[@RabeaMassaad]

Well that was fucking sick! Seriously man, love your feel and approach to tunes on the kit. For me one of the tastiest of modern drummers. You made this your own IMO.

[@diegosolana374]

Couldn’t agree more

[@JoeyJ234]

make the collab happen!

[@DanPresland]

can we get rabea and troy on a record please. ill finance it

[@longdrums]

He's up there with the best, Bea.

[@n10tan1gam1]

Man I was just listening to Siggy Pop today! 🤙🏾

[@seanbessette6517]

the double kicks at the very end made me laugh out loud with joy

[@tempuramonster]

Same!! That was perfect

[@drumerboy456sx]

Sames!!!

[@ppaweluz]

had this same

[@timmycue]

that ending gave me the chills... so good

[@drums4fan]

Was about to comment the exact same thing

[@ryancurtin9256]

The live Plini vids were amazing, so glad to see you back doing covers too! Always an instant click

[@Ryo7_7]

Yep. He's killer on the set.

[@M___E___N___A___C___E]

The freedom he took on this song is actually really sick!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@damondeleon5115]

I agree. People that have seen Troy know he could play it clean, and for the people that want to see the album version Matt already has that. Having some fun with it is the best choice

[@anthonyreynoso7275]

Absolutely! and AAL tunes really leave no options other than improvisation because aside than Matt himself, I don’t think the most advanced AI drum-bot can even play exactly what Matt plays lol.

[@M___E___N___A___C___E]

@@anthonyreynoso7275 FACTS!!!

[@dgarreis]

Simply every drummer wishes they could play like this no disrespect. Everything on point and insane. Watched it three times just to let it sink in wow.

[@Ch1ckenKatsu]

the best drummer on youtube is back

[@abcdefghijkl5408]

Except matt garstka is also on KZbin....

[@adamkascak5632]

I just love how Troy´s interpretation makes this whole song much more groovy! Saw him twice with Plini during their European tours and I was blown away. Very musical and tasty playing!

[@zachnoe4503]

What I really love about drum covers is that they’ll play how the song is written while adding their own flair and interpretation to it

[@Diesel_Budgie]

YES!! The original playthrough video is still one of the most impressive displays of drumming I've ever witnessed, and the song itself is simply badass. What a treat!

[@travenator16]

That double bass drum bit at the end was just the p e r f e c t finisher, fantastic playing!

[@joewaid]

Seeing you drum live for 3 full sets live was one of my absolute favorite concert experiences

[@axelenglish2922]

Usually you like the dopest fitness instructor. Now I know with an orange/red t-shirt you look like the grooviest fireman 🔥 Awesome drumming by the way, you still manage to make AAL sound easy to play. Thank you 🙏

[@miguelsaavedrums]

Keeping the five on the left foot while going to 4/4 and the comeback with the metric modulations was just beautiful

[@fadedpastel8640]

wow that part @3:40 where he's slowing down but staying on beat, incredible!!

[@M4RCM0NT31R0]

One of my favourite Animals as Leaders songs!

[@LiamNyeDrummer]

Hey man I always loved your cover videos from a little back, but now I've come back and see how much even better you've gotten. This is an insane cover! Super tasteful!

[@LewisMichaelMusic]

You brought a lot of life to this song! This is why we all love drums!

[@jasonstockler]

F Yeah! Nailed it! Love it.

[@TFARM56]

Love it bro.. Damm.. God bless you bro.... We need troy on drumeo soon as possible

[@Isaiah9277]

Oh yesssss, the metric modulation at the end there

[@robbledot7290]

Haven’t even watched the whole thing yet but let’s goooooooooo

[@danwybrow7226]

So good to have you back in the subs feed with a new cover, Troy! As I’m watching this I’m less than a hour away from being able to listen to the new AAL album. Freaking STOKED!

[@mattnormandrums]

I watch this nearly everyday. Such a great job dude 🤘🏼🥁

[@Ryo7_7]

Hell yea! One of my favorite drummers. Beast mode precision and groove.

[@nickpruett8022]

Still one of the best drum covers on the internet

[@laurentpoitevin2630]

Great job Man. With a little bit of your own touch. Chapeau!

[@scott3763]

I love how your left hand always has those ghost notes going. You are one of the best/ stylish drummers out there. Keep it going!

[@daviddayag]

amazing performance man!

[@atopermusic]

Absolute fire

[@fernanties]

Wow, I didn’t know anyone could accurately cover a Garstka tune. This is amazing

[@coltonrudd]

And this is why you've always been one of the GOATs! Always fun watching you play...make the complex look easy! Thank you for blessing us with your talent!

[@xkr3amox]

From this cover to the jail. Absolutely ilegal your performance. 👏👏👏👏

[@everettleach]

Two things I want in life, to be as a good of a drummer and as jacked as Troy Wright

[@acutting11]

The way you're able to play it note for note with that much power and then put your own spin on it at the end. Fucking beautiful.

[@pedranotme]

TIGHT!!!! I m loving the new look 😎

[@Calibur43]

What on Earth, this was gnarly. Always enjoy your videos man keep cranking them out.

[@szephyr]

Everytime I watch you play my mind is blown. The feel you bring to the song is unique and incredible. Seriously well done mate.

[@buenobus]

Beautiful drum cover. It's how fluid, on time, and in the pocket this is that is so wonderful. Thank you for the inspiration to improve as not just as a drummer but a musician overall.

[@Kolbein837]

Perfect blend of Plini and Meshuggah

[@masterid28]

Wow. Incredible drumming

[@blakeu8547]

Let's gooooo! SICK!!!

[@glenndonald7557]

And in Nerang-utan orange too! Top stuff!

[@infinitydrumming]

YES!!! So good to see you back man. You always make these your own, but perfectly complementary. You show there are still so many more ways to add beautiful parts to these amazing songs while honoring the original musical intent. Love your style bro. 🙏 ♥

[@corey.taylor.photography]

Dude is unreal

[@TreWatsonMusic]

A menace behind the kit as usual, Troy. Keep killing it!!!!

[@Caynug]

You seriously made this your own and I like your drumming on this track more!

[@MichelOliveiraOfficial]

INSANE!!

[@jaznovickzmthem210]

There are thousands world best drummers. I don't know why but i feel like i only trust Troy Wright

[@chieve05]

dang, i thought I was the only one who think of that

[@zumarrag]

Always yours... Mr. Wright.

[@markeraliev5557]

Awesome man! Troy as Leaders.

[@OTProd]

So clean! 😱👏🤙🏻🤘

[@kettlemagic]

I was there on the tour and took one of your lessons on the tour bus in New Orleans with 2 other blokes. Still grateful as hell y’all made it all the way down south. Cheers m8

[@starklassik]

Aww yes! You've covered some serious songs over the years but man, this one is something else. Great tone, great creativity while staying true to some of the Matt's key grooves. Will definitely be listening to your cover more. Would love to see your take on "System" by Brotherly!

[@Shitockiful]

Don’t forget that feel good guitar ending! Wouldn’t be the same without it!

[@ciroerez3112]

Butter smooth! love your painting!

[@MATTPERIPHERY]

Great performance, dude. Drums sound excellent!

[@skywarrior3508]

🔥ORGASMIC DRUMMING, BRO !!!!! THANKS A LOT.

[@jleffel6969]

It's crazy to think of a parallel universe where Troy joins AAL after the first album and this is just footage of him playing along with his band.

[@-ajms-]

Amazing skills

[@duster_235]

He‘s back better than ever! Makin it look easy troy very well done🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@vacinefernandoo]

Awesome! Animals as Leaders, respect. What a pleasure to see you smashing again a drum songs like that! Greetings from Brazil.

[@justulainen]

This was so amazing, that I'm not able to describe it with words. The drumming was flawless and the image quality was lifelike. The song choice was also really good and now I want to try to make a cover from this too, but it probably wouldn't be as perfect as this was. Every drum cover should be as good as this.

[@vhdrummer]

Beyond fire !

[@amimuhammad825]

HOLY SHIIIIITTTT..!!! 💥💥💥

[@manugentoodrums]

Mr.Troy the legendary mate, I missed your videos! your beard is a killlaaaaa! dope drumming as always! 👌

[@Hydrajenah]

Solid work and the right kind of drumming that has the 'it' factor when playing

[@bryanmclellan1588]

phenomenal.

[@vinman109]

So....damn....good!

[@ignaciojauregui7423]

flawless, and the mix is so powerful

[@marcio1745]

He's back, ladies and gentlemen. We shook hands in Zurich while you were touring with Plintervals and AAL dude. Nice dude and obviously, a beast drumming.

[@dedompler]

The sickest drum feature on the album and you blew it out the damn water. You're a monster troy, keep truckin

[@hopoptralala]

killin it!!!

[@wright.boy_]

amazing feel and dynamic range

[@WazzupDoc69]

The best of the best ✋😑🥁

[@stephenvaldez8097]

Troy, I've watched you when I was a middle schooler, now I'm almost 20. YOU HAVE NOT AGED MATE!!! HAHA! looking good troy!

[@painlessly_bc]

the evolution to beard Troy, not only necessary for this piece but damn man sick beard

[@seven8time]

Great interpretation! I love seeing covers where I know the player understands the music enough to change up subtle things vs an exact note for note cover (which is of course impressive and a lot of work too, but I appreciate interpretation a bit more).

[@SebBaldwin]

Outrageous.

[@ajenks73]

Bro!!!! You have got to be one of my favorite drummers, that was stupid good. The way you attack each note and the feel of your playing is just awesome. Someone tell this man to go sit down!!! LOL...

[@AndrewChettri]

SO SICK!

[@nickpruett8022]

Excellent work!

[@neutronstar6]

wow, incredible!

[@Metalcorable]

3:16 that is the best rhythmic section ever

[@stephenmylett3796]

Clicked for the beard, stayed for the beats 🤘

[@stixnfeet7818]

Makes AAL much more listenable!

[@yabuking84]

i knew it! thats why plini's drummer looked so familiar

[@senorbeige]

I remember some years back you were scheduled to tour with AAL but couldn't visa stuff situated in time. Glad to see you're still killing it!

[@MattHernandezDrums]

This is insane!!! So happy your posting again bro!! That drums set too!!!

[@antonribkin5319]

Omg amazing!!!

[@28black81]

Friggin Beast… what an ending!! Nice job!

[@GabrielCarrara]

UnBROlivable! LEGIT MATE!

[@frederikhansendrums]

MINDBLOWING!!! You just kill it every time! Well done my man. :D

[@hydrakn]

YES! Your Tempting Time video was how I found you. Glad to see this!

[@andrewshohe7747]

Wow just another level😇

[@daynelawless]

That Kit is clean and punchy as hell. ❤️

[@martinbrown1913]

YAAAASSSS QUEEN!!!!

[@prithivnatarajan]

that solo was super unique sounding

[@kimonkarapetsis8195]

Wow really insane how much work this band is putting into the drumming, truly one of the greatest bands in the world right now. Great playing man would love to see you cover some songs from their latest album!

[@TheMetalJam]

Yes yes yes! Thank you! I had been waiting for a new cover from you for years!

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Good god, that was unreal. If there was one drummer to fill in… Troy would do pretty damn good!
