knows the instrument has excellent technique, knows how the get the sounds he wants out of the various pieces of the instrument. love that cymbal riff at the beginning. top notch peace )
I was at this. He gave one of the best motivational speeches I have ever been in attendance of. Before he played he explained how much he loves his new HHX setup, and the benefits of playing open handed. This isn't a conventional rock solo, nor should it be compared to one.
Dom is 1 of the drumming masters,his sense of time,sound, colors and style make him unique. Dom knows how to constuct solos, what and what not to play, it's why this man can can hold master drum classes throughout the world. And BTW Doms a nice dude as well.
@Fartermcfart67 hes actually very good in technique, but he isnt known for his drumming hes known for his teaching, he is one of the best instructors out there, he knows and has developed many techniques
@elrojomuerto6x he's a great drummer with a very unique style, but some of his motions are fulminant and a little bit aggressive, he's playing like a punisher :)
I love Dom, I`ve seen lot of videos with him... He is great... Solo - very nice... It`s very great with balance... One of the most awesome solos I`ve ever heard.... THANX FOR YOU DOM!!!
I live a block away from him. I'm good friends with his son :) Trust me, his style is a lot different than others. And he can literally beat you down with the drums sticks. He's a legend
so true! i think regardless of style and even maybe instrument this guy will leave you breathless hes just a musical inspiration to everyone... and seems to be the nicest guy to walk the planet! ha
This show was in São Paulo in Brazil in a festival called Batuka! Brasil International Drum Fest! Dom Famularo played there 07/18/2010 with John Riley (EUA), Fernando Amaro (BR) and Christiano Rocha (BR). I was there and was a great show. He's Very Good! And i could get his autograph.
You may be right about the musician part but his solos are sooo tasteful and full of finesse and I tend to forget about his studio experience. Take Dennis Chambers for example he has a black hole of a pocket and he has been on albums that my parents grew up listening to but everybody loves him for his chops and fast solos....
@mschmidt163 with dom i would imagine its a feel thing with him. hes such an emotion based drummer. He is a morller technician but i would imagine he goes with whatever works based upon the situation,
i have some points to make about this guy. 1 he is a really nice guy i met him at drummer live this year. 2 he does some really wierd things sort of like a puppet lol (amazin tho he is) 3. he looks so much like my maths teacher its scary
Seriously? Dom is not only a Sabian endorser, but one of their top spokespersons. He can have all the cymbals he wants just by asking. Why would he even NEED to steal a cymbal?
Even if you are not playing against a metronome you could still be off. Like if i was playing a standard rock-beat and accidentally played a flam between my bassdrum and hi-het and my snare and hi-hat
I actually agree with you skinnymoo....im not a big fan of this solo either... i think he can do much better. There weren't many things covered in that solo, to consider it godly..
good work DOM ;).....you are the best ! ! ! but my drum solo is inspired by steve smith :) look and comment thansk people.....p.s i use muffle for my drum kit....:)
They know how to do all that difficult stuff, but they don't need to let everybody know. They know. that's what matters - go to the olympic games for drummers all you "best drummers in the world" - it's goin' the wrong way. cheers
here's what I think: is there a single video on youtube, where famularo plays with a band? He's only playin' drum battles or solos or maybe clinics. NOT A SINGLE VIDEO ABOUT BANDPLAYING. NO GROOVE.
He may be a great teacher, a wonderful technician and so on... i know. BUT: DRUMMIN' is no competition. Drummin is not about who is faster, louder or more artistique. It's about music - all these youtube drummers, havein' thousands of drums, pedals and cymbals - what are you doing? why are max roach, tony williams, buddy rich, steve gadd, vinnie collaiuta and all the others considered to be the idols of zillions of drummers? Because what the do is not playin' drums, THEY PLAY MUSIC.
I can't think of any. I remember when i was studying with a student of his, Dean Sanderson in NJ, he said Journey made him an offer in the late 80s and he turned it down. Other than that, I have no idea except for a handful of one-off shows.
Rest in peace to the World’s Happiest Drummer. What an inspiration. Love ya Dom.
Dom is a great example of uninhibited expression. What a creative an explosive solo - not simply an expose' of technique... I love it! Thx Dom
RIP Dom, I loved all the clinics you did on Long Island and the lesson I took with you at the Wis-Dom Drum Shed! Thanks for the inspiration♥
He may not be the best drummer, but he certainly is the coolest! You can se on his face that hes not only feeling the beat, He IS the beat!!
knows the instrument has excellent technique, knows how the get the sounds he wants out of the various pieces of the instrument. love that cymbal riff at the beginning. top notch

LOVE IT DOM! So fun to listen to you play.....especially with the volumn up!
As a drummer of 30yrs experience iam pained and also delighted to admit that I've only just found this amazing human. ❤❤❤

That was INCREDIBLE!!!!! Amazing solo!
Such a sad loss. a beautiful human who loved drums and drumming and sharing his passion
2:28
his double bass drum stroke roll is amazing :o
@elrojomuerto6x he's a great drummer with a very unique style, but some of his motions are fulminant and a little bit aggressive, he's playing like a punisher :)
holy shit!!! I have this drum set! i had no idea this video was up!! they ordered my kit, he played on them and i bought them!
I love Dom, I`ve seen lot of videos with him... He is great... Solo - very nice... It`s very great with balance... One of the most awesome solos I`ve ever heard.... THANX FOR YOU DOM!!!
I had dinner with the guy about 10 years ago in Vancouver,I am tall at 6'4" hes like 7' tall man what a massive heavy hitting drummer
I live a block away from him. I'm good friends with his son :) Trust me, his style is a lot different than others. And he can literally beat you down with the drums sticks. He's a legend
He's still Long Island right?
wow that's some impressive foot speed! i've only read Dom's print stuff this is the first time i've seen him play. killer!
and this.is why hes WORLDS.drum ambassador.
god i almost just shed a tear... amazing...
Cracks me up....his arms are amazing :)
so true! i think regardless of style and even maybe instrument this guy will leave you breathless hes just a musical inspiration to everyone... and seems to be the nicest guy to walk the planet! ha
His Feet Here Are Killer And He'd Only Been Playing Match Grip For 3-4 Years At This Point! Absolute MONSTER Solo!!!!!!!!
i just bought that higher 18" china he's playing, best china cymbal i have EVER played
This show was in São Paulo in Brazil in a festival called Batuka! Brasil International Drum Fest!
Dom Famularo played there 07/18/2010 with John Riley (EUA), Fernando Amaro (BR) and Christiano Rocha (BR). I was there and was a great show. He's Very Good! And i could get his autograph.
at least his glasses still intact
New name for dom, the wizard!! Magic......!!!!
And the coolest. Just look how happy he is!:L Mind you if I could play drums like that I'd never stop smiling either!
I still love this video! Never gets old!
You may be right about the musician part but his solos are sooo tasteful and full of finesse and I tend to forget about his studio experience. Take Dennis Chambers for example he has a black hole of a pocket and he has been on albums that my parents grew up listening to but everybody loves him for his chops and fast solos....
i was talkin to this guy at drumfest last year but didnt know who he was then lol. i didnt even know he was famous, wish id got his autograph now
Because you want to hit the "top" of it, not the side, for the best sound. It's just easier to hit that sweet spot when it's on an angle like that.
im sorry but this guy is far from crap he is a legend and a half
Rockin the tie!
@mschmidt163 with dom i would imagine its a feel thing with him. hes such an emotion based drummer. He is a morller technician but i would imagine he goes with whatever works based upon the situation,
SICK! Rest in Power Dom!
i have some points to make about this guy. 1 he is a really nice guy i met him at drummer live this year. 2 he does some really wierd things sort of like a puppet lol (amazin tho he is) 3. he looks so much like my maths teacher its scary
love the dynamics
LUV YA DOM !
Dude. Dom will always surprise you with his playing. . 3:57 ... Just randomly starts playing kick at Death-Metal speed.. because he can.
he's torturing the drumkit
😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
@timotdrums1 ...or a portnoy/richardson fan.
buddy rich said one time "someimes less is more"
the teacher rulzzzzz 8)
i saw him live yeeeears ago. really amazing. someone asked if he played heel up or heel down but he never got around to answering it!!!! anyone know?
ah yeah, I have to agree with that. although sometimes I feel that double bass peddles are overused :)
1:26 FUCK YEAH
amazing its sound like double base but it is only the right foot
wow, how did he do his thing at 2:29. He did a buzz roll and pull out his stick. Cool!
exelente cuando volvera a victoria tamaulipas mexico!!!
1:21 Dom Famularo on drugs
@Fartermcfart67 He would take you to school.
I dare anyone to play this video for the first time without audio, and not laugh.
thats like asking him if playing open handed is necessary
youre definately right!
I had no idea Phil Jackson was that sick at set
Seriously? Dom is not only a Sabian endorser, but one of their top spokespersons. He can have all the cymbals he wants just by asking. Why would he even NEED to steal a cymbal?
Dat Snare♥
playing a flam would't put you out of time, because if the main note is on the doown beat it's still in time.
5 Stars definitely.
why you are so amazed by this drum solo if everyone of you could play this?????
he's played for LOADS of people world over!
i'm sorry, i can't tell if this dude is joking or not.... i just don't see it.
1:26 Dom Famularo on acid
un saluto da Maitreya Sorrentino.
Even if you are not playing against a metronome you could still be off. Like if i was playing a standard rock-beat and accidentally played a flam between my bassdrum and hi-het and my snare and hi-hat
It is a solo. It is played on drums. It is a drumsolo :D
I actually agree with you skinnymoo....im not a big fan of this solo either... i think he can do much better. There weren't many things covered in that solo, to consider it godly..
good work DOM ;).....you are the best ! ! ! but my drum solo is inspired by steve smith :) look and comment thansk people.....p.s i use muffle for my drum kit....:)
he coaches Igor Falecki now he will surely become as good as the master :)
They know how to do all that difficult stuff, but they don't need to let everybody know. They know. that's what matters - go to the olympic games for drummers all you "best drummers in the world" - it's goin' the wrong way. cheers
everybody just seems to think that if it's an older person with fast foot technique, they must just be using single foot. haha.
well said
I was his grand student, since my teacher was his student at the time.
Right?
Dave weckl.!
he s my teacher
@lucas266 Who TAUGHT Bozzio? Yup.
here's what I think:
is there a single video on youtube, where famularo plays with a band? He's only playin' drum battles or solos or maybe clinics. NOT A SINGLE VIDEO ABOUT BANDPLAYING. NO GROOVE.
He may be a great teacher, a wonderful technician and so on... i know. BUT: DRUMMIN' is no competition. Drummin is not about who is faster, louder or more artistique.

who is barker??, and i am 80 yrs old, and a buddy rich fan. he is dead if you didn't know.
JJJeeebaniutki dziadek ;-)
2019
no doubt, he has some amazingly fast feet.
1:28 left hand
😂😂😂😂
how can his timing be off? he isnt' playing against any backing so, there isn't really a pulse, it could be in any time signature.
@csillagasz what do you mean by that??
How did he managed to make those chinas sound like he muted them right after hitting them? At 1:34
word
I bet Lars Ulrich could do that if he wanted to...
Actually I hate it. :S
But theres luckily space for both you, Mr Famularo and myself in this world.
please tell me what band he played with??
I can't think of any. I remember when i was studying with a student of his, Dean Sanderson in NJ, he said Journey made him an offer in the late 80s and he turned it down. Other than that, I have no idea except for a handful of one-off shows.
He is soooo strange!!
haha oops moeller
@crimn are a 13 year old barker fan??
You know, if you were a real drummer you would understand this IS music.
may con el tren
lol i change mi mind. dont pause it at 4:23 impossible. pause it at :27 seconds. hilarious
does he play open handed?
