Chris Adler Lamb of God "Ruin" Live

[@konatrees]

My friend earned a music scholarship for drums. We played in a metal cover band in high school. We would listen to this drum fill on repeat together. He lost his life to alcoholism and suicide. Never thought ruin by lamb of god would make me tear up but here we are 😂

[@kobber__4749]

9 months late but that is dope asf bro I may not know how to play but god I love there sound of drumming rip to your friend 🙏🏻

[@Maggot2607]

That fill is ALWAYS flawless....

[@brandonrichard3634]

The crowd roar during the fill has to be the biggest rush

[@darthluke655]

That fill never gets old

[@TheLoungeAct12]

start at 3:03 for the fill we all know that's why we're here

[@ArteDanielCaro]

LOL I should see your comment before searching it for myself.

[@hayden3946]

TheLoungeAct I replayed that part like 12 times...

[@mattdangerg]

Nailed it xD

[@lingonberriesofwrath1836]

Damn fucking straight. I was just about to post that fill. I should've known I wasn't the first....

[@joshbusby47]

Cheers.

[@nengstro]

Chris is the nicest, most professional, guy on the drumming scene. Rock star with skills and heart, and works hard too!

[@gregsmall541]

I don't know about nicest personally, but definitely the most professional and mature as a musician.

[@300kike]

nengstro have you heard of JP Bouvet?

[@JamesZhan]

I just LOVVVEEEE the SNNAREEE!! It's so Chris-Adler-ish!

[@keithgreene79]

At the live shows, his kick low end is the loudest thud I've ever felt. I go to hip hop and metal shows and it was amazing. When the drum tech came out and tested it a couple of times, every one in the pit was like, "oh damn, its about to go down"

[@jamacai12]

shame you can't hear his footwork, it's actually a pretty sick double bass song...

[@rab46290]

Every Lamb of God is pretty sick when it comes to drums

[@tuievans]

It sounds good slowed down as well

[@danielgeorge2374]

Agreed

[@ElMasBuscado157]

Its pretty sloppy past the drums the solo

[@dankirk6452]

Chris footwork was sloppy af live. That's why now when you go to a show the bass is loud af. Because art is the better live drummer.

[@archados]

this guy is a living breathing metronome

[@themaggot8]

I used to think exactly the same until I knew about Mario Duplantier. I still love Adler to death.

[@angelmacias7088]

Juan José Fonseca Godoy Mario Duplantier is a fucking god when it comes to tempo and counts!

[@mybluguitar6051]

The fact that you have Tame Impala as your profile photo and your commenting on a Lamb Of God music video is fucking awesome. Props to you for having such a diverse taste in music 👌🏾

[@LukaS-yn4ir]

hes playing to a metronome

[@suckslip]

@@LukaS-yn4ir did he start doing that? I saw a video of him where he says he practices to a metronome, but live he plays without a metronome.

[@TacoSupreem]

Chris’s drums always sound killer!

[@MrMesiahbolical]

That para-diddle on the double bass is unmatched!! SO HARD TO DO!

[@tobymcguinness6478]

When does he do a parradiddle on the bass drums, and what would be the point?

[@poopyjoe7883]

after the big fill/small solo at 3:00

[@ryanperson6307]

Para diddle on bass? I dont think Ive ever heard a drummer do a para diddle on bass for anything other than practice and Ive never heard Chris Adler do one.

[@MrBurnthePriest]

I think that's called having played a song countless numbers of times over a decade and also having incredible dedication to improving his playing ability

[@rafanj824]

That drum fill pumps me up so much to that f*ckin' riff that comes after it, that i lose my mind. How can someone in Earth dislike a masterpiece like this? Pure music.

[@SuzannePenley]

Thanks MEINL for these Drum Cam's! Chris is an incredible musician!

[@joshsherlock2372]

It's cool to see the fill still presents a challenge for him he totally rocks out after he nails it, he's had such an impact on drummers not just in metal but other genres too Chris adler and Thomas haake arguably the two most important drummers in metal in the past twenty years.

[@TornadoOfSouls777]

It's 2020 and We miss you Chris

[@Vaisin]

Who has Chris Adler as his main idol?

[@MikeJunior94]

+Nintendonix Not my main idol, but that is just because I dont have any main idols, or main band xD But he is deffo in the top 5!

[@ibrahimlahlou4228]

he's the best drummer for me tho

[@accipiter1654]

His inspirations include former Wrathchild America and current Godsmack drummer Shannon Larkin and Stewart Copeland of The Police. Other influences are John Bonham, Dave Lombardo, Gar Samuelson, Lars Ulrich, Billy Cobham and Gene Hoglan. wikipedia

[@Vaisin]

rattlehead Thank youuuu :D But what I wanted to know is who idolizes Chris Adler, I mean, who is Chris Adler's number 1 fan.

[@facingDmirror]

Me

[@mpmattronome]

Love this song and love this album ! Chris is one of my favorite drummers. I must say...he seemed to struggle with this one on that particular night. Some tempo issues and also seemed fatigued. I get it. I play too! I am happy to see that a man such as mr adler here also has issues once and again. It gives me hope. We as musicians seem to be very hard on ourselves when it comes to our skills. That said, loved the video. Chris is amazing. Im not half the drummer he is. I have more okay notes than perfect ones. Keep rockin and always know,you cannot be perfect all the time.

[@CarlisleBaseball22]

Chris Adler FTW

[@brandonrichard3634]

Hearing the crowd roar after hitting that fill has got to be the best feeling ever

[@nunooliveiramusic]

That Ride bell just cuts right through! Freakin awesome.

[@jonesy3663]

A lot of people hating on the sound. You have to realize that they all have in ear sound going on...meaning you aren't going to hear the music from back there the same as the crowd hears it..there are no monitors

[@drakausdromgatti58]

Chris always had so much passion behind his playing....legendary

[@FatalPurpose]

Best drummer to ever walk the face of this earth

[@acemotherfckenfrehley9793]

3:03 the fucking fill. i've always said seeing lamb of god is worth the price of admission just to hear adler play that fill

[@JUANLEVI7]

Good quality. thx meinl

[@ShadySLAYER666]

3:00 You're welcome.

[@BN-xj8wr]

I MUSTVE MISSED IT?

[@joseandreset]

great timing

[@robulrich9351]

keep these coming!

[@niklasfreericks5436]

I'll see them this November, so hyped

[@BrandonSunn]

How can he sit that low but get that much power and agility still. A freakin beast man one of my biggest influences

[@donalexander5935]

The flick in the wrist lol

[@SmashingNine]

Chris Adler is a Wizard.

[@gazbert88]

Excellent vid, possibly the best metal drummer around today.

[@Cavallero]

Dude is so calm and loose. Willing to bet he can play this in his sleep.

[@meinlcymbals]

See the description for information about how this video and its audio were recorded. Thanks. - Chris Brewer

[@aslanobrien7618]

Besides the snare volume, great performance

[@Jimbobwick]

MEINL picked a great song, his use of cymbals in this song is amazing!!

[@sackboy1055]

I love the sound of his kicks. Deliciously recorded. ;)

[@MatiasInfinito108]

I love how he doesn't have his snare as tilted as he used to :D

[@JSClarke94]

That's one damn good view from up there

[@MrEvilBacon]

I found that Chris Adler always had the sickest sounding snare

[@Konglorr]

at first was gutted that the sound was only him but it's kinda cool you can just about hear the band and it's like the adler experience. Love how crazy the crowd go for the fill, you can hear them shouting the lyrics all the way through too.. band must be pumped

[@riccardogaudentidrummer]

That snare...

[@lilmoongirl13]

[@syzygy2464]

usually people like that are so badass because they are super intense but they just internalize it, inside it's a storm of fury and badassery.

[@theodorebunkers272]

Adler rules!!

[@andrepabilona7401]

i wonder what kind of shampoo he uses...

[@ShadySLAYER666]

He needs to be in one of those Head and Shoulders commercials.

[@CrNgLrD]

Suave all natural.

[@keithgreene79]

The live sound of his drums always sound weak, except for his snare which he probably tightens with a tire iron. Companies who video record him can never get a decent sound. That's why you have to see them live. They some how get amazing sound out of the mics. They produce the loudest, deepest kick I've ever heard. The drum tech almost started a mosh pit when he was sound checking. It was that impacting

[@westlandseaking]

the prob is on your Hardware Keule! My Sound is awesome! bd and snare....great!

[@keithgreene79]

What's a kuele? I'll look it up. I'm surprised you have such good sound. Chris bass drums always sound thin in video taped from camera mics.

[@ripdimebag969]

ik man it is so amazing my ears rang for like two days

[@nengstro]

The snare isnt just tightened"... its a 12 inch snare. Of course it pops.

[@boycey_x4345]

Remember seeing them almost 10 years ago, my first concert ever, to this day never felt a kick drum that powerful. It literally shook your rib cage.

[@bazzyg]

He's quite isolated back there behind all those lights and dry ice. Can't see the crowd or anything. I'm a drummer myself and sometimes feel a disconnect from the audience.

[@AWG59]

When I saw iron maiden he was hidden. Same with hellyeah although Vinnie stood up sometimes and interacted with the fans. RIP Vinnie Paul :(

[@rotnmold7861]

Sometimes its better to be isolated from the crowd at least in my experiences

[@Lauen]

Well, if you don't like the cymbals, just say you don't like them, and all the audio here was recorded with a Zoom Q3HD, just a video recorder, so of course the audio isn't really up to par with something like a studio setup, with proper micing.

[@specializerava1655]

@3:05 chris starting to have fun. Simply the best.

[@alanbique]

welcome to Megadeth!

[@sackboy1055]

The kick drum sounds perfect. xD That's how low-end sounds on a mic. Sounds delicious to me.

[@TheHungryHowie]

1:36 Anybody know what cymbal chris is using at this point or what branch it is off of

[@meinlcymbals]

That is a cymbal that has been discontinued since 2017. It's part of a series that was called Soundcaster Custom. The cymbal was a 12" Distortion Splash.

[@TheHungryHowie]

the two smalles splashes are exactly the same can somebody tell me why???

[@GarrickTheGreat15]

I love Christian metal bands like this.

[@riv2k4]

I think it's because of Resolution. I think it's supposed to match the album cover.

[@ChimichangaGuy]

Chris is using Czarcie Kopyto kick pedals now? or just this show?

[@pharcydebug]

anyone have any ideas how he tunes his snare, cranked batter-looser reso, or the other way around?

[@Hellwyck]

+pharcydebug The snare is high pitched so it has to have a tighter batter.

[@tobymcguinness6478]

+Hellwyck It's a 12×5 snare drum, he doesn't tune it crazy high it just is

[@Hellwyck]

Toby McGuinness Well done, I didn't say he tunes it "crazy high", I said it's small so it's high pitched. I've played for 33 years, I'm no noob.

[@lucasathus]

i can hear it just fine here

[@berkonat1926]

Quick recover beast

[@stephenhession2529]

Watch this with the speed doubled

[@MrPatrickAdair]

The high end sounds amazing, the bass drum is almost inaudible. Thats the only thing I would try and change. Other than that it's quite good.

[@NiceTacos]

It's still there though.

[@zombieman1221]

Where can i get a white saturn like his?

[@TunnelJumper]

John Keyes I could sell you mine but I’m in Toronto, Canada haha. It’s the same arctic white/black hardware Saturn shells: 20x20/12x9/16x14. The kick was custom ordered from Mapex by the original owner.

[@TheVlad654]

Did I see correctly? Did Chris use now Polish pedal "Czarcie Kopyto" (Devil`s Hoof)?

[@fv0]

Does anybody know what shirt he is wearing?

[@TheJaguras]

Well, i think the Sound is great, i mean its supposed to see/hear Chris playing, not the Rest of the Band, is it? And you hear the Drums great.

I have a question maybe someone knows, what the mixer next the Chris does? is not the trigger control, he turned something on at the beginning of the video and I'm wondering what is he controlling, is a mixer apart of the mixer? is the volume for the metronome or what is that for?
