Guitar Center Drum-Off 2009

My attempt this year, and my second time going first. I didn't place, and I feel that one of the guys definitely deserved to win. The guy that actually won, however, didn't impress me; I mean, he was good, but I'd heard his style in other people before. For those who don't know, the sticks at the beginning are Pro-Mark Hot Rods, and the snare is a vintage Ludwig Acrolite with ten lugs - I've never seen another drum like it.

dude, your tempo is off!

I love how you loosened the gut cord to make for an earthy sounding snare. I do that too. Good stuff!

[ZackPomerleau]

Wow, what a groove man! Awesome! Those Acrolite's with ten lugs are quite uncommon, good find!

@3:15 lol it looks like you were trying to hold the drum stick steady but u failed lol so it looks like you were trying to catch them XD

i noticed one of your influences was gavin harrison. I was lucky to see him with Porcupine Tree in DC. It was phenomenal.

Itd be neat if they tested them on different sets, big and small. Just to see how they could work in conditions.

I think it would be heck of a show

Good job man, you really build it up very nicely!
