    I've seen this solo a good, 60 times... & am now just realizing that he nailed his outro playing the kick with his left foot. wow

    people say others shouldve won, but its good that he won, he had the most creativity with a good balance of grooving and showing off his chops. plus he was hella clean with all his rolls and fills and was the only one using a 4 pc kit. gotta give props for that.

    I think he deserved the win. He wasn't the best competitor technically, but his solo was beyond clean no mistakes at all. I think a big thing that separated him was the opening and the ending. The beginning was a very creative idea open with 20th century fox like a movie almost. And it ended bad ass as well grabbing the hi hat and walking away. He just executed his solo the best and showed the most confidence. I think he deserved it that's just me tho.

      I think he was great and I really like his shirt I have to commend him on that because I wear jesus clothing too. I think jesus can cause us to do the impossible. But in musical talent I would say I think tony Taylor jr is better. But I would have to see both of them have a drum battle and see that way. Straight up right now though tony Taylor jr is better

    what you owe god for being born with this kind of talent is to work hard enough to bring it out (barring disability) - god is the sculptor only in that he guides your hand as you cut away the marble - have the faith to press on as your muscles fatigue, marble chips sting you, sweat rolls into your eyes - when there is no more to cut away, never apologize for your ability, but never take credit for it - put faith above all, even if you don't believe in a deity - and be humble!

      That'll be because there's other drummers that have played or are due to play on that same kit and have differences as to how they like their kit set up to be, so the venue has to anticipate and compensate for this.

    @slangster The thing is they (as in the drum off champions) do these things quickly with technicality and great quality dynamics and control and consistency. None of it is sloppy, it's all nice and fixed. That being said if you can pull that off, you can make some really impressive drum solos. On the other hand, a lot of people can play something quick but if it lacks sound quality and good heights or dynamics it just sounds and looks sloppy and terrible.
