Chason Westmoreland - Vitriol - The Rope Calls You Brother

[@Sickdrummermagazine]

One of the sickest players on the planet.

[@spenceredwinrobson]

Someone give this man a cymbal endorsement, he's fucking earned it 10 times over by now.

[@SuicidalGrind]

What you mean cymbals? Give him a whole signature kit god dammit!

[@iDrunkRS]

He's mentioned he doesn't want to be tied down to one brand, and I get that.

[@arsonne]

To be fair he's playing a Sonor SQ2 here. Like a a $8-10k kit

[@Leviplaysdrums]

The double snare unison blast is legendary and hilarious

[@Jeffmetal42]

I feel the same exact way. It's so ridiculously over the top but rules so hard. I say give the man one more, he obviously likes to stay busy. 😂🤘

[@TheFattenedSausage]

ive only ever heard this being done on a few arsis songs and always wanted to see someone actually do it. i am not disappointed, this kicks so much ass!

[@megleyd]

i didnt even catch this im dying

[@2011persol]

yeah it just makes me laugh out loud in total gratification and joy over this drummer's insane skills and persistence....

[@25stealthshooter]

I think the most Impressive thing about chason is that he does this for every Deathcore/deathmetal/techdeath band that needs him to. Dude has an endless supply of storage

[@marosticadrummer]

I follow where he goes! One of the best extreme metal drummers at time!!

[@camerondavis3247]

2:23 that chop blast or whatever you want to call it... haven't heard any cool blast/ chops like that in a while!! SICK

[@chrismontante7543]

Me too, only time I can think of a similar beat is Flo Mounier from Cryptopsy on their Once Was Not album

[@nickcollins9893]

@@chrismontante7543 Adeste Infidelis, fuck yeah, one of my favourites from that album

[@paranormaldrummer69]

Why chason doesn't have a cymbal endorsement is beyond me man.. he has definitely earned it..

[@Invontor]

Chason is absolutely nuts! and underrated

[@toKsyKmosh]

Seeing this switch blast beat technique… I guess this beast could be strong audition for new archspire drummer

[@andycinco3432]

Sincerely one of the best

[@onderkasikcilar6912]

Greetings from Budapest...You're such an advanced drummer...Respect,respect,respect...

[@KORNBG]

I am totally humbled by this man's INSANE skill.

[@KORNBG]

Yea - that crossover is absolutely insane,glad you Lord pointed it :)

[@lostbrethren2826]

intimidated is the word I would use

[@troublednamed8054]

Absolutely insane and mesmerizing to watch, that drummer is another level 🔨♥️

[@Wyatth58]

These guys are insanely talented

[@lostbrethren2826]

🤘

[@Blickeymore]

I love this guy because of how much he expresses himself in his playing, showing he has stamina, talent, creativity, and passion🔥🔥🔥

[@culture-nature-mobility7867]

The problem with this video is that there are not that many drum videos left that are still fun to watch after watching this 😂

[@eldub7191]

Just watching Chason play I reach my daily step goal

[@LucianBlack]

Goated

[@tdogg1281]

Chason is one of the best

[@pugmonzzz]

One of the best metal drummers around right now. And wow that kit is gorgeous! That wood grain is amazing

[@michaell3105]

Truly nonstop

[@visitor82]

Great originality like immolation drummers congratulations you make your own style!

[@markavery6713]

This dude is by far incredible at his craft. Thing is, he's been doing it so long under the radar. Spread the word! Help another drummer out!! 🖤🤘🤘👊👊🥁🥁

[@FuneralPyre999]

3:08 is SICK!

[@philtolfreeart]

Such a savage 🥁🔥

[@phillippalmejar9548]

Beast! I caught him on this tour in San Diego.

[@ricklieffering241]

That was epic!

[@necrophagist00]

2:30 😱🤯🤘🏻🔥

[@Signor65]

That's just nutty

[@Jeffmetal42]

One of the absolutely sickest sets I've ever seen live. Caught this tour in Austin. I've been down w Chason's playing since Burning the Masses and especially when I caught his Enfold Darkness set. Still blowing my mind a decade plus later.

[@MA-sf3bk]

Excellent Chason !

[@sega.milkis]

This performance is one of the most impressive live extreme drumming I've seen in a long time. Creativity, precision, power, speed. Chason is dancing on the kit, it's ridiculous 🤣

[@lastditch727]

This dude hits more things in one song than I do in a whole set 😆

[@dmnscks]

Chason is so good man... super underrated

[@AdamKlopar-it9kb]

Chason and Rüdi are the rulers of extreme drumming. So precise and groovy! So musical! It´s Not just drumming but a real art👌🏼

[@paistefever]

Oh hell yeah!!!

[@greggsonic]

Saw Chason in 2008 with Hate Eternal! Fking genius!!!! \M/

[@lewiscandlin8391]

So glad I stumbled upon this! The best! ❤

[@rydawg8934]

Savage playing and song. Keep the metal alive, brothers.

[@gonzaloescobar984]

BESTIA 🤘🏻

[@Hexdrine]

Another makes it looks effortless monster. yesh.

[@TPSOTT]

This dude is a machine.

[@Metalheadmike1211]

Man chason is everywhere. Definitely have to respect the guy.

[@JM_Smith1]

The stamina Metal drummers have is ABSOFUKINLUTLY krazy

[@legalizexit]

chason a really fucking underrated drummer, unique connexion with the instrument!

[@mothwizard4307]

Yes

[@Chef-Ardone]

seeing this live was pretty amazing. sad hes not with the band anymore but the new dude, who does nithing, is also amazing

[@Everythingwentblack69]

I remember when he played for Burning the masses, was amazing back then wondered what happened to him

[@simpvicious875]

this shit makes me stupid happy he's soooooo fkn good lol

[@lisao6928]

I saw them live with this guy and omg, it blew my mind. My jaw was on the floor the entire time. I try to play drums, nothing anywhere like this, but I can appreciate how this doesn't even seem humanly possible. I have seen many bamds and lots of amazing drummera who have blown me away, but nothing like this man. I saw Vitriol again with another drummer and it wasn't the same.

[@sahinlandman4667]

Matt Kilner has written some crazy fucking unplayable shit on this year's album, can't wait to hear him play soon

[@rosefuneral89]

I’ve seen amazing drummers but this dude is out of this world.

[@culture-nature-mobility7867]

No further questions...

[@PTKS02]

What a beast!

[@B1tterAndThenSome]

His talent is out of this world. Such a shame he isn't the permanent drummer.

[@vndrevlves]

I listen more to this than the original track, the drums are so much more dynamic!

[@frankstein6816]

this guy should be more viral than nils dominator and el estepario.

[@pimaddoc2100]

nice!!!

[@mauricioreyessolis4922]

Ouuuuuuu!!! shitttttttttt !!!!!

[@Nefville]

Oh my god.

[@cognitivedisruption5375]

❤🤘

[@brianwilcox]

not sure I've ever seen cracked hi-hats before lol beast

[@UponThisAltar]

Archspire. Not sure if he does anymore, but Spencer Prewlett used to run something similar if I'm not mistaken. Been a few years since I saw them live to be fair.

[@jamesa.laflamejr.4370]

I have seen ALOT- EXTREME has an abrasive and terrible essence, and if these comments on here were from musicians like myself (or musicians at all) they would have no more words left for the ABSOLUTE SUPREMACY this MACHINE is displaying- q1111111through some of the most intense, skilled, and natural talent, I HAVE EVER SEEN IN 25 YEARS+ OF THIS STYLE MUSIC- BOW DOWN AND PAY HOMAGE-

[@Centerpieceofmind]

I'm a musician and I bow to no-one

[@neilmac3731]

now if only someone would walk up to him after the set and say here dude heres a batch of new sabian cymbals pick your models and enjoy!!you deserve them

[@hahayes5232]

“Westmoreland” bro is the embodiment of manifest destiny

[@squirrelturds]

Fucking. Crazy.

[@Cairah2013]

W

[@Njordica666]

2:22 wtf :D

[@HAST0408]

I would have to eat an entire plate of lasagna between songs if I were him!

[@quadblaster69420]

I'd love to see him record a playthrough of Digging the Grave from the Faceless. Did he record the drums on that one or was it programmed?

[@crazddogc1078]

Biotech wants their body back .

[@HardDisposition]

3:29 he doesn't do heeltoe👀

[@marcusbarnes5929]

🤯💪🦾🦾💪

[@mathieugaron3428]

Wuddup with dual snare? It looks like every Vitriol's rig imply this?

[@WarrenBey]

Holy fuck did he get faster?

[@SargonnasIncarnate]

How the fuck does one remember all that shite be going on? It's... I...

[@GioValletta95]

'rcamadonna

[@liliIiliIilil]

bruh

[@LOOTLORD605]

Andrew Tate for a sec.

[@Metalheadmike1211]

Chason makes it look way too easy. Even their former drummer looked like he struggled to get through the songs.

[@vndrevlves]

Jesus fucking christ!

Familia, me voy a cambiar el nombre a charson.
