Clean playing! I wanted to give some feedback, hopefully it's seen as constructive because that's what I'm aiming for. In Chalk, the tenors are pushing to drum 2 on the right hand. It may be the sound you're looking for, however this is not optimal to clean or do while marching. Move that beat 4 to drum 3, that way the right hand stays out of the way of the left stick. Same cadence, the run down the drums with the crossover to drum 4. The three beats on 1 and 2 are fine, but instead of going R3, L3, R4(crossover), I suggest you make drum 3 a double stroke and end the run on drum, four in the LEFT hand. (Left hands can be powerful too, don't neglect it!) In Owasso, mayhaps the two beats of double stroke rolls can be a tap roll to add emphasis and cleanliness. The technique in this one is very good, I like the full utilization of the arms for full strokes! Not much to say about Rodell, but side note that this one brings out the good tuning of the drums. Props to the instructor and/or band director. It's hard to find a school that tunes their drums right nowadays. One thing I do notice - and this may be your personal preference so bear with me - is that there isn't much contrast between the snares. Try to get your taps down and your accents up, rather than it looking the same all the time. As for DuhDuhDuh, you guys made me really sad when the whole thing wasn't the Mii Channel Theme. I was looking forward to it :( in all seriousness, this is clean and well played, but maybe simplify the bass part. It's flawlessly executed, however lacks any pulse because it's constant sixteenths. Gouda is GROOVY. TASTY. Love it. Plus it's the best kind of cheese. Really love the "unh, unh," buzzes on drum 4. The split part between the basses and the rest of the battery is nice too. I don't normally give feedback on videos but since becoming an instructor I try to give positive input. Looks like you're shaped up for a good year!
