First Place Rudimental Snare Solo Finesse II by Tom Gregg

This is the solo that I played on February 25th and won first place in my district, after winning first place in my league for Rudimental Snare Drum Solo Competition. I will now be representing my District AND Sam Barlow High School in Gresham in the Oregon State-wide competition in April, and the solo will be memorized. I left in the Judge's comments UNCUT! all the other players he had something to say immediately, and he says "I don't really have much to say"

Thank you and please comment and rank for this to be featured!!!

I am 18 years of age and have been playing for 10 years. i will have some drumset and other solos up shortly

*NOTE, I DIDN'T CUT MY ANNOYING BABBLING THAT WAY EVERYBODY COULD SEE WHAT ALL HAPPENED. ALL THAT ADRENALINE!!! LOVE IT!!!!!

You couldn't even memorize your solo? Lame-o

[drumsrfun16]

haha, I memorized it for state :)

Good to see somebody play some rudiments for a change. Most drum set drummers nowadays just play everything single stroke and don't use any double stroke, paradiddle patterns for style. Way to go buddy. Keep it up!!

Damn! that's fast, i could probably pull some of it off....but I'd more than likely hit the sticks.

haha, pearl articulites are so cute. Just like this one they come in sizes 14 by 10, and the older smaller size 13 by 9. Hes using the smallest of the smallest, the 13 by 9. That size is really hard to find these days.

Maybe YOU Are more like a sport! Snare- like any instrument- has a range of color (or timbre..."groove" junky..brass monkey..lazy diamond studded flunky) that can only be accessed by "quick and fancy moves!" And once the ear adjusts to these color changes.. it demands them! That's why groove-splattered, sausage dripping, cow-tipping, jingle-jangle, star spangled, banana-rama! Get it!

I'm a drummer myself (self-taught, drum set) . All those quick and fancy moves are impressive - better than I could do - but I don't get it. Somebody actually wrote this? It sounds like random noise. It makes me think either "Wow, your ability to precisely play random notes that somebody wrote is amazing" or else "Dude, are you playing what is written at all?". There is no "groove" to it. Maybe snare drumming is just a world of it's own that I don't understand, more like a sport than an art?

its pretty good. when you play a marching snare in traditional grip ur right elbow shoul be OUT away from your body. and in matched well the left one should be out too.

Where did you get this sheet music? Because I want to play it.

[WarrenEIder]

Hey where did you get this sheet music? Because I want it haha.

@ZXROMEO what the hell does weight have to do with drumming? he is an awsome snare player thats all that rele matters

[ZXROMEO]

Generally we don't see overweight drummers, you need a drop a good 40 Lbs+. Judging from your mannerisms and general vibe, I think you're basically a concert drummer, right ? Other than that, good job.

[sbdrummerboy]
