      @matthewharper8266 Před 9 lety +9

      palominojocelyn As far as the music goes its somewhere between bass and snare in difficulty when you get to drum corps level. Snare is the hardest because of the perfect technique and chops and what not. But at a highschool level its hardest.

    At the start of the solo he hit his sticks and a few rims on accident but I am truly impressed by the the way his wrists were moving in the single stroke roll but I am most impressed by the way he's able to move around and get a good tone he's devoted hours into this and he deserves 1st place.

    "I can do better" "clean up those rim hits" "you rushed this and dragged here" how about you guys put your money where your mouth is. No solo will ever be perfect. Ever. something will be wrong. If it was perfect then it wouldn't be fun. The point of solos and band in general is trying to make it as close to perfect as possible but to reach perfect would take the humanness out of the whole idea. Mistakes happen to even the best players, so just because you're in high school and you learned a few terms doesn't mean you can point out any bad technique problems or how easy his solo is. You aren't a fucking judge. Get over it and enjoy the video.

      ***** Im doing the exact same thing!! Im first bass but i wanna learn tenors.

    • @neftaligaona4350
      @neftaligaona4350 Před 9 lety

      The majority of bass 1 players do end up going into the tenor line since they most likely already have the fastest hands on the bassline (not always) but most of the time their fast hands are why they're on bass 1 in the first place

    too many stick clicks,to repeatitive , good triplet roll with cross stick should control the stick tosses better other that that and a few others the composition was great Good luck in the future.
