Brann Dailor At: Guitar Center

[@patrickallen8787]

Brann Dailor. One of the best damn drummers out there. Period. This guy is a fuckin BEAST behind that kit!

[@najtrows]

He's just one of those great fucking drummers everyone will remember in 50 years

[@guitarcenter]

Mastodon's drummer, Brann Dailor, sat down with us to talk about his partnership with Tama and why he doesn’t play a 15-piece drum set.

[@rhinojimeneziii2750]

Hell of a drummer and band one of my faves

[@ledzeppelinfan12344]

2% milk?

[@broncoxy]

not only could (and have) I listen to hours of him playing the drums, I could also just listen to him talking all the time; it seems he always has something comforting and nice to say or something funny, just an overall great guy

[@FoolForRespect]

"It will come together." The most comforting thing i've heard in months about making music.

[@drummerbraves]

Brann is the man. Drummer, singer, songwriter. The whole package.

[@LinkMcStink]

He's the drummer you bring up when a jazz fan says heavy metal drummers have no rhythm.

[@TheBandFake]

Then if they say he's just playing fast you show them Thomas Haake. Then if they say he's just playing random rhythms you grab the nearest drumstick or other blunt weapon.

[@jmas9828]

+Bob Jones hahaha fuck yea

[@nellsonstout7001]

junkmail Gar set the standard for metal drummers

[@jonahmartinez4298]

No doubt. Even though Dave Lombardo was already around, Gar had way more finesse and groove.

[@nellsonstout7001]

Jonah Martinez there's a whole different level for people like Gar and Brann

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

"He can flickety flam dem druhmz..."

[@kerandurrant6043]

HA!!! Brent Hinds is awesome. :)

[@fahq7238]

Oh my god you got the voice of fergie mixed with Jesus. I can't sing and play drums Brent. Well you gotta try can't never could know what I'm saying ?

[@JustinDiazJokes]

i saw him once at namm just standing around not doing anything. i knew who he was but i didnt go talk to him. i still regret it to this day

[@peaner083]

Yeah fuck me too,i seen him at perth airport (australia) he was with some mates or roadies.Seen Mastodon at a festival the day before,i kinda chickened out haha

[@nellsonstout7001]

peaner083 I nearly chickened out on my chance to meet Frank Mullen of Suffocation. Thankfully I found the gut five seconds later

[@cosmicbilly]

Luis Valdivia Lol I had no choice to meet Brann... I was tailgating with some buddies before a Mastodon and Gojira show in Seattle, Just grillin food in the parking lot, and out of nowhere fucking Brann AND Mario from Gojira, walk out of the side doors where they were loading gear into the venue, and walked up to me and my buddies grilling bratwurst, and brann asks "what's cookin good lookin" and my friend who was grilling offered him a brat and a beer and Brann being the nice guy he is ,accepted haha Mario was kinda shy and didn't want one because he "didn't want to take all our food" lol, but I never would have imagined I would get to eat brats with Brann and Mario... two of the most badass drummers in metal... That was 4 years ago, and I still have butterflies in my stomach lol

[@voteZDLR]

Brann Dailor has to be one of the nicest people in music.

[@cosmic_JAV]

Yeah, I met my father once, bummed $3.75 from me

[@gobstompper13]

Not only is his drumming top tier but his approach and outlook to drumming is commendable. Has been in my top 5 faves for a long while.

[@guitarcenter]

"...and they make incredible drums." Mastodon's, Brann Dailor talks with us about his relationship with Tama and how cool it is to be involved with shaping music.

[@shanestoehr]

Nice shirt Brann.

[@nellsonstout7001]

Guitar Center do you close your stores down when these interviews are filmed?

[@guitarcenter]

Mastodon's drummer, Brann Dailor, sat down with us to talk about his partnership with tama and why he doesn’t play a 15 piece drums set. bit.ly/1og7CJ4

[@TheLinkIsLost]

Had this dude sign my License twice! Met him three times. Badass drummer, man!

[@guitarcenter]

Interview - Mastodon drummer Brann Dailor sat down with us to talk about his partnership with Tama and the process of making music.

[@guitarcenter]

#happybirthday Brann Dailor of Mastodon! #tbt to July last year when he joined us at Guitar Center Hollywood to talk about his musical beginnings:

[@taytymrayne]

That’s awesome to have that type of supposed through the years to get going. It’s beautiful to hear that and see the results of support behind you for you dreams

[@GregerHagstrom]

I can't think of anyone more humble than Brann. Thanx for being man!

[@guitarcenter]

Interview - Mastodon drummer Brann Dailor sat down with us to talk about his partnership with Tama and why he doesn’t play a 15-piece drums set.

[@ssds1982]

in mastodon, he played the drums and also singing. talented man.

[@pheffrey9446]

*plays

[@Mile-long-list]

He is not dead

[@lukasbeter6156]

I relate to Brann in a sense that I just sat behind a kit one day and started jamming out. Now, I feel I have come a long way in shaping music and playing in ways I never thought would be possible. Brann is an inspiration to me and is a prime example as to why everyone should be involved in music.

[@mafistowaltz4857]

I use to listen to REMISSION over and over this kat is Unreal on the drums!!

[@jeffnickel4648]

Great drummer. Awesome band

[@mole62ssf]

Brann's drumming amazes me. Some of Mastodon's tracks include beats that sound superhuman.

[@Scarecrow545]

I wish they'd just show them asking the damned questions, so we know what precisely he is answering. We all know he isn't just talking, but they try to make it look that way.

[@roberthunter2263]

Amazing well rounded drummer. One of the best!..

[@patrickolivier1]

First time I saw Masto live, I didn’t know who they were before. I remember, first thing I saw when we were waiting for them to come on stage was how small his kit seemed up there. Then they started playing and it was insane lol. Was in 2008 I believe, Mayhem Fest with Dragon Force, Disturbed and Slipknot on main stage.

[@anthonyhansen7823]

Badass! My 1st insrument was the drums. I play guitar (since i was 10) but i loooove the drums. I met Brann once. Cool as hell man. As a Buddy Rich fan since i was a pup this dude ROCKS!!

[@Williamstanway]

bran is a cool guy he is really possitive, the whole of mastodon are funny blokes, good drummer also.

[@Yvo19]

What's with all the shots of his nuts?

[@brandonh.912]

Yvo19 Because if you have balls that big, you might as well make them a majority focal point.

[@2morrowillcome]

I was thinking the exact same thing about the excessive crotch shots. Now having read this reply; I'm actually kind of upset at how acceptable of an answer it is...

[@rockopruden1120]

Yvo19 lol camera man Gay lol

[@voteZDLR]

I guess it's because that's where the snare is? Either that or it's just because his balls are enormous and thus deserve to be on full display wherever possible

[@fiazfarrelly3280]

LEGEND.

[@boneholster7096]

GREAT drummer and musician!

[@josemariajr7226]

He's a very unique metal drummer. Listening to his work (Mastodon). All those ghost notes work, the very first thing that caught my attention. Very cool. I like this guy.

[@Craig332]

really stands out on Hearts Alive. He's incredible on that track

[@johnjamesmclaughlin]

You can see he's a very real person I respect that I love old mastodon

[@davis311c]

Great listening to him talk ! Haha he's a friggin goof ball. Met him and got his autograph in Columbus. He was super cool

[@d.leon.pedro.26]

Ele tem o espírito da forma de tocar bateria nos anos 70! From a Huge Fan of You Brann Dailor!

[@lilchung8158]

My favorite drummer in my favorite band

[@mimichan5864]

love him! very talented! 😍🤘

[@jaredklock8754]

Brann is so underrated as a drummer.

[@rubaidaallen2764]

Amazing drummer, Mr. Brann Dailor. My other faves Danny Carey and Tomas Haake.

[@ThrashRoC]

Iam REALLY into all the Great BIG Classic Bands , like Led Zep , Ac Dc , Deep Purple (MarkIV with Blackmore ,,of course) Pink Floyd (which i seen 3 Times in my Life) Van Halen , Metallica , etc. And >>>>MASTODON

[@mafistowaltz4857]

Great guy AWESOME BAND

[@Jakeman90210]

greatest drummer in modern music

[@xXKingReptarXx]

He can flickety flam those drums better than anyone I’ve seen

[@drummerbraves]

At 5:50, the first time I've seen Brann's hi-hats open. Are there any videos of Brann using the pedal to open and close the hi-hats while playing them in any of Mastodon's songs?

[@alisquare2272]

Come to Dubai again...please!

[@gregtheflyingwhale]

I wish I had grandparents with a drum set too

[@elpfanjahrling4668]

He's Sooo Cool !

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

A big hand for Tama for making Brann sound awesome

[@iWontPostAVideo]

shit. he's 40 yrs old. doesnt look like it at all

[@MerrickGuitar]

Brann Dailor is a beast

[@mattdee23]

His drumming was great on the TITD "In the Eyes of God" '99 LP

[@GR-jw3cq]

Chingón baterista y vocalista

[@DarioVarasG]

The Randy Rhoads drumkit is like a polka dot one, right?

[@rualcard]

But he recorded the new album with a DW kit :(

[@ChristopherRoss.]

Studio is always a different feel than jam spaces and touring. Studio you're looking less for functional and more for something emotive; something to get a specific state of mind across; a specific sound.

[@hugorezende199]

Yeah That sucks. They are endorsed.How the brand dont have a kit that fits well even in Studio?

[@coryclark9336]

How could you possibly "thumbs down" this video? weirdos.

[@jabin1134]

No Ghost Ride?

[@borgetti16]

gotta love Brann's sense of humor XD

[@andrewt248]

2%. My man.

[@zacharonicheeseakatheharry2507]

andrewt248 ahh green eyes

[@Fifiira]

Wonderful

[@davemontero2960]

He sounds like a nice person

[@bw6138]

Brann, if I ever have a kid one day. I am naming him after you.

[@voteZDLR]

Normally I think people who have shirts that show like wolves prowling or howling at the moon are perennially douchey but for whatever reason his shirt actually looks cool. I think it might be the like, moon thing in the background or like the "orb" or whatever it is, it almost makes it seem like it belongs on a Boston cover or something.

[@landshark1330]

i was there

[@stopspammingmesrsly]

He wondered up to the attic and started playing drums. Would this have happened if he had a phone as a kid?

[@dehasim]

Maybe, my nephew is 3 years old and loves phone, but always want to "play" the guitar

[@josiahvadeboncoeur3164]

Brann seems really nice

[@drakausdromgatti58]

Jeff Loomis is my fav guitarist (as a drummer)

[@aperry8810]

What's he doing at guitar centre

[@aic9235]

i was waiting for him to make a joke the whole time and i was pleasantly surprised at the end

[@landshark1330]

hear you bro

[@Humptyjackalope]

bahaha 7:38 this guy is hilarious

[@Theflowergeekcrafts]

Humpty Jackalope and he says it with a straight face 😐

[@FourRulesCharley]

Its funny cos in Once More 'Round The Sun Album He used A DW Collector Series Kit

[@chrislucky]

how do you know that bro?

[@wes1hoskins]

Christian Ramirez It's in the making of the album videos.

[@wes1hoskins]

He used Tama on The Hunter and it sounded great. I'm sure he used the DW because it was the studio kit and he didn't feel like taking his to Nashville to record. They both sound good so it doesn't really matter

[@BenjaminD.McMillan]

I thought I saw that too. Could be that he uses Tama for touring over seas.

[@CSCRECORDSBC]

Great drummer, great dude. I saw Mastodon many many times in their beginnings, opening for other bands, and boy did they rocked. Blew everyone they were supporting off the stage. I kinda lost track of what they were doing after crack the Skye as I didn't really cared bout that record, but I'm glad to see they only have gotten bigger. Perhaps it's time to revisit the material I am not familiar with.

[@Seltaeb]

Go listen to Emperor of Sand(the latest record), it really is a great album.

[@KlrRaptoR]

I dont play the drums but if I did id be Brann Dailor!

[@Questioneverythingx]

When your leg wants to be drumming.

[@metalhead9577]

1000 likes and 7 dislikes. This is when you say "Mastodon rules!!!"

[@claytonmartin3305]

Metal Head still

[@abusivesystems9844]

Randy Rhoads tribute kit is the SHIT!

[@josiahvadeboncoeur3164]

what?

[@viktormichael821]

Montrose! Slade! Brannimal.

[@tifosi_loria7799]

Brann is the shit. So thankful to Metallica for bringing them to Costa Rica in their death magnetic tour

[@MizuSwano]

LOL I always thought this was Troy and the Bassist was Brann

[@TacoCrisma]

Check out his old tech death band called Lethargy

[@abigaillkruss8823]

Oh man, thanks for the info

[@Elayaass]

a little part of me dies every time I see a drummer playing wothout ear protection D:

[@flugplatz21]

A little part of them dies, too.

[@Username1237]

Akiles Baeza only wussies wear hearing protection lol

[@ernests212]

3:25 I love just how much TAMA is controlling him just because he's endorsed by them. No hate intended though.

[@smokelakes]

So if you love a company's products, you can't say so because that makes you a sell-out tool? Ho boy. Your logic...

[@Mydriatik1618]

No hate intended? What, exactly, is your point then? He gets endorsed by a company who has an excellent product that he's happy to use.

[@ernests212]

Ash Godson My point is that he needs to really emphasize that he uses the drums, than normally he would. In that moment he mentions TAMA like 8 times and in background you can often see the TAMA trademark logo

[@philanaemic]

I like Tama drums. I like Tama hardware. If they gave me an endorsement I'd sing their praises to high heaven to anyone that might give a shit to hear. There's a lot of companies making killer drum hardware out there and, let's face it, once we find something we like we tend to stick to it.

[@KenJones42017]

Uh, he picked Tama because he likes their stuff.

[@이하나-m2h]

My baby

[@GardenofEeyore]

Dig it:3

[@alberzombie]

Fucking drummer!!!!

[@shredneck2260]

“ You know what I mean “

[@nathanwalsh3028]

No your first instrument was lead singer in a Christian rock band. Your first gig was opening for the band holy Saint. Don't deny it because I workd for the band holy Saint and I remember you guys very well. This is Laura Bequtte's brother Nathan. Had to break your balls brother...Keep ripping :)

[@grandoleradio]

LOVED Holy Saint ! Still have that tape.

[@grandoleradio]

I think I was at that gig, was it at Bethel Church?

[@julianpeterson6464]

I can see it now: greatest drummer of our era and he asks for some sticks. the guy behind the counter STILL scoffs and rolls his eyes annoyed.

[@coledunnachie555]

1:35 how people describe drums after I play😂

[@matthewbailey4408]

Really GC, you couldn't go 10 seconds into this video without displaying GC employee talent?? Nice snare drum mic'ing there boys!

[@TheMetallicaGods]

4:21 haha

[@landshark1330]

if you only new fams every thing

[@MikeySkiy]

Whole milk for me, but I get where you're coming from...

[@Nomad-yn7pv]

That 2% tho...

[@emiliocontreras2841]

downsizing to a six piece?!?!?!?!? i wonder what it was before

[@DavidOakesMusic]

+Conan Troutman he said it was 10.

[@DavidOakesMusic]

+David Oakes Not in this video - in previous interviews.

[@saftovooey4569]

I've never heard anyone pronounce "Tama" like that.

[@kurlepoop9503]

I love how Brann abuses his snare drum so hardly

[@prettynoose8497]

Looks like Josh Homme....only cooler, funnier, and more talented

[@jonathanfeliciotto9720]

that poor fuckin snare! hes punishing that kit man, what an animal player
