Blake Richardson - Swim to the Moon 2010

[@XGALAXYDRIFT3RX]

What a god damn legend.

[@bakedandsteaked]

Nice custom pfp

I just told a guitar player friend that I'd he learned telos (I went relatively easy on him as he hasn't gotten any better in 30 years) that I'd buy him a new amp. He always wants to know how to get better and I tell him how and therefore telos. Haha

[@ZackAttack1798]

I’ve never clicked on anything so quickly. This was the song that made me fall in love with BTBAM and to see it played is something I’ve been waiting for forever. Rock on bro. 🤘

[@griffinzaldatte5469]

THEY'RE ON TOUR WITH NO OPENER PLAYING THIS WHOLE GOD DAMN ALBUM!!! YOU GOTTA GO!!! :D

[@ZackAttack1798]

Griffin Zaldatte oh trust me bro! Bought my tickets the second they announced this tour!!

Blake is goddamn super hero. Let’s face it. Creativity, precision, stamina, speed, and sound. Blake you’re a master of your craft and a massive influence on all drummers. Thanks for everything.

[@jstro-hobbytech]

I've been a fan since the day I first heard their name almost 2 decades ago. Even then I felt late to the party.

[@jstro-hobbytech]

You and Sean Reinhardt are the most versatile incredible drummers of our generation being we're about the same age. I swore an oath to see you guys live before I die. You guys never come closer than a 1700km drive away here in canada haha. Tell the boys I think you all are my favorite band ever. Re-release Future Sequence on vinyl!!!!!

[@jordanpisacreta8655]

This very moment is the first time in my life that I've felt pure joy

[@jaydenjbryant8665]

[@matthewnorthcott8416]

bro that snare sounds PHAT

[@jakeinator21]

Absolutely incredible.

[@LudwigPig]

That snare sounds soooo good.

[@addisonhennessy7657]

I like that the description has a "Show More" button. and when you click it all that loads further is "Enjoy". Intentional or not, I liked that...

[@lukewilson7769]

Your seamless switching between left and right leads never gets any less impressive to watch. Cheers for being such a huge influence! and a general maddawg

[@bakedandsteaked]

He's the only drummer I've seen do this so often.

[@lazerhawks]

@@bakedandsteaked you should check out Travis Orbin if you want more of this.

[@Mr_Riffman08]

Now this band is all about quality heavy metal music🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Penz0id]

Really hoping we get a live dvd of the Evening With tour!

[@austinstowe1718]

Yes!!! Me personally I world love an evening with vinyl, first disc would be A/B their 20 year set, Second Disc C/D Great Misdirect Live then maybe a 7 in of Q&A questions on vinyl. That's the one I'd wanna grab

The drumming is always mind-blowing. Looking forward to seeing you in SLC soon!

[@alexandermglass]

In a league of his own in this style. Love watching him play!

[@ddaniell7526]

I've never seen any KZbin videos without any dislikes! Awesome!

[@couriersix2445]

This guy is a machine, I'm always impressed with his consistency. Even more impressed with how he writes this stuff

[@sergedecompet2080]

Damn... After all these years watching you play drums, you still manage to blow my mind into the cosmos. Blake, you're a monster.

[@sharlatonheston3347]

i had to start playing the drums a couple mins into it, too inspirational!

[@jwhitely7]

I caught this show in Cleveland. Swim to the moon is my favorite and it was the last song of the night. We had to crowd surf the vocalist back because he was doing the lights as well

[@UndoingRuin08]

It's always surprising to see nobody dislike a video, but this video warrants no dislikes for sure

[@Koffling]

I am in awe, Blake, Thank you for letting us study your brilliantly creative and original take on drumming. Oh, and thanks for the HD version of Hypersleep Dialogues, my absolute favorite drum vid on the Tube. *Cheers!*

[@Sam-cv6un]

absolutely awesome, you're one of my drum heroes

[@alen_ELMLB]

I feel so damn lucky that all of you are coming up to Argentina!!

[@Machinae_overture]

god damn man, blake's always been so fucking clean. such an impressive drummer

[@AnthonyMeyer]

I'm a big fan of middle school hair BTBAM. I just listened to like 4 btbam albums today while writing a paper. It was a good time.

[@dmac187]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!

[@WiredDrummer]

Can't wait to see you live again.. what a beast! Must be from all the steaky!

[@AdHoyos]

Thank you, kind sir! I enjoyed... every goddamn second 🤘🏻

[@sicboi80]

So sick!!! Glad I got to see this live back then. I'll be there for the "An Evening With.." tour to hear it again!

[@DragonFlopp]

If this was the Detroit show, then I'm pretty sure I was there! I was right in front of Dustie. Funny though, I don't remember you guys playing the whole song that night. But maybe you did. Haha. All the same, looking forward to seeing this song in full again in Detroit!

[@hermesbandofficial8551]

Its gonna be amazing

[@chrisscheffel6604]

Can't wait to finally see this epic live, you guys can come to Chicago anytime \m/

[@apeman939]

Blake, you’re a fucking machine. Incredible musician. Keep killing it my dude

[@TheHollowmandclxvi]

Always amazing and why you are one of my favorite drummers!!! Can't wait for the Detroit show for the full album!🤘🤤

[@dogbite7185]

[@Dahn.Baern.]

When I was 18 this song fucked me up. Still one of the best prog metal songs ever made. Blake is a drum god.

[@joelmartin3213]

Thanks blake Been waiting for this

[@ddrum1090]

Hear me out: Literally just got into BTBAM again with a re-listen of the great misdirect... been obsessing over swim to the moon for the past 2 days, that song specifically too. Then you upload a vid of this song from a show I just watched on yt elsewhere? Weird, and amazing

[@tomyhamel9560]

Im obssesed by this song since 2010.

[@mucctulio]

sorry guys, I had to click on "like"... and my "thumbs up" was the 667th =/

[@LudwigPig]

The great misdirect tour. I went to House of Blues of New Orleans to see you guys open for In Flames. After your performance I left. Love you guys.

[@KadeKalka]

This is fucking amazing, so inspiring!!

[@ayewhaddupdoe]

This is Grand Rapids. I know this cause I can see my drunk ass air-drumming up front lol

[@NightSilencer]

Oh and BTW, this is my favorite BTBAM song and I’ve been an avid fan since 2004-2005.

Look how young u were. (Ya, goin by length of the locks, like counting rings on a tree stump.) Anyways, my fave song from u dudes. Colors II is meandering towards masterpiece territory. U guys will do no wrong...

[@sneakerjoe23]

How many people security take out got damn lmao

[@McWillis]

Blake. Idk how much I have to give props to you. Watching you makes me wanna pick up drumming again after 12~ odd years. 27 now. Spent 5 years hard at 8~ into dabbling with Megadeth all the way to Finntoll then the drum set disappeared for me. I'm gonna spend my extra time/money getting back to it. Your style and BTBAM's blast beets transition into calm melody. The layering of the music can be focused on individually and played off of. One of the main point of views I go for. Improvise and overachieve. Play/work with whatever to make a breathtaking experience.

[@grizzlywhisker]

Oh shit I was actually at this show. Wasn't this at The Majestic?

[@BaritonePapi]

You're a fucking machine
