I would agree - even the past champions at some point had some expressiveness, but yet can't find anything other than dynamic or complete sound change (rim, shell, etc.) in terms of his musicianship.

They wear them when not in full uniform to get used to wearing them in full uniform; they cover the ends of the sleeves, so that the sticks don't get caught in the cuffs while they're playing. It's not really necessary until you get to this level of drumming. And it looks cool.

I hate commenting in response to other peoples comments and I dont know that much about sound of snare drums but anyone that thinks the snare sounds bad cant base the judgement off this video, the sound on it doesnt seem to be from a snare mic but from the camera mic which is distorted by loud sounds.

This was the last snare solo at I&E that was musical and had entertainment value... Usually the theme in these things are pretty weak, while it just becomes musical masturbation, but this solo was genuinely musical.

@pidog1 seriously? in my opinion, DCI is a professional activity that only the best and most ambitious musicians/athletes compete in on an international scale. these are some of the most talented drummers in the world, and DCI makes them strive for more. so dont say "if they make it in the music world" because i have more respect for this organization than any label or orchestra/band, regardless of how much they get paid (or have to pay in DCI's case). if you dont like it, then dont comment.

Mike here, or almost any DCI snare or multi champ would own most, and show up many of todays kit drummers on a hand vs hand basis. Granted a lot of kit drummers may have more/better 4 way control, when it comes down to hands only, the majority of these DCI titleists can't be beaten. Their precision, control, and execution are unparalleled.

It's sad how true that is. But the good part of that (for me at least) is that most people listen to these mainstream bands with very average drummers, and think they are great. So when they see me play, they think I'm really amazing. When in reality(compared to those you listed)I'm not very good at all

As incredible as guys like Casey and Pacheco are, I think you all DCI enthusiasts should direct yourselves to one drum set player and study his ideas and technique: Buddy Rich. Look for "buddy rich 1970", "buddy rich stick trick solo", "buddy rich boston pops" "buddy rich vs ed shaughnessy" "buddy rich solo de bateria" "buddy rich at the hague" "buddy rich on why he doesn't use match grip", "buddy rich two o' clock" and SO ON then shake your heads in disbelief. There will never be another him.
