@marcthecoolman I'm good friends with him. He told me when he was practicing for this competition, he would play this solo 10 times a day as his training.
Great chops. Well written solo with no stupid flashy crap. Just solid rudimental drumming. Also, he looks like a very humble guy. Only one complaint. The drum sounds like crap. The tuning is horrible.
lol! Kobe Bryant can drum? lol this guys such a monster. I heard that Phantom scouted him in 06 as well as the Freelancers wgi line in 08, but he turned down the freelancers. I wish I could say I marched Boston, Phantom, BD, and turned down the Freelancers! lucky ass! :-)
I think he's the best I've ever seen. Perfect control.
Wow, Noel Alvarez is the real deal. Outstanding. It looks like he barely broke a sweat - what chops!
he has the some of the most fucking amazing control i've seen ever in dci, or even drumming period.....
Wow, when he did the backsticking starting at 1:40 his sound quality did not change at all! Very impressive!
Exactly!
i think its crazy how the snare drum champion from I&E is usually a blue devil. good techs out there.
He might be my snare tech this year!!!
Yup! in 04. and he used a couple of the same licks from that I&E
Sick! I'm really impressed
Saw 'im at SeaWorld yesterday. =]
Excellent.
He has a cool claw technique.

wow

that shit is sooo sick!!!
little tribute to pat fitzgibbon
He has the chops of like 6 men.
@Palavalve haha, i was on bass drum standing next to him at sea world.
he didnt drop this time :P
awesome noel...now if you can just get that 'shave and a hair cut' stick toss down in our stilt show at sea world, you'll be better than perfect, lol.
actually its just 3 way back sticking thrown into a roll
hey noel....."50 bucks!!!"
His snare drum sounds a lot gentler than the other guys. Maybe he loosened the snares a little or maybe he is just a great player or probably both.
Right both
What the hell? He won?
He didnt even break the head!!
XDD
2:58 - 3:05 hehe, someone's been influenced by scott johnson :)
Be well

You play for atleast ten hours everyday. 5 minutes becomes nothing lol.
he's weird, he has no expressions like other soloists.
boring compared to the 1990 champ :\
