In my opinion one of the best GCDO solo's. It has everything you could want to hear in a solo; variety of styles, dynamics, interesting phrasing, ability to play matched and traditional, quirkiness, storytelling, building upon an idea, chops, pocket, stick tricks (even if they are a bit cheap), melodic, easy to follow even for non-drummers, technical ability and mastery of pretty much everything he played.

I hate people bashing on this ... Drummers are so arrogant.... What he played was very much so technically impressive, he was doing more than just a modified rock beat with fast fills in it that seem to be what modern drumming is rooted in. He was playing Latin beats and infusing them with traditional faster rock based fills... As well as playing traditional (grip style on the stick and flipping his technique back to match grip or german grip) and infusing elements of marching snare rhythms and tricks. So, not only was he technically impressive he added a visual element to it to. Performance is just as much visual as it is technical. So, saying this was boring or not interesting, then you clearly aren't appreciative or as informed of a drummer, because you're not picking up the nuances he added in there that make this impressive.

Benny Greb talks about much like Gavin Harrison that the matter of What you say is all about contrast. Of course the kid has chops. no one gets to the finals without having chops, however conversely he has no contrast. That is the turn off for me. he provides such small amounts of context before showing off the same double kick fill another time. its just not that interesting to me. All flash and such lack of substance

Roy Cisneros Yeah I play drums ... I went college as a music education major with my main instrument being percussion. Anyhow, of course he can play drums. Clearly it wasn't your cup of tea, but that's absurd to say he can't play drums. His rolls sound just fine and totally don't look or sound forced at all, I have literally zero idea of what you are talking about. No of course it isn't perfect and I think he was clearly making it up as he went along, as most of the people there did I assume so it's not going to be perfect nor do I think a perfect drummer exist. But, he won for a reason so to say he can't play is invariably a stupid comment. That's fine that you don't like it, everyone has there own taste, but to say he can't play is based on nothing completely.

Just saying, the octapad does not add to a solo, nor does is detriment a solo. The fact is that it adds another layer to be thought out, and to incorporate it makes drummers really have to think, and adds a whole other lever of musicality to the ordeal. This was a good solo, but not due to the absence of an octapad.

to me it seems the octapad provides a registration to sustaining the or a rhythm or rhythmic structure of the song & or particular phrase within the song. sort of a bearing so as not to loose track or reiterate with the rhythm. what's cool is if you have noticed it only takes a few notes to remind listeners of the rhythm...ats some cool shit man.. dont ya think

But I didn't know that drummers had such a jealous hate fest for other more talented drummers. It's okay to be jealous because it should push and inspire you to be better, but bashing one another isn't the answer. I actually came across a page that said Mike Portnoy was a okay drummer from one of these events and they weren't impressed at all. REALLY??? Not impressed???
