Chris Adler performing Modern drummer festival 2005

[@Velokor]

as a guitarist, let's take a moment to appreciate how flawlessly Willie plays these songs.. what a legend

[@hardcoras666]

fucking beast

[@jimyounger9490]

Velokor thinking the same thing

[@tonypasma1707]

yes

[@heyitsbacon599]

That last riff from Hourglass is so freaking hard.

[@elilewis8212]

These guys are always flawless

[@Schlusenbach]

In 2005 every metal drummer wanted to sound like Chris Adler. These were the nicest and most peaceful times of my life.

[@clintondearborn3016]

So True!!!!..I agree completly with you!!... I just got sober!..I was a thirty pack a day drunk!!... And I havent played my Ten pice drum kit in all most a year, I just strted playin lamb of god Again! Because of Chris Adler and your! Channel!..Thanks man MUCH LUV!!! Clinton Dearborn from NH USA.CANT WAIT TO GRUGE FUCK SOME LAMB ON THE DRUMS AGAIN LOL..

[@artistryartistry7239]

Chris Adler is extremely intelligent. You can tell that thoughtfulness translates to his success as a drummer.

[@taylorprocker]

His drumming on Protest the Hero’s “Volition” album really let him show off his chops. No idiot can lay licks like that!

[@noknownthrone2487]

Straight up wisdom: "Drums are a whole lot of fun to play. It's not about beating yourself up for what you can't do. It's about what you CAN do."

[@behindthen0thing525]

Yeah he didn't push himself that's obvious

[@jaimeduendeozzzkr]

@@behindthen0thing525 meaning?

[@behindthen0thing525]

@@jaimeduendeozzzkr not the greatest drummer

[@Darylrb1983]

​@@behindthen0thing525 well it's a good thing he doesn't consider himself the greatest. Also disagree about him pushing himself. He jumped into a band as a drummer who couldn't play drums, so he had to learn along the way while trying to make the band work. He is where he's comfortable. I'm sure if he started like most drummers do, woodshedding hours and hours BEFORE even thinking about being a band, the outcome may be different.

[@darktirador]

@@behindthen0thing525watch the video he admits he is not the best. Chris may not be one of the greats but he surely influenced me in my drumming and for that I am thankful for.

[@MrCrawley01]

Lamb of God is not the same without you :(

[@Kruuga]

facts unfortunately

[@stefanotansini8024]

Agree 100%......

[@ayusharipirala3121]

But both their new singles are pretty dope in their own way. Art has his own style and Chris has his own. No drummer is better than the other.

[@BauTrials]

@@ayusharipirala3121 is true, but sadly art has to play many chris' songs so this is so weird to listen

[@helldoorsguard]

Where Chris Adler now??

[@MikeSeagroves]

dude started playing drums at 21 and is better than I will ever be at any instrument...

[@pianistanton1]

but he knew a lot about music when he started playing drums

[@deadmoonscriptures1556]

@@pianistanton1 That means nothing. Proper practice trumps knowledge every time.

[@markhynes5160]

@@deadmoonscriptures1556 it doesn't mean nothing. It is not as significant as straight practice and technique, but to say that pre-existing knowledge of another instrument or (especially) music theory means nothing is just wrong. Someone with an existing understanding of how music works and it's general structures will certainly have a better start than a complete beginner.

[@deadmoonscriptures1556]

@@markhynes5160 I think you misunderstood me; my point was that it doesn't matter where you are in comparison to someone else on your musical journey. You can gather all the knowledge in the world, if you don't put it into proper dedicated practice it will never yield results. His thoughts regarding others progress in relation to his own is what "means nothing". I will attempt to be more clear in the future.

[@kp7309]

Just practice dude.

[@Seanalbertt]

Is he the fastest? No. Is he the most technical? No. But what Chris does have is pocket, and taste. He doesn’t wow you with his chops, he does what every rock solid drummer does, sits in the song, keeps the pocket fat, and the feel perfect.

[@ricksterdrummer2170]

Most metal drummers these days just copy what the guitars are doing. I like Adler because he’s more than just that. 💪

[@mydixiewrecked315]

let's hope he never washes the pants he wears, because you do NOT want this guy to lose the dirtiness in his pockets!!!!

[@mathieudager4234]

Granted but actually very few end up being able to pull that off. He kicks ass and stays on tracks like no other though

[@StumptownDrummer]

Why is that the measure of a metal drummer? Just play whatever you think the song requires.

[@Nissardpertugiu]

Chris did his homework, he listened also Billy Cobham and such as opposite to some others.

[@mitigiant5328]

2020 anyone ？

[@user-ki4jc7il1n]

Meee

[@thommypergliamici2992]

Here I am

[@Centerpieceofmind]

I bought this DVD when it came out. Been a fan since 02

[@mtlheadqcqc3598]

Maximus Gigantos still good in 2020

[@shomy89]

Yup

[@francismiguel-123]

I'm so sad about that he's no longer a member of Lamb of God these days, Chris is one of my inspirational musician for being me as a drummer.

[@Farrahtinsley218]

I feel that Art Cruz is one of the only viable replacements but I'll always love Chris' feel and dynamic

[@robdavies8413]

Art is a top drummer but Chris was an integral part of LoG. I hope there’s no ill feelings with him and Willie.

[@goukhongsai3796]

Why he left

[@vermilion6667]

​@@goukhongsai3796broken collarbone probably due to his motorcycle accident. Also I heard about the disagreement in the band so, I could be wrong.

[@joshovthedead]

He’s a great speaker! Lol

[@bluebruising]

Yeah that surprised me! He’s an excellent orator

[@EggsiLog22]

that legendary snare tone will always be forever in our heart and ears !

[@juicyjay831]

My dad(who’s a drummer) had this on dvd when it came out that we got at a local music shop back home in Santa Cruz. I was 12 in ‘05 and I would watch it a lot and get pumped to go up in my room and play my kit! Brought back lots of memories!

[@miguelchaves8110]

Not only one hell of a drummer, he's a wise man of teaching how much you can become a better musician while practicing🤘

[@goku4139]

Chris proves that age is just a number. You can start playing drum/guitar at any age. Its never too late man🤘🏻❤️

[@DatDoza]

Cargo shorts are just metal

[@isopropyltoxicity]

Definitely 90s and early 2000s metal

[@trooper1972]

camo cargo shorts (I thank Pantera)

[@jamespontius8713]

Can ANYONE imagine Dimebag without camo cargo shorts lol...definitely metal!

[@jamesadamgleason9471]

Max Cavalera approved

[@kingscotimus]

I met Chris once after a head bangers ball tour in Atlanta. Hell of a nice guy.

I saw this live! I was blown away by his presentation! A great speaker!

[@keimahngei6646]

Blood of the Scribe is one of the best riffs ever written. Guitar and Drums.

[@OlliLappalainen]

I remember watching this as 13-14 year old in 2005-2006, just started to play drums, being mindblown by Chris's playing and trying to emulate everything he did. Even his assjumping on the throne. Love it.

[@RucaMad]

Chris Adler was one of my main drumming idols when learning double bass. I always wanted to emulate his sound. Glad I got to see him live in 2007!

[@ahdandimas6577]

i love that his bass always sound so powerful and precise

[@brandonthornborough4433]

I didn't intend to lose interest in lamb of God when he left but I did. I guess his drumming is what drew me to the band.

[@Vorticy135]

His snare helped them have a more unique sound his replacement is killer but his drums don't sound very good

[@donniemills967]

Damn. Same.

[@courageousmelon5654]

Art is a great drummer, but it indeed just isn't the same.

[@user-gu3ie]

So you just never liked log....simple

[@happycanayjian1582]

Art does a pretty decent job, but Chris was the pillar of the band. The guitars and riffs are always top notch but his drumming is what I dig the most when I blast it in my car.

[@oldschoolmotorcycleinc]

[@PatrioticTexan1776]

Chris Adler is still one of my favorite drummers. I love that kit the way he has it setup is so nice!

his whole mindset on the drums is what makes him one of the best

[@Murphy_R9]

I am a Guitarist but love drums and to find out Chris was only playing the drums for 10 years when ASHES OF THE WAKE was released makes me really glad i switched to guitar back in 1980! His playing is devastating for a guy that only has 10 years into it on that record!😲😱

[@tye829]

Damn. Didn’t realize he learned so late! One thing I’ve always loved about his drumming is how clean it sounds: not just timing but volume. Each stroke sounds the same. He always looks so relaxed. I bet it was learning to play along with the Aerosmith cd rather than starting with a drum pad tbh

[@tye829]

@@Chuck_Upchuck No

[@bailey9208]

People that hear this on the radio and just think theirs no rhyme or reason to it but then they see the band play it with their OWN two hands and feet and voice and then the look on their face realizing that this is on a whole other level. This is geniuses at their craft
