I just realized that he does a righty traditional in the middle there!!!! That's what he does just to show off a littlllllle bit! He's a genius, best tenor player ever
what impresses me more than anything is this guys precision. everything is so perfect. every little stick trick, flip, one stick roll (using front and back ends) etc, is so precise and in time. It's truly amazing.
someone in my school did football and marching band and was able to pull it off because he didnt quit. just because someone says you can't do something doesnt mean you listen it just means you proove them wrong.
heh. i wish i could say the same, a couple of guys that was in the drumline with me last year at college marched Cavaliers, my old roomate was a front ensemble member for 3 years, he's also a GREAT tenor player.
This is the only I&E that he didnt drop a stick, which honestly in my opinion doesnt matter, but the reason i pointed it out is because i saw colby beers vid from '04 and there were i think two people that said COlby shouldve won over Tim, and i just thought i would ask the general public, because tim deserved first this year ha ha hands down
Some people are going too extreme, I mean, he didn't do everthing to perfection. He sometimes beats awkwardly, but his so natural arm flow fills in gaps. He is precisely God, though.
I was never in marching band in High School due to athletic commitments, but learned to drum in middle school and still play in rock bands today. One thing I don't understand is the purpose of these solo's. Is it more about showcasing technique than the actual sound? I could juggle my vic-firths all I want, it wouldn't make my band any better..........
Well he doesn't exactly have a band with him in this video. They do these solos because why the hell not try to find out who the best players are each year? They judge on how clean you play(rims, rhythmic accuracy, stroke quality, etc.), technique and (for tenors) how comfortably you move around the drums :)
I know this was years ago but come on man. he composed that whole solo on his own. That just shows you how musical he is. I don't think you understand because you never were in high school band.
@386niggah lol actually, i figured it out like the day after i posted that comment. its kinda like you flick it forward at just the right angle and it just comes back to your hand
@leftshoe0 Im with HotPotatoFever, you dont have to write music then give it to the judge or have to write just to say its on paper. Why would any of them bring up sheet music anyways? This isnt a high school competition. And then would they have the time to bring it all out anyways?
