  • Опубликовано: 8 дек 2013
  • In October 2013 we were incredibly privileged to host to one and only Scojo at the Drumline Association of Australia's National Drumline Camp in Melbourne, Australia. This is a short clip from his clinic presentation as part of this 3 day event.
    Special thanks to all our Sponsors: Evans, Promark, Optimum Percussion as well as Yamaha and Prologix.
    Special thanks also to all the volunteers involved with this amazing event. It would not be possible without these generous people giving up their time.

    Scott Johnson is a truly dedicated corps player and teacher. No wonder the Blue Devils drum line is top of the heap year after year with a guy like him heading up the organization! The chops, stick work and playing zone are off the charts impressive! He makes it look easy but those of us who know, what he's doing in this video takes countless hours and years of hard work to accomplish. Words don't exist to express the praise he deserves.
