Amazing Snare Drum Solo Dylan Elise 2011 Part 8/10

Filmed in Wellington, New Zealand at the NZI sevens street party.

I am a drummer, born in the 70s. I have honestly never seen any drummer as good as this man. This video is ten years old. I know the world is full of millions of people, and there is no way you can see them all, but I have literally seen and heard thousands of percussionists. The tricks he did with the spinning of the sticks, although this is not necessary to play, is extraordinary. The way he played and did not miss a beat or a lick, and how fast he was going. using shallow travel type drums that can enable you to play faster, more freely, and more crisp, is what it is all about in these settings anywhere. I admire and respect him.

I actually have incorporated some of what he does, because I believe when you play, you are a melody, a song, not just an instrument. He really took over and commanded the drums. If I had even 30 percent of his talent. To me he is the most amazing drummer I have ever witnessed. I say that when I first saw him, and I still say that now. I also believe because of his younger age at the time, he is most definitely a prodigy to be able to play beyond anything you can fathom.

so strange its only 10 yrs ago but people had attention span without having to get their phones out, hardly anyone was filming, just being there, only 10 fcking yrs ago! life has changed so quick.

It takes a very special musician to put their self out there in this way. No stage, no light, no doors between to be separated from those who would pass by. His endurance is impressive, his vision is clear. He just wants to bring rhythm to the people. Good vibrations, dude. Bless you on your journey!

That's the first time in many years that I've seen someone so effortlessly noodle/improv on a drum kit. A truly entertaining solo. The stick tricks were pretty damn impressive. Usually when someone starts with that stuff I kinda roll my eyes cause it invariably is schticky, but my eyes went wide as this guy went cosmic style with it. Truly talented dude!

[roadrocket]

I'm almost 70 YEARS OLD! Never seen anybody this good/GREAT. And I've seen Buddy, Louie, Billy Cobham, etc. This guy is simply the best I've ever seen or heard.😮

[davesmith]

This guy is simply amazing, his solo goes on forever. His style and comfort are amazing.

[bobbyjones]

That was one of the most amazing drum solos I've ever seen and heard. And I'm 56 and have been playing the drums for over 40 years and I know what greatness is!!! You're it!

[j.osborne]

This guys is an absolute beast man. I hope he appreciates his talent and loves and respects himself. The biggest tragedy is when people who are this good dont recognise and value their gift.

[jamesarnold]

Showmanship is a wonderful thing. It always warms my heart to see a drummer knock a crowd of people on their tails with some well placed tricks along with a sense of groove that keeps them from walking GREAT JOB

[tgcarch]

From one drummer to another. I can honestly say you are the most talented percussionist I've ever seen!

[Panda]

Yeah, none of those girls heard any of that brilliant percussion demonstrated.

[jeffdidham]

Unfreakingbelievable. Some people are born to do what they do. He was born to play drums. Incredible techniques, samba, jazz, metal, rock... Blessings to this talented guy 👍

[jockflock]

Have watched many many bands over the decades. I can honestly say this is the best drummer I have ever seen/heard.

[farhanmaqbool]

Whenever I return back to this performance of brilliant player, it just fires up the love for drums all over again. Maybe performances like these are beacons pulling drummers like us back to our instruments with the same passion and love we had many years back.
May God give lot of success and happiness. Ameen

[Xposthmous]

By far, the best drummer I’ve seen on YouTube. Hands down.

[Wibbedibbe]

Holy shit - that's unbelievable! 🤩
The best I've ever seen!
That's not only music, not only drumming - that's music artwork, artistic performance and pure magic!!!
I bow in awe! 🙏

[davidbeauchamp]

It is amazing how much talent that is out there that have not been discovered. What God given talent. Bless you my fellow drummer. Awesome job. 👌

[gabbytangorra]

I'm blown away. Unfortunately most of the comments have nothing to do with his drumming, and unless your a drummer it's hard to have full respect of something like this. He has clearly mastered the art. Can't believe I'm just seeing this now. Wow, thanks for the inspiration!

[TacticalDrummer]

to all those that say they've seen better, well, you haven't! you've seen different, but you have not seen better. I've been playing drums for 30 plus years now, and I can do some of the stuff Dylan does, but he really has his own signature. no one plays like him, no one!!!!
