DARRIN JOHNSON (Drums - ZAiA, Cirque du Soleil) 

Absolutely fantastic! You have so much control over your sound and your overall framework! I'm a percussion major and preparing auditions for when I graduate next winter. Cirque du Soleil is honestly my dream job!

Great ! Very good musicality !!! I just love it...

Are you serious? AMAZING! I have no words for this! Greetings from Venezuela.

So tasty and controlled!

Great performance and groove!! Very expresive, Congratulations from Argentina.

Wau, that was amazing. What a great groove.

That drum sound tho, especially that snare... Dayum!!!

i would advise all drummers to watch this and study every move.

Love the flick of the wrist on the snare!!!

I keep watching this, lol. It's fantastic! The rip at 6:11 is wicked. Thanks DJ! Love the way you mix it up!

Great control and feel...like it !

Man! Congrats! This is the Gig of my dream. Of course its not just a gig. When I leave the college I will audition for the Cirque here in Brazil. Hope to see you someday. Again, congratulations!!

WuuOOuu super!!!! me gusto muchísimo Felicidades saludos desde Colombia!!!

Impeccable as always, DJ!

EXCELENT...

Great to see it from your perspective mate!

Fantastic drumming!! Great technique!

Very good man !!!!

Muy buen trabajo!! Good Job!! congratulaciones

6:12 to 6:14 - amazing strokes

that this work has to be behind the scenes?? its perfect!

That one "dislike" is a shame...this is freaking killer!

I'm also a drums & perc major and planning to audition for the Cirque. But gonna do a couple of cruise ship gigs first to get experience and reading chops together :D

Piccolo snare.

Tight drum heads and small cyms........most technical drumming on utube 😎

please show me more!!!!

I love the sound! Does anyone know what heads and hats he's using? Thanks :)

I love 6:49

Darrin Great Job !! Please what make are the cymbals and their sizes ?

Who sets the click track on every cue?

Let me guess Drum Workshop (DW)

do you have to buy your own drums? Or does cirque provide anything for you!?

hate to say it again, but this is inspiring . i'm fixing my drum set almost exact. can you tell me what inch is your remote snare? 10 or 12" thanx

what's the drum to the left of his snare called?

God those drums heads are tight... And unfortunately, hits on snare are disproportionately loud (or "how can constant rim-shots show sensitivity or lack thereof...). I'm sorry...
