3-Piece Drum Solo - Drumeo 

You know you are a massive badass when you play double strokes on the bass drums with flip flops...

This is the best drums solo I've ever heard. Limitations boost creativity.

Wow that was awesome! Haven't seen a guy trying to do so much with so little since me on my wedding night. Only difference is that he actually leaves you satisfied at the end of his performance!

Playing for nearly 20 years and it never occurred to me to motorboat my snare drum. What a boss, lol.

There are about 400 ideas in here that I need to try out on my kit...

This is how the internet sucks. The guy plays an absolutely brilliant solo with a minimalist kit and gets all kinds of haterade spewed on him. I'll enjoy this for what it is and ignore the comments. A guy doesn't get that good at his craft by surrounding himself with negativity.

Legend has it all drum machine samples come from this one man

one of the best modern drum solos right here. after 5 years still holds up too. dude checked ALL the boxes: Played with the meter, odd time signatures, interesting motifs, repeating themes with plenty of variation to keep them spicy, creative, upbeat, long sessions where there's groove, plenty of chops, good dynamics display, and literally anything is fair game to be made musical. His stick work is something of a treasure, especially considering how often he changed grips to achieve the stroke on the various mediums he was using. His speed, especially considreing the multiple surfaces, is impeccable. He's in good time with himself as well. Great stuff. And these "small kit" solos never cease to amaze, and this one is a standout among many great small kit solos.

Imagine what this guy could do with just a drum key

Watching the video expecting to get bored within the first minute, ends up watching the whole thing. What a beast!

4:22 that hi-hat was amazing

"The drum is the drum." "Yeah." "No, no... I mean every part of the drum is the drum." Brilliant!

This is no ordinary drummer. He has excelled where others have failed. Like a true genius he didnt let restrictions hold him down. Best thing drumeo has ever out out...hands down.

That was one of the most unique drum solos I've ever heard...truly inspiring.

This is what I imagine myself playing while pencil drumming during the middle of class. Great Job btw

The real definition of "use your resources wisely"

So much talent, but that cymbal bend made me unbelievably anxious.

I just watched a 10 minute drum solo. That's saying something. Kudos to Scott!

I may get hate for this, but I think this guy is like the Jimi Hendrix of drums....minimalist equipment, incredible talent (creatively and technically), and unconventional techniques to expand the palette of sounds he has to work with as much as possible. It's really awesome to watch!

Scotty P!!!!! Took lessons under this guy. Absolute beast 🙌

I can't play half as good as the this man but I'm gonna sit here and critique and judge his style.

The man with awesome musicality.. Really loved it..

7:52 - WHAT JUST HAPPENED

I can barely walk without my flip flop flying off somewhere...this is amazing.

OMFG this is an amazing solo! Can't believe I haven't heard of this guy. Please put Scott Pelegron's name in the title so others can learn of him.

Pretty surprised at all complaints, I was very impressed the whole time

As a drummer I've always said and believed, the best can create the most from the least. Thanks for proving me right. Amazing.

Can someone say what the negative comments say? I can't find them, but intrigued on why someone would critique this legend

7:51 he yells into the snare.

proof that drums are the most versatile and dynamic instrument

If there was any such thing as a best drum solo ever, I'd personally have to pick this one simply because of the unmatched creativity. This one stands out more than any other i can think of!

Absolutely amazing! I could feel a story being told in the solo. Just perfect!

Anyone has tabs for this?

I haven't seen any other drummers do half of the things this guy did in this one solo. Major props

LESS IS MORE... I LOVE the scratching/swiping on the snare.... I have never thought of that. So many weird techniques to create different sounds with so little kit... AWESOME!!

The most amazing drummer shows up looking like he just jumped off a surfboard and in into the Drumeo studio ❤️

i love that snare...

Another great example of "less is more." Phenomenal! Sound is awesome too... give the engineer some props too.

This person has inspired me to quit.

I’ve watched this solo several time’s over the last couple years and it still blows my mind.

OMG , this man is blessed and his soul is absolutely completely free.. What else could you say, after this Performance ? .... 0 : )

Love his drumming-- one of the most amazingly creative beat musicians around! Your curiosity of aural structures and playfulness on a drumset is ingenious. Never stop wondering ~

So grateful to Scott and Drumeo of course for this solo. I was so inspired by his playing when I watched this video a while back, and it opened eyes to something I have never seen before. Thank you!

One's gotta ask himself how he came up with alotta of those inventive sounds. Was he locked in a room with just a snare and a hi-hat and a pair of drumsticks for like 10 or 15 years? Did he carve a drumset out of coconuts while being on a deserted island? This and more we may never know.

Extremely creative. He had me listening to the entire video! There is something to be said about creating all these sounds and feels from so few pieces.

Excellent. Beautifully creative. Expressively musical. Holy Krakatoa, that was brilliant. Thank you for doing this Scott, and Thank you Drumeo for sharing. WOW

Still the most inspiring bit of drumming ever caught on camera, in my book.

Wow! Totally inspiring! You made me remember why I started playing drums in the first place at 2 years old on oatmeal boxes and pots and pans. Total freedom! No inhibition mixed with some seriously developed chops. This guy truly knows how to PLAY the drums!

Does anyone have the specs on the amount and ratio of cocaine and adderal I would have to ingest to drum like this dude?

God. Damn. Dude has some serious stick control, fast as hell hands, rock solid grooves, and creativity to boot. Really impressive.

New drummers "I can't do much because I don't have a full set". Oh really?

Its crazy how many ideas he introduces and explores upon greatly. Hes able to keep it new and interesting for the entire time.

In flip flops!

It's so creative he utilizes so much of the kit that most people wouldn't even think of

I love it. I always tell my students best way to get better at groove and feel is to break the kit down. It forces you to only have 3 to 4 options, which cause you to get creative. Great job

The most creative use of the sounds available on a kit that I have seen... Using the shape of his mouth to change the pitch of his sticks!

This is my new favorite thing!!! I usually get bored listening to solos this long but this was NOT one of those time. Awesome drumming man!

"I think I might learn how to play drums" *watches this video* "never mind... "

This is one of my all-time favorite drum solos! He's insane. I love it!

This is so brilliant gosh. Scott pellegrom is freaking amazing.

Thanks Drumeo and Scott for uploading this. This solo is extremely creative. There are some techniques that I have never seen before.

So absolutely inspiring! I applaud this TALENT! So musical!

The best solo i ever witnessed in my life!...man! What a technic s and coordinate...unspeakable!

Honestly one of my five favourite solos ever. So damn musical and groovy and yet so full of chops

Kinda reminds me of the sort of creativity that the late great Buddy Rich demonstrated on a small kit! Great stuff!!!

Good luck e-drummers !

He has WONDERFUL feel to his grooves...this just goes to show how important 'sound' is to us drummers. drumeo is such a great resource...

Stunning and outstanding balance of rythm and variable combinations of patterns played genius and true musician

Superb independence and really innovative ideas

fantastic best solo drum that i'never seen before, c'est magnific !!!!!!!!!!!

I have never seen a drum kit being played like this. That was incredible!

This the most exceptional drum solo that I have witnessed. The creativity is way beyond Racine.

That's one of the most amazing things I've ever heard!

I think his foot technique is absolutely gorgeous... really awesome drummer

The amount of IDEAS is incredible. Talk about getting sounds out of the kit. WOW! Thanks.

Just so good..... He really hits his groove about half way through and turns it up a gear!

2:19 *the sound is BEAUTIFUL*

Best drum solo ever in drumeo.

The fact he kept coming up with stuff about every 15 seconds proves this guy meant business and knows his craft extremely well

This is the best and most creative drum solo i ever seen... that was genius!!!!

As for the negative comments....obviously a whole lot of "wanna be's" who in their wildest dreams could never be 100th of the drummer this dude is....AWESOME MAN!!!...one of best drum solos I have ever seen/heard no matter how big or small the kit!!!!......oh and by the way those smart asses who think they can count so well....when you are counting a drum set....you ONLY INCLUDE THE DRUMS!!

6:38 soooo creative but i wouldn't do that to my precious cymbals

God has just played through him...if i may say so. Nothing has felt like this for some time - pure energetic joy & wonderful sounds throughout. Thank you so much, guys!

This is living proof that Less = More. Drummers are free to play on any sized drum kit they desire. But when a drummer plays on a minimal-sized kit like this, the energy and focus feels so good, that creative flow... I can't explain it. With a kit of this size and simplicity there's no pressure to play flashy chops on 5, 7, or a dozen other toms and cymbals attached to a drum kit; this is when a drummer learns to work with what he or she has, and just wing it... why shop for vegetables at a supermarket chain when you can grow your own veggies right there, no additives or preservatives, served fresh from the soul! Thanks for this awesome share!

Maaan, I love it. Fantastic imagination of this madman ;)

This is the video that got me into drumming a year ago.

Genius level stuff goin on here..joy to watch!

O cara é simplesmente genial. Chega de sandália como quem vai ali e já volta e faz um solo brilhante desses.

When this drummer can do more with a three piece kit than what most heavy metal drummers can do with their over9000-piece kits.

What's with the big Question mark during the rolls on the rim at 4:12?

That was very inspiring and unique. The vid editing showed the details perfectly. Thank you. 🥳🤘

Bassist here, but I watch Drumeo vids because they're awesome and inspiring. Really enjoyed the sessions with Billy Cobham and Sarah Thawer (and of course Bernard Purdie). I hope that you guys have an interview with this guy Scott Pellegrom, because I'd love to hear his thoughts on his approach to music and crafting sound, rhythm and dynamics, and how he approaches the drum kit (and other percussion instruments, willing to bet he's a true percussionist, not just a kit player). What a solo! I might have to go buy a kit now.

*Crap, that guy is GROOVY as hell !!!*

2:22 -- at a glance I thought there were 1/32s by one foot...

This is great man! Very creative in making fantastic sounds with just 3-piece. I wanna copy this haha. Great job!

This is maybe the 3or 4 th time I’ve watched this and it gets better each time, it’s really just incredible, I mean who needs toms,it’s a good idea to limit yourself to just a kick snare and hi hat to challenge your creativity.

Crazy creative!!!

Muy bueno !!!! Creatividad al 100 %

Out of the box insane! This is next level drumming. Know your instrument, dudes.

Not gonna lie. I’ve seen a ton of drum solos on RU-vid and this might be one of my favorites just for the sheer creativity
