Taylor Ford go watch the SCV drumline 😂 jk I'm with you

i think the best part of this arrangement is how well it leans into what i call the "industrial terror" of Shostakovich's music. the snare makes it sound even more like a grinding, unstoppable machine, especially in sections like 1:27 where it sounds like an engine starting up. terrifyingly good

So true! Industrial terror is such a great description of that. Just came back after a few years and thought this was great.

I don’t think there will ever be a snare solo with a backing track as good as this one, five years and still the best of its kind, absolutely fantastic.

Absolutely legendary. One of my favorite drumming videos ever... I watch a lot of drumming videos.

This is phenomenal. The ability to play cleanly and appropriately with the orchestra is stunning!

A ‘masterpiece’ of a performance.

Hours and Hours of hard work and dedication went into your drumming. When I watch this video of you playing and hear what is going on only one things comes to my mind????? Perfection. God Given talent and respect for any one who realizes what an instrument can sound like when you have a master musician playing behind that instrument. I salute you sir for your Precise Pristine playing of a snare drum. most of all I can see a bright over whelming career for you. thank you for showing us this wonderful playing., much appreciation

Just got the sheet in the mail. Im hoping to play it for Solo And Ensemble at my highschool this year. This piece inspired me to pick up marching snare drum and i have much respect for you Jesse Sieff

Thank you for posting this is extremely focused, precise and original. I look forward to more in the future.

This work of art is inspiring. Thank you for your contribution to music.

Learning it right now and it is extremely challenging, but I love it! Thank you so much for writing this fun piece of music!

I couldn't help but think about Cavaliers 2014 show while watching this, and I must say a lot of the licks in this video are phenomenal. You certainly know your way about the instrument, and you're so relaxed as well. Personally, I wish you had helped written the book for Cavs 2014 because it adds a lot more to the song the way you approached it. Great job sir!

Also, upon watching the video again, I must commend you on your control of the rudiments, phenomenal.

i don't normally comment but you killed it. Your orchestration and everything to that piece was stella. i know its been 4 years but great job

The level of musicality, expression of dynamics, style and finesse was absolutely stunning. This is true talent and understanding of time and note placement. It's so hard to make music from orchestra translate well with a marching snare. But this guy aced it. I respect this. And I have to mention how much I love this snare. Dynasty has apparently come a LONG way from the garbage snares they made 20-30 years ago.

Absolutely amazing

This reenkindled my passion for the instrument that has been sleeping for so long. Great musicality and technique. Visuals are amazing too. I’m actually practicing it now. It’s so damn hard! I finished the first half in a slow tempo. Thank you very much for the inspiration.

Fave part is from 02:37. Going from double stroke rolls and then doing those spaced accents like a horse jumping over a fence.
