Keelan has one pair of quick hands.... WOW. A COMMAND PERFORMANCE KEELAN! Even the backsticking and other movements you used in your routines were very well executed and well played. Really enjoyed watching you play! AMAZING! I can't imagine him and Brandon Olander in the same drumline!
This young man is extremely talented on drums. To all you haters for all your negative comments, you all are just jealous of his talents. He has a God given talent that's undeniable. Jealousy gets you no where in life!!! To this young man, keep up the great work and keep playing hard.
Great! Not only a technical acrobatic show. That boy is also a musician...! In this way is that one if the best drumming performence I saw until now. Thanks for the video!
At 3:17 he is doing something old school. Jeff Prosperie would do this in his warm ups and solos. I believe it is a singled handed five. Keelan has incredible sound quality on this, most of the time you can make it out. not to mention the speed is impressive. Learning this is a matter of being relaxed and just pushing the notes out.
Sadly, in 2022, the 50th Anniversary of DCI, the braintrust behind the organization decided to quietly eliminate the I&E completion altogether. Thanks to Keelan and so many other Blue Devil drummers who kept the tradition alive for as long as they could. If not for Scott Johnson, the Individual compeition would've likely died long ago.
When you think you've seen them all there's always one that comes right behind one another which is the better then the rest for what I seen this is the main reason schools need the Performing Arts great job kid you going places👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍🎶🎵

delterbluesman Not sure I get your comment, but this kid is amazing!! Yes, we all should be fighting for “The Arts” in all aspects of schools and sharing these talents with the world! Thx.
Today is I and E 2015... One can only hope that someone (Brandon Olander) can pull off a solo as sick as this. But a Blue Devil has won every snare I and e since like the beginning of time (don't look that up that fact predates technology) so that should continue
It's known to manifest a high pitched, high tensioned sound, along with manifesting a brief buzz sound, ideal for marching activities, known for its loud, powerful, and piercing sound.
WTF1!!! Wow ...listen young Black Man you are awesome and I have dreamed my whole life of playing that good. yes your rolls off the rim were a little rusty but you are the CHAMP and everybody can see your greatness, PLEASE give a old man some pointers! Love you and I am very proud of you representing.

One snare: one supernatural performance. Some pros hide behind a massive kit, lights, effects, and gimmicks. In this "simple" set up lies a highly intricate solo with pulses, rhythms, syncopation, timing, and measures, measured to the infinite. Sensationally surreal.
This video is 10 years old and it looks like it was filmed today. Wow!
Here's to the next 10 years!
I remember this was one of the first high quality stuff I ever saw on youtube
Beginning: trying to start a lawn mower lol, this is great work though
Especially on times 2 speed
Anyone else think the finish of their drums that year are absolutely gorgeous?
Lmao. This caught me off guard, but damn what a great comment

Love this guy. This isn't even the best I've seen of him; he deserves his spot.
He handled that mistake so well. This dude's got some serious reflexes.
For real!
i swear yeen aint lyin! only by visual can u tell, by audio its flawless
Almighty Riley no, it’s a little off time when he comes back in
@@russ6541 Just a jazzy off beat (?)
Unbelievable reflexes 💪🏾.. maybe the crowd got to him when they were real loud for a few seconds.
I met him at the System Blue camp in 2018. He was an instructor there, and he was really cool.
This young man is extremely talented on drums. To all you haters for all your negative comments, you all are just jealous of his talents. He has a God given talent that's undeniable. Jealousy gets you no where in life!!! To this young man, keep up the great work and keep playing hard.
Love his ability to groove and really perform the heck out of the solo. He conversed with audience's cheers brilliantly

STAN LEE: all right lets see: he's fast, he can roast the shit out of other snare drummers, and he's black....PERFECT!
This is sick! Props to to the kid who played it.
+Blue Dogeh do you play?

The hype...that’s what makes I&E a great event! For players who are killing it, the hype adds energy!
That snare sounds badass!!!!! And Keelan playing it makes it sound a million times better!!!!!!!!!!!🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
I wish RUclips still had star rating system cuz he would have got a strayed 5
them drumsticks are going so fast we need to upgrade from 60FPS to 120FPS
phinex 009 ours eyes can't detect it either lol.... our brain doesn't have the fps to watch
gray rey dood he was just talking about the fact that the sticks are going too fast to see even in 60fps
Hands down one of the best solos
Mans has some amazing wrist control
smooth af..one of the best I've seen in 28 yrs fr💨
Ahhh, the good ole 10 second lick @3:03. Legendary. I remember being in high school trying to learn that 😂😂😂never could I ever play it like him.
I swear this mans recovery is 🔥, and in the beginning of the solo he really shows he has FULL CONTROL WITH THOSE HIGH RIGHT STROKES AAAA!
1:26 is amazing
RIP headphone users whenever the crowd screams x.x
1:26 the pimp slap
Stan Lee in the back observing Keelan's powers. He about to turn him into a Marvel superhero with them hands lmfao
Cornelius Seremptus Well, at least you tried

Neat
It's like a ZRRRRT. I love doing that on my marching snare

Listen.. for this type of talent you need a bucket for you're audience you need to pay for this performance!!!!!!!
ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!! This kid is PHENOMENAL!! 🥁🥇🏅🏆

Eres increíble saludos desde Panamá city
Dang!!! Well done young master. Whew!! What’s this lad doing now? I’m a huge fan indeed. Thx for video
The performance was so incredibly Wonderful!!!!!😄😄😄
C'est du bon bon ça. Wow. Congratulations
@2:57 he even copied the sound of my dirtbike. Kudos.
holy shit this video is the best resolution ive seen and i still havent pushed the HD button!!
Wow great solo! 1:26 is crazy!
I love the old school way you hold your left drum stick. I am a woman who played in school in the 1960s. Not very well though.
Today is I and E 2015... One can only hope that someone (Brandon Olander) can pull off a solo as sick as this. But a Blue Devil has won every snare I and e since like the beginning of time (don't look that up that fact predates technology) so that should continue
Wasn't this the highest scoring solo yet?
+Michelle Williams his 2012 one is.
uhh jeff queen won i&e back in 1994
The reason why because a lot of Blue Devil's win I&E's is because I&E is ran by the Blue Devils soooo..
Emmanuel DeLeon from SCV won in 08
That drum is beautiful
unbelievably clean!
*John Mapes writing Pulse '20 and seeing* 2:50
Write that down, write that down!
Keelan Tobia doesn't just have chops...he has a gift.
my snare tech in high school said that this was the only solo he enjoyed. i couldn't agree more with him. :P
I'm only a guard guy but this guy ROCKS! Bravo!
Nice recovery on the near miss stick flip.Darn good.
I uh, I'ma go cry now. Haven't seen someone so amazing with traditional grip. My God. We have a new Buddy Rich on the marching snare.
this guy is awesome
THAT'S ONE HOT SET OF DRUM STICKS DOING SOME SERIOUS TALKING
He plays with a lot of feel and grace
The video quality is amazing!!
0:48 to 1:33 might be the most musical segment of a snare solo I've ever seen
don't believe I've seen quality like this since the '90s o_o
This is the best kid drummer i ever saw
the guy sitting down watching intensely is like "in my day it was all about who could play the best 5 stroke roll"
😳 Woah. Consider me blown away!
Excellent job sir!!!
Amazing. little brother got some serious chops.
Thanks, kid. That was great.
Finally, a musical snare solo and not just technical chops
Those singles were unreal...
I am humbled by this video...
awesome drumming. awesome solo.
One good thing about being a percussionist is that when you're nervous your wrists get faster lol

If you play this is 2x speed it’s even more impressive!
Fantastico, è proprio numero uno quel ragazzino 👍👍💪💪💪👏👏👏👏👏👏

RESPEKT!
MikeCraft that recovery was insane tho

MY SPEAKERS ARE BLOWN BECAUSE THIS SOLO IS TOO AWESOME FOR THEM TO HANDLE!
Definitely a totally blessed guy.. 👍
his solo insipired me to get third in the talent show at my school

No disrespect to Keelan, but I still to this day think Jonathan Leal deserved this title
Bro holy crap, I came here to say this exact thing
how is this 9 yrs but the camera still better than my eye vision 🧍🏿
youre a G when you get a standing ovation from people on the ground.
Holy shit. That is actually otherworldly.
His skills are so good it makes me nauseous
This kid has some freakin chops! Holy crap!
@silfner1 the term "chops" applies to anyone who plays an instrument. Having the endurance to play well for long periods of time is considered chops.
Those diddles to flams were pretty legit!!!
You know you're good when the centre snare stands up and claps for you
