Jonathan Leal Snare I&E 2011 2nd Place HD [**1080p**]

[yeaBASS09]

this guy was my section leader at revolution in 2008 hella awesome dude

[JoshCore210]

That guy went to UNT! WOO, Paul Rennick!

[VerySnowy]

it looks like his ear has a Spock kinda thing going on.. haha @7032jd

[ShinJJ900]

2:40 and 3:05... O_O'' THIS GUY IS AMAZING!

[juliothedrummer]

what the fuck one handed role at 1:57

[TheKiknwing]

@juliothedrummer If you research it. You will find out that it is called the moeller technique.

[TexSnare0702]

*had

*in

[TexSnare0702]

I remember my brother coming back from a football game saying "fuck, edcouch and some really good snare that kicked our ass is the drum battle." It was this guy lol

[clearlymarco77]

he looks like lord farquaad from shrek lol

[DCIdrummer]

Great solo... Lolz at 2005 Casey Brohard solo lick at 1:49

[M3ssageT4k3n]

the people in the back sounded a little exited

[allou82]

On my "doeant really know anything about drumming" opinion, I think think guy did way better than Keelan. Just my opinion though

[Aggelion]

@allou82 True true, I figure guy had way more flow and feel.

[Germanisme]

i love how he tunes his drum

[bassmaster2011]

those are my pants

[bluemagickbo]

lol @ the blue shirt guy in the background!!

[snareplayr23]

I think he could have easily gotten first place. But he didn't perform quite as well as Keelan did.

[lildrummerboy2014]

KEEP UR PINKIES ON THE STICK, DUDE!!!!

[CFsnare07]

@lildrummerboy2014 get the fuck out of here, you troll

[DCIdrummer]

@CFsnare07 Lolz at that..

[phobass]

@lildrummerboy2014 you should probably give him lessons.

[garretthegrreatt]

oh my sweet jesus.. ;_;

[SanreZai]

2:00 he must be practicing that technique since he was born

[drumpeteer12]

nice leg. no homo lol

[MXBoy360]

haha! his face 0:41

[guitarxgodx100]

haha does this guy even know what keelan's doing for his solo? hes done...

[tr0mpwned]

@guitarxgodx100 a little late bro

[theidiotboyz]

I used to be a snare ..... But then I took a snare to the knee . Now i'm a tenor .

[Droid11AP]

holy crap

[thankthegreat]

Haha, his facial expressions.

[xsteezysnare95x]

I represent SCV. but I love cavies so much I'll use their snare. hahaha.

[JBtenors08]

@xsteezysnare95x you make no sense.

[eddytheyeti2]

@xsteezysnare95x actually, that isn't a cavies snare. Cavies snares are Yamaha, that is a pearl. Plus, the Cavies snares were bright green to dark green fade, this is a black to green fade. The lugs on this are also different to those of the lugs on a yamaha snare drum.

[banditjr770]

3:10 looks like jacking off!

[MusicLives209]

His rolls are horrid

[rkdrum93]

@MusicLives209 ok mr youtube professional. do better, please.

[MusicLives209]

@rkdrum93 are u serious.. -_- they are so closed. he needs to open them up. they sound mor like buzz then rolls.

[explodingpimp]

@MusicLives209 He marches Vanguard... he knows what he's doing, and he's infinitely better than you. He obviously wrote the solo like that.

[MusicLives209]

@explodingpimp well yea ill give him credit he marches vanguard. but that solo.. ehhhhh.

[explodingpimp]

@MusicLives209 I mean it WAS 2nd place at I&E, but apparently that's not good enough for you. I hope you find something to meet your standards

[MusicLives209]

@explodingpimp i did actually lol keelan tobia:D

[explodingpimp]

@MusicLives209 Good to know you took my comment literally. Idiot

[MusicLives209]

@explodingpimp y am i the idiot ur the one getiing ass hurt cause i had an opinion. fucking moron.

[tr0mpwned]

@MusicLives209 actually he was doing 3's really fast thats why his rolls sounded so closed

[1freeplay]

he was my private lesson teacher!

[TheGWalka]

1:48 DJ JLeazzyyyyy

[kanderson311]

yeah,,,, but can you play lesson 25?

; )

[JonLeal]

I think this was by far the most fun I've had playing a snare solo. That drum sounded great, too! Thanks for all the compliments and to drumndenverr for posting.



[LA41792]

That was fucking intense.

[urdadi97]

I see why he made 2nd! His rolls aren't very well!

[bigdude627]

finally I & E realized that outdoor marching instruments sound better... outside?

[werephantomsin15]

@bigdude627 Dude. I wish we had been inside. It was 10000 degrees...

[cosmodrum1]

@bigdude627 true story, snare solos were outside in 2000.

[klmsdrummer]

The snare sounds like sex

[mariokilledme]

@klmsdrummer omg exactly.

[pandasoul1]

He had an orgasm face the whole time

[demarubadub]

@pandasoul1 me too, probably cause i was having an orgasm the whole time watching this

[maggotcrash666]

@pandasoul1 Wouldn't you?

[pandasoul1]

@maggotcrash666 ... Yes v_v

[cwsmith73]

Alien Hip Hop... is that like Martian Mambo?

[Bluecoatsdrummer2012]

He kinda looks like scott nelson a little bit

[strivehumbly]

yea that deserves 1st

[7032jd]

lol...you look like an alien

[jsk8drummer]

@7032jd and his chops support that statement

[NiklasSD]

@7032jd offworld endorser?

[flizzleFlopper]

excellent 

[Horus11B]

im sorry... that was sooo much better than keelan... you've got to get off the bandwagon guys.

[bmascara34]

@Horus11B what are you talking about, way more people were complaining about this guy losing to keelan. technically your on the bandwagon. but don't get me wrong this guy is a boss, I would have been happy either way

[deonteCsewell1445]

his solo is good but it seem like he stayed in his comfort zone. His solo seemed very rehearsed (even though i suppose it should...it feel too structured) where as Keelan solo seemed more freestyle and challenging.

[xXDrumSnareXx]

He Deserves first!

[c1o5ry1991]

2:45

??!!!?

????????????????????!!????????­???!!

[poopmcdoopdoop]

I still think keelan's solo was like by far the best.

[xXDrumSnareXx]

That groove in the beginning was sexy!

[Broshockaa]

Hes, well how to put this...quite goodXD

[gothdrummer7]

he wouldve won if he performed it. but he didnt cause hes taught by paul rennick

[lij2015]

@gothdrummer7 I wouldn't say just because he's taught by paul rennick Keelan's solo was a lot better. Also Leal IS a rennick follower. Phantom 2010, SCV 2011. Nuff said

[gothdrummer7]

@lij2015 that was the point i made? (:

[WholetrainOS]

i really like the solo, but i don't like the way how he perfomed it. this solo with keelan's energy and power would have been crazy!

[dariushilldrummer22]

@WholetrainOS

Totally agree! His interaction with the audience was no where close to what Keelan had. Probably would have taken first if he would have performed for them and not worried about losing the performance.

[D3Detka]

damn, hes got beats. very intense solo, i loved it. no offence to Keelan, but this guy has great flow. it must have been ridiculously close score wise for first place.

[billeeinasuit]

Virgil Donati would be proud.

[tyj0322]

lol, he kinda looks like an alien. how ironic! XD

[lttlpenguin]

Holy crap all these guys are so amazing, I can't even tell how they were judged to begin with...

[mimamalol9]

jonathan is cursed with 2nd place

[bjrambo]

fuck yeah! go vanguard!!

[IamAlex13]

3:03 "Oh my god" haha

[BravoRedSquad]

Holy shit.

[Bigshotsoutofnowhere]

Dude fuck Keelan. That should've won

[Suckapunch11]

Did you see keelan?

[kpsbcpnb]

gucken ab 2:40

[jey12345]

Does SCV use PR-2's or regular Rennicks?

[coockiemethhead09]

That's my cuz jonathan

[TheBryanDroid]

Man john u always amaze me bro!!! Killer ass solo. Miss ur sexy ass down here in the valley. Ha!! Keep tearin that shit up there brah!!!

[bassmaster2011]

those are my pants!!!!

[mcflugger]

[centraldrummer]

ALIEN HIP HOP!!! I FREAKIN LOVE PLANET X!!!!

[Camerrz]

Poop face at 0:42. :P

[Moog167]

@Camerrz Nahh thats called a "Stank Face"

[gfaithw]

3:45 you sound like a big choo choo train...XD

[thaiguy20fromla]

Groove at 1:48 is insane...

and 2:41, what the flying fuck?

[Octopi623]

I'm not trying to hate or anything, I LOVE anything that paul's made, but 32 - 38 sounds gross.

OVERALL this is an extremely good solo.

[snaredude10]

@Octopi623 i know right! lol. i thought i was the only one who thought that!

[Blackinferno15]

@Octopi623 wat was he even playing o.o 

[WGIfan]

@Blackinferno15 3s

[SGDrummer7]

Nice face at 2:38 lol

[PodgeHodge22]

This is just my honest opinion of the solo since so many people are talking about this guy's solo and Keelan's solo. I thought that Jonathan's solo was much more enjoyable. Keelan though, he brought it home man. He performed the shit out of his solo. Keelan was just a better performer. Which you have to remember that I and E is not just about what you play. It's also about how well you can perform what you bring to the table.

[ejbates21]

Makes me want to go practice!

[cameldevilYEAH]

@ejbates21 me and you both!!!

[Germany981]

you serious how the fuck did get 2nd he did so shit only his tricks were worth watch other wise he fucked this over

[rebelgamer94]

he brought it, but damn, he soo techinical. I wish there was a tie

[davidpetry]

Should have been 1st place. It was more musical in my opinion.

[milesmetkodrums27]

I think the only reason he didn't win is just because Keelan had better showmanship. Keelan's solo was great but I think Leal's was better and he didn't make any noticeable mistakes. He just didn't get into it to the level that Keelan did.

[BSBINC1]

@milesmetkodrums27 thats true he didnt get into it like keelan did

[kjley]

Epic.

[DDRsensation]

Holy shit! 2:42

[IonicMcLovin69]
