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.
If your coach is a good coach he's supposed to also encourage you to do something other than football but still pay attention to football, if he doesn't do that he's a bad coach and a selfish douche lookin for titles and nothing else.
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.
Don't let your perception of all percussionists be warped because some jerk in your high school drumline was being ignorant...Then again, when you say "piano takes actual skill" you're implying drumming doesn't, therefore, you're just as ignorant...
Let's face it, marching band would be nothing without a drumline... But they're all cocky dicks with no right to be cocky. I play saxophone and piano, and I was telling my friend about this song I learned on piano and he was like "DUDE ALL YOU DO IS HIT SOME KEYS" And I was like "dude you're in drumline thats all YOU guys do, piano takes actual skill" TRUE WORDS RIGHT THERE.
The winner must've been fucking brilliant. Amazingly god-like. If not then there's no reason this should've lost. ~ at least that's what I heard, he lost.
Greatest tenor i&e of all time

IDK why the hell do they have the Heisman trophy, or MVP awards?
His arms look kinda funny. His chops are so beefy and then his biceps are like smaller haha.
i just noticed that he was playing cant stop by the rhcp
he is my director for percussion.
I'd love to see him and Chris Drummer face off
why haven't more people watched this!
dude that was sickkk. you like think in 32nd and 64th note rythms holy shizz
red hot chilli peppers cant stop ?
I quit football for drum line! <3
Imagine what he's playing in 2012..
This is very musical. I love seeing people who can make a solo so musical, instead of just ramming notes down the audience's throat.
1:40 OMG he did a free-hand

Oh jesus, I didn't think actual musicians really thought that any instrument was a matter of just hitting keys or a head or valves or etc
... cool story bro

Duncan you basically said that drumming and playing piano is similar, but then said that piano takes more skill
he won this year and the 2 years after. I&E tenors hasnt been the same since he aged out :/
This is insane in a strangely subdued way
Just back-faced myself orgasming to this.
i heard red hot chili peppers in the beginning lol
fuck your football coach, he cant boss you around
