[@ghostgate82]

The most underrated band in the history of music. 10/10

[@rougered6121]

Couldn't agree more man how are they not HUGE

[@joshualegroulx9629]

Yo throw Karmanjakah in there too Haha

[@ckokomo808]

Native construct is one of my fav underrated bands…maybe not underrated but unknown.

[@ghostgate82]

@@ckokomo808 It would be nice if they didn’t break up. They were amazing.

[@caseyobrien2681]

I love the slight differences between the record and these playthroughs. James is surely going down in history as one of the best to ever prog

[@me333death333me]

For the algooooooriiiiiiiiiithm 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣 ❤️

[@blumenmusic]

additions at 6:30 were siiiick

[@cb4atl]

Absolute sorcery

[@amandag1337]

The drum kit sounds so crispy and delicious

[@squillybobjoe]

the cat socks and leopard fit truly push this performance to the next level

[@Jdman5150]

I listen to this song daily, can't wait for the new album. I've been playing drums for 40+ years, James is an incredible and creative drummer and has easily become one of my favorites. I haven't been this excited about a band since discovering Dream Theater back in 1989.

[@lastditch727]

If I heard this drumless track I'd never think these were the drums for the song. What a hard hitting and heavy approach to a piano track. Crazy.

[@Francisepdrums]

I love this KZbin recommendations! DAAAAMNN BOIII 👀🔥

[@OutrunTheSunlight]

What a handsome man

[@StrateleStudios]

Damn James! That was freaking beastly! 😮💪💪🥁🫶

[@aaronsparks9012]

Honestly it's not that easy too play what he was playing for ten minutes at a time which means he's either very good at playing the drums that should be obvious at this point or he's very comfortable behind the drum set or hey why not both regardlessly well done James you can tell you put in a lot of work behind that performance. 🤘

[@wby5491]

Damn Daniel

[@Taylor0553]

Bro, when I first found this band I had no idea I just watched you play for Oni in Winnipeg. Your sick man

[@FabioFabboPalmisano]

When drummers have techniques and creativity no "tu pa tu tu pa" are allowed! Amazing!

[@CoreyParkison]

Holy crap! Such a beautiful conglomerate of the best drummers in prog. Including your own, of course. You, sir, are a savage.

[@drMattZappa]

The Performance. The Mix. The Cinematography. All Chef's Kiss

[@zombi0muertos]

Thank you! I love it

[@ryancox5097]

Super clean playing. 💪🏼

[@peperonikiller]

9:14 just gets me right in the gut. Simple yet powerful.

[@jasonwright4144]

bro your drum mix is incredible!

[@Schlusenbach]

That's some good shit bro. Clean as fuck.

[@ericwisel4015]

So incredible. Those kick hits at 9:40 gave me goosebumps. Masterful drumming to a masterpiece

[@bryanpirille2660]

GREAT FINALLLL BROOOOOOO

[@TonySloun]

Wow!!!

[@CobraNOY]

Perghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........

[@sharchik916]

2:10 just here to draw attention to underrated drum fills lol love you bb

[@BrianChef]

Dude... You are a friggin badass!! Amazing song and it wouldn't be the same without you behind the kit

[@rougered6121]

I heckin love you guys man ❤ oozing talent every single one of you.

[@ultimate0verlordmasterclas553]

wow holy shit!!!

[@Coastfog]

What a monster, the song and you both.

[@FJ6855]

Song of the year!! Being able to play this song on drums, especially the last minute and a half, looks like it's the greatest feeling ever! Absolutely beautiful ❤

[@GregBatte]

I love the sound of the toms, so natural and not over-processed. Great sound all around

[@declanwhite]

thanks 😎

[@GrooveJuggernaut]

This is tight af

[@TopB79]

That was just great! I love the energy and creativity in your playing!

[@BrianKrahe]

Another one!?!? Lets gooooo 🔥🙌🔥

[@billywilliams2438]

Looooove your drumming man. I listen to a LOT of music and coma has taken the top spot for song of the year for me. I didn't think anyone would beat Periphery- wildfire or currents -living in tragedy.

[@JohnnySideburnsX]

Good gawrsh! What an amazing drummer!

[@97Mizzo]

This is so frickin cool!

[@Erix77]

Awesome playing👊👊👊 and the kit sounds beautiful!

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Nice. Sweet setup, too. As much as you incorporate toms ( which is a good thing ), extending the tonal range with a few more drums would make it even more interesting.

[@Wolfhammered]

Extreme concentration.

[@Bellibutton]

What an enjoyable watch!

[@BrianBadBass]

Beautiful playing and cinematography!

[@davidcohen_]

Solid drummer, smooth play and the sound of it is perfect for me. Just heard about this band a few weeks ago, and it was an instant match, you guys do and amazing job. Keep it on!

[@kekotorres3700]

Solid? That’s not the adjective I’d use to describe James’ unreal drumming talent!

[@hoppe111]

Super!!! 👍

[@melomandrumspassion3959]

had a good moment listening to your work. very clean job. lot of creativity in my opinion. Thank you.

[@richardhague552]

This is just beautiful. His articulations with the song are just perfect. James, as a drummer, thank you for giving me something to always look up to and to the rest of Aviations, just fuckin sick...

[@dotRarufu]

nice, good sounding drums

[@eduardlevitsky]

Yup, still song of the generation.

[@O0O0OO0OO0OOO0]

Very nice! Cat socks are a bonus.

[@LessOfMyselfToKill_187]

I love me a drummer who actually hits their drums and can be technical at the same time! Too many drummers trigger their whole kit so they get the same sound and no acoustics. Who ever miced this great job! Im all about acoustics and the the sound of the drums. Else we're just getting the same plug ins that every modern metal drummer uses. Im a huge tom fill kind of drummer a lot of drummers in metal use the same fast fills this dude is killing it with the power and cymbal to tom acents! Chef's kiss! Just found another amazing drummer i can relate to! 10/10 🤘🤘🤘

[@Klimme]

Aviations is easily my most listened band this year! You are all doing a really great job! Keep it up!

[@LordAlwyn]

So good

[@jaxnaturals]

Love it!

[@sharchik916]

Also 8:11

[@MortenEgtvedt]

Wow. The skills of these guys...

[@HydraSperati]

Those toms sound incredible

[@UnderGunnedProductions]

EPIC James!!

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

Amazing drumming.

Nice one

[@matka5130]

Great feel & sound! Subbed

[@baratox1]

blowing minds 🤯🔥🇧🇷

[@jaydenjbryant8665]

🔥🔥🔥

[@CoreyParkison]

This song should be called "Stankface Engage"

[@kayhalbert7567]

When will you release instrumental version of this album??????

[@justinsheetz2796]

What mics were used on the kit? Specifically toms and the cymbal mics. Fantastic drum sound and performance!

[@rikmartinez8316]

Oh man, no windmills?!??!! Still incredible, though...

[@Need4Needle]

Did you even apologize to that poor drumset?

[@sharchik916]

🤣 i love this

[@peperonikiller]

It's gotta be used to it by now right?

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

I think the drumset is into it.
