Chris is not just a hell of a drummer. He is a hell of a composer too. Those drums are not just a beat, they are intertwined in the song. It pushes the song forward, gives it heart and soul. The whole BmE drums are a masterpiece.

[@roeebenyishai1320]

Absolutely! I feel the exact same way. The hallmark of only the truly best drummers out there, regardless of genre. Mad respect

[@ursulaschlapbach311]

Yes

[@amadorsanchezalonso1048]

Toca con pasión

[@Tinus-pi3il]

Euh, can I say "hard on" on youtube? Takes me back to when it was released during my studies. But still listening to it. Never gets old. Thank yoy Machine Head

[@stewiewonder2601]

[@BigStevie]

You da man Chris!!!!! Much love from Michigan!!!!!!!

[@amadorsanchezalonso1048]

Bestial el dominio de la batería,me flipa cuando cruza los palos en X para tocar los platos y las hostias que los mete,lo dificil lo hace fácil,es un batería que Rob subvaloró,toca con pasión además de imprimir a las canciones no el típico ritmo ,sino lo que èl hace no muchos baterías lo hacen,èl imprime personalidad a la canción,hace que la batería sea otro elemento más,incluso el que marca el ritmo y viceversa,como una unión entre guitarras bajo y voz,increible este hombre👏👏

[@sebastiancavallero8791]

Siempre fui amante de machine y buscaba algo que pudiera ver y sentir como toca esta bestia la batería, lo vi con look nuevos y tocando hasta que llegó el año de la pandemia desempolvado y totalmente aceitado, gracias por volver míster y no te vayas más de machine

[@amadorsanchezalonso1048]

Eso ya no depende de èl,sino de Rob,no debió dejarse ir a este batería

[@georgealcoba3514]

That intro 😍😍😍

[@hectormaciel6800]

Ge ni al!!! 👍🤘 🇦🇷

[@nathanwilliams3049]

This should have 50 million views because it’s so good it’s biblical -but every body is watching some horribly boring music video instead that likely has no body actually playing instruments

[@rhythmicbeast]

FUCKING MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KONTOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sureduck]

The only dude to sit in for Vinnie.

[@johnnysacredofficial]

As much as I love Charlie Benante, he would actually be really great in Pantera!

[@brinepacer]
