Atlanta Battle of the Drumlines

[JeanLondonDia]

He didn't get it from JSU's marching band. He got it from listening to Mario...

[rockstarduh5]

Cadets 2005 feature at 1:14! well, for like a measure! Also the Mario theme at 1:32. (probably got it from JSU's marching band, which also plays that measure in their cadence)

[goodwyn14]

what up with them chairs

[emaster97]

@goodwyn14 if you dont wanna use a harnss you get a quint stand ior just prop them up on chairs

[chese321]

how many Nick Cannons do you see at 3:30

[chese321]

these people have some great attire

[nagstrom]

[lanzy95]

[Generalnukes]

[mbruno7]

I didn't realize that spongebob was a denver nuggets fan until now

[Spongebobthegreatest]

If you want to see him now try typing Warren Co SCSU 2009 and I assure you have a different opinion or 6th Dynasty SCSU quints

[Spongebobthegreatest]

LOL I look back at this and laugh. I couldn't afford a stand and the school didn't have money to buy one so I used chairs. I don't know what I was thinking with the shirt but it was my nickname so I wore it proudly. I made name for myself period. I'm currently in college ready to graduate. I have progressed a musician and trust I don't play like this any more. Though it was my first time at this competition I can assure you will never see a battle like this.

[iluvceb]

chairs...really...haha

[alexdrumman]

I hope he knows his rolls SUCK!!!

[MrAc2181]

[virtuosity7]

[midkniteQ]

cool beats, very clean, but a little too much finger in his grip. and for gods sake, wear real clothes and pull your pants up.

[Shankapotomus1007]

Ghetto tenor stand

[BigBrown3r55]

whats the deal with all these atlanta people and there horrible long rolls? and talk about rim fest...

[CamperCarl00]

I love the sound of those rims.

[snarejoey]

he su cks

[snarejoey]

he sucks

[rbama93]

this is absolute shit! how can he come in second??? there must have only been one other guy competing because this guy sucks. his double stroke roll was SHIT and his scrapes are nothing but rim. and just because a beat sounds cool doesnt make it good....sad to say that this was neither cool nor good

[TheMippo]

Why are the tenors stood on... chairs? What the fuck?

[DarkZeroProductionZ]

@TheMippo

I guess it was too hard to do those rounds with the hardness on lol

[afrosaxmann2009]

MARIO!!! :D

[synGaTes212]

high quality quad stands

[SmallDrummer2013]

i think he should get a t shirt that fits him

[SteelersFan3346]

@SmallDrummer2013 who gives a shit

[snare4lyfe08]

my dude love them rims lol

[jonah12321]

in those first sweeps there were soooooo many rims, it just killed me ear

[neonjunior69]

sounds like super mario

[xxxPinkyGSterxxx]

1:32, best part of the whole thing...

[budwayz]

The reason he stopped through the cadets part was because he couldn't comprehend the real music.

[Spongebobthegreatest]

@budwayz Hey idiot... That was the same year they played the solo. There wasn't any music to it... Lets see your video

[thepostman95]

blahahahahahahahahahahahaha chairs

[dustinlutzdrum]

bad attempt at cadets 05 and mario

[Spongebobthegreatest]

@dustinlutzdrum Hmm.... I never seen anyone in 2005 play mario. Post a clip... I have more clips of this person and I assure you they are chopping

[bobcow384]

MARIO!!!

[progdrummer2112]

ghetto!!! tunings suck...and they need to get a real tenor stand!!!!

[motomachirox]

Haha, I liked the attempt to play the Cadets 05 show.

[Spongebobthegreatest]

Yeah I wish I had the music for then though

[motomachirox]

showb4theshow(dot)com

Go to downloads and search for it

[JBtenors08]

so. many. rims.

we used to put our drums on chairs like that in Jr. High.

this solo is too choppy...bleh.

[bindingflame1]

That is so freakin ghetto!

[drumerman4444]

to mutch rim hits.........not good timeing

[Drummer17X]

ummmm okay.....use rudiments also in your solo things or whatever it is you guys do there......

[cra2]

yeahhhh..

when YOU start posting better videos, you can criticize. Til then, shut it.

He did great.

And obviously 10x better than you - else you'd share some videos of your own.

[mrcoffee999888]

there's a trend of show style solos not having any emphasis on accuracy and technique.

lots of rims, downstrokes, and was that a motif of super mario bros?

[moonodude17]

A half-failed attempt at Super Mario Brothers, yes

[Toxic63]

i thought i heard super mario bros aswel lol

[Spongebobthegreatest]

Yeah I was the first one to play it and put it on youtube smh... I was playing that in 2005.

[messesn]

MARIO!!!

[meikala]

he hits the rim a lot and he should wear something nice. when our tenor players dont want to use a harnes we use two chairs or a trash can (and we arent poor)

[Spongebobthegreatest]

When you have to pay for everything on your drum including brand new pin stripe heads for 110 and mallets out of the pocket, money starts to take a bite into your pockets. Well this clip is pretty old so check out the new ones on my page

[cra2]

gotta agree on the outfit.

This is your chance to look sharp and impress.

T-shirts and ballcaps just don't show the judges (or the audience) or yourself respect.

[SirFreshAlot2010]

I dnt think what you wear gonna make you play any better or worse.. I cud put on my sis girl scout shirt and cut you a**.... no offense

[cra2]

If that were true, noone would dress up. They'd go on dates or to the Oscars in their shorts and wife-beaters.

But since that's not what happens, guess you're wrong. Or, maybe you know something noone else does.

[soxmail]

it's me maaario!!! great dude

[budwayz]

heard some cadets 05 in there

[Crueltool8]

good fake flams, homey

[danielchivas1010]

can the school not afford a proper set of stand for those drums?? instead of using chairs lol

[Crueltool8]

suck a dick

[Spongebobthegreatest]

If I had stands then I would of used them common sense... check out my upload vids smh

[TimRepsBT]

AYEEE, JP

[LBHxProductions]

MARIO! :P

[WillGibsonHitsRims]

<3 iT

[TheLazard12]

downstrokes at 0:09

[killingspree926]

wow damn amateur. like seriosuly battle of atlanta? he might have good licks, but his damn school is so poor, that they can't even aford a stand, and fresh cloths. like seriousy black people need to start wearing elagant cloths. he looks like a bum with pride and talent

[AsnCarE025]

his school is so poor that HE cant afford "fresh" clothes? dumbass

[killingspree926]

oh ok so you consider a nasty looking oversized spogebob shirt fresh? it's either that or he needs to be more elagent. the solo's kinda eh. i just hate it cuz it's all amateur style

[jamesriles3]

WELL YOU POST SOMEN BETTER

[moonodude17]

I thought the solo was decent. Too many rim clicks though. And yes, his shirt is oversized and garish. And for the record, I'm Black

[killingspree926]

yes thankyou for understanding. and for the record i'm not a racist. the solo was decent, and yes your right to many rim clicks and ticks

[jamesriles3]

yo did you see the new solo?

[killingspree926]

yah i know. and i will post something when i get the chance. i'm just saying that his shirt was oversized the solo was excellent. had great licks and all. but was the shirt and the two chairs necessary?

[dj504dj]

you act like the school made him wear that shirt. stop being an idiot, he can wear whatever he wants.

[killingspree926]

but be elagent. wear somthing you like and somthing that looks nice. or does that mean i'm an idiot, for waering somthing elagent and PROPER for a performance. it's commen sense

[TheLazard12]

yeah i heard alot of rims

[iJ3WlZ]

aww...that was sooo cute...why doesnt he hane a stand though?...and is this a free style?

[colbyman12]

at 1:33 he plays super mario lol

[cddrummer96]

[ShineDrums27]

not impressed

[jamesriles3]

[jrfratus]

at 1 56 he is playing SUPER MARIO theme song. thats wuts up

[thisisme31636]

awsome,,but he couldnt dress any better?

[zgutt123]

Nice ghetto tenor stand..

[Grice00]

Firstly..why would he show up to a COMPETITION dressed like that?

And secondly..why do all these Atlanta drummers in this competition think that drumming is all about speed and flashiness?

[tsadrummer]

@Grice00 and loudness*

[AdianAmadorDoss]

@Grice00 who cares they are probably better than you!! mind your own business and think before you post!!

[rickysousafonedude]

......Horrible. Keep practicing.

[hctibnacinimod]

[wweman1092]

ghetto tenor stand

[inodesens]

foshooo

[sux2bu37]

Maybe if he wore a shirt and pants that fit him he wouldn't look like a child and i could take this seriously.

[TrillxEmory]

@sux2bu37 bet he can play better then you fag

[KrislaneGC]

@TrillxEmory hell naw dis weak as nigga wont even playin nonthin hard if he in 10th grade he gud but he prob.just graduated...lol if he took sum time to learn wat he is playin it wouldent sound like he loves dem rims n stop watering all dat dci shit down....nsu all day funksquad

[devinjr15]

@sux2bu37 hahah

[strawwberryred]

@sux2bu37 when i read your comment i had to reply! what does his clothes have to do with the way he plays huh? so his clothing will affect his playing? you sound like the school administrators telling students to tuck in their shirts when coming to school, like if they dont they wont be able to learn properly!! give it a break

[liltazz19]

@sux2bu37 y r u jugein ppl on how they dress if u have sum black friends or is black u knw sum ppl have there own swagg

[chickenpotpie1216]

im glad that i go to a school that gives all the money to the band, we have 8 year old books and 2 year old snares

[mrTooKanSam]

1:50 -1:57 SUPER MARIO FTW

[MrXactoKnife]

are you retarded? he started playing mario at 1:37....

[mrTooKanSam]

No im not fucking retarded you piece of shit i know he played mario there, i was pointing out my favorite part.

[awsomenesscaleb]

What's with the chair stand?

[rmsdrummergirl2]

everybody aint got money

[awsomenesscaleb]

Dood, it's a stand. Besides, to help pay for equipment, bands normally have fundraisers and such. Besides, the cost of a stand is so small compared to that of Tenor drums.

[MegoPregoUnicorn]

way to the play the rims in the beggining......

[Igotgirls]

chairs 4real?lol

[joeyisfunny]

Why is he wearing my grandmothers robe shirt?

[yung24hours]

he cranked the mario

[lildrummercoop2007]

hahaha thats safe put your tenors on chairs and they last long enough to stay there

[foxxloko08]

that not funny man lol.. my schools broke and i have to use chairs.. man it really sucks to have to carry all those chairs around with your your drum and your music stand..

[bklol]

oh trust me im makin fun believe me been there done that..... ive played tenors b4 i moved to snare so i know how it is

[foxxloko08]

no fucking way so did i lol thats what i play now.. and thats part of the reason im on snare lmao!!

all i have to worry about is my music stand and drum stand..

[shaneloveshisdrums]

i heard a bit of the tenor feature from 2005 cadets in there... if only he finished it off instead of going to something else

[thasnargoblin]

chair stands. resourceful.

his shirt is really big too.

drums could be cranked up a little in my opinion

[cloud498]

they're actually about right...

[drummerdb94]

WOW! Has anyone else noticed that part of the piece he plays his super mario!?

[hheartbreak]

lmao i did

[rmsidekickid]

its not super mario it sounds like it but its not

[FlowerboyStudios]

I think its totally super mario

1:35

1:50 DEFINATELY

[1120471475]

it is.

[Razgork]

we all did lol

[floggy3]

SO MANY RIM CLICKS!

[drmking16]

just curious as to how you can win second playing like this.

[MetalGinger]

Yeah rim clicks!!!

[gfaithw]

just technique work stick heights its a must. but dude u got serious crossovers.

good job!

[noobicus2]

Put a harness on him and see how good his crossovers really are when he can't dip and move from side to side to avoid a stick click. Honestly quints are so much easier and so much less impressive when you use a stand instead of wearing a harness

[idaho777]

dude he did the mario songg!!

[ChucoBabies]

should have dressed up for the occasion

[long3000]

cadets 05 wooo!

[arthurxanimal]

[deej397]

[3times8]

Yee! :D

[Shinjgj22]

Aw the double stroke rolls were a bit choppy, but omg practice more cross over sweeps for the love of all real drummers out there.

All I really heard on those was da da da da, da da (click) da (click) da da (click) (click) da da (CLICK!!!!!!) da da (CLICK!!!!) BAHHHH!!! CLICK!!!!! Control your sweeps please!

P.S.- Super Mario beats are more prep rally, not good example for solos.

[sirtannerthepure]

You invented the hybrid buzz double stroke roll. Congrats.

[thorvald22]

oh god! my ears! you know everytime you hit a rim, a puppy dies...

[aks0227]

Lemme play a terrible double-stroke roll. Wait a minute. Then play some fresh beatz.

[dullesdrummah]

why can't anyone at this comp decently break down a double stroke roll??

[trumpetoneson]

does it bug anyone else that there are no uniforms? just baggy ass pants and spongebob shirts jesus christ lol
