. but when i practice one a single surface or pad i play traditional and i dont know why.. ill even play set with a traditional grip..

I think traditional grip is more impressive, if its clean and looks good tho.

[Maxwellmichael90]

SO Scott is my uncle (not kidding) and I take lessons from him. Unfortunately, I wasn't alive at the time of this solo so I didn't get to see it. So yep, I'm related, you are not, Hahahahahaha

[osutate]

Scott taught me how to play, him, and his brother are absolutely amazing, not only is he one of the greatest snare drummers of all time, he is an amazing teacher as well. And for all of you morons who knock on him it truly shows your lack of skill, knowledge of drum corps, and Drum competitions.

[qjbb]

nobody play the same cuz wateva cum to my head right then n there i do it so i guess im freestylin on yall hoes

[panhead55]

well, i hope a spelling bee never comes to you right then and there.....cuzz!!

[FGK1990]

OK.

[jroblee]

Is this guy "Shocker"?  He friggin' rules - all of the technique and spirit to boot. Heck yeah.

[TheJ2H]

Yeah, this would be Shocker

[panhead55]

still my favorite snare solo on here, hands down!!

[punkypain]

I've seen better players!...

[bcaviness]

good, now go watch them.

[asdfbandit]

And just to add to that, your ignorance is what makes real drummers pissed off. The reason the drummers in a drumline play with traditional grip is because way back when they marched in the war, they had the drum tied to their left leg to keep it from wobbling around. Now they had a chicken wing for an arm everytime they had to step with the left leg. So they invented traditional grip. You think they just invented that so that people could distinguish a good drummer from a bad drummer? Fool

[hippy2010]

actually there is usually a slight tone difference between your left hand in traditional and your right hand because of how you hold the stick and you don't have to use traditional in a snareline, just it's common and anymore there isn't much reason to do it anymore honestly, we dont have problems with the step off and movement of drums anymore look up SCV 2005 I think...they used matched and they aren't ignorant or a bad line :-D you both look like noobs really

[mathproof]

The SVC line did use matched grip in 2005 and they placed eighth. Did you notice how quickly they switched back?

[hippy2010]

They deserved higher than that, I bet the judges saw them playing matched and inside their head went this isn't as good as when they play traditional but what do I know?

[mathproof]

I think the '82 SVC place well and played matched grip. Hence, I don't think that there is a bias against a line playing matched grip.

As for 2005, they are lucky that the Colts didn't beat them.

[jimbmxer]

I don't think i fully understand the point that you are trying to make here. You say people today use traditional because it used to be necessary because they marched with slings. Well now we don't so why is traditional still used? Hippy is right sound quality with traditional isnt as good as with matched ... thats just a fact. Traditional is used now for show. Not to honor our ancestors.

[panhead55]

retards....

[mathproof]

The Sound quality difference is very minimal if even detectible for a skilled player. Hence, that fact doesn't really make matched grip any more desirable--sorry. I suspect that people who argue for matched grip don't want to work hard to produced the playing skill of Scott.

[panhead55]

when you are as good as this guy it doesnt matter what form you play. he can make both hands sound the same. just for instance his hands didnt sound the same, did you see this solo from 1990!?!? it wouldnt even matter. im telling you, ive seen a lot of dci first place solos and this is still the all time great....just a fact.
