I learn all the standard drum solos back in the 1950s, I was a member of the olph Richmond, drum and bugle Corps, my drum instructor was Eddie Fitzgerald, may he rest in peace. He told us most of the standard drum solos. And at the same time we were learning our repertoire. I was also a member of the Floyd Bennett golden eagles in 1960 and 1961, after I turn 21 I joined the Long Island sunrises 1964 through 1968. Today is June 23rd 2022. It seems like yesterday that I learned Connecticut halftime.
A classic standard and one of my favorites in the ol' Solo Snare Drummer v1 collection. I finally heard that gargle, you can tell it caught his eye as well!
We used that solo for warm ups in the 70's. Warp speed. Great playing. Tornado was my winning solo 1975. How about playing. "My friend Norman". Pratt book. Sweet contest solo. Enjoy hearing you play. Bc
Like you have stated,its to one interpretation . I think you have played it excellent. I play it at about 126 - 130 bpm using all the exact rudiments and when I get to the end its more of an exercise then a solo . the fast faster you play it ,to me any way , it becomes more a chop builder then a solo. Killer solo and killer exercise .whoooo !!!!!
I play this as a loosen up exercise then I play my warm ups to get looser. I know if I can get thru the halftime with little error I can get thru my daylies with ease .
I am an advanced beginner, not intermediate yet. I am working on the Wilcoxon Solos. Should I work on them serially in their order or jump around. So far I have worked on #1 and #2. Is there anything written about the solos that would help me utilize them better?
You do not have to learn the entire thing at one time, just do one segment at a time, until you haven't committed to memory, then move on to the next segment, so forth and so on. Eventually you will be playing the entire downfall of Paris without thinking twice. Remember practice makes perfect.

What's that weird sound at 3:12
A minecraft drowned zombie

Cool😝😎
The snare drum Dr. John Wooten plays in this video looks like it could be used in a Revolution or Civil war reenactment.
It's going to take me FOREVER to learn how to play all that.....

Do the 5 an 7 stroke rolls sound slowed down a bit every time they happen?
Are they triplet based?
I cannot put into words how hard I laughed at this comment... Oh god my sides.
seriously i need help! I've got the ludvig drum co. note but should i play with the sticking or without???
Fucking amazing o:
I keep having troubles the flams
He sounds so tired compared to how he talks in his other videos, maybe it’s just me
I was tired! We had been recording for two days!
what on earth was that sound at 3:11 sounds like a cat gargling some mouthwash
Slurred versions sound better.
Awesome!
I do wish you'd buy a metronome.
