I'm glad to see this solo back on youtube, I was quite saddened when it got private because it's the only video that follows the piece to a T. On tempo the whole time, no sections omitted, following dynamics, played very tightly, just all around an amazing performance. I learned this piece my senior year of high school for the regional solo contest and got a perfect score which I really shouldn't have because I fumbled a couple times and due to never really having the basics drilled into me, my technique and tightness was sorely lacking. I am now actually being taught the basics in college and will once again perform this piece when I have the basics mastered. Thank you for holding my good memories by keeping this video up.
Oh wow great job! I played this great solo in 1975 and surprised all who were all playing the Nard book solos back then. I played it on the loudest drum ever. 15 in. TDR. ENJOYED THAT PERFOMANCE! bc
Killer job man!!!! I remember playing this for solo & ensemble in highschool. I got Superiors, but I wish I'd had a drum like yours to play it on!!!!!! Amazing!
That was fantastic. I saw some trouble with the same spots that always plagued me, but you handled it WAAYY better than I did! It's hard to recover from the ff dbl-strk roll that lasts 4 measures and go right into 8 or 9 16ths per hand, but man, you just blasted right through it. VERY impressive!
Nice dude! This is my favorite recording of this. Im playing this in January for a solo. Im the first freshman from my school to play the solo, so hopefully I can play it as well as you.
Wow I have to say... That was awesome, I mean, you just Nail it and your technique is really tight! The Only Thing I miss is Emotion! But really awesome technique!!!
Great Job playing this piece!! Technique is really good, too. Your tempo has a tendancy to fluctuate, but it's nothing that a little practice with a metronome can't fix. Best of luck to you!!
Hmm.... how do I acquire a drum like yours? What is the brand? What head are you using? Looks and sounds amazing. also, probably the best video of Tornado on youtube
Performance tempo? No...however, I would probably put this up there as the best performance on TH-cam. Plus, I like it a LOT better on the rope drum. Sounds more historically authentic.
Markovitch wrote this i think in 69,so rope drums weren't the rage. The rebound on that drum took away from his performance especially at letter J and the single 16ths as he was forcing the rebounds making his technique seem awkward. Probably should have stuck to Connecticut Halftime or 3 Camps.
Hello Dominick, As I am watching your video, I am noticing some technique flaws with your right hand. I am noticing that you are bending your wrist and not getting the proper arm rotation. Just something to improve on. The only other thing I noticed is a lot of upper body movement, but good job.

Perfect drum to play this on, Mitch would have been proud!
im glad to hear a non kevlar/ non practice pad version of this!!! great job!!
I've watched at least 6 different people play this solo on TH-cam and I can safely say this is the best I've come across

I love that you actually use dynamics. plus the sound quality of the head is unbeatable
by far the best quality of this solo i've found on youtube
Dominik, this is the best performance I've seen on TH-cam!
I'm working on this solo and I can vouch. This guy's got some mad chops. I can barely do it that fast in match.

Ikr, I had trouble in that spot too
great dynamics and sound quality man!
Nice job Dominick. I really enjoyed your performance.

Hope you performed well. I’m in the exact same situation only mine is in May
@Brook3952 i really appreciate that dude. your drumming videos are amazing, especially that solo.
Wow I have to say... That was awesome, I mean, you just Nail it and your technique is really tight! The Only Thing I miss is Emotion! But really awesome technique!!!
nice work Dominick, when you reach the backhand solo, keep your form tight and the sound more consistent, great job!
post a vid of you playing it then
@dom good: dude, he's just trying to give advice, you did a great job, but it's very unprofessional to counter constructive criticism
Great Job playing this piece!! Technique is really good, too. Your tempo has a tendancy to fluctuate, but it's nothing that a little practice with a metronome can't fix. Best of luck to you!!
I don't know why I picked this one but i'm going to try my best to complete this solo and perfect it (pray for me) lol

Yeaaaah!!! Compliments dude
Wow, that was very good, just watch that pulse in your rolls, but excellent job.
great drumming
You should definitely grow a mustache.
i believe he has proven that, "perfect practice makes perfect." =]
good Lord.
if you didnt get in, i dont know who would.
bravissimo!!!
where can you find a snare like that?
yes.
Smile! It's Christmas, did that drum come from under the tree?
Where does one buy a rope drum? I've always wanted to play on one.
