Excerpt from Katahj Copley's "Dope" played on 12/7/23 with the UAB Wind Symphony.
EDIT 1/13/24:
To answer some of the questions people posed in comments: the drums are Pearl Masters Maple series (5x14 snare, 8/10/12/14/16 toms, 22 kick) with Evans drumheads; yes, it is an improvised solo...the entire piece is around 18 minutes long (full video also on my page), and this part literally says "optional drum set solo" with nothing else indicated, so I'm not using the sheet music for this particular section; and lastly...YES, huge Neil Peart (and Rush) fan! Started playing drums 40+ years ago because of them, and the cross-sticking section is my NP tribute. Glad some of you noticed!
Kind of an odd solo for that moment but still skilled as heck
How? In the context we were given it was a great solo
Wasn't odd at all.
Yeah felt very Rock
@@mrmisfit635 I think it's very off from what we heard, which isnt much, do you have more context to draw from?
@@Antech666For starters, those rudiments he's incorporating in this solo predates rock. His opening statements were perfectly played buzz or press rolls, most commonly used in classical music, not to mention the orchestral setting.
That snare sounds amazing. Wish I could get mine to sound like that
Me too🥁🥁🥁
just tune it up....unless it's a highly amature set.
Some good drum heads and tune em
@@fablenewsnetwork7223 easier said than done. I wonder what make snare that is?
such a calm solo
That was sweet! I immediately started smiling when the double bass came in! Well played sir 🥁
Great job! Thank you for putting your own spin on the free cadenza of DOPE! You definitely got my praise!
And to any drummers out there watching this, go listen to the work and make your own "dope" solo, put it out there and I'll check it out!
-Katahj Copley, the literal composer.
Thank you so much!!! What a wonderful addition to the wind band repertoire...great piece!!!
There are many phrases and riffs that are exquisitely Neil Peart-esque. It can't be a coincidence.
So relaxed. You'd hardly think that legend spent upwards of 30 years getting to this point. A joy to hear.
This guy used double bass in classical. Dream come true.
Great work, nice example also for my advanced Students, thanks for sharing !
The way my jaw dropped when he started double bassing on damn classical music. Incredibly talented.
1:03 Neil Peart move right there :)
Buddy Rich actually. Neil was heavily inspired by him.
Over all, this also reminded me of Thin Lizzy drummer Brian Downey's solo
Good catch!
A talented drummer..
Now that’s a drummer!!!!
I never act as a critic of musicians. Im 62 years old have been behind a drum kit since 6th grade. But how can anyone say this was a great solo ? Animal, the red hairy character on Sesame Street is more exciting to watch.
Now that's one special Drum Solo Drum Brother! Well done
That was just fabulous
Tuned to perfection
Fantastic
As a drummer of 36 years, that was lifeless.
Agreed. No chicken skin there. Where’s the heart? Feel? Passion????
@@RtaniDean That is orchestra musik. Everything is on point. How can you express passion with a conductor?
@@Asmodai281 I’ve played orchestral and a solo is a solo. A drum solo is a solo… to enhance authenticity and a sense of improvisation is certainly permitted almost always (even if sign posts are predetermined by musician and or conductor. As I referred in my comment and to answer you, it’s achieved Namely by dynamic nuances and inflections by the artist. Don’t get my comment wrong- he’s certainly a skilled musician- I just found his solo lacking in inspiration. He has good chops, just a rather static solo imho. That’s just an opinion though and should be perceived as such. Thanks for asking. Again, he is a skilled player!
less energy than a dead moth
@@Asmodai281 This guy has never played in an orchestra lmao. The conductor just keeps time and sometimes gives queues for when instruments come in. There's also an element of showmanship for the audience. I bet you think learning how to read music is cheating, too lol
truly awesome
sorry, not at all awesome!🙂
It’s a no for me as well
😎👏🏼👏🏼🎶🎶 great job. Yes when you have orchestra I am very surprised they gave you that many measures to play.-😅- but you did it
こんにちは。素晴らしいです。素敵なビデオをありがとうございます。😊
Wonderful
Very nice....!
metal-focused drummer in a clasical composition lol
This guy is definitely not metal-focused or a trap player. He's an orchestral guy passing himself off like he actually knows how to play a drumkit and he definitely, I can assure you, does not.
@@ollaitsrealgood Bro he clearly knows how to play. He clearly has good technique which can only be achieved with years of playing and practice
@@ollaitsrealgoodHilariously jumping the shark there. He’s replete with rudiments and touch, full complement of technique, the only thing he doesn’t give here is a ton of dynamics. In any case, he’s clearly reading this as, at least, charts off the page…
@@ollaitsrealgoodExplain please?
@@ollaitsrealgoodYou must be quite a miserable person.
Nice solo. Very technical
A professional walking in the park. Loved it.
Well done Sir
first double kick ive ever seen at a wind symphony
Get it Gene!!!!
Thanks John!
Why is everyone acting like this is the best thing ever? He's playing a watered down Neil Peart drum solo. Starting at 4:25

Check out updated description...
You need to play more Kansas!!
Double bass in a concert setting, you don’t see that everyday lol
Not bad. Love the drum kit, what brand and series?
Check updated description...thanks!
I could not help thinking that the "Kingpin" was conducting the orchestra...
Это что было😂🤣🤣😂😂. Сдача технического зачёта в классе ударных инструментов.
Looks like Mike Judge behind the kit.
Dobr ga ruži stric ... 👍🥁
Would of loved to see some concept for it. Great though.
what snare are you using gene?? it sounds great!
Check updated description...thanks!
oooo a lil Zep influence.
GREAT JOB 👏👏👏 🤘🤘 🤔🤔DO YOU HAPPEN TO LIKE RUSH ?? JUST ASKING😉
Yes! Check updated description...thanks!
I can't tell from the lugs what kind of kit that is... don't see any badges either, but it sounds premium
Looks to be Pearl Masters Premium
@@solarflair2605 yeah, that's possible...the lugs looked a bit long, but it's likely just the camera angle
@@Gooden_Eye Pearl drum kit. Pearl hardware.
@@Odthean well, we won't hold it against him 😁✌️
@@Gooden_Eye Haha I'm more of a Yamaha guy, but I've played some killer Pearl kits. The session custom line or the masters lines are wonderfully made. Japanese precision 👍👍
I heard some Neil Peart in there
Yes! Check updated description...thanks!
I want to learn
Dig it
Who are some of your biggest influences on drums?
Lots throughout the years...check updated description though.
Imma fuck wit this
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
Ma786sai Dua outstanding
Skilled? Yes. Weird? Definitely. Maybe with more context but this solo just seems out of place, robotic, and uninspired. He is a hell if a drummer so I would put this more on the arrangement. The sight reading is weird. It just makes for a robotic solo.
I agree. As a drummer myself, it could have had more dynamics. It just lacked that human touch.
@@vernonsteinkamp1088 It's the musical equivalent to calling your cable company and talking to a call center where they are reading a script and don't ever deviate from what is written.
Sterile
Neil is like he's playing "Mission" at 20 bpm
Nice to hear resonant drums that don't sound like cardboard boxes.
Man this is like CAVS - T2JD
Ha ha, that was weird
He's RUSHing . ( Only fans of Neil peart will understand)
Where you rushing or dragging?😉👍
Yes, I knew it was the Caravan Solo, 😂
@@sethputnamsghost6538that teacher was a maniac 😂😂
Did you know the story was based on the directors own life, so that teacher existed 😂😂
@@AB-vj3sk I'll try again...his chops are in the style of genius drummer of the band Rush : Neil Peart . So ... He's RUSHing
@@marcos_c_m I think it was the rushing or are you dragging comment I read which is from Whiplash
That's One Beefy Taco 🌮
War ok, auf Nummer Sicher 😉👍👍👍🥁
What was that? I must be an ignorant, nothing against the technique that is awesome... but for me it seems there was nothing related and only technologgy bubble. I did not understand this solo.
What do you mean by technology
@@zenthous9568 he meant technique but hes only mad he can't play it i liked it
It's not got much feeling I would have to say. Sight reading player and non sight reading players.
@@ivanalt I never wrote that I can play like him. I WROTE that his technique is awesome. I put respect on him. So what you want with your shit to call me "mad". It has no sensce to discuss with people like you.
@@zenthous9568 I meant technique.
Что за песня? Найк Борзов автор?😅
What on earth was that ?????
Kind of looked like some guy playing the drums an' stuff.
Something you cant do
fast food an slowly hand-beat. A little bit Thomas Lang ?!?!?!
Охренеть!!! А в оркестрах на кардане играют? Привет из России!!!
Оркестровый барабанщик заболел, нашли металлюгу😅
I thought they would start playing Moby Dick.
Такой дядька взрослый сидит за барабанами и играет соло детской музыкальной школы) Привет из России)
Polyrhythms right?
No.
I thought the dude to his left had a big beard but it was the woman's hair next to him lol.
rofl
Umm. Umm.
What about reading the chart?
lol you don't read a chart when you are doing a drum solo.
He's got composer permission to do whatever! :)
Should've been played with soul. Shouldn't have followed music sheet for drum solo.
…
아마추어네여
This is very strange
Highly suggest looking up the piece Dope by Katahj Copley
No John Bonham.
not a good solo, too mechanical, lacks a flow...
Где я та та? Неровно старик...
I think a drum solo should be improvised. This one seems kind of written or planned and practiced, but it doesn’t flow so well.
People like to criticise. He didn't glance at the sheet music once during the solo. He's playing in an orchestra so of course it's required when playing along with them. I thought he did a great job.
@@jmysflix Nothing wrong with criticism. It's feedback. People have all the liberty to listen to it or not. Have a great day!
Improv is for Jazz and rock& roll...This is neither😂. There's 40 other musicians and a conductor that needs to be considered
@@Stickmasterrryou are a clown.
There's always some douchey naysayer no matter what the post. Any guy referring to himself as "master" is a douche nozzle to me. Same with a guy who calls himself a "Renaissance Man". My guess is all you've "mastered" is irritating people.
Mah
Strange. Not bad but strange
Seems incongruous for an orchestra, but cool...
lo siento pero a sido penoso
kinda quirky (not smooth)......upper high school level.
Does he need too be like Donati,Lang or Portnoy?accept it for what it is.
Ringo, Charlie Watts and Phil Collins got away with it for years.
As an orchestral drummer, hitting your sticks is poor form.
Steve Gadd's Aja solo wants to know your location.
@@GeoffBoscogadd did it on purpose. Word on the street is they ran the tune a second time, and he did the same thing. Check it out.
@@karlplaysdrums Then, why did Steve Gadd's wife state publicly that he answered it was an accident when she asked him about it?
@@GeoffBosco to get her off his back.
I heard the clams too ... Which means, just change the title of the video--not dope.
I'm sorry, but I don't think it's good. I don't see much skill. It was not fluid but choppy instead. There was no life or energy in the solo. There was no rhythmic development. It was just pieces of first I play this, then I play this etc...
Basic
those toms sounded terrible
Why did UA-cam recommend this to me? That was not very good.
Boring, as a drummer, drum solos are largely unnecessary, just play the music,
Square.
mediocre at best! IMO😊
Meh
Отвратительно
Какой-то херни понавалял.... плюс позаниматься бы парню не помешает :)
This is the oddest moment I've ever seen...a random drum solo in the midlde of a symphony orchestra. wtf
Go listen to the full piece- you'll understand!
