PASIC Finale 2018... 6 generations of DCI snare champions... we had to play something together :-) I love the fact that you can hear the progression of tuning, with the tap-offs, from the 60's to today...
@@SupraaHero I know it was rehearsed. I was making a lighthearted joke. Some drummers like to show off. That's what we do. In this case, I don't think anybody was expecting visuals in the tap off which made for a cool and exciting ending.
ScoJo! Had the privilege to meet you at Stanford in maybe 2013-14. Thank you for taking the time and thank you for all you have done for percussionist across N. America.
I miss DCI all the time, being around guys like Jeff Queen, Nick Angelis, the center snare from my Corp when I aged out Doug Clark and you ScoJo, you were at the Blue Devils as Caption head by the time I came into the fold but I miss you guys.
He has the most perfect stance possible for a marching drummer when playing. And in visual terms, is one of the best things because he stands out more than the others in a good way. Jeff Queen is a legend and a huge inspiration.
@@hooray4paradiddles the football Jeff Queen and that one are the same bc if you look at the pics In the football articles he looks the same as in the vid
“More suspect” as In more rhythmically complex? Which was the entire purpose of the demonstration to begin with? Are you claiming that they weren’t in time or what?
Probably because it’s traditional.... also match grip on snare looks way too symmetrical and therefore ugly. Also it’s not terrible for posture and your muscles if you actually learn how to do it properly.
I mean Brandon has scoliosis which being a percussionist doing that I have so much respect for. The modern drums are heavier and that means more painful in general to use them
I understand that traditional grip came from drumming-as-a-time-keeper for troops on battle field, e.g.., Revolution War period, when the drummer would actually need to be able to sling the drum to their side, AND keep playing, whilst marching/running from to/from opponents
have to admit, somewhere down the line, you get hear a drop in quality of attack and tempo. alright i will tell you. the last 2 have horrible quality and temp control . its like they are millenials...oh , they are. too much rap and metronome electronica...while the others graduated from the metronome long ago, and went way past it.
Is that why one of the older guys (Scott Johnson) taught one of the younger guys (Brandon Olander) using a “metronome electronica?” Interesting how the older guys supposedly “graduated” from metronomes but still teach people to use them 🤔
