1997 DCI Snare Individuals
Most performers had grace notes rising at 1;30 to 2;00 minute mark as they got tired and popped flams. Few of the individuals have endurance training to adjust to the parts because they all bounce so much without finger support Everything is so loose , there is no way to think through the style. Right elbows all high and left low with playing arcs that were never symmetrical. Most 32nd rolls heavy handed and condensed without a full quality of sound at medium speeds.Kevlar heads are a big problem.
99.7 1 Jason Parker Cavies : Good first 1;30 in originality w/ scottish buzzes and timing. Got tired and made mistakes at 1:40 as grace notes came up. All multiple bounce off pdd/p/dp and bounce roll-flam combos. Strong accents but control of interiors varied. 28 execution errors.
99.5 2 Naoki Ishakowa BD : Cleaner than Parker and faster too but played the same bounce rudiments over and over.Uneven 32nd rolls.Got tired at 2;00 minute mark as gc notes came up but finished stronger.
