So good to finally see someone win without an octapad!
Zaki Ali you couldn't use it this year
Zaki Ali the 2010 winner, isaias gil didn't use it too, and if you compare the whole fisrt section of both solos, they're pretty much the same
Jonathan Ziegler well then this year was a good year
Wow!! He is Sooo Good!
Shit the fuck up
No octapad? I'm shocked.
Very pleased but shocked.
NathanDrums Someone told me it wasn't allowed this year.
someBODY once told me the octapad is out
Good, it was overused every year.
NathanDrums it had to be for points. I competed when it was in use and if you didn't touch it, you basically had to be perfect, because you lost a lot of points by not using it. but I am glad they took it out, now it's about drums
whats octopad?
when your ocd kicks in and you gotta loosen your wing nut 1/32 of a turn 3:58
rdavidr Fucking howling man
Yooo what's up Dave
😂😂 That's HILARIOUS! Good one David!
rdavidr yo dude where you there? You da man. Not only do you crack me up but your ideas are stellar. later sk8r
lmfao legit the best comment on this video hahaha
3:58 that touch... Impressive 😍
Obviously a great drummer, very hard to judge these competitions. Some guys who lost in the quarters and semis could easily be in the Finals. Personally I think speed has taken over creativity in these competitions.
So true
johnny ste I concur!
Not always but in this case I would have to agree. I see chops but not really a whole lot more.
Yeah, that super speedy stuff is incredibly technical and impressive if done in the pocket, but Id rather hear a good groove for the most part.
I agree. Been saying this for years. I understand the skill. But give me passion or someone that is deeply in love with the instrument and feels connected. Kinda hippy sounding but you get my meaning.
I've been following him for years and no way I only see this video today. Absolutely amazing and stunning solos! He even wore a Miku shirt to the contest! What an awesome dude!
his performance was way way more put together than the other contestants
No tricks! Pure Drumming skills... Slow Clap!
2:03 when you take a bite out of your hot pocket but its a little too hot
This dude KNEW he was gonna be on RUclips XDXDXD
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great drumming. Very nice stick control, especially in traditional grip. Nice seeing a winner without using the octopad. Also, the syncopation was outstanding.
BenThoseDrums when did he use traditional grip (and you couldn't use the octapad this year)
Jonathan Ziegler He used it towards the beginning! Not for very long though. Oh I had no idea they weren't allowed to use it. That's interesting since it's always been so heavily used.
BenThoseDrums they used it because it was not used they lost a lot of points
BenThoseDrums although he did have all that to be honest he still shouldnt have one anthony burns fred and kwesi did way better and to make it worse they all had one thing creativity and groove mark out of everyone shouldve lost💯💯💯
fatboy_Kevo
My favorite set, that year, was Anthony Burns, with Boswell a close 2nd. That being said, I was only halfway into Pacpaco's set and I could tell why he won. It seemed like Pacpaco demonstrated a mastery of a wider variety of techniques and in a wider variety of time signatures and I think that's why he won. I was happy for Pacpaco, he earned it, imo.
idk how many times i can listen to this guy, but its an unreal amount.
4 YEARS AND STILL LISTENING TO THIS ALL THE TIME!
Awesome video. So glad I get to see his winning performance. Congrats Mark!
This is probably one of the best winner solos I have seen since Juan. I am so glad that the octopad isn't used and that it flows so well. Great choice. Congrats dude! You earned it!
You don't need to be an ass. No I couldn't watch the live stream. So what if two judges didn't like him? I am allowed to have my opinion too. I haven't seen the others that played yet. I'll wait for that.
Andrew Weiner I'm sorry if I came off that way. My phrasing literally made me sound like the trolls I hate so much. But seriously. Anthony and Fred played their hearts out. So did Bell. There were more mistakes in this solo then anyone else's and the actual substance of it simply wasn't as exciting as most of the other contestants.
all good dude. Like I said I can't wait to see those videos
Who was that referring to?
Who knew guava juice was such a good drummer
Lmao
Fise
Dylan
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂☠☠☠☠☠
😂Lmao
Speed, dynamics, power, and modulation - beautifully executed!
This man is the embodiment of courage, love and power!
I love the crowd interaction. Wicked solo
Mark values his faith, family and friends more than his top notch musical talents. That is why he is someone I admire and feel grateful to know.
Absolutely stellar performance! This is what 'feeling the rhythm' is all about right here!
Mark does a great job projecting his passion into his drumming. Outstanding performance. Kudos.
honestly this solo was good! reason he won was because of the energy, he didnt play no slow ass groove it was literally pure energy and drive through the whole solo! dont worry Mark about what other people say! you're a great drummer!
@UCXdTzSxZs6Csv9R5vYZlrrg lol okay 👍 🤣
Great! Much Love, Yamaha Drums
Well deserved!! He was most enjoyable to watch. Congratulations!!
Crushed it!!! Nice work man...a good combo of chops, groove & showmanship.
damn!, i'm very proud to be a filipino drummer,
2:03 priceless 👌👌👌
Michael Alba, Rickson Ruiz, Mark Pacpaco 🇵🇭
i didnt know eric koston played drums
Julius Rogers a very young koston hahaha
Hahahahaha
This comment needs more love!!!
Haha wtf
The Koston skate skate shoes were dope back in the day
Awesomeness!!!! Your very talented and fun to watch!
I love how you can see the passion in his facial expressions!👍
It's about time the winner wasn't someone who just used the sound pad the whole time! This guy killed it, and surprisingly at some similarities the 2011 winner Isaias Gil.
good job Isaias Gill
😂😂
Right !!!! I hate when other drummers do that , no creativity whatsoever
Is exactly the same!!!
Haha right!
Literally the same
Great dynamics and combination of styles. Top drawer
Excellent musical composition and drumming!.
That was a nice groove you did there in the beginning, it's almost like I'd heard it done before a few years ago.
Reminded me of Vini C.
Because it was done he ripped off Isaias hips solo
Lol no one's allowed to play a songo/standard Latin groove?
@brandonwalker9245 lmao imagine thinking there should be millions and millions of grooves because people shouldn't "rip off drummers."
>Everyone complains about using new technologies
>GC takes away said technologies
>Contestants resort to same exact gimicks they used to win 7 years ago
People really are afraid of change. Not trying to hate on Mark btw. He's an amazing drummer for sure. He's just playing the game.
Honestly, I'm so glad to see the judges have FINALLY moved away from picking the same gospel chops since 2012. This kid earned it. Kudos for having different style.
Dylan Dekker gospel chops sound the best in my opinion. So groovy and I’m the pocket, it’s beautiful
Scary wicked playing man. You'll sound like you're from another planet in 3 more years!
I feel like I’m watching Isaias Gill again
Wow! Mark Pacpaco, amazing solo! Congratulations and very well done! Let me know if you're interested in an interview on the "All About The Drums" podcast, we'd love to share your story. All the best!
This is the best drumming performance i've ever seen. Congratulations!!!
Beko09k you must have not seen any other drum performances you non drumming idiot
There is so much he can do with just 1 hand amazing.
his solo sounds EXACTLY like the winner from 2010 Isaias Gill
he copied the entire intro bro
I was thinking the same
The judges sure forgot that Isaias existed, because creativity/originality is something they’re supposed to look for
Nuh
Ryan Cardenas pretty sure the intro was different, he copied about 20% of the solo though
Who else was waiting for him to break a stick just to see how he'd handle it during this smooth performance?
Amazingly good. Love that bass drum
that was really entertaining and gave me chills at a lot of moments
2:47 and on with the hi-hat beats was monumental hah!
2:59 when I don't get bacon with my pancakes
those triplet single stroke rolls man... you're making me feel old. I thought I had learned that in marching band. Phenomenal. Way to go bro.
Awesome! Great clip keep em coming Timmy
dude is a monster on the phrasing.
3:58 when you miss the bell
When the people see that they sound like the Wii Sports people when you bowl the ball backwards XD
so musical, love his dynamics!
this is A great solo, i really like his style of play and his technique is flawless!
2:32 that look when you first hit it raw !!
3:58 that hurt
Great attitude, he is a humble guy. He is out there to have fun and just play.
Just incredible! I know this vid is 4 yrs old, but you are a talent!
>Cap
>Hatsume Miku shirt
>"Woo!"
Oh yeah, it's all coming together
Guys...watch Isaias Gil's solo, and then compare...HE COPIED A WHOLE SECTION! Also watch a couple bootleged contenders (especially Anthony Burns) they blow him out of the water
Jonathan Ziegler if you actually listen the hands might be the same in a way but the footwork is different. Drumming is rudimentary so how can cut copy paste?!?!
Dude, I know. Thats what I thought. He straight copied ISAIAS.!!!!!!!
drumming definitely doesnt have to be rudimentary..there are infinite methods
You guys are salty as F@K!!! Isais has seen his performance and straight said he didn't copy it. Second I don't see any of you competing. Thirdly I don't see you being judges. Lastly stop F'ing hating!!! He won get over it. If you can do better than put up or shut up!!!
Brian Votruba I agree with you on Isais comment but people do not have to be competitors to voice their opinion; you don't have to be a professional grade musician to critique someone.
Amazing! THIS GUY IS SUPER TALENTED
Nice work, that kit sound amazing
Why does this sound soooo familiar? Like previous winners from the past
Isaias Gil
Is almost the same as Isaias Gil
He played like Isaias Gil, and has the same beat at the intro.
That intro was great the first time Isias Gill played it on his guitar center drum off championship win a few years ago.
Crazy skills working those drum till the end!!!
this solo is almost exactly like the one from the 2010 winner, isaias gil
3:24 by far the most anime moment in drumming history
haha
Well done Mark, you totally EARNED your WIN ! ! !
Creativity AND speed, it’s all there.👍🏾
Well his warmup is done where's the winning entry?
Well that was the coolest drum solo I've ever seen
One of the best winners of this competition in a long time
i wont make give my opinion until i see the other finalists, i dont really know if i like this guys style so much.. very talented, just not my taste.
Joshua Pogue I watched bootlegs of the others and they blow him out of the water and rewatch Isais Gill's solo. Mark copied an entire section.
they recycle licks every year. people are still copying things jerome flood did umpteen years ago. by now it's forgivable.
yeah, i had a feeling others would agree. I mean they judge on 5 categories and its better to get a 6 on each category than a 10 on some and a 3 on others, but this just didnt seem original.
kodiak wild a whole section tho? He must have had to sat down and learned it as opposed to using an idea from it (but I get what ur saying)
Fred Boswell's solo was downright magic
I didn't know GUAVA JUICE play drums?
Migz Gealogo lol 😂
and they both have a filipino blood
This is exactly what I was thinking the whole time
This, is what a champion drummer sounds like
Great job.... and no fancy gadgets. Awesome!
So glad the octapad is gone
0:58
you hear a girl say "yeah he's hot" 😂
Damn, what a pair of ears you have there.
I feel like audience reaction gave this guy the win more than anything else
Es un experto manejando los cambios de intensidad. Muy completo y creativo.
I have seen all the other contestants and this guy deserve the first place. All profesional drummers would agree only ameatur shred drummers who only cares about chops doesnt understand
id say you are one of them drummers that cant shred so you use that same old story of ohhh but im more expresive and shit but in reality you just havent put the work in
A bit trebly for my taste but undoubtedly he's very talented
the bass drum needed some treble, or a trigger, or a pad or something.
i love that sound he makes with his mouth when he's about to change a beat
That was so much musically beautiful
His offbeats are remarkable.
I'm definitely not denying that he's good, but I'm not that impressed. Guitar Center has had better winners in the past years
Honestly how can you dislike this?
Soooooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥! Spectacular drummer and overall a great guy! Gooooo Mark! 🥳🥳🥳
Guava Juice’s Bro
Robbie Grier really? I did not know. Is it marlin?
Holy crap its guava juice!!!😃
Lol
WHOA!! This guy is awesome!
You deserve it!!! Congrats man.
Isaias gil plagio....
Fred Boswell Jr or Anthony Burns should have won. I was here live and witnessed this event. Marc was great but he copied a previous winners solo. Definitely wasnt original. The real winner is unfortunately not in this clip...Still this guy is good but he shouldnt have won
Joe on Drums Im sure after stealing a previous winners solo lol Says alot about you and what you know
Joe on Drums You are a clown smh
carsondrum All were good but I'm telling you i know some stuff...they wanted Mark to win. Guitar Center get 40% off the top. Anthony or Fred should have gotten it
carsondrum I just subscribed to you
Austin White Yeah he did!!!!
pLAY THE CROWD! way to go! Awesome.
Damn, this guy/performance gave me goosebumps!!! 🤘😈🤘
PSA: People are allowed to voice their critique/praise without having the ability to do better.
'0mFg u can't drum bett3r so u don't no what you're talking about' is such a shite counter-argument.
No know
You dont need to be a musician to judge some music, everyone has their own taste
I preferred Anthony Burns and Fred Boswell Jr's performances. This guy blatantly copied a section from Isaias Gil's solo. It's not even subtle either.
This guy has awesome mechanics. Almost no arm movement, its all in the wrist action and the fingers. Fucking mind blowing young drummer. BRAVO!
congratulations mark! great drumming. bonus points for that sick vocaloid shirt!
