[@143purple]

Congratulations on almost 5years of being sober🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@mbrandt610]

@modsun you're one hell of a drummer, singer, writer & just a fantastic human! Can't wait to see you in Columbus & Cleveland this fall! ❤

[@ts_of_defunct]

I didn't even realize that was Mod Sun at first, he looks so different every time I see him I swear.

[@mikekristin7201]

I kept getting mad at the title because I was like " who is in suns house drumming!?" Dude is a shape shifter. Talented as can be but a shape shifter

[@AshiwiZuni]

Trying to stay less identifiable to police with all the sexual assault and grooming he does

[@_misty.eyed.]

Wtf are you even talking about​@@AshiwiZuni

[@davetay44]

"might not be technical, but you can tell I'm having a good time" Hell yeah, words I can relate to!

[@mooshafesterbone1645]

The first time I ever saw him in an interview I recall just feeling like something was off. Something about him felt like the positivity was an act or something. I cant explain it. Now that he is sober that kind of went away for me. I am sure he was a good person before as well but now I sense that he is a legitimately joyful guy and really is as positive as he seems about music. That change made me actually start to enjoy his music. It is almost like the drugs or alcohol or whatever isn't fogging up who he really is. Getting sober made him easier to connect with so I hope he keeps on that path. Im super happy for the guy.

[@Sadlander2]

I once had a video in my feed about a guy who talked about becoming a junkie and getting sober for 1 hour and I watched every second of it. Then I looked him up and found his music. At some point, he became known as Avril Lavigne's boyfriend and it seemed like he took this relationship very seriously but they broke up after a while and she immediately found someone else. Even though I don't know the guy, I was worried that he would relapse... Glad he didn't !

[@tom220love]

i Fucking loved this! i feel like not many people know hes infact a drummer let alone drummed for scary kids scaring kids! thats where i first found him without realising i did! brilliant video!!!

[@Terron35]

Saw him with SKSK on their farewell tour back in '09. Dude had so much energy and looked like he was having a blast playing

[@SquidsRightInYaAnime]

Just the fact I got to see him in Four Letter Lie back in the good ole mn local days to this is just insane to me, glad he never gave up!

[@joshuaschmidinger3993]

"The night is for poet's and madmen" I love the way he talks about music and the flow...this is the right creative approach in my eyes 😎👌👏 I actually love the grooves on this album and downloaded it the first time I heard it even though it was not technically "my style" but the groove sang to me and I find we like a lot of the same things, drummers, bands and grooves. I love his free spirit and openness 👏 also love that drum kit sound, I used to draw all over everything and it would piss my bosses off over the years(one was nice and said you are talented but save it for work haha)so I dig the drums and art. Thanks for this Brandon and drumeo, this was a great episode. I love most of what you guys do 👏

[@BrosephJest]

idk how drumeo knows all my favorite artists but plz continue

[@AndyVilters]

MOD is a high-class freaking legend

[@lau_franxxe]

Now we need him to do a "Hearing songs for the first time"

[@brett9168]

@MODSUN congratulations on 5 years sober ✌ your music and creations has kept me going through some very tough times. Thank you for all your music. Been rocking you since I'd buy myself and how to make a modsun. Super dope to see you drumming to shoot em down ✌ Be well Mod

[@higler.]

His drumming from when he was in "Four Letter Lie" is still so fucking good

[@jolymusique]

It's so cool to see someone play with his heart, thanks for this episode Drumeo. Also, we need that Aaron Gillespie episode!

[@thejournalsofawakening]

"Swing till the last second" Big Love Mod.

[@user-cr5mf3ie5b]

I used to be a MODSUN hater. I just didn’t get the whole Bella thing. This dude has totally won me over. Fun solid music. Total artist. Love the hustle. Do it brother.

[@gregwonhoff7161]

[@sarahmolnar8075]

[@KateKosmo]

I've been a fan of Mod for 20+ years. I found him online on some random streaming website that's now shut down & he used to go live every night just BSn around.

[@4StringGoddess]

LOVE MOD - talent flows through his veins! He puts his soul into everything he does, and it shows ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@szephyr]

He holds his sticks so far up god damn

[@riccocool]

First thing I noticed too

[@lukagrumelli6361]

Me too

[@pobsdad]

Looks really weird, but whatever works for him!

[@Accretion67]

He says he really likes Travis barker. Travis chokes up pretty far in his sticks too. Wonder if he does it to mimic Travis?

[@Steven-rh8iz]

That was a tremendous display of hard fought skill and a firm belief to do it your way no matter they love it or they don't thanks Modsun that was freakin awesome always believe in yourself thats the first person you have to impress.

[@KanimWhite84]

I have to admit, I’ve never heard of Mod Sun. After watching this video, I’m kinda interested. Not my kind of music, but I’m going to give it a listen. Better late than never. ✊🏽✌🏽

[@ChristiWorsham-fd1xu]

@modsun is such an amazing drummer!!Love seeing him doing what started his career. Great episode. It was great to learn about the break down of the songs. My all time favorite song is "Bones"!

[@AshiwiZuni]

He sucks. What are you talking about?

[@grennmanalieshi]

​@@AshiwiZuniHoly fuck why are you on this if you're negative as hell? Beat it!

[@ROKZLEON]

[@Dankerby]

Awesome episode - Modsun's music and vibe is epic - What a legend! Great to see Kyle involved too!

[@JaredMilligan]

Such a rad feature on Mod. Cool to see something outside of the usual content! Nice work Drumeo!

[@The_KlaVra]

I must say, I love Modsun and hope he is doing a lot better now, but I didnt love his last album and his last singles, but "Internet Killed The Rockstar" is a banger.

[@robertodeoliveira5735]

what a great energy, great dude

[@RoCkR109]

If this man doesn’t talk about his time in four letter lie as the drummer I’m gonna be disappointed tbh. Such a cool/interesting drum style, that band influenced me so much growing up.

[@higler.]

For real!

[@kelamram]

I love that he mentioned Hanson ❤

[@derrickm93]

NICKO MCBRAIN PLEAAAASE

[@robertcarpenterdrums]

bro left the tags on his kit 💀 love ya, mod

[@offseteraofficialband]

Hey, remember when Mod Sun used to be more of a hip hop artist? After he left Kids Scaring Kids, he shifted to this hippie brand rapper vibe that didn't quite take off. He had a small following, all about positivity, but then he kind of faded out for a bit. Then, he linked up with MGK and when MGK's pop punk mixed with hip hop started blowing up, Mod Sun jumped in with his own album, adding live drums and all. But let's be real, I don't think he's a serious drummer himself. Sure, he's drummed before, but places like Drumeo focus on technically accomplished drummers, and he seems to struggle with things most guys nail down. Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, but sometimes it feels like he's more into self-promotion than making music people care about. Just my two cents though, no big deal if you disagree!

[@grapediary]

You and Travis r my fav drummers❤

[@ericp.semisch1058]

paint job is killer!!!!!

[@patrickkavanaugh9372]

Hey!!! Congratulations Brother!! Love the artwork on the the DW’s & being 5 years sober is a major accomplishment keep it up!!!btw I love your drummer Kyle McGrail yo he Bad-Ass bro!!!

[@TylerOath]

YES! Aaron G shoutout!! I feel like Mod and I have the same big drum influences. Aaron and Travis all the way lol

[@i.will.pulverize]

Yo that mustache is tiiiiiiiiiight. He got that Chris Cornell stache

[@JesseMcLanahan]

This dude chokes way up on the sticks. Crazy.

[@jazzdbess8304]

A lot of energy,

[@grennmanalieshi]

Ya I'd be single time on that hihat! Crazy fast brother! 🤘👍

[@Timetofly8888]

When are we getting Lars Ulrich trying to figure out "Monkey Wrench" ? Id buy a subscription for that video.

[@DJT544]

Dude looks like the fusion between Chris Cornell and Richie Kotzen

[@angieculbreth79]

❤#modsun my hippie 😊

[@bonenyamom4977]

If Axe body spray were a person, it would be this dude.

[@messicunha7184]

Cadê a participação do Will Hunt do Evanescence? Porque tiraram?

[@javier321ewqasd]

Is that Kyle next to Brandon? broo

[@StrawberryLanes]

Mod… I apologize for falling off the band wagon. You are far more interesting than I expected. Bob dylan was ONE of the greatest lyricists of all time and ill die on that hill.

[@meganmariem]

Could he be any more perfect? Like honestly when do you get someone so kind hearted, pure, beyond talented, just so fucking genuine AND ALSO sexiest man alive. Like talk about a rarity 😅😍 @modsun

[@waaaaa-e2l]
