@ransisua He is endorsed by Alesis Electronic Percussion and they provided equipment support throughout this week-long international competition. He doesn't have an accoustic kit sponsor yet and transporting an accoustic kit by plane would have been a nightmare and costed an arm and a leg!.
@wendileona In this competition they were instructed to enter and leave the stage Without Hesitation! If you look closely when the camera goes back to the announcer, the other act is already RUNNING on stage! The pulling up your pants thing didn't look good, but he knows that 'sagging' is not an option for him. Thank you for the constructive advice! We are always looking at becoming better.
@cast390 This competition has a 1 minute time limit on each performance. We tried to crunch as much as we could into a minute. If you are a drummer you know how difficult that is. Check out other videos on this drummer that show his full range. He site reads set music and plays traditional / contemporary jazz, gospel, rock, r&b, latin and a host of other styles. By far, he is not your average drummer, Enjoy!
As a drummer for 46 years myself, I'm good at what I do, but yes, this young man is positively SCARY with his ability. I can only imagine how good he'll be in another 10 or 20 years. BUT...as one other writer said, stage presence means EVERYTHING. Not acknowledging the audience and walking away pulling your pants up is NOT good showmanship. Get that part down and you'll have the audience eating out of your hands, I guarantee it.
@budwick5750, besides the physical layout of the dm10 studio kit what changes did they Make? I get mine tomorrow. Hopefully they don't send me the old version.
Next... showmanship. You don't just leave the stage while pulling your pants up. You face the audience and bow and carry yourself correctly. Don't give drummers a thug vibe.
He is very very gifted!
