As a former drummer myself, I can safely say that this is the best snare drum solo I have ever seen. This puts even the best drummers from college marching bands to shame.

Ivan Pacheco here used to be a member of the world-class Blue Devils drum corps, and for a good reason.

Like every good performer, Ivan starts off with some of his “simple” drum chops. Though, compared to most drummers, his warm-up is better than most solos in competitive drumming competitions.

At one point he even drums with his elbows (just in case you aren’t amazed by his hand-drumming), then dramatically throws down his sticks. Rock on!

Just to clarify, Ivan took first place in these DCI finals.
