CAG Selling the Drama

[@jamesnichols7693]

This is awesome! Like a time capsule but also timeless as this whole album was up there with any of the greats. Severely underrated and yet here we are 30 something years later and these songs are as fresh as 1994 all over again. Thank you for this!

[@chadgraceyLIVE]

Thank you for watching!

[@matthewramey5677]

Thank you so much for the decades of music. It means so much to us

[@chadgraceyLIVE]

You are very welcome. Glad I could be some part of it and thank you for listening@

[@chrismuc4023]

I love your drumming since Throwing Copper! 👍 Thanks for making it easier to play your great songs!❤

[@chadgraceyLIVE]

You are exactly their reason I am making these vids! Thank you for watching!

[@stephennagy6675]

Thank you Chad for setting up this page and to see your drum parts for these amazing songs, plus thank you for you being a great drummer.

[@alex1520]

wow..... I am speechless! I recently rekindled my interest in playing the drums again after an absence for decades, starting out again - went and got myself a nice Tama kit. I've always loved the throwing copper album, especially the drumming. I originally came onto KZbin hoping to hear some of the songs again to try and get a feel for them - Never in a million years would I have expected to find this channel and Chad the man himself playing and sharing this with us lucky people. I am speechless but smiling from ear to ear :) thank you so much for sharing your work with the world Chad!!!

[@chadgraceyLIVE]

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the props and as I have said before, I am doing these vids for people like you. Thanks again and enjoy those new Tamas!!

I'm 62 and six months into learning. I've always wanted to, so I'm trying to get in 30 minutes a day. I watched your video about five times and think I understand what I'm seeing but feeling it and doing it are very different. Definite progress but I'm seeing a limitation by my age and thinking I might be able to feel it and do it together:)

[@chadgraceyLIVE]

Hi there. That really cool. Patience and little breakthroughs important here. I am self taught as well. You have a distinct advantage as you get to watch these videos....I had nothing like this when I was learning!! Please enjoy and thank you for watching!

[@grothict]

You are the freaking best brother! Kick ass 🤘🏼

[@mynickisrip]

Hi Chad! We miss you in Italy guys. You are the reason I play drums

[@chadgraceyLIVE]

Hi there. Well I miss being in Italy. We just never did much there. That is so cool. Im glad I am an influence for you! So cool!! Grazie! 😁

[@mynickisrip]

I'm very happy that you answered me, it's an honor for me. I have your entire discography and The Gracious Few album... When is a new Live album? I've been waiting for this for years ^_^@@chadgraceyLIVE

[@kevinraythorn2718]

Such a powerful song with even more powerful drums...you are an absolute treat to watch Chad... great drumming, these songs take me back in time,thank you. 🇮🇪 ☘️.

I still can't believe we are "graced" by this access to your drumming man! Thank you!!! Audio and Visual is on point!!! What camera is that? WOW!

This makes me happy that you are so stoked! Exactly why I am doing this! Spread the word!

Thank you!

[@pwoods80]

This is freakin awesome. Does anyone know what snare he's using in this? Sounds great. It's not the Pearl piccolo I don't think

[@chadgraceyLIVE]

Hi. Yes I know what snare I am using....😁 That snare is 5X14 titanium DW snare. I also now have a 4X14 Brass DW snare that I have used in couple. I have not used the Pearl Free Floating piccolos for some time. Thank you for watching!

[@patrickhinkle2992]

groovy man!!

Thank you!

These are great. Thanks for sharing. Would love to see Negation and Heaven Wore a Shirt.

[@chadgraceyLIVE]

Great suggestion. Man I have not played those songs since.....91/92ish. haha

[@bonzo2842]

@@chadgraceyLIVE I love those tunes. I guess those didn’t make the later set lists? By the way, I always loved your drumming and how you and Patrick were always so locked in. Great stuff!

[@jcwaldinger3]

My favorite LIVE song ❤

[@chadgraceyLIVE]

It’s a classic now. 😁

[@angelapowers115]

I love Live especially with Chad Gracy

[@chadgraceyLIVE]

Thank you!!

[@andreoliveira6476]

Grande baterista! Viva a banda LIVE!

[@kdogg6781]

Thanks, Chad!... this song is the song when i first heard it on the radio i was like.. "what... is... that??" it was mixed in w/ the pearl jam, the stp, alice n chains, etc... but, it was different. it was cleaner.. it was crisper. and, the drums seemed to drive the song, which i loved.. a credit to you. at the time i was like "whoever this is.. this is the sound i like". question: throughout live's performances, you would come in on this song at different times. sometimes in the first verse (like the studio version).. and sometimes after the pre-chorus.. i just wondered who made that call and which did you prefer? met you in greenville sc at a small club that's no longer there (the handle bar) when you played w/ the gracious few. nice getting to meet my fav drummer.

[@chadgraceyLIVE]

Very cool on meeting in Greenville. Sometimes I would come up with starting at a different time then how it was recorded or someone else would suggest it. I really appreciate you notes bud!! Thank you!

[@davidshaw8826]

Love this Chad, great to see this channel....I saw you guys in the early Throwing Copper days, still have my ticket stub somewhere from the Highbury Garage , London, UK feb 1995, I think, tiny little place, but you guys were awesome!!!

[@chadgraceyLIVE]

Thank you for watching and for listening all these years!!

[@jamesbuckley9108]

Your use of slashes was always very tasteful and perfect for the song.

[@JorshWarshington1]

So good

[@patrickhinkle2992]

I have to ask, what's with the angle on the snare drum. I get better slaps when its flat. I'm just curious what the benefit of the angled snare is?

[@chadgraceyLIVE]

Hi. There is no specific benefit...it's just how I evolved playing. I guess the angled snare works best for my body mechanics.

[@patrickhinkle2992]

@@chadgraceyLIVE Nice man!! for some reason a flat snare is best for me. but i have seen great drummers doing it at an angle. very much a preference thing!!

[@sarahdavis5430]

I may or may not be over analyzing this in the near future to learn to play it myself. I learned many guitar parts from stopping and rewinding over and over again on a vhs tape I have from Live Unplugged. Pretty sure that tape is totally warped and worn out now.

[@chadgraceyLIVE]

Analyze away! 😁

[@scottmartinetti4875]

I only recently realized it's a large Tom and bass drum alternating rhythm in that build section

[@kenpollock1486]

Live is not the same without you.

[@derekwood6705]

I have a question. Have you thought about maybe joining another Band

[@scottmartinetti4875]

Need that brass piccolo

[@chadgraceyLIVE]

I just got a brass 4" snare from DW that I used in some other vids on here. This snare is 5.5 titanium snare.

[@scottmartinetti4875]

@@chadgraceyLIVE titanium, wow. Yeah i heard the brass snare on your other videos. Love that brass sound.. is titanium not as ringy? It almost sounded like the aluminum Ludwig i had.

[@chadgraceyLIVE]

@@scottmartinetti4875 Titanium is a weird metal becuase it's super strong but also brittle. So I think that give is a little less ring but still has crack.
