I must say, I've recently been trying to improve my single drum chops to fill out my technique on set, and even though some people talk as if they can play it better, I was still blown away. Well done man.
Hey everybody, I want to let you all know I appreciate the feedback on the solo. I did this almost 2 years ago, and its nice to hear some people still like it. I would like to make one thing clear though: I cut out some of the long or repetitive parts of the solo on purpose. This was a live performance in front of a large audience, not a judge, so I simply made it shorter for showmanship's sake, and so I would not bore the non-drummers out there. Thanks again.
that explains A LOT. i was watching it and was thinking wait what the hell? but i must say section F is probably the hardest part of the whole solo. i havent seen ANYBODY get it up to the 130 bpm except for Jay. that kid is incredible. you nailed it though.
You skipped the long roll after the back sticking, and you could play faster if you didn't use so much arm. STROKES COME FROM THE WRIST. Nowhere in this piece is it necessary for moller stroke.
This solo looks so much better when done with traditional gripping; thank you! 2:30 to the end was great, and the back-sticking was very clean as well. Nice work!
AMAZING you're the first person i've heard that has actualy played this solo at the right speed. you've got mad crazy chops bro. i love the back stuck flam drags. insane.
playing it twice as fast doesn't mean its better, i played this solo last year about 10 clicks under what he played it at, playing it faster i don't see doing anything but making it all jumbled
Remarkably!!!

This is the solo I'm learning for my sophmore year, so if I ever get it up to 130, I'll try to post it here.

Here's a tip: 108 just isn't 130 man. Get that tempo up.

Some parts missing and not at tempo, but nice job. This is a very hard solo to play as written, at tempo and with the dynamics.

Let's analyze the statement "twice as fast".
1. Present tempo around 115.
2. Twice as fast 230.
At 230 that would make the 32nd note paradiddles the equivalent of playing 16th notes at 460. The best players might get them up to 300.
3. The written speed of 130 makes everything almost impossible except for the very best players.
Even it was possible to play twice as fast the composer did not intend for it to be that fast, so what's the point.
