Ramon Sampson - Guitar Center's 21st Annual Drum-Off Winner (2009)

[MrMetalclay]

One of the best solos I've seen. Very original, the running bits, Smooth Criminal/glove bit. Swapping cymbals attacking the bottom of the snare. He's like a mad scientist drummer.

[averagebusinessmen]

love that he played an incredible solo with 4 drums, shows that it's all about skill

[agnostick]

I've watched this clip several times over the last two years. Love this kid's chops and creativity. There's no hiding behind a four piece kit; it's all business. Bravo.

[Carpenter]

One of the most creative drummers I've ever heard. Even the flashy stuff he did had musicality to it, so it wasn't all for looks. 

[asljahfaklsf]

who's still watching this in 2018?

[ThePoupounou]

Still watching in 2019 ! Good drumming doesn’t age !

[zaksylvester]

the level of creativity he has in this is unreal! such a great solo. 

[vvylev]

sick drummer and sick ending, just epic improvisation at the end when the guy told him "close it up" ... very nice !! thumbs up

[PillowMethod]

I am inspired by this solo, everytime I watch it. He is fast and less flash than most. He is actually using the sticks on the Drums, instead of spinning them.
I pray that God continues to bless this kid. It is very difficult to get up, in front of all them people, and just break off a drum solo, and cram as much of your best chops into 5 minutes. He tore this up!

[mwfac]

Omg his skills are soooo good, working on getting that good. Love his technique and how he reacts with the crowd

[BrianPrince]

THE CLEANEST & MOST ENTERTAINING SOLO I'VE EVER SEEN! This man uses the pole as a part of the drum. He make sounds come from ever part of the drums! Awesome, truly awesome!

[aaronvasquez]

The best thing about this is that he went single pedal through whole thing!

[robertandrewww]

Been years since I’ve seen this man I’m glad I found it again!

[drumstudu]

SMOKING!!! Not only great to listen to, but fun to watch as well...very diverse and musical solo.Loved every bit of it! I can't believe you did all that with a 4pc set....time to go practice...A LOT!

[bball]

Out of every drum off winner, this guy has the fastest hands I've ever seen!

[carletonmartin]

To the best I heard yet... Keep up the great work brother.

[onthebridge]

I love the way he got the crowd into it. Very impressive, and he seems to love what he's doing.

[nano]

2:42 Ahah.. it's funny to see that people start clapping right to the rhythm but as soon as it became more complicated they got all confused

[upbeatmantis]

man.. drum off just gets better and better every year.. pools of pure talent out there.. makes me wanna practice harder.. \m/

[speedster]

i love the creativity, and as drumming being an art, art being self expression, that was very original
