I met Scott last night at the DCI Allentown show. what a class act! he took time out of his busy schedule to sign a pair of scojos for me and take pics with me and my friend
I don't think this was sped up. Check out Scott Johnson at PASIC 2008. He was playing this the same speed to me. Besides that I hope I can play that fast when I'm his age.
speechless. now why cant his drum section well other than ralph nader cant p[lay like that? scott johnson is probably the only person in DCI who actully shows feelings aggression and emotion when he plays. i would like to see him march with a HBCU drumline
@ctdjazz I believe that the tuning in this video sounds much wetter than what we as listeners are used to hearing in the modern corps. style drumline. I don't however agree that this sounds anymore like a snare than a drum that's tuned with a dryer, more articulate sound in mind. I'm very curious as to how you came up with what a marching snare drum is "supposed to" sound like, as if any one tuning is correct or incorrect. How am I the one being ridiculous when your opinion is clearly biased...
Man that drum sounds great. I wish they had ever tuned BD's snareline like that, sounds a lot like what Rennick does at Phantom. It's nice when a snare drum sounds like a snare drum.

@HyphyPercussion try this: 2000 Cavies 2001 Cadets 2002 Cadets 2003 Cadets 2004 SCV 2005 Cadets 2006 Phantom 2007 BD 2008 Phantom 2009 BD 2010 Phantom if you actually look at the scores they're really inconsistent..dont get me wrong, theyre good players, theyre just over hyped
@Tenorsarefun You're going to listen to that drum, then one tuned more like what's common, and tell me this doesn't sound more snare-y than anything else? That's a little ridiculous. I'm not saying this is inherently better than any other tuning style, Phantom's snares just happen to sound amazing. And YES, good sir. Tenors ARE fun.
@Tenorsarefun I'd appreciate it if you'd stop putting words in my mouth. I never said a drum was "supposed to" sound like anything. It's NICE to hear a drum tuned like this. Nowhere in there did I say that it is not nice to hear drums tuned in different ways. Do we really live in a world where you can't compliment something without someone jumping on you reminding you that it's just your opinion? I can't believe I'm having to defend myself for enjoying the way a drum sounds. I'm finished.
@drumperson42 You're right. This is a fake. No way could he play the same exact solo the he played for I&E in 1982. Surely camera tricks are needed. Quit smoking bath salts.
That snare sounds amazing
Scott Johnson for President 2012!!!! And 2016!!!! and 2020! and 2024! and 2028! and 2032!!!
WOOOO!!!
Damn, I wish Dynasty drums sounded that good in real life.
They do if you tune them right
theres nothing more orgasmic then watching S.J play a snare solo. nothing comes close to a dynasty in pure sound.
Woot! Go Mr. Johnson! 💙🥁🎶👍
I met Scott last night at the DCI Allentown show. what a class act! he took time out of his busy schedule to sign a pair of scojos for me and take pics with me and my friend
Sounds like a tribute to his 1977 solo for i&e "revenge". Look it up on his page.
Dude this guy is such a beast in the drum world
I just noticed something, this is the same solo ScoJo played in 1982!!! It sounds wayy better on a kevlar headed drum.
old school!!!
It is the same solo from 82'..its called Ultimation.
All you guys need to shut your faces! That's Scott Johnson!
Debate: Dynasty snares or Pearl snares?
i can haz sheet music?
With a sound like this, why did they even go to pearl!???
I hang out with Scott every summer. He's even better in person!
imagine trying to transcribe the first 30 secs!
ScoJo is a legend...believe what you want, but its a fact.
amf i like that snare sounds goooooooooooooood....hoping my snare sounds like that ^_^.....
The rims are chromed but the lug casings are painted?
@shwn91 yea thats what i was thinking but i was just trying to make sure ha thanks
@ajcf1995 He did... like twenty five years ago.
I hope I have hands like that when I get his age. Amazing
I don't think this was sped up. Check out Scott Johnson at PASIC 2008. He was playing this the same speed to me. Besides that I hope I can play that fast when I'm his age.
He came and teched our winter percussion for a day cuz our band teacher marched with him in '76
speechless. now why cant his drum section well other than ralph nader cant p[lay like that? scott johnson is probably the only person in DCI who actully shows feelings aggression and emotion when he plays. i would like to see him march with a HBCU drumline

Sounds pretty good to me
@ctdjazz false. Just because a drum is tuned up to where YOU don't like it personally doesn't mean it no longer sounds like a snare drum.
Is that... Is that ScoJo with an... an OPENED FULCRUM???
DIRT!!! JK great job Scott. You were one of my first inspirations to learn snare and play in indoor drumline. Thanks for being so cool!
@PhantomDrums917 vic firth ssj corpsmasters, his signature sticks
Anyone know what brand and size stick he's using?
Love the snare sound!
Wow! My arms would be completely dead if I kept playing all those continuous rolls..
@garybd2 for real. anyone who doesnt think scott johnson can play this is obviously not a percussionist.
HOw do you do that thing at 1:48?
I would say this is sped up film if I didn't know Scojo is secretly a robot. Yeah, thats right Mr. Johnson I know your secret ;)
it looks like they speeded up the video
HOLY SHIT!!!!! Nice lol.
@sanantonioskates If i had to guess.. I would say Remo Kevlar but that is just a guess.. Don't hold me to it..
0:05 - 0:12
no change in pitch...thats control right there...
holy fuck
This guy's coming to our high school February 3rd. Our instructor is best friends with him :)
@qgoode1013 its called the wind?
The "buzz" roll at 0:51? Yeah, those are singles. Fast eh?
Wow he makes Dynasty sound good haha.
Yeah... i hear the malF's at 0:55 ...
i wish i could play traditional now:(
Man that drum sounds great. I wish they had ever tuned BD's snareline like that, sounds a lot like what Rennick does at Phantom. It's nice when a snare drum sounds like a snare drum.
To bad it's not in HD.
snare sounds beautiful
you can tell it was sped up at 0:30 because the trees sway slow then speed up when his hands do. but he's still a beast. uploaders fault
@drummaboi1423 me too!!!
THAT SNARE SOUNDS AMAZING
07 snare

Yeah. I can actually HEAR the snare guts.
Scott Johnson is a maniac !!!!!
got 3in taps? or maybe some left wrist rotation? he's a very skilled man though...
Awesome Scott !!! Met you up in the Bay Area and you turned me on to Ron Ziebart !
I love the clicks at 1:47
the drum looks badass but the rim seems real high, but FUCK IT
Why is he god in the form of a drummer?
Cut 😉 better than most 20 ones. Totally killed it!!!!
@HyphyPercussion try this:
2000 Cavies

@PhantomDrums917 most likely promark system blues, hes sponsored by them

And YES, good sir. Tenors ARE fun.
any1 what head is on that drum??
Black max top remo snare side ambassador theres a possibility
Which happens to be un-true, if you have a good head on it with a good tuning.
there is nothing close to :51 that even sounds like a buzz roll
i heard he won I&E his Final year in Corps just for showing up
he's the best
Does anyone know if sheet music to this exists?
I'm looking too.. Any luck?
he using his sticks
haha yes! Hes still got it!
i closed my eyes and imagined a sprinkler

I'm finished.
Except for Gary of course.
@drumperson42
well, clearly you're a troll. and that is not fake.
fucking legendary
this is insane. 1:47 to 1:51 is epic. if you dont speak stick, the sticks were saying 'suck it, this is beast.'
old school technique!!!!!!!!!!!the best!!!!!!!
CHRIST!
Hey that's at mars!!
we got old Scott...
God, what the fuck. He shouldn't be able to do that anymore....
@TheMer94 yeah, when he plays the sticks by themselves it's pretty BA
@drumperson42 You're right. This is a fake. No way could he play the same exact solo the he played for I&E in 1982. Surely camera tricks are needed.
Quit smoking bath salts.
@omnirev Thanks!!
scojo for president of the united states of america
He is up there with ralph in the legend status
CHOPS!!!
@renkupmiba Travis Barker fans
exelent
Even if Scott wasn't affiliated with a Corps, he's a god on a snare..
@iSecksYou its a solo dude haha
sounds like he jizzed at the end
@unliborator Then learn. Duh.
@pr192001
Psssshhhhh!!!! Scott Johnson CREATED the legend status!!!!! :)
I just creamed my pants.
it just kinda seems to me like he's really reachin for some of those notes, i guess he's just got teacher chops
