[sidm]

after going through 3 of the finalist's videos, you cant find any fault in them, it takes years of hardwork and dedication to even reach this point. this shit aint easy

10 years ago.. Dude was and still is a animal behind the kit.

[DanteSpinotti]

Devon Taylor, what an amazing talent with his own cool groove and style.

[jordanbouma]

I couldn't help but notice the Art Blakeyish sound in the jazz part. I bet he was proud when he heard that from up above. You took that cuba jazz beat 2 a new level, great job.

[CootShooter]

This dudes transitions between fills and time changes is flawless.

[martindjong]

Now, he is Justin Bieber's drummer for Purpose Tour. Cool!!!

[TheAlbiCollier]

I think he deserves a huge endorsement as well as an award!

[MrBKreeves]

this guys got some sick grooving chops. digging it.

[lclakaiguy]

So this is the second time he's done the drum off. He needs to win already

[ddrum]

This guy is incredible... but this just wasn't his to take man. Look him up outside of this. He's seriously good 

[charlesabboud]

This guy is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE....kudos...(bow down)

[MrBrownto]

Last year people were saying he didn't do enough of this or that so this year he did it and still didn't win I feel like he should just continue to be his self and everything will come together for him all these drummers are talented and could win on any given night that night was just Juan's night I'm not going to criticize and say Devon was better cause to me they all had they moments its just Juan really shined this year so props to him he did his thing as did all the drummers

This guy is responsible for my two favorite guitar center drum off solos ever...and he hasnt won. :(

[sounddrums]

JP should've won that fair and square and he did. JP is a wonderful drummer and musically talented beyond belief. The technicality and diversity he had with his solo is almost impossible and is damn near impossible for a lot of drummers. JP Kept it musical and technical. He had so many time signatures going on at once that I found it hard to keep up. JP DESERVED THAT.

[QBdrummer]

2:55 I recognize that beat from anywhere. That's a tony royster jr lick. And Devon taylor pulled it off. This dude is amazing

[anshantactichall]

From one percussionist to another keep up the good work straight fire bro

[jeb]

My homie Stixx. Clearly the best drummer in the comp and its clear his gonna win it eventually. Most likely next year. Saw this kid grow up. Now he the Lebron James of the set

[KalimbaSpirit]

Stixxx, mang, you're the most serious "Grove Man" that I've heard in a very long time.
Keep up the great work and I'll be searching ya.

[huarachudo]

After watching lots of this videos, and paying a closer hear to the drums, I don't know why people still buys DW.

[keuntaspan]

its a stack if youre wondering about the sound.2 cymbals stacked on top for a hi hat muted kinda sound. they are so sweet
