[@LaceChaser]

The thing about double bass pedals is that once you’ve conquered the hi-hat, you just need to tweak your left foot slightly to move like your right foot. The muscle is already there.

[@DeclannShieldsFilms]

When they played this at the Chunky Shrapnel screening the entire audience went absolutely mental at the announcement of CAVS new album, standing ovation and thunderous applause. it was pretty incredible, and so well deserved. I spoke to him about it afterward and he said it was pretty overwhelming, but man that had to feel pretty great

[@TWDrumCorps]

It’s every drummer’s dream to have a video of them shot like this. Congrats on living the dream and amazing job sir Cavs

[@BenKingOfMonkeys]

To me, Cavs started as the weakest member of the band in terms of outward musical ability (not that the band prides themselves as elite musicians or anything). The 2 drummer train schtick was amazing and got people talking about the band but it was a sign that the rhythm section needed more support. Overtime Cavs has been the reflection of the bands growth and change, as the band grew in sounds and ideas, so has Cavs talent been nurtured and he has grown through (I believe) continuous care, discipline and training. He is now indispensable to the Gizz sound and vibe.. I remember him saying he couldn't double pedal bass like motorhead in an interview, and now look at them playing thrash w/ 2xpedal, such an inspiration! To me, seeing that journey has made Cavs the heart of the band. The band gave him the space to grow and, as he grows the band grows. Its like the band had a child and we witnessed its growth. Its hard to define what I am trying to say but look at his curls they do wonders for me!

[@sebastianlenehan2417]

Well said, and let's be honest, the heart of any band is the drummer, they just normally don't get appreciated. Great to see he is. He's one of my biggest influences for sure!

[@rliberati750]

Frankly disagree, having two drummers is SIGNIFICANTLY harder than having one. I would consider it a testament of a strong rhythm section.

[@BenKingOfMonkeys]

Hey @@rliberati750 you are welcome to your own opinion :)

Imagine him playing this live at a KGATLW concert, or even alone

[@pasli4268]

He played a solo similar to this one with eric at one concert. It's not the same but at the end you can notice similar arragements to this drum solo. It's realle close kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqasdIuDqbSsitE

[@tezzie_]

@@pasli4268 yo i was there pog. woulda love to have seen cavs go full ham but having eric and stuff may have held him back a little. i would have said time was a constraint, but considering they pushed their time to the very limit that night (12am curfew, they very nearly hit it lol), id say that didnt matter too much aha

[@big_ol_ball838]

he actually does solos like this when they play KGLW live

Damn 😤 Gizz have arguably one of the most talented drummers in the world. And Walky jake also.

[@mattbrajkovic249]

They screened this ahead of the chunky shrapnel screening in Melbourne and Jesus Christ seeing this shit on the big screen was breathtaking!

[@5sevenPictures]

Cavs literally deserves to be remembered as one of the best drummers of all time. Just an everlasting force that drives the whole band into a neverending abyss of music and creation. I'm so glad to be able to experience such phenomenal musicianship inside one band. Cheers Michael!!

When Cavs hits the drums, I say "yes."

Holy shit, that double kick drum technique over that long a time is seriously impressive. I watched the whole thing with a smile. Also, congrats on the upcoming baby dude! Everyone in this comments section is hoping everything goes well.

Honestly, it's more brute force than technique. Doesn't make it less impressive tho

[@DANSABEATS]

Sounds very Ginger Baker esque… 👌

[@MrE1981]

You guys obviously have a very limited awareness of the drumming scene. It's ok to like a drummer from your favourite band. But if you're impressed by 16th notes on the bass drum, then you've demonstrated your ignorance of drumming as a whole.
