Years and years ago i saw this guy at as220. I was in the front row about 7 feet away from the speakers. The sound and feeling was so intense i literally ran to the bathroom and threw up. Iv been to a ton of shows and playrd in multiple bands and this was the only time that has ever happened to me. The dude stood up after the set and it literally looked like he had jumped in a swimming pool with his clothes on. I shook his hand and told him what had happened and he had this look on his face that was halfway between horrified and acomplished. I will never forget that show.

[@xXDJLEE02Xx]

@@urmumsbaps I dunno man, everything he's doing is unique to him, and he's a beast drummer. But hunching over the kit is usually part of poor technique, and using alot of French grip can strain yo wrists. He also looks fluid but stiff at the same time though. All of this is probably from being really hard hitting though, which is badass. (Brian only has a slight hunch though, and french grip does make fast notes alot easier.) Not an expert though just a self tought drummer. I don't have that great of technique anyways.
