Anup Sastry - Skyharbor - The Constant Play Through

[@CloudMountainJuror]

I didn't realize how complex the drumming was until watching this. Damn. Gives me a whole new appreciation for the song. Well done!

[@semenski90]

I love how diverse skyharbor is! Members from all over the globe, including, America, Britain, and India. With a feature from Sydney, Australia. Goddam. That is what music is about!!

[@resonantshadow]

I can not get enough of this song, the outro is one of my all time favorites and IS SO FUN TO PLAY! Thank you Anup and the rest of Skyharbor!

[@cjlc93]

That first Skyharbor album was and is a gem

[@JodyHughesWarriorKing]

You are STILL and will always be one of my Favorite musicians!

[@twoplustwoisnotfour]

Finesse. Like silk. Perfect drum orchestration and performance. Rare drummer

[@Dontlettheworldrot]

You are the best drummer of EARTH! Love your style man! Cheers from Argentina!

[@resonantshadow]

Has anyone else actually tried to play this?! The beat at 4:20 to the solo is insanely syncopated and accented, absolute individual control of each of your appendages is required, I think it's the hardest part of the song. You have to play it to understand it. So good, so fun. Thank You!

[@FededeDiosDrums]

actually a lot of it is groups of 3 between kick and snare as ksskss which he does, i think there are a lot of harder things in here, like that super fast fill going out of the solo

[@aka.Mr.French]

This is MUSICIANSHIP of the highest order. You play some incredibly complicated parts, yet are always playing *to the song.* The passion you bring to this music is intense, and the way you stoke and build the fire over the last couple of minutes is a large part of why this song is such a great closer to the album. Keep it coming, brother.

[@MythicalVII]

Anup never disappoints.

[@49wall]

Sooo Gooood! Love your drumming dude, so inspiring.

[@asdrummer2008]

Cheers hombre! Thanks a lot!

[@joshashmore9957]

Love this band....love this drummer.....excellent! !

[@jerrydilger]

This is the best sounding drum setup on KZbin!

[@quietroom2011]

So happy to see this play through, specially this song! I nearly fell off my chair, thx Anup! \m/

[@asdrummer2008]

Thank you! I appreciate the support!

[@Brockenkloppen]

Unreasonably awesome! :D The world deserves more of your Skyharbor covers so keep it up .

[@frogginbullfish8777]

This is just such a masterful piece of drumming.

[@LSDrums25]

Gosh you're such an insane drummer. I absolutely love your compositions, and for this record you just went beyond amazing. I get them feels all the time with this album, been jamming it 24 hours the day hahahahah Keep at it Anup, you rock!

[@adel.l.92]

Much more organic sounding mix, and that groove bruh,,, Great work

[@asdrummer2008]

Thanks a lot hombre! Means a lot!

[@DioHard]

Flawless! 0 Dislikes for a reason! You are a machine, man! A machine with plenty of feeling and musical taste!

[@EGrahamBass]

This is really cool, The Constant is my favourite song on the album so it's really cool for me to see how the parts fit together drum wise. Thanks so much for the music, all the best

[@rankest2390]

Anup you're the master!!

[@hyrulehero91]

Man Ive been watching so many of your vids. Intervals and Skyharbor? Urggg such a great drummer and big influence on my playing! I also loved your EP Titan! Keep pumping out the music man, truly talented.

[@jtz0]

Always awesome to watch you play. Precision, confidence and styyyyyyyyyle

[@kazaryth5150]

Oh my god this is beautiful. Everything in the video is so perfect and beautiful. Really look forward to becoming as good a musician and a drummer as you. Regards Aditya

[@antman2826]

Some awesome single kick work going on, and of course doubles too.

[@fakiekid]

Great to hear an appropriately tuned snare drum! Great playing! Top sound!

[@AA-gd8yw]

Flawless in sense.

[@eduardoaguiar3604]

The Best... O Melhor.... Anup 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@Kzard47]

Skyharbor are so lucky to have you man!

[@Ataraxia462]

Truly amazing!

[@RoSatrini666]

Beautiful mix

[@alexpinon7637]

I just wanted to say that u are my favorite drummer as of now. Im new to your channel and every video is absolutely perfect. I hope one day I can play somewhere close to your style because it sounds so good in nearly any circumstance. I just wanted to ask a quick question as well. Have u ever heard of this relatively small band called Auras? If not, u should take a listen to their album called "panacea". Its pretty short. I really was wondering if just maybe u could play a drum cover to any one of their songs because the drumming reminds me of your style which includes much of the amazing ghost notes (which I believe u should be famous for lol). They don't have any clean vocals--which I hope u don't mind--but the music is phenomenal. I really think u would enjoy doing covers of their songs. Anyways it was just a thought. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I really hope u never give up drums because u are really something special. Thanks, and have a great day.

[@Muskoxing]

Sounds awesome, as always. Love your playing!

[@siddharthapaul364]

Killer stuff. I love all your vids. Keep em coming.

[@ManguEry]

Such badass grooving man! Totally amazing drumming anup you are getting better and better! Some day I will get to that skill level and I hope that is soon!

[@JimmyDrumTech]

I love the mix. Great job bro

[@XxTRIPPINGxxGUITARxX]

Yessss my favorite Skyharbor song

[@josephstransky2427]

You've got a nice flow to your playing...awesome job bro

[@NabilKarsheh]

that snare is awesome Anup!

[@eccentricfox]

Killing it as usual dude, love from nepal

[@executeorders]

Absolutely amazing Anup! This is so well done!

[@graghuram]

Awesome drumming! Thanks, buddy. My fave. Sounds quite a bit like the groove you get when you lie back and listen to the sound of an Indian train when it is doing something between 60-100 kmph. ;p (when you're travelling by it, that is)

[@omgitsquiqui1]

Awesome. Incredible. Inspiring.

[@JDBeckMusic]

Dope as hell!!! As usual.

[@danielminnuies4057]

You kit is clean Wow!!!!!!!!... just genius

[@ramaprasetya3601]

Aaaaaaah great anup!! 😀😀

[@chancedillbeck]

I like the sound your getting right now a lot!

[@ShankulChavan]

The way you hit the Toms is just pure bliss.Also,the tones sound very natural than your previous videos,it's like you are playing them in front of us,almost.The cymbals,toms and snare sound just amazing,although I'd think of making the kick a little more thicker if I could naturally,but that's just me.One last thing,why you no put the top view cam?I love those in the past videos. :) Cheers \m/ You kill it everytime.

[@asdrummer2008]

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Yea I need to work on my source sound a lot more. I really want to start uploading very natural sounding audio, almost barely touched from what I tracked in other words. I'll keep the suggestions in mind. And I stopped using the top cam primarily because Im trying to keep my video editing a bit simpler.

[@ShankulChavan]

Please use the top cam too bro,it's like something's missing in here video wise and that's the solution. :)

[@Nesrasgado]

asdrummer2008 I actually like better this camera angles than the previous ones, look more simple and focus even more in your playing. especially the front angle, that's how we see you playing in gigs, and for me it's a lot better.

[@ShankulChavan]

Me too, I just miss the top view that's all. :)

[@felixgarstka]

keep it up Anup totally fell in love with your progressive style

[@asdrummer2008]

Thanks a lot for the kind words!

[@felixgarstka]

No problem, hearing you drumming makes me feel good so I have to say thank you!

[@samhinds2827]

This is fucking amazing in every way

[@TheBatosai]

Once more, you're a part of this never ending burning fire. Bring some peace to my tired eyes. Take this higher when angels sing with voices of the night. I dream of endless light, a life I sacrificed. I walk through endless night. Then I'm gone again. Once more, we're a part of this constant motion. Give me the strength to keep my body going. Hide in darkness till the day is done. Exposed to so much danger, pacifying strangers. It's a story that I wrote for you, listen closely as I break through. This effigy is spinning free. I dream of endless light, a life I sacrificed. The flood of power will be overwhelming. Run, hide until it's over. Didn't you see I was sinking? I was drowning overboard. I awaken. Sleep with tainted thoughts until the day that you grow old. It's a forgiving notion. I've never been so emotionally blind, I'll never give up and drop, and I know I'll never come back down from here, resisting gravitation. The stars have never been unkind, the galaxies burn into and I know they'll never leave my mind. Life is constant motion, the moon is round but has two sides, the light shines deep into and I see myself in those blue eyes, you are my incarnation. Crying eyes, give me clarity within the darkness. Hide away until the day is done. Reveal to me your nature, secret prying stranger. It's the greatest day you'll ever know. Save me from these crying eyes. Give me strength to keep my body going. Hold my heart and let the blood flow. Exposed to so much danger, pacifying strangers. It's the greatest day you'll ever know. Save me from this drowning state Give in to the flood. This is my last devotion to you. Give in to the endless flood. This is my last devotion to you.

[@laykay002]

How come i'm just finding out about you dude!!!!!! Nice mix and displacements on point

[@SkunkDozer]

Bro, I love your awareness of dynamics. Seems like a simpler setup lends more to that almost. Who would you say influenced your sense of dynamics and your attention to that area of your playing?

[@siddhantkumar2741]

Too good😍😍

[@gauravnarwani651]

Amazing drumming !! When will u put up a video of kaikoma

[@dvpm16]

You are amazing!

[@ATMOSPHRS]

Nice!

[@MattRach]

Really nice!

[@carldeniega8509]

canon guy

[@michen667]

Even better than the last!

[@Panda_SMM]

would you consider doing a drum playthrough of a Plini or Sithu Aye song?

[@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind]

DAT playing! Dude, you're killer! Awesome video, I personally think it sounds better that the album version haha Love it!

[@Lltq1368s]

So sweet :D you sound so good! keep rocking :D

[@picwent]

Awesome playing. Awesome sounding kit. Awesome stash of sticks in the background. Needs more dog bark though, haha just kidding. That snare sounds pretty damn tasty too, wood snares are defo my fav. Got my eyes on a Starphonic bubinga :)

[@EvilSamson95]

I love it .. And I'm lucky to see this video because normally I wouldn't have klicked on it because you kind of always do the same .. It's very complicated, so complicated that I don't understand whats going on, so all sounds kind of equal to me.. Don't get me wrong, your videos are of a very high quality, but for me it has always been that super brutal and super fast and frantic - so after a while boring .. So now, I'm really happy to see what you are able to do in other musical directions :) Cheers !

[@jahdiyahmurray7687]

just wondering what the sticking is at 5:47, btw that was unreal, amazing

[@adamtaylor31]

Well alright, Anup. Nice!

[@travenator16]

actually, i think the mix is very tight on this one. good job! oh and that snare sounds amazing to me cheers

[@karthikunnikrishnan9608]

Was anyone able to get a guitar cover/playthrough for this?

[@chrissocey4793]

Amazing job Anup! I request Halogen. Keep up the great work man! asdrummer2008

[@BrushesofDoom]

amazing videos as always, Can I ask what the name of those red dampeners are and any recommended videos or articles on how to place when recording? please and thank you

[@isaacllovera]

Amazing playing! I love the new Skyharbor record. Are you using a sound replacer for the snare? At the 4:23 sounds different snare sound. Greetings from Argentina bro! :)

[@Sodigerati]

Dude.... you should definitely play Dots, I'm it'd be wonderful!! Loved this video man, great seeing Skyharbor again!

[@MaddJakd]

3 dislikes from those mad he's no longer part of Skyharbor. He's simply too good for what they became

[@Jordy666sic]

Funny how this is the same lad from the 2010's New Groove cover. Nice work once again.

[@rafaelpalma]

Hélio Anup! You're an amazing drummer! I'm share yours vídeos with all of my friends rs WhatsApp happen with the Sirens Sound vídeos? This is my favourite!

[@NachiketKarekarMusic]

Anup have you started to read charts while playing now? Like Travis Orbin

[@Subhradip_Bose]

awesome ,, just keep on playing..

[@NathansWargames]

Hey Anup.very Impressed by all your videos :) i See you do playthroughs of other bands songs .you've done a few for Chimp Spanner so how about some for Cloudkicker ? I'd certainly enjoy hearing a non computerized drumming version of 1 of his songs :) Seattle by him would be my choice ( mainly because it's my fave cloudkicker song ) . please do it ! he'll certainly enjoy seeing what you can do with one of his best tracks !

[@vishalgiridhar6606]

I wish you came to Bangalore, I could have met you o:

[@Demiurge66]

Best prog metal drummers in the game are are matt Garstka, Anup, and Matt halpern.

[@inixi8ocelot]

Add Alex Rüdinger on that list :v

[@kaimeier82]

silver sif and make him nr. 1 .. There is noone more prog than Alex xD

[@zinnixd1]

Kai Meier naah i guess my list woul look like: 1. Matt Garstka 2.Matt Halpern and Anup 3.Alex

[@Convisis]

Vanish EditZ And Steve Judd from Karnivool.

[@grantolson7200]

Nah man gotta go anup, garstka and jay postones

[@resonantshadow]

Where's Idle Minds bro? That song is too fun to play! No covers or play-throughs on KZbin either.

[@Beantypechannel]

Ur my everything 😭

[@simmeonsradiorock]

I want your drum sounds for my kontakt player there so sweet sounding I want them in all my music

[@sanoroth]

Hey Anup, love the video, beautiful song! I watched skyharbor perform in Bangalore 2 months ago, so wished you were there and i hope to see you next time! Hey, and how do you like the new cobra pedals? I use them and when i tried the demon drives, it's a world of a difference between them, just curious to know how comfortable you are with the cobras.

[@ClaveJimenez]

the best! wooooojoooouuu!! :D

[@rapjass]

Awesome stuff! Will you be doing covers of other bands if you get the time?

[@PutoInvisivel]

have no idea why as a guitarist i always end up watching your videos instead of some "3764532 guitar chords you must know" youtube video

[@LenweWallace]

Where is that? I've seen Alex Rudinger playing in that same studio

[@danielharvey6643]

That's Anup's studio. Rudy, Travis Orbin, and other drummers I'm sure have done sessions there.

[@clever8088]

Why did alex rudinger and anup switch to tama over pearl?

[@kamilsliw19941]

Freakin' killer. Also, was wondering what mis do you use for overheads, and what is that mic on the snare?

[@MoreThanRiot]

Wow! Great work as usual! This is really inspiring :) May I ask what you use to mic up your Bd? is it just one Beta 52 or are my eyes trolling? :D

[@burnthedead13]

I'm not saying Pearl drums are bad at all but Tama just seems to fit what you and Alex Rudinger play alot better.Keep killin it Anup!!!!!

[@moonodude17]

Hey Anup! Sick video as always. Kind of a weird question, but what kind of shoes are you wearing? I noticed in the last vid and in this one that you weren't wearing your usual Globe shoes. Did they wear out or did you lose 'em, or did you find these to be more suitable for drumming in?

[@asdrummer2008]

hahaha! Interesting find, and good eye! Yea the Globe's started going on me. I've played in those shoes for YEARS. The new ones are made by Supra! They feel a bit less heavy on my feet too.

[@inixi8ocelot]

Intense as always! :) Hey Anup, what's your Hihats here? is it Byzance Brilliant or Byzance Traditional?

[@samrag85]

Anup please put up Halogen and Evolution up next! :D

[@asdrummer2008]

Yup! I do plan to do that for sure!

[@samrag85]

asdrummer2008 Awesome! BTW Huge fan! Been a real inspiration to us Indian drummers. Keep up the good work!

[@juniiii4622]

Killing it as usual man, can i request Ephemeral or Evolution =D

[@asdrummer2008]

Thanks a lot! Ephemeral is already up, but its being featured on Modern Drummer's KZbin channel. And Evolution is coming up for sure!!!

[@juniiii4622]

Cheers Anup!

[@aannurag]

Do a playthrough of Guiding lights please :3

[@warwick724]

Any reason you like the 4 piece set up ?? I used to play a 6 piece but like the 4 piece keeps you focused I think!?!?🤔🤔

[@kaboomeow]

+warwick724 It's a preference thing. I used to aspire to play massive sets like Neil Peart and Portnoy, but I stripped myself down to nothing but a single pedal, 4-piece, hi-hat, and ride for about 6 months recently, and I'll just say that there's no turning back. I feel like it makes me rely more on making things sound interesting and different, rather than letting a bunch of drums and cymbals do it for me. Either way, it's all preference. Also, he plays a 5-piece.

[@warwick724]

I keep going back and forth with 5 and 4 sometimes you want another tom and other times I dont care ...typical mind screw!

[@LuanFronza1]

why 20x16 Sr Sastry? :O

[@s3fron]

that's fucking beautiful, man...

[@andys3035]

Need a kick drum cam, those speeds are ridiculous. Nice work
