Man, around 4:20 I thought: These double bass is starting to get a little too enthusiastic timing wise, but in the next rounds he's a machine again. He's too good

[@palainanoctem3776]

This gives me flashbacks to every band I've been in. At some point I'm slumped over drunk drooling on myself and the band asks are you done? Are you too drunk? And i crawl onto my throne and play until everyone gives in.

[@white.river.restoration]

I'm a firm believer that alcohol doesn't affect muscle memory.

[@philatkinson3955]

He is better than most of us sober, he is hilarious! I just hope he doesn't get sick and hurt too badly. Dude you are an amazing drummer and perfecter of the craft. Please be careful, we don't want to you to poisoning. 😎🥁♥️🙏🎶🎉🎉🤯

[@anthonybrunetti4551]

he is drunk at 5 shots. He clearly doesnt have a problem.

[@neurocosm]

I don't catch a lot of your videos in the feed anymore, but I am glad I saw this oldie, but goodie. I am happy to see your wife involved, supporting you and encouraging you in your craft. There is nothing like love (but drums better!)

[@alexlebon6456]

This just reminds me of Children Of Bodom's Jaska...Even though they drink all day he they were able to play at a pretty exceptional level...(Even when Alexi messed up the solos sometimes.)They have to be one of the hardest party bands of the modern era.

[@PleaseForgiveYourself]

Yeah and it killed Alexi... alcoholism is an asshole.

[@andriealinsangao613]

Holy shit, now THAT'S rock and roll.... And badass!

@@andriealinsangao613 😂 Sure is.

[@user-kd2tw6oo7d]

It sounds like Judas Priest - Painkiller, yet with different guitar at the end of the section (like drop-C transcribed, only difference is strumming and outro). Also, I think he's faking it a little bit (too sober imho:)) Much love!

[@jjdekay6969]

Wonderfully documented journey into what us old timer drummers refer to as the "Bonham effect"

[@tomg2217]

My man is WASTED by the end, and still kills it. Much respect!

[@punctuationpatrolman1615]

100th like! ;)

[@Filip_K_Shapethesound]

I'm not a drummer, yet I really enjoy all of your videos. Your playing and drum mix is a pure pleasure to listen to. I've known a band, where vocalist was so drunk, that during the concert break (they were playing all evening), he almost fell of the stairs, yet he sang perfectly. I guess this is the reason why we have to practice so much... :D

[@spongeb27]

You have an absolute abundance of charisma and boyish charm, you remind me a lot of one of my mates and you regularly crack me up. Feel like i could easily head to the pub for a drink with you and it wouldnt be awkward hahah keep it up mate! ❤

[@ChrisRennie1999]

A new challenger approaches: Samus books a gig with his band and we all proceed to get him as drunk as possible before he goes on. He then goes on and kills it

[@chrismiller2517]

I love the uncontrollable laughing between shots and takes

[@xanderdavis5186]

i like how his drunk playing is still better than my sober playing

[@Rathead4499]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@Skunkanoid]

i think this really shows the power of muscle memory, sound like he has to be unconscious for it to start sounding sloppy to be honest

[@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69]

Well when you're distracted by your phone. Yeah. Takes work to get there but less work to progress once you break that learning curve.

[@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69]

@@Skunkanoid man I don't know what you're talking about I noticed a difference after the 8th shot.

[@Realityhurtsdoesntit]

The gradual slowing of the song was the most beautiful part. To watch how alcohol affects your skills is honestly a good focal point. Thanks for making such a great video.

[@charlzthedrummer]

I know you seemed to have it under control, but please don’t hurt yourself doing challenges. We need you, man

[@eduardoandres5989]

yeah, this was fun and all........proved a point, that.....eeeeeeeer..........drummers are coller and better like all the myths say.......but yeah........dont hurt yourself anymore bud! love and saluud° from an ex.-drummer in souyth america! cheers fun vdeo tho.....im a drunkard too, llol

[@SirChubblesSteen]

Dude you’re amazing! You killed it on the drums after all those shots. You went full auto pilot, no matter the alcohol you’re just a great drummer

[@johanmisumi7209]

I literally battled to keep from grinning the entire friggin vid, but the laughing fit at 9:44 just broke me🤣🤣🤣🤣 Also, after maybe 7-8 shots, the timing got a bit inconsistent, but you still play great even you're hammered. I respect that! 🤘!!!ohhh yurrrr!!!🤘

[@DrZalian]

LOVE the big chorus! So very impressed!

[@ryand.7650]

This video is like a metaphor for addiction, rhythmically doing something over and over again even though you know you shouldn't lol

[@ToastyYokai]

Its true.....he's addicted to drumming and wont stop no matter what

[@somaticspirituality]

🎵step into the shadows we can talk addiction/when it's harmful where you going and part of you that know it don't give a fuck

[@dremora212]

not addicted to alc I hope cuz no he’s not💀😂

[@allanmalloy8266]

I'm shocked at how well you kept it going, your timing and spacing got loose - but still coherent.

[@caesersalad285]

[@danomnihility2453]

Vinnie and Dimebag did what they did that badass and drinking from waking to passing out. Definitely a rare feat of human endurance!

[@frmadeira]

And Vinnie died at 54 from heart disease, everything comes at a cost

[@Skitzojellybean]

The fact he kept saying sex randomly 💀😭

[@Full-master]

Also he said something about floppy. I can't understand that 😮

[@JasonSayersDrums]

Super video bro! Even after shot 20 you still had great footwork and hand technique. Literally one of my fav KZbin drummers

[@yo-its-death]

21 shots deep and still better than most professional drummers on a good day! Cheers bro!🤘

[@defamationpunk]

It's literally like watching our typical band rehearsal, summarized in 22 minutes. Well done! 👏👏👏

[@kneegloc]

You're crazy, man. lol (I mean that in a good way.) I've watched you since your humble beginnings on KZbin and it's good to see your personality come out. You're a good man. And a fantastic drummer (obviously, but I just had to say it lol). Keep on rockin!

[@66Samus]

thank you very much!!
