Blake Richardson - Hypersleep Drumming - 2011

[@metalbladerecords]

Subscribed! This dude sure can play!

[@luker.6967]

This EP is so underrated. Not that people don't like it, but I honestly think it's as good as P2.

[@thaesimir]

I agree. I always listen to them together. They're both phenomenal.

[@jessebowles5632]

This EP has a special place in my heart. Had got a hand on it when in jail, and when I got out there was drum cams. Great stuff

[@Minihuse]

I think it's miles better than p2. But hey!

[@BoogieWoogieCat]

I love it. Lunar Wilderness is one of my favorite songs by them.

[@facepeeler]

I saw them play part 2 i was hoping though that it’d be part1 and 2 still haven’t witnessed these songs live

[@theycallmeboyapollo]

23:57 one of the sickest BTBam riffs ever. just the way it built to it.

[@Drhoward2890]

I could watch this countless times and your drumming will always amaze me! Thanks for the years of inspiration. 🤘🤘

[@Madmonk7]

This should have 1B views baby

[@NoEasyFeet]

this ep seems like the hardest drum parts you've written. watching this is a masterclass

[@izzy32324]

Part one with part two is by far the most technical of his career I agree entirely.

[@Koffling]

Just pure goodness, man.

[@apachekid91]

I think so too. He’s just goin nuts this whole album.

[@teeple1877]

@@izzy32324 my two favorite BTBAM records!

[@fVNzO]

9:36 is still one of the nastiest fills I've ever heard and Specular Reflection is my favorite BTBAM song of all time. I still think hypersleep is the best piece you guys ever did even if it's just an EP.

[@Colebenson98]

Totally agree

[@apachekid91]

Yeah dude.

[@geoffharkins9336]

Without a doubt.

[@xavierbonilla1164]

Arguably, best btbam drum work!

[@EmreErcan-utopiano]

that snare sound is amazing. also between 12:14 and 12:54 is one of the perfect BTBAM rhythms of all time!

[@Deuterium52]

That ghost note section at 23:02 is literal perfection

[@theycallmeboyapollo]

definitely! and 11:30 I love those

[@tonyschue5665]

Still amazing 11 years later. Almost spiritual that this was translated in parts/motifs to parallax II. Blake you will continue to inspire for decades

[@bakedandsteaked]

What's your opinion on clairvoyant?

[@I3rianD]

AHHHAHAHAHAHA!! Watched till the end! That face KILLED me!!! That's the face you make when you flex your alien gifted powers for the world. We don't deserve you , Blake!

[@filthyangler3904]

My favorite drummer of all time

[@Childofbhaal]

He has chops but it’s not even about that with him. It’s his compositional skill. The fact that he can write and remember all of the drum parts just doesn’t make sense to me lol

[@Koffling]

This is the happiest I have been for a while.And I just spent two wonderful weeks in Thailand with my family!

[@prometheusfallen]

Some of my favorite sections of any BTBAM music are the sections at 12:51 and again at 15:07. Just so incredibly creatively heavy!

[@kylevining9070]

6:09 as well i love how when they go heavy, they go heavy

[@PezrulezHaakon]

This doesn't get boring no matter how many times I listen to it. So tasteful and innovative choises and a technique out of this world. I'm definately one of the drummers in this universe that never going to reach this level of drumming, no matter if I live to be 500 years old.

[@facepeeler]

I’ll never stop saying this ever your drumming in my opinion is the best Blake never get tired of watching you drum keep being the man long live beef!!!!!!!

[@CollyDoo]

I still come back to video year over year. What an absolute beast! This is how you play the 🥁 Was honored to meet you guys when you were on the Parallax 2 tour in Canada back in 2013

[@cbaum64]

Shout out to you and Jamie for giving us this just because! You guys are awesome!

[@metalmanny666]

Young Jamie?

[@SnuSnu91]

Only Blake can play a cowbell with his mind! Thank you so much for uploading this video again!

[@alen_ELMLB]

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ

[@user-wj8xy5qu4k]

Yea, I saw this and thought “ he’s not doing enough. He should be playing that cowbell too.”

[@alozuldo]

I've watched this video more than 20 times. Definitely Blake is my favorite drummer

[@Fentonyl]

Seems pretty accurate to the original, good job! Must've taken ages to learn it. Such a killer EP, especially for the drums. I always come back to it so thank you Blake x

[@joost2268]

I think I've watched these vids over 20 times, now it's back and I'm totally ready to do it all over again

[@TheSlipperyGekko]

I always forget how insane the drumming in on Hypersleep Dialogues! Hope you have a good time in Australia, sad you won't be in Perth. Get Paul and yourself some peanut slabs while you are here 🥜

[@antnyneveruploads]

This is legitimately one of my favorite drumming videos on KZbin. Thanks so much for uploading the original. I have to watch it all the way through every time, it's mesmerizing.

[@9Dill]

YES!!! Finally in HD!! Thanks, Blake, you are one of THE best :)

[@AdamShepard]

this is the best content you've ever created IMO, I've been watching this since it came out 80 years ago

[@claytonlh]

No dislikes? Wow, maybe there's hope for KZbin after all. Perfect video for it.

[@intraterrestrial5035]

I am gonna dislike it 👹

[@DRUMMINMOFO1]

Love his playing genius level to play that arrangement no sheet music!!

[@Colebenson98]

Seen this years ago. Honestly my favorite drumming video on KZbin

[@coryleman7438]

I just want to say when I first saw this video years ago, it sealed the deal for me to buy a B/B Starclassic.

[@GreyPlaysTunes]

By far some of the most impressive drumming I’ve heard.

[@davidalfaro237]

Used to spend hours watching this video just so I can learn how to play it! Thanks for uploading again 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@xbeast666]

David Alfaro how long U been playing???

[@davidalfaro237]

xbeast666 it’s been about 13 years man

[@xxraddrummerxx]

Finally. Wonder why this was on another channel for so many years

[@RhythMassacre]

because someone rips it from DVD

[@lucasbrucas9632]

@@RhythMassacre How are you doing my man? Health issues dealt with or still up in the air?

[@RhythMassacre]

@@lucasbrucas9632 i'm doing a lot better, thanks my dude! surgery went well! rn i'm working on a huge drop for channel in march + stuff what i owe to you and others so be ready for that Opeth chart :)

[@lucasbrucas9632]

@@RhythMassacre holy shit man, that's fucking amazing! I'm so happy to hear you're in better health. Did you end up getting enough donations to pay for the surgery? On that chart, I look forward to it but don't worry too much, health and recuperation comes first, of course.

[@Nattfodd88]

Lovely playing here.

[@DRUMMINMOFO1]

Love his playing!

[@andremaide8222]

Finally! Been waitin since the 480p versions leaked to KZbin. Thank You sir, for inspiring!

[@Mikhavoc]

my dude. watched the original like 100 times. finally in HD. thank u so much for this

[@jimmybarr1966]

Drums sound amazing

[@BTBAM819]

Man I love your drumming in TGM and P2 and those are my favorite albums. But P1 it's definitley your Masterpiece, your best work as a drummer in my opinión. Holy fuck and one of the most difficult to cover drumming I've ever heard.

[@michael_angelo]

I watched the Parallax drum series like a fiend since I can remember, so amazing.

[@Riffified]

FLAWLESS AND CLASSIC

[@jessebowles5632]

I feel like you were sensing that I have watched the original everyday for the past week haha. Thank for for this buddy. The new camera angles are very subtle but nerdy enough for me to be happy, you're awesome

[@doodlebroSH]

Thanks, Blake! Can't wait to see you touring soon!

[@mexidancer]

Thanks Blake I love you

[@bradydastrup1025]

I wish Tama still offered that finish on their drums. It’s amazing.

[@GiggityNinja]

Thanks for the official upload Blake! I've been watching this for years, glad to know I can finally give you the attention and views you deserve directly on your personal channel.

[@connorsol]

2:13 Wanting what they haaa-aaave, their perfect smiles, and heartless luuu-UUUUU-uuuuu-uuuu-uuuuusts! 🎶

[@adamstevermer3161]

Love this content. What a master, he makes it look so easy!

[@apachekid91]

6:10 is so disgusting. I couldn’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched this video. Blake is just the best 😂

[@jaketheblueshepherd]

I love the intensity of the china at 25:36.

[@ryancozzolino7832]

This is so satisfying

[@rumble131]

I would watch this vid in high school haha! Very nostalgic watching this back :)

[@Mushroom_River]

Good to have an official one to watch. Still my favorite material of yours

[@sega.milkis]

One of my all time favorite metal pieces and playthroughs is finally from the man himself!) My absolute favorite of all BTBAM. \m/

[@drumbum101988]

I love that you remixed this video!! I’ve studied and listened to the hell out of the original video play through. Now I have this beautiful ear blessing to listen too! Fuck yes my dude 🤘🏻😎. Love it brother! Dream set up for sure.

[@georgeparfitt1983]

Love watching this master so much .

[@LudwigPig]

See in a few months in Pensacola. This will be my 16th year as a loyal BTBAM fan and I will go to the grave as one (no question).

[@RobbieFrazer]

Nice... I remember buying this little DVD at one of the shows in Spokane, WA.

[@DRUMMINMOFO1]

Genius! With rhythm!

[@thaesimir]

Dude, I always love watching these videos of you just tearing it up. You're absolutely my favorite drummer of all time and I absolutely adore seeing you tear it up. Thank you for this

Thank you!

[@sicboi80]

I CONTORT LIKE THE WHEELS IN MY HEADDDDDDD

[@mellowtron214]

At a time when 95% of metal drummers are using extremely dark, washed out Meinl cymbals, it’s kinda staggering to hear this throw back to the bright toned HH/HHX Sabians. 2011-2020, tastes have grown much darker and less defined. Cymbal wise

[@j.d.7208]

Agreed the dark ,thin, tuned down, muffled kits are garbage

[@Frostcrag64]

Meinl makes really great bright cymbals too. My favorite are the byzance brilliant series. A good amount of death metal guys use them, myself included

[@j.d.7208]

@@Frostcrag64 right on Meinl is awesome for us metal heads 🤟

[@jorgelopez9620]

beaut beaut

[@CGRFilmsStudios]

Could you possibly release a video of just the top view from the DVD? That'd be really neat to watch all the way through

[@mgilroy726]

2:25 I like to play.

[@TakeFruits]

So wait, are you sure you didn't just grow out your hair and re-film this masterpiece for us?

[@Sawstinker]

This is so weird, I just randomly thought 'damn. I wanna see Blake smash out Lunar Wilderness'. And the guy reupped it 2 days ago? Are you illuminati inceptioning me Blake?

[@lucasbrucas9632]

woah, check the description and see the automatic copyright detection KZbin has and it looks like Parallax is misspelled and Parallex haha

Parallex xD
