On January 20th, 2012, Roland hosted the final showdown of its first-ever V-Drums World Championship. Held at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California, the event coincided with the 2012 Winter NAMM Show and attracted an enthusiastic crowd of nearly 700. - เพลง
The whole solo was excuted very well, and the way he incorperated the sampling of so many elements were very creative. To be honest, you sold me at 2:36. The Rhode one shots and acoustic plucks accompanied by those soft vocals, with that fusion drum lick literally left me speechless. For my taste, that was really the only part of the solo I musically enjoyed, however I respect the technicality and overall composition. But 2:36 was like a dream.
This was sick!!!, drumming is not only about speed.its about being creative in every way. and jp was .he made everything his own.he should of won.
Sam Herrera should HAVE won. Or should've. Not of...
Amazing❤
amazing and very creative!
This was awesome!
JP you are a legend!!!
3:45 was just amazing I did not expect that two big thumbs up
JP u deserve the first place !
2:49 is such a beautiful piece of music to listen to
I think Jp was pretty creative here. He mixed several different genres, and even played acoustic guitar on the pads, because of that, he was all over the place; and cramming America down everyone's throat probably didn't help. The winner's solo was consistent and he did a lot of looping, which the ambient noise and accents were nice, but he shouldn't have laid down that first beat as it conflicted with some of the ones he played on the kit; tough call really.
And it really showed American pride, respect.
Brilliant
Is awesome
brilliant
I want to know how they judge these things? How do you pick a winner, they are all awesome
how the fuck does this not have more views
swwwwwwwwwwwwwettttt.. i want this drumset so badd!!
what an opening what is that by the way i know its on the roland sampling pad
Does anyone know where the 2:48 vocals are from? Who is the singer, or what song is it?
3:30 uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh this is soooo good
Killer!!
Solos aren't everything - And this much extras added, no wonder Baard won.
hes a drum 1st
Dude, this is absolutely filthy!
those trousers though
This was truly a brilliant performance! Just the set up for all the samples was a bitch. And, the fact that we have a drummer that knows intervals, chords, and sampling, is amazing in itself. I heard the winning entry for this contest, and Mr. Bouvet was robbed of the title in my opinion. A V Drum performance does not get more clever than this guy in my opinion.
this dude was trash
wonder if he had won 2nd place if there had been no american judges
Lol, IMHO, I think this solo is better than the one he won with.
That jungle stuff was epic.
Dumb question, why make an expensive ROUND RUG (if it says Roland, it's GOING to cost you :), when you obviously need a SQUARE ONE??
2:49 so creative!
very cool ! 3:28
All its needs its like a 1996 Dodge Ram doing a burnout in the background during the first minute.
That sounded like Mark Mothersbaugh.
3.44 that is my favourite moment :)
oh yeah you got major chops and can really play technically. BUT HOW DOES IT SOUND?
I think it would be too easy to have given 1st place to this guy. They wanted him to come back and try again. :). He is very entertaining.
Best version of American anthem ever!!! JP rulez!!! (He should've been first, by my humble opinion. Winner just "plays drums" - he's playing like he's sitting behind acoustic set... :-/ But that's just my opinion... ;-))
peace
I have no chance of getting into the Berklee College of Music, lol. JP I wish you lived in Utah, there are so few teachers here.
Adam Gonzalez have you tried something like Skype, but that actually works...? lol. :)
No, I haven't thought of skype. I'm gonna move to L.A. next fall, and enroll at a music school there. In the meantime I'm gonna do a semester at a local school.
So much more musical than Baard.
2:49 What song is that?? Absoloutley beautiful!!!
What model is he using?
td-20 or td-30,not sure..
TD-20KX
I think the only reason why he might've not won the competition is because of tempo keeping in some parts and some samples. but the rest was perfect!
It's not bad at all. It's not something I'd listen to 800 times, like Al Blake's "Pensavita." Even with WAY less stuff going on, you gotta be able to play a part that's very, very simple on paper, and make it FEEL LIKE some sh*t. And in some cases, do THAT for 8:30. A lot of fast, flashy kids can't pull off a simple, believable basic four with soul to save themselves. There's a lot of music on the basic four structure, including the Phil.Collins. Not as much on crazy, unmarketable, undanceable stuff. And even so, only other drummers remember it. That's a small group.
The problem is that a lot of solo/contest stuff is made to be showy, not memorable, nor danceable. I think of Nick Mason on Pink Floyd, or Phil Collins on "In the Air Tonite." A lot of it isn't HARD to play, but they're all memorable, and most importantly, danceable. Bernard Purdie (Steely Dan) told me to make sure you could dance to it, no matter what crazy sh*t you do. Because if the young chicks in the front row aren't shaking it, you aren't getting paid. That's unacceptable. Bernard LIKES to get paid, lol. Can't go wrong with rhythmic stuff. Look at Louie Bellson or Gene Krupa. They might not be as cool as Buddy, and they both said so themselves, but damn they had danceable DOWN.
Can't go wrong with jungle drums, babe.
if it were up to me, and covers were no issue, I'd go do Pink Floyd or In the Air Tonite, making it look like more than it is with a lot of feel. I've never even HEARD OF a singing drummer in one of these contests, but that's EXACTLY where I'd go. LOTS OF drummers can out-flash me, and double pedal my butt into the ground, but I have a great feel, great hands AND I can sing. I'd go simple, rhythmic and powerful. Think Meg White with more skill and fills. More like "Lazaretto," which requires a real drummer, not me and certainly not Meg. Power and rhythm. A no-fail.
MURICA!
Petuh
He will sound really good on a real drum set
Oooohhh say can you- DUBSTEP!!$*&*#&@
It's Arni
This solo is American as fuck!
Meh. Some parts, impressive. For the most part, blah.
I never knew a drum solo can be so corny? From the mohawke, to the pants, to the generic metal breakdown, to the midi animal sounds, to the national anthem, to the brostep, to the stick spinning, to the lights, etc. All the gimmick boxes are ticked on this cheese.
+Eli Maki Cringeworthy I'd say...
Well , JP Bouvet happens to be one of the best young drummers alive! Although I don't think this is his best solo
This is far from Bouvet’s best solo, but it’s still leagues ahead of most drummers these days
1:30 = THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
Wack
