Adam Gray - Defenseless - Texas in July

[@badsgt1]

Did anybody else hear a salute to Bleed by Meshuggah.

[@TheAceOfOnes]

This song was insane live. Such an underrated band and drummer, I really hope they continue to get bigger this album is my favorite to date!

[@MrGameguy11]

Zach B too bad they are breaking up

[@alexlebon6456]

​@@MrGameguy11Now they are back together!! (Since Matt Greener is having a baby the boys decided to give one more go!!) 🤘🏻😁

[@EndbringerMalikGreen]

2:05 Holy one bass pedal action, Batman!

[@andrewdoud9861]

I love :24 with the meshuggah bleed pattern!!!! So brutal!!!

[@grinkorable]

0:39 Tomas Haake mode activated....

[@OttoAster]

Exactly :d

[@OttoAster]

Adam just showed us that he can just play everything :D what a Boss

[@patrickryandrums]

+grinkorable i was thinking the same thing lol

[@drumdude0072]

It sounds just like bleed, almost thought it was at first lol

[@peacelovelightandfruit8471]

+NathanDrums Only difference being that its a 5 over 4 feel instead of the 3 over 4 feel in bleed.

[@ARDrummer]

So musical and technical at the same time...outstanding drumming!

[@KevinCorkran]

yesssss! so glad to finally see Adam playing this

[@AsAugustSleeps]

Love this album so much

[@jacobvera2014]

This is so awesome

[@masonpasteur3490]

Legends say they never found that drum key.

[@MrDrockBaby]

Crushed it. Good work, Adam!

[@Andy4543]

soo good!!

[@MattJFilms]

Ever since I heard this song on the album I fell in love with it, been dying to see this so pumped that it's finally here!

[@richardnunezartisrty]

you are one of my favorite drummers of all time, so much fun to watch.

[@BenGSimon]

SO SICK. Adam never ceases to amaze me! I understand the camera motion, but after a while...it just kind of seemed like a drunk guy was attempting it. I liked it, but perhaps a little less camera motion next time? :P

[@logybearswag]

Fantastic drumming as always. Although the camera work detracted from the video because i was distracted. That method might be more appropriate for a less technical drummer, Adam is already a showman.

[@jbobtwentysix]

I have to watch this once a week, just to remind me where I could get

[@ATXmw1]

phenomenal and flawless. your drums on bloodwork are nuts.

[@01234567897982]

favorite drummer right there

[@drakausdromgatti58]

I love how this dude moves when he plays

[@patrickryandrums]

Love it Adam!

[@Gagerz_]

Nice awesome as always!

[@AndItsNothing]

Awesome Adam! Stoked you have a channel now man. Hope many more vids to come.

[@Nonamethankyou128]

SOOO AWESOME

[@ronson3161]

Pure glory!

[@brunoanker77]

Amazing!!!

[@jalenbyrd7202]

Wouldn't it be cool if Adam put up another drum vid?

[@90s267]

This is the comment I was looking for.

[@kleverbought]

I would really really really really really really really like to see you do a video like this to "03 Deville" because that song is a percussion masterpiece.

[@MattJFilms]

Christopher Burnisky I tihkn I'd die if he did! That song is sooooooooooooo good!

[@GabrielXDrums]

love the foot work !!!

[@gabrielgomer]

This is soo sick dude..

[@deitydrummer94]

If you look closely on the back of his head there's a scar where I'm sure some robots implanted a microchip into his brain, because he's a machine. His level of talent is unreal and he deserves to be the drummer of the year ever year!

[@parmera]

BEAST

[@LautaroQ2812]

That sound though is as good as the camera work.

[@mddofficial3051]

my inpiration .. your the best greeeeey :) !!!

[@ThatKiDwiththeDrums]

Awesome, cameraman was doing waaaaaay too much though.

[@SpringwoodProductions]

We like our videos to be more entertaining and interactive. People aren't used to that with drum videos. Appreciate the feedback though.

[@antnyneveruploads]

springwoodprod Yeah I get the whole moving camera thing, and it didn't bother me in his Broken Soul playthrough, but it felt like too much here.

[@1dudecrush]

springwoodprod interactive and entertaining is one thing, but an actual drummer watching this honestly just wants to watch him play, not feel like they're dancing around the kit sporadically.

[@TIMEDISORT]

ThatKiDwiththeDrums The cameraman is just having a mild stroke.

[@MrBobbybobbyYEAH]

+Mitch ZImmerman word up mang,

[@JoeLackey]

The cameraman is making me seasick.

[@evancline18]

Watch him play Composure. He plays it note for note but with more finesse.

[@lbdrumming4423]

very creative drumming man, f*ckin awesome =)

[@PUNKYMEFISTO]

I don't think the audio engineer likes metal, that bass drum needs way more attack

[@randywebb3504]

He has real soft beaters on his pedals

[@jbardugon]

The best thing about cargo shorts are the pockets of course! People ask all the time what can I fit in there and I tell them, your imagination is your best friend! One time I put a pair of binoculars, a tape measure and a ziplock baggie of oyster crackers in one pocket alone! You don’t even wanna know what was in the other pockets.

[@TheGreatBryttan]

I wish the audio production was better. I can't hear the kick drum to save my life and the cymbals are too loud in comparison. This is metal. I should be able to hear the double bass very easily. Also, there are definitely ways to keep non-drummers interested in the video other than making is seem like the viewer is on a rocking ship at sea. A good reference video would be one of Jeremy Tremp's productions on Luke Holland's KZbin channel.

[@TheMoneymaker43]

I would love to see Adam play some ABR songs and Matt play some TIJ songs..that would be dope

[@djvirtudazo5027]

i like when adam hits his left and right crashes at the same time...

[@brunonogueira899]

Isso é um animal...

[@ChrisC1411]

0:39 DEFENSELESS.

[@RhysK94]

Awesome song and playthrough, but god that bass drum sounds like balls! and who else thought that part at 0:40 secs sounds very similar to Bleed from Meshuggah, sounded fucken awesome!

[@maddin1268]

Hey Adam, what happened to you and your channel? The latest Things happened 4 years ago! Found nothing new in the Internet either. Are you well up, I hope so! Your are such a killer, man. Awesome drumming!

[@SgtActivityy]

So when do we get to see you do Decamilli?

[@kyleKINGSMEN]

Damn dude...

[@newspaperlightbulb]

0:28, Christ, you've got to be kidding...

[@AldreenAlcantara]

Totally what a player! Just curious, anyone know the song on the intro / outro?

[@wearejhr]

***** Into and outro song: Skytown Riot- Runaway Princess

[@AldreenAlcantara]

Hey thanks a lot!

[@GumboRyan]

This is sick. Intro song ?

[@edsonzamora6819]

@AdamGray what china are you using in this video the one on your far left? It sounds awesome!

[@SoggyBagelz]

Didnt really mind the camera work. It really didnt detract from anything tbh lol

[@dschimp]

Good calf workout

[@lcsbatera9250]

1:13 snare sound like a flan snare/tom :P

[@jacobhackbarth6967]

Awesome cover, but why is he using such soft base drum mallets?

[@reyman16]

Question are stave shells heavier than regular drum shells?

[@vineetkamble]

Amazing video. The best drummer on planet earth - Adam Gray.... Though Adam added few elements which we all loved but every now and then their songs on every album is monotonous... I wish they could add more explosive breakdowns, more of double base and more use of China cymbal

[@R3dd_1247]

camera man doin the most

[@kalveryigor1873]

Why runaway?

[@paulbartolay6285]

beaassstttt

[@jisonjacob9501]

Could someone please let me know the song which was played in the intro ?

[@ramirogamboa169]

THIS IS MY ONLY OPORTUNITY FOR YOU RESPOND ME, IM SUSCRIBTE AT YOU CHANEL OF KZbin, ADAM YOU ARE MY MASTER MY SENSEIO PLEASE UPLOAD MORE VIDEOS AND MORE AWESOME TECHNICS. I NOT SPEAK WITH YOU WHEN YOU COME TO BARCELONA SPAIN, IN JULY OF 2012 GREAT SHOW IM THE BOY OF BLUE SHIRT I UP OF THE STAGE I SPEAK WITH U OF I SEE YOU VIDEOS ALL DAY ALL NIGHT , THANK YOU ADAM, AND CONGRATS FOR BE A GREAT DRUMER AT THE WORLD.

[@AndrewDRoyappa]

Sick playing as always. Am I the only one that thinks this video is lacking in treble? The video for Broken Soul didn't have this problem.

[@prodrumm3r1]

With the drums were a little more clear

[@koureywheeler]

Adam gray who once was in Texas in July?????

[@jacobbutler7942]

+Adam Gray I love watching you play adam, i learn so much. Please upload some more content my dude, im thirsty af. And if could check my channel and leave a comment, that'd be dope too. Love you dude, stay gold!

[@Adamkaleta_]

This man is an absolute machine, I love the parts he writes. However, the camera guy and the audio engineer are probably the same guy, and that guy is probably a money. That moving back and forth motion way pretty dumb, and the mix sounds all muddy.

[@ND-iz6dd]

0:30

[@brunonogueira899]

Man...

[@viciouscombo]

What are you doing now that TIJ is done?

[@0282vinny]

drum Tech for matt

[@dragonrider4339]

:30 just skip to that part.. incredible dude.. i wish i could do that… when i grew up playing the fastest stuff i played was like green day ,nirvana, hole, smashing pumpkins.. i never got good practice with double pedals or double bass drums ..

[@TW_Drums]

I love this and this is an amazing play through on Adam's part, but I hate the mix. It's so muddy

[@EricVellekoop]

2:25 👀

[@FIRST465]

Intro and outro songs name?:3

[@FIRST465]

+FiRsT465 Skytown Riot - Runaway Princess, aaaah thank you

[@Woldale]

+FiRsT465 lol

[@FIRST465]

***** lol

[@rogerrabbit2902]

+FiRsT465 LOL

[@FIRST465]

+Roger Rabbit lol wth

[@Naughtykettle]

Ugh what’s the intro song?

[@theguy4361]

What is your China?

[@Goregaltha]

Go home cameraman, you're literally drunk.

[@Yandrums66]

China which he is using in the video?

[@prodrumm3r1]

It's a k

[@Yandrums66]

K custom?

[@TheGodsMustBeCrazy]

Yan Carlos K Custom Hybrid 19"

[@andrewcox1502]

I bet he cracks cymbals pretty often😂

[@jacobbutler7942]

I just found a piece of resin in my belly button. wtf.

[@elcee1115]

When I air drum, I always pretend my technique and approach are as clean as Adam's

[@keenman0403]

It’s all in the wrists my guy

[@DanteKishishev]

Is it just me or do the drums sound really dry? it just sounds.. off. In the least, a lot of drums should have more high end than they do currently. Playing is fine though.

[@pierces19941]

+Dante Kishishev they were all attack, not a lot of body or resonance

[@JamesLansdowne]

It sounds like they've just used the audio from one or two overhead mics instead of all the close mics as well...which wouldn't really make sense.

[@aaronshifflett8382]

Poor mans Matt griener

[@TheBreddflock10]

I hate it when famous drummers post videos and make a channel and have so many fans including me comment on all of the videos take Time out of our day to watch and enjoy and they can't even reply to comments. Makes me mad because it's like they don't care about the fans. Thank you would be nice . Not being a dick I love Adam gray . You know what I mean ??

[@TheTrevytrev]

To be honest, you don't know what anybody has on their plate. And to judge character based off of not replying to KZbin comments is a little selfish. Not saying your a bad person or anything but yeah

[@peacelovelightandfruit8471]

+AlexanderTheGreat Reddoch Sut up you selfish idiot. He's made 3 videos for starter's, secondly, don't be a Stan. If you listen to eminem you'll understand.

[@TheBreddflock10]

Peace Love Light and Fruit fuck Eminem . and fuck you too . I can say whatever the hell I want

[@TheBreddflock10]

+Ryan Bigham people are taking this comment way to seriously.. I'm just simply giving an opinion people don't have to be so mean...this is America I can have an opinion

[@01234567897982]

+AlexanderTheGreat Reddoch maybe he has too many comments to reply to ? because sometimes you can see him answering people...

[@dekubutler1702]

whats that intro song?

[@lausolo]

+Deku Butler Sandstorm - Darude

[@jaygarcia5748]

I got sea sick at about the 3:00 mark. the camera guy gave a cheesy feel to the video.

[@conzye]

cymbals?

[@TheGodsMustBeCrazy]

conzye He uses A custom crashes 18" and 16". K Custom Hybrid Hats. K Custom ride, K custom hybrid china.

[@TheGodsMustBeCrazy]

conzye A Custom ride my bad

[@conzye]

anbukakashi689 are they normal a custom crashes or like medium and fast crashes?

[@johnstacy6075]

Here's his exact cymbal setup: 14" k custom hybrid hi hats 9" oriental splash 19" A custom crash 12" oriental china 19" A custom Projection crash 20" K custom ride or a custom ride 19" k china

[@johnstacy6075]

Also 11" k custom hybrid splash

[@antiago1983]

Poor crashes... :'(

[@noneck9008]

That bass drum needs more attack.

[@joecopp]

I'm sorry but whatever the camera dude is doing here has got me laughing

[@ecksit7637]

JESUS CHRIST

[@milkmanswife93696]

weird ass foot technique. impressive anyway.

[@sshrngn]

Cymbals weren't "high-endy" enough for me lol. Lost a lot of crispiness in the mix. The whole drum mix was muffled a bit IMO.

[@Mustis91]

which fu*king heads?!

[@jeffclark6552]

great song and great cover, but the videography was not the best...

[@SpringwoodProductions]

Appreciate the feedback but as we said before our videography is a bit more interactive and keeps the attention of the non drumming viewer. Thanks again and we will work on a better experience.

[@jeffclark6552]

springwoodprod yeah I know exactly why you would want to do that, but I personally just thought it was a little too much movement and it made it hard for me to watch Adam's drumming in a detailed way. It was entertaining regardless, so to that I say well done! :)

[@Easyofff]

Poor cymbals hahaha

[@regul8or71]

incredible drumming but terrible camera work and sound editing. I have to look away every few seconds so I don't get nauseous.
