      MrMagicpantz200 I am too. He has scoliosis. I was wondering if he has had corrective surgery or a back brace or is he like my sister, living with it one day at a time. It's a very painful spine curvature that will make the chest area squeeze the lungs so breathing is difficult. With my sister now, walking is difficult. She can't walk 100 yards without a wheelchair. Her back has started to slump and her doctor is predicting within 10 years, she will have a 90 degree bend. 😔

    What I like best about this performance is that this is NOT the Brandon we all "think" we know from UA-cam all these years. That Brandon, a boy, could have just hit stop and re-recorded. This Brandon is a man. He pushed through, despite what I could tell by his face for a BRIEF moment was agonizing to a perfectionist such as himself. We need more of this on UA-cam, and in society in general. The "push through". Great work, and as has been said earlier, that left hand work on the sequence at 3:20. Wow! Amazing playing and composition sir!

    I followed Brandon for years and finally met him the night of the age out process. The DCI HALL OF FAME gets the honor of handing the DCI pin to each member once they enter the field of age outs...This may sound strange but I was truly excited to meet Brandon. I got to give him his pin and mumbled some things he probably does not remember...This is an incredible drummer who dedicated years to being a CHAMPION. This time the honor was all mine.
