Anup Sastry - Devin Townsend - Evermore Play Through

[@jeffmartin-g8r]

I don't want to say this song changed my life, but it was the first I heard of Devin Townsend. Favorite (male) artist now. Anup's drumming is perhaps my favorite. I am a better man now.

[@cptlooney]

Everytime I watch this. I love you more. Thankyou

[@jg043]

This drum part is so exquisite, perfectly tailored for the music, just perfect in its mix of power and finesse, I love it.

[@asdrummer2008]

Thanks for the kind words! \m/

[@coldmoonlight6361]

There's just something special about watching a drummer in their natural habitat. It always brings me peace... So again, thank you Anup. You're an absolute monster in the best possible way.

[@justinrensel8518]

I just can't believe how this man hits the drums

[@TheDeuceWins]

I'm absolutely loving this song, I don't know why but around 4:30....after that fill your right arm just kind of glides to the ride so smoothly and I love it. The other arm is doing ghost notes, foot is complimenting the snare hits then there is that arm just nonchalantly going to where it's supposed to. It's like a person just casually crossing the street in perfect synchronization to the traffic that's going much faster than he is.... It's awesome...great job on this bro. Also I love the sound of the kit.

[@SyeDrums]

I just absolutely love your drumming, the attention to detail you’ve made in the parts is not going unnoticed, amazing. Hits me hard, your grooves are out of this world. Hope Devin uses you again.

[@camu123789]

Yesssss so fucking powerful, really glad Devin chose you for this album!

[@felipegomes8484]

Whaaat? Mr Sastry was the drummer in Empath??

[@felipegomes8484]

Yes, I found my answer in Wikipedia! Amazing!

[@666thekreator]

There are 3 drummers on Empath. Him, 66Samus and I don't know the other one.

[@thedronedownunder3919]

Worst Chicken SEX!

[@BrofUJu]

The funky part into the I AM. I AM part is one of my favourites on this album, the grooves are so sick.

[@thedronedownunder3919]

One of my favorite tracks on the album, largely due to your drumming, mate. Your tone is so infectious, not to mention skill factor off the charts.

[@yordanmishev6781]

one of the best I've ever heard! and super favourite!

[@NateNavarro]

Killer, bro! So groovy and aggressive.

[@asdrummer2008]

Thanks brotha man! I hope tour is going well. \m/ YOU RULE.

[@Averagedrum]

@@asdrummer2008 Do you have the drum notation for this by any chance? Awesome drumming man.

[@magnuszetterqvist5936]

Still loving!

[@andrewfunchar4306]

My favorite tune on the record. Fun watching the actual drummer play it note for note. Awesome job, Anup.

[@MusaTariq25]

YES I was waiting for a play through of this one! I’d love to hear one for King, too

[@rysf]

Congratulations you've entered Devin' Fantasy...

[@educostanzo]

Your playing is so explosive and yet so precise, so cool to watch. I sincerely hope you'll be able to join Dev onstage at some point on his tour.

[@Brandon-zn8rf]

Totally thought Samus did the double bass at the end! Excellent job!!!!

[@petegrusky2715]

I would play this slightly different, but i really enjoy the way you performed; good synchronization and timing.

[@reisselpud]

Hope I can see you LIVE one day with Devin in France 🤞 ❤️

[@JPGRAPHX3]

Smoother than a gravy sandwich !

[@chasewills3320]

This drum mix is so good. I absolutely love it!

[@RonErez]

this is amazing!! very unique! please never stop working with Devin

[@scottc9928]

Fuck yes Anup!!!!! Your an absolute monster behind the kit . Nobody fills the pocket as stylish as you do . Keep up the amazing work dude!

[@Michael_Michaels]

Anup's playing the new DT song = instant like!

[@danglesify]

That ride bell sings beautifully!

[@jamesburris3397]

Damn,what a freak'n beast.

[@Snaffdude]

So much groove!!!

[@kokkadawok8275]

I think Devin is creating a new genre called 'Transcendental Metal'.

[@fishingpatriotisback]

Hope you get to tour with Devin one of these times that would be awesome.

[@Fedemodersvin]

Goosebumps in the end.. Love the way you play.. :)

[@tobiastk5391]

What a powerhouse of a drummer

[@robertbrowning1650]

everything about this is perfect

[@jameswilson4426]

Awesome song, amazing drums. I envy your talent.

[@8milestreet]

So good!!!

[@adrianbird1964]

Quite rare to hear metal drums with such groove! Awesome playing and perfect composition in my opinion. That snare is soooooo fucking punchy too!

[@MrJacksAxe]

Incredible! cool song, made even cooler by Anup's awesome drum composition!

[@ianbellphotovideo]

You are the man, Anup! Keep killing it. 🤘🏻🔥

[@wolfsonginteractive9124]

How have I not seen this before?

[@frankzapper5762]

Dude hell yes!!! Great video and best album of the year! I'm pretty sure anyone who loves Devin but doesn't know ya are now big fans

[@t3hgir]

Anup, Meinl, Tama, Vic Firth, Evans... Sounds incredible!! As many others have said, thank you for your work on this album. It's great bro!

[@RoisinT2]

Great drumming man! And to play with the god himself DT is the biggest compliment there is!

[@bcdey84]

This is my favorite song on the album and I don’t know why. It is just so different and I love everything about it. I think it’s the random use of chromatics. It is just one cog in a masterpiece of an album. Your work on that album is amazing, very awesome work man!

[@BryanButler]

Such a great song

[@jkaipainen]

Damn solid playing.. I'm definitely impressed. Like wow!

[@Brandon-zn8rf]

I love your Carter Beauford like playing when you do the ride/Tom/HH grooves. Super tasty.

[@jacaroklive5291]

Diverse mixture of styles going on.. Great work!! And solid production!!

[@Centerpieceofmind]

The sound quality is absolutely great. The kit sounds amaze. Of course, wonderful playing as well.

[@jakatole2269]

Great stuff thanks. Keep the empath drum cover coming!

[@asdrummer2008]

Thanks a lot brotha man! I hope all is well.

[@jamespetrocore1702]

so good

[@skywarrior3508]

Anup ,Russia loves you.

[@Fudgedrums]

Yeah not separating and isolating each mic/drum is working wonders. Your later recordings are way warmer and less processed sounding. Killing it!

[@asdrummer2008]

Thank you! I appreciate that feedback. I still process my drums for mixing, but I'm learning that keeping things much more open for drum videos is helping.

[@Fudgedrums]

asdrummer2008 yeah you’ll always have to do processing. Eq and compress etc but they sound wayyy better than they did like 2 years ago! I have recording stuff but haven’t yet started the mixing. Unsure if I want to get into it or just record and get someone else to do it. Troy Wright takes care of my stuff for now haha

[@theyconsiderthis]

Killer dude. Just killer. Hey Dev!! 👋❤️

[@619Tobias619]

I really like your videos man! Sick drumming! Keep it up!

[@chrismack1535]

Dude... This Kills 👊🏼 💯

[@AmauriLucas]

Soo sick man!

[@Kraven7Metal]

Hey Anup, please make a video of how you tune your drums, specially your snare drum! ✌💪👏👏👏👏

[@asdrummer2008]

I plan on doing this for sure!

[@alexbonch2320]

Cool 👍👍👍👍👍

[@cazzdorak2502]

Love your work on this album!!! Will there be a singularity... "There be monsters" playthrough???🤗🤗🤗🤗🤔🧐🤯 Because that would be fucking mind numbing and thanks ahead of time ANUUUUP

[@hevybarsy7174]

holy sh*t. this song is actually really interesting in 1.25x speed :D

Can confirm. Pretty cool.

Please play King!!

[@vyacheslavchigir3559]

WOW

[@miesenbachofficial7413]

Hmm...didn't somebody tell the 8 people who accidently smashed the dislike button, that they just need to click it again?

[@garyrsingleton]

OH DUDE I DIDNT KNOW YOU WERE THE ACTUAL STUDIO DRUMMER FOR THIS??!?!?!?

[@asdrummer2008]

Much fun! \m/ It was three of us.

[@augustine158]

Should I go with Evans EC2 or Remo Pinstripes? Im having a hard time finding a good video of a comparison.

[@seandunawaydrums1060]

If you are looking for the thuddy deep sound then I'd suggest the ec2s. I find the pinstripes have a tad more sustain then the ec2s. If you want a bit more tone but controlled overtones then the pinstripes would be great

[@Fudgedrums]

Is there a transcription available for this??

[@ndzick718]

Sounds great; but why is it slower than the record?

[@justinrensel8518]

Fucking incredible

[@nickowns666]

my guy anup did you sample the snare my g?

[@PontschPauPau3451]

Anup how do you get everything to have such an amazing punch? Is it the mic-ing, the tuning, post-processing, or just years of practice?

[@khennigs]

Yes

[@herrpauk]

Why does the first 2 minutes sound like a christmas song? :D Anyway, cool stuff Anup!

[@enriquemontano2232]

But can you play singularity
