Kwesi Robinson from Trenton, NJ - check out his performance from our 28th Annual Drum-Off Finals that took place on January 14, 2017 at The Novo in Los Angeles. Kwesi played on a 5-piece Tama Star Walnut kit in Atomic Orange with Evans EC2 on the toms, and their EMAD on the kick, (Kwesi used his own snare) along with Meinl Byzance cymbals: 14" hats, 16" crash, 18" crash, 20" ride, 10" splash, and an 18" china. Blast block, cowbell, and tambourine are from Latin Percussion.

This guy should have won.. such clarity and definition, power and chops, technical skill, creativity, speed... everything points to this man as the winner

@OlaJustin 7 лет назад

Jack Comoss agree 100 %

@akashgomes7322 5 лет назад

Marc won the drum off because of his techniques and the way he through the beat . Marc was way better although this performance his also good . How he combined speed with throwing beats he deserved to won.

@gleventhal 5 лет назад

@@akashgomes7322 Mark Papaco? I just went and watched it and I have NO IDEA how you can say he was "way better". No idea at all. This was better drumming to my ear and more interesting, though they are both pros.

@combatfitness7092 5 лет назад

I rate this guy over Fred and that winner guy.. his drum sound is very mature and it doesn’t sound like a spam bot. Fred to me sounds like drum spam. This guys touch his this solid feel .. and there’s a rhythm to follow

@PeterKimMusic 7 лет назад

Ehhh...idk i think anthony was better. Kwesi was mostly just chops

@Doatello1991 4 года назад

@Peter Kim Music And the irony for Anthony, was that he lost to Isaias in 2010 only to lose to the dude that copied Isaias Gil in this event.

@gleventhal 5 лет назад

@@MichaelJohnson-kl7rf I totally thought he was Ghanaian from his playing, he plays just like the one Ghanaian drummer I know, Yao Dinizulu. Wow, its crazy, I could tell his origin from his drumming, and I know almost nothing about Africa. Music and culture are amazing things.

This is the 5th or 6th Drum Off video I've watched but it's the first one where he actually played the drums; no gimmicks, no electronics, no annoying backup band... Maybe I'm confused by what Drum Off means cuz I expected a lot more of this style and less "artsy" crap....... BTW, this guy is freakin' awesome!
