You play really well. I like your solo.

Wowzers, despite all of the criticism, you can really play fast! It's awesome. Great chops. I agree that it simply won't suffice at all for a drum-off, you need to lay down a phat groove, and that isn't always as easy as blasting singles. In fact, it's much harder. I would suggest shedding some really simple grooves for hours and hours, and get super solid. Then, with your speed, you might have a chance. Good luck!

All I have to say is this is a cliche solo. Nothing original, nothing new. You didn't get it.

just speed

There are some ok moments in here but for the most part it's singles, some quadruplets & other basic stuff.
Your tempo is all over the place which leads me to believe you'd have a hard time in the pocket in a band setting. I may of course be wrong & this may have just been a bad solo, but you're not steady enough to keep a band in good time I think.
Over all average & typical of a lot of rock drummers. You've stolen some Portnoy technique which is good, but Travis Barker as well, LoL.

overall not bad, but ya def do need to add some differing dynamics to create some nice tension and relief moments. And think about throwin' some bonham style triplets in there to spice things up.

Little harsh, but true to some degree.

Obviously you have developed some speed. Now it's time to work on grooving!! Playing fast doesn't make you a good drummer ....
