Chris Allison - Plini - Kind (live at Brooklyn Steel)

Taken from the final date of Plini's 2020 US tour supporting Periphery.
Just cleaning out my hard drive & came across this clip I put this together a while back for one of the companies I'm involved with which never got used, so figured I might as well through it up here.
And no, I didn't wear the jacket the whole gig.
Musicians:
Plini - lead guitar
Jake Howsam Lowe - rhythm guitar
Simon Grove - bass
Live audio captured by Ronnie Young
Mix by Simon Grove
Video captured on a GoPro 5 Session II & GoPro 5 Black.
Gear used: Sonor SQ1 drums & hardware, Zildjian cymbals, Remo drumheads (coated Emperors on toms, coated CS Dot on snares & coated PS3 on kick) & hi-hat clutch, BFSD accessories and Vic Firth 5A sticks.
I am proud to be an artist with: Sonor, Zildjian, Remo, Vic Firth, 64 Audio & Big Fat Snare Drum.

I feel like I have to expend more effort to put together my grocery list than this dude does playing this song.

[@ChrisAllisonDrums]

😂😂😂

[@dancawar1765]

Chris Allison is the most underrated guy ever.

[@SirBender]

He‘s actually not that famous, yet ;)

[@plabmadeeasy]

Definitely!

[@BillRayDrums]

@@SirBender He sure oughta be. That's some fine work

[@stcmattb]

What an insanely smooth performance. How he looks/feels playing the whole song, but especially 2:35-2:52, is how I look/feel listening to Plini lol

[@SudsRegal]

As smooth as “butter dripping’ off a hot biscuit”!

[@pw0106]

i agree

[@weeschwee]

3:00 casually sneaks in a beast fill. That was slick! I think I rewatched that at least ten times.

[@timothymills1351]

I don't what is more impressive. His groove or that Jacket

[@axelenglish2922]

Extremely pro. In every way. This is inspiring.

[@NickAcker]

That live mix is so good! Such a killer performance as well from everyone on stage.

[@osso321]

Awesome drumming man, I love the sound of your kit

[@Irishpineapple97]

This an absolutely insane performance. Well done to the whole band! Can't get over how effortless they makes this look

[@brettarthurson3980]

The god of drums. You're an absolute weapon mate.

[@robertmueller5843]

The greatest drummer ever. No one even comes close.

[@AlfredoEscalante]

You play the 4 continuous drum hits of this song with only one foot? Damn! Awesome! I gotta go back to practice...

[@horribleross3236]

SAME lol

[@juanpablogomez4545]

Love his playing

[@EvgeniyBerlin]

Watching this is my everyday morning routine. Perfect mood raiser.

[@BechirJelassi]

best 2021 video for me, how chill, smooth and fluid your drumming was. i always wish to be able to attend a Plini show, this drum cam video made me satisfied. AND FOR SURE I WILL UPLOAD A COVER OF "KIND" AS PERFECT AS YOU PLAY IT MAN such an inspiration. much love.

[@pamreis]

Wow. I'm so glad I found this channel

[@rogerorchestry]

[@Entitydrums]

[@jimmyhobbit6570]

Cool jacket ! Underrated drummer

[@NickyByloo]

Nice one Chris.

[@JoshMurphyDrums]

2:50 "boom" love it.

[@adonisdavidchristou9711]

Nice and clean as always!!!

[@rocketlaunch321]

Can someone please tell me what/how Chris does with his BD at 3:07? By the way, my new favorite fill (when I learn it) is at 1:32. So smooth.

[@yoanndelanney7777]

I think I hear more than 3 kicks between 2 snares and looking at his legs I'd say Heel-Toe Technique.

[@hannesdrumss]

Slow it down to 50% speed and you‘ll find out it‘s two groups of four in 32nd notes!

[@Landmast3r]

Absolute beast!!!

[@BoBoBiBo]

absolutly live the skill of you all, is i visit a live concert I would love to leave with at kick in my balls, everything is so fucking professionals with backing track and metronome and digital stuff, a albsolutliy love this but its a recorded tracks, its so professional , like an album.

[@lukeheath-edwards7431]

i saw you live in auckland, nz! each of these guys have incredible talent

[@michabula5763]

I couldn't believe those were single kicks in the intro but then I kinda had to, given the fact that you played those notes with only one foot...

[@skrupnik]

Plini and God are friends !! I know it !! Blessings from Buenos Aires Argentina Chris!

[@yusukebass6074]

I love this🤘🤘🔥🔥💥💥

[@tharushashamalka825]

3.07 sick 👌

[@juandavidvelascobaena3531]

Man you do everything well, thanks for be so pro. Does plini tell you what to do? or you can create your drums line? c: You are the best guys!

[@ChrisAllisonDrums]

Thank you for the kind words & for checking out the vid. Plini more or less lets me do whatever I feel appropriate musically. Some ideas of mine are built off of his original skeleton parts, and other times my parts don't resemble his at all!

[@juandavidvelascobaena3531]

It's awesome, because always a beautiful result comes out, collective creation has to be a very fun time, congrats for everything what you do. And hope to meet you all in person one day, you have inspired me a lot, thank you! ♫ :D

[@Chris_Stanley007]

F the KZbin algorithm, you NEED more views to this greatness

[@hoppe111]

👍

[@manansarupria600]

neat!

[@lukaskyle9622]

🙌🙌🥁🥁🤘

[@musicdaddee6578]

Nice

[@toddlewis]

If you drop your brushes, you can use your beard it's almost low enough.

[@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind]

I love how the drums sound in this live performance. No offense towards you and the studio version (since they - the studio version and this live performance - sound almost the same rhythmically), but the tuning of your double bass and overall drumset (as well as the mix) sound WAAAY better here. It makes you justice as I can appreciate your playing much better.

[@BehindTheKitOfficial]

Damnit I wish I had the soundboard audio from the two shows I filmed.

[@pw0106]

its the beard that makes his perfect drumming

[@premium3429]

Plinis personal benny greb.

[@Ch1ckenKatsu]

Anyone know the ride cymbal?

[@jimparadisis1260]

neil fallon from clutch plays drums too? lol amazing drumming man!!!

[@martinbrown1913]

Sensual

[@jasonwright4144]

why do all of us drummers always have to adjust the high hat clutch when there's a pause? XD. 9 times out of 10 its fine XD

[@jacobovelasco9779]

of the minute 1:40 at the minute 1:48 , JAJAJAJAJA, Chris with a metronone hard in my ear and people don't even know how to clap XD just look at Chris XD's face and then plini, how does he respond

[@EricLThomp75]

Is that main snare SQ1 as well?

[@ChrisAllisonDrums]

From recollection it was a ProLite. SQ1 was the aux snare.

[@lucaskalishek]

Where'd you get that jacket? 😂

[@dancawar1765]

Wild West.

[@sfv_TS]

1:43 what was going on here?

[@ChrisAllisonDrums]

Trying to block out the audience's out of time clapping haha

[@jackmaguire1158]

I know this is a video of an incredible drummer doing incredible drumming, but goddamn the vibrato on those pinch harmonics in the final thirty seconds was a violation of my ears (in the good sense)

[@TylerThisTimeAround]

wow such interesting music with such a boring drummer to watch. Do you enjoy playing?

[@jacobsmith1877]

He hits the drums like he's afraid of pissing them off. Dude's an incredibly capable drummer but I don't enjoy watching him because he's low energy AF

[@ChrisAllisonDrums]

Thanks for watching! 😂

[@Jeff664]

Good drum technique means you can be relaxed in your body and still get a massive sound out of your kit. I think Chris looks great on stage. He's grounded, he's focused, he's got great tone and time feel, massive dynamic range from soft to loud and anything in between, and he's looking around and communicating with his band members throughout the performance.
