Jeff Queen Blue Knights DCI snare solo 1st Place 1994 

For real!

With hands that fast, Time travel could definitely be possible.

More like 2015 BK paid homage to that old Premier drum look. It was (is) iconic.

He's the showstopper.

Fuck the writing. Play the fucking song W

BD 86 was better. You know, the guys that taught you I'm sure. Haha.

@@S1lv3rdo7 Well considering I marched in 86, no, they didn't teach me. It wasn't til 90 that I worked with BD instructors. Only one of which aged out in '86. Another was the legendary Jack Meehan. ScoJo was with SCV in 92.

That's so awesome. I never marched, but our HS line (99'-2003) really looked up to you guys, specifically after Blast had came out recently, then we dug back and inevitably discovered SCV 92...Thanks for being a beast drummer, you guys inspired our marching and playing

Haaaaaaaa..... I get it

He and Nick Angelis marched together in the 1992 SCV battery. The most underrated battery in history. Won every caption at I&E except Tympani, and the judge changed the score on that sheet to put him second.

Lol

Scott Williams I LOVED 92 SCV. I saw them 3 times. I loved that they started with "POOF" on the field. And their tenors were amazing!

Jake Letts Of course that's how he talks. That's him. :/

programmed wrong never even saw this but my point was that this was like 20 years ago and he still has the same mannerisms and such. Which change. But thanks for assuming I’m an idiot, unaware that this Jeff Queen video stars Jeff Queen 🙄

not if you had to carry them

cosmodrum1 or change a snare head.

@@ehess1492 yes I own a old hts premier it's alot of unnecessary work.

drksdofthmoon idiot

Lol yep

Honestly, no offense to our drums (you can ask any player from my years 2012-15) the drums were the worst part of our program. Jeff also doesn’t teach at Carmel anymore, I’m pretty sure he and his wife, Rosie, retired.

Drum Ape one of my techs did blast and also matched blue knights, there could be some overlap

Drum Ape Jeff queen was the lead snare drummer in blast

Yes, I thought this might be the case, the just seemed like the same person. Thanks for clarifying.

😮 omg bro. I am sorry that happened, I remember how big Corps was back then. I would've been absolutely gutted. I never auditioned for Corps after HS (99-2003), but that is straight up gut-wrenching of a story!

Don't worry bro, I know your pain. I was a talented high school player and my instructor hooked me up with the Glassmen center snare, Brian Blume at the time. I was training with him up until the auditions and thought I had a pretty good shot. I was completely outclassed. I wasn't even good enough to get picked for warm-ups. Then, during the single auditions, I waited in line. I played some exercises, they were okay. Then he said, "okay, now play something to impress me." I froze. I had no idea what he wanted me to play. I thought, "Do I freestyle? What do I do here? Oh shit he's waiting, play...play DITTY!" So I started playing ditty. And I realized I could get _through_ ditty, but I hadn't really _mastered_ ditty. And after a few measures, he just took his sticks and started playing right along with me. It was totally unexpected, and I botched it entirely. There were moments where I was just sitting there, while he played passages, and I'm trying to figure out what comes next and jump back in. So he ends ditty, and I'm totally fucking embarrassed. Everyone out there just heard me botch one of the most famous Blue Devils warm-ups of all time. I'm sure everyone in line knew how to play that one. I couldn't look anyone else in the eye after that. If I could go back in time I would have tried harder for a lower division corps just to march, but the experience humiliated me so much that I actually stopped playing drums until I aged out. I regret that. Cheers bro!

You cannot deny jeff queens chops, even if he was in a "spoiled generation". He also played some incredible stuff on the mylar drum in this solo.

“I don’t like how they look so I’m gonna boo them” That’s not a very mature mindset
