Best Snare Drum Soloists Alive (ok, 1 per decade since the 60s) 

Hey everyone, you can check out this other lineup from PASIC 2015: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RIYjAmfq17E.html

Hi people... Scott Johnson here: We put this together with people we knew could make it to PASIC. I do realize there were, and are, great snare soloists from the last 60 years. If you were at the clinic, you would know that we all talked about all the winners from our decade that we represented... much respect... and just a side note: None of us posted this with this title on it "Best Snare Drum Soloist Alive" If you know any of us 6, you wold know that is not something we would ever say... :-)

I love this!! This is like the Avengers for percussion lol

Old man showing out was insane 🐐

60 years of Chuggeda Variations

Bald guy in the bottom left corner of the screen here. It was AMAZING to witness this exhibition. The stylistic changes from the 60s to the present were incredible to see, as was the sheer level of talent. The best part was how humble and approachable these six were. How about we don’t crap on a guy for his opinion and just enjoy this for what it is: quite possibly the best gathering of rudimental snare players on one stage ever.

That olds man is my old instructor Charlie Poole, greatest guy you can ever see. Awesome dude and really helped me out in my high school career. He taught me since I was in 4th grade all the way until I graduated high school, now I teach my own drumline and he’s helped me since day one

ScoJo is only using 0.000001% of his power

Love how u can see that Brandon's back stick on the left is horizontal, unlike everyone else's. U can see how it changed through the years

I like the evolution of pants from right to left 😂😂😂

I love how relaxed the older guys are and how nervous looking the last, and youngest guy looks. Totally making sure he doesn’t screw up, but he looks super excited and pleased to be up there all the same

I wish I had been old enough to study with Mr. Poole. SO MUCH FLOW and GRACE to his drumming.

Well if this isn't the coolest thing I've seen in a long time.

I can't believe the christ compel my beats guy isnt here, he's clearly the best soloist alive

"Where's [insert any snare god name here]" They probably couldn't make it. Whether that be because they were at a different booth at PASIC or that they weren't there at all. Don't overthink it lmao

Jeff and Brandon on the same line... dear god

Saw this today! Amazing players

Really cool, through the years, ol' brohard!!! Awesome!!!

Brings back memories. I saw Charlie Poole vs. Bob Kalkofen very long ago. At some indoor contest late 60s or early 70s.

Great!! Very clean. You can tell these guys probably all are instructors.

The acoustics in there are just godly.

As a drummer myself, I can confirm that these guys are 100% the best.

Heyyyyy there's Brandon olander

They all still got it!

Simply amazing. That's all I have to say

That was 100% drum corps through the years

Charlie Pooles flow is impressive!

really dope

Ohhh shit ...damn that was smooth ...old is gold 🔥🔥

Tight. Awesome.

ok this is pretty epic

Love the sound of wood on Kevlar!

The old guy was amazing

We’re gonna need one for the 20s soon

The Jedi Council.

There you have it the legendary snare line:)

1960s still got it👍🏽

Nice!

Charlie made me. All his protege's that trained me too. Then Mike Back for a year. I'm so incredibly thankful Charlie if you read this

I love it when Casey hugs Brandon 🥺

Man, Poole still plays like BUTTER.

someone please make a brandon olander tapoff compilation.

Brandon’s tap -off 🔥🔥🔥🔥

God I love tradition

*best teacher chops in the world*

Tocan muy bien

God tier

Cleanest Drumline alive

I love how the oldest dude there taught me how to play the drums

Oh, what I would give to be taught by one of these legends lol

Wow ... regarding the comments here. I don't think I have seen so many bad tenor drummers in one place. And just for the record - Canada has produced some of the best snare drummers ... ever. I can think of a dozen guys off the top of my head that will make your heads spin! (Don't make me name em ... Paul. Ed. Gerry, Gary, Fred, Brian, Scotty etc etc etc ) This was great Scott. Not demeaning it at all. As a long-time PAS member (In fact one of the first in Canada - hell lookup an early Percussive Notes where I was featured! HA .. that was before colour pix !!) Anything that promoted rudimental drumming is great. But man-o-man the comments. Kids! PLEASE!!!! stick with watching "Drumline" leave us men alone!

The sticks coming in was dirty... XD

Did this one 37yrs ago

The old flam jam. Flamstein. Flam, bam, thank you ma'am. Taking a trip to flamsterdam. . . Or the hoover flam. The old pink FLAMingo. Doing a little FLAMenco dancing. I love it

Jedi snare drummers: they have total control of gravity force. My favourite is Jeff Queen. What about Rob Carson and Ken Mazur ?

eyyyy brandon

You can tell Brandon's the coolest with all those butt hits

Was that John Mapes!! Let’s go!!!!

The dad line

Is Charlie Poole's drum a Rogers Dynasonic? Anyone know? If so, I have one just like it.

Is that brandon on the left end?

What’s the piece they’re playing

More like, where's Rob Carson?

Killer!!!

20 30 40 50 60 70

Kaito too

Where is Bryce

The dude second from the right isn’t he with the blue devils drum and bugle corps in the grey shirt

Why isn’t Dennis DeLucia in this?

Brandon olander

some of the best, I don't see Steven Campbell in that group. I think getting a perfect score qualifies.

Casey?!

Robbie Robinson should def be the guy for the 80s

yah traditional grip!!

Where is Rob Carson

6 decades of Digadigat.

No one gives the 1960’s guy a hug :(

Only can do rolls with my left because I'm left-handed

I came

No Keelan Tobias?

ferchrissake people just enjoy it for what it is. enough about the What about....?

I encourage people to look up PIPEBAND snare drumming.

can we get a line up of names?

where are Steve chorazy you and rob carson?

Bruh Jeff queen had the best tapoff lol

The only one missing is Mike Macintosh.

But it's fine

where’s Keelan?

I don't see Tyler Dempsey up there.

Where is Pete Sapadin?????

I'll take the oldest guy, Brandon Oleander, and that killer blue Pearl next to Brandon.

My 0ersonal openion is that hot scots 2012 was the best

Brian olander?

Sounds like a printer

What, no Ken Mazur? lol

SOME of the best because Ralph Nadar isn’t there!

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 that was bitch'n, definitely better in person I'm sure🙌🙌🙌🙌

Sdjmalik would show them all a thing or 2 👍

But, where's Roger Carter??????????

why scojo looks like he is a father of brandon because they are the same snares because the blue devils use system blue snares and not sometimes
