Just ...... AMAZING !!! 0.0 superbe découverte 🤘🎸

[@AirRedbox]

I love how he adds crazy chops and fills that aren't in the original song and he pulls it off perfectly. One of my favorite drummers.

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

This is my dude! I had so much fun watching Connor rip it up everyday on warped.

[@cayeminterviews]

he stays rippin

[@kevind2409]

Wuttup Gabe! You tore ass too tho man

[@danimal0519]

Both Connor and Gabe are beastsssss. Inspirational for sure. Love watching them!

[@GaslightingWomen]

Went to high school with him. Glad to see someone who was quiet got to express themselves and show their talent to a crowd like this. They're my favorite band right now

[@kodymartin8609]

Gabe just out here with the compliments haha you both rule 🤘thanks for your hard work

[@CrackerJack28660]

Why isn't anyone giving Caleb credit for that cymbal choke at 1:22

[@k_bsh]

I honestly didn't catch it. Rad.

[@joeykse8604]

[@MelonLumpsMC]

It sounded hot. Thank you for that Caleb

[@ryankleinstiver7661]

HOLY SHIT I FIND IT AWESOME THAT HE THOUGHT "Hey maybe that'd sound dope"

[@GlennKokko]

I had to watch some other live videos to see if he does that. He does.

[@BareStrength]

This dude is living my moto: play everytime like it's your last

[@jvyvelvet3880]

When I'm playing drums all calmly, Connor is a visual representation of what's going on mentally.. I need to express my shit like him lmao

[@Andalou8o7]

Jess CCQ looks like cocaine helps too

[@raviolimaster]

esp 2:34 lol

[@jarolddhavesaguit1204]

Me too, unfortunately im on a budget kit, might break cymbals, heads, and sticks more often haha

[@closinginonclosure]

1:20 Caleb walks up with the perfectly timed cymbal choke. Nice. I guess Caleb does write and play all of the instruments on their records. So he knows all if the parts in each song really well. As simple as this cymbal choke may appear, it really does make that part sound a lot more badass than of the cymbal just rang out

[@gaberomero127]

True, very true!...An alternative way could've been Caleb just knowing when Connor D. hits that crash and time it well.

[@DieParan00bs]

He writes all of the bands stuff. He even recorded the first EP completely by himself. (He was the only band member at this point)

[@gaberomero127]

@@DieParan00bs Yeah I know, crazy shit for sure

[@adriancastellius9145]

@@DieParan00bs If you look at live performances of August Burns Red, Jake sometimes does some clean cymbal chokes for Matt. I think it's not as much a question of writing the parts as knowing them and great camaraderie between the band members.

[@h3r3si43]

@@DieParan00bs He recorded the nexts albums by himself too btw. Except he was not recording in his house but in the studio hired by redbull records

[@alextodd3816]

2:43 When you're smashing the ride so hard you have to hold the snare for balance. The man is a beast

[@zethmagdaong3269]

lol your joke makes no sense tbh

[@steventurner1628]

He took what Aaron Gillespie gave him and literally just multiplied it by 1000x. So unreal!

Taylor Lowinger pretty sure there is a video on Connors KZbin channel of Aaron giving him a lesson wayyyy back in the day

[@taylorlowinger1206]

[@EvenTheTrees]

He periodically does a lot of moves that look like hair flips too, he did used to have long hair, funny how those mannerisms stayed. It's definitely his hype and keeping himself high energy :)

[@fasola183]

dude lmaoooo thanks for this

[@strangerforgotten2221]

thank you, this made my night better lol

[@AaronSmithDrums]

soon as I saw that left hand at 0:14 I knew I was in for a treat. this shit had me cheesin hard. Connor is such a monster dude. whenever someone asks why drums are the sickest instrument, I think I'll just show them this.

[@AaronSmithDrums]

by the way, you're on point with all this content Tim. I ain't forget about you

[@terrasmith1843]

Really hope Connor becomes a permanent member of Beartooth. He's one of the best live drummers I've ever seen.

[@JoshHaider]

The fucking most aggressive drummer alive

[@ChristoferTapiheru]

Joshua Haider next to Aaron Gillespie

[@APE_FIST]

Christofer Tapiheru He was actually taught by Aaron

[@nathanfernandes2360]

Joshua Haider agree check out Eloy casagrande also

[@Mindartcreativity]

Silent Planet's drummer is crazy, too. And a beast!

[@APE_FIST]

Hell yeah, Alex is a monster

[@KillerElite898]

At first I thought Beartooth got a new drummer xD Connor looks so different with short hair

[@KillerElite898]

Jason LovesABR I thought they did but I could he wrong

[@Toastandbananas130]

Jason LovesABR Well none of them are officially part of the band, Caleb writes everything. So they might not need to announce it?

[@chaselandgrave315]

I love at the end Caleb Screams "CIRCLE PIT!!! CIRCLE PIT!! CIRCLE PIT!!! CIRCLE PIT!!!"

[@gregtheflyingwhale6480]

2:41 how to break the drumkit, the sticks, and the floor below the drumkit

[@mattfury.]

Grinning from ear to ear while watching this! Connor is a monster! And I reckon every time he plays this song the fills get more and more elaborate haha

[@cmorto99]

Connor is the man. He brings great rhythm and flow to the tooth. Always enjoy watching this dude play!

[@Bleach-lu9bq]

This guys definitely one of the top 10 drummers of this era. Extremely talented

[@beetlejews]

Extremely talented drummer. I want whatever he is on

[@brainbomb97]

Connor was such a great addition to this band. Even when you aren't watching him play, you can just hear the energy he brings.

[@jamesrarajrumsbyjames5348]

It's refreshing to see him having so much fun with these songs. I was expecting a less-than-stellar performance, and he absolutely surprised me.

[@cayeminterviews]

I've been watching connor drum for years now and I've never seen him play less-than-stellar. I'm actually pretty sure he's incapable of that haha

[@fasola183]

this just proves why Connor is my all time fav drummer man, he's the awesomest

[@darrenxhood]

at 0:08 the ride is like "o shit pls no not again"

[@Philipp_Gonzales]

I guess the rest of the cymbals aren´t happy, as well :D

[@blueburnsred]

Yo that fill at 0:40 is insane.

[@janocronismo]

So simple yet so powerful. Great drumming

[@firomartinez_]

I saw this band/guy in Detroit,MI, and was one the best drummers of all Warped Tour. Seriously the bass drum and snare kicked my chest.

[@jeremiahpulley7870]

So many badass drummers these days fr

[@ADTRfan181]

Crazy seeing how far Denis has come. First saw him on his videos of him doing drum lessons with the all might Aaron Gillespie of Underoath. That is why he is so aggressive and has a similar style. Aaron is one of his inspirations

[@codyforsberg3296]

This dude is a beast. How have I not heard of him?

[@ryanroma5724]

bro i love how much consistent power there is when he plays

[@cristiano_samp]

Estou chorando aqui. SENSACIONAL!

[@thinkforyourself5672]

This dude deserves some credit. He doesn't overplay and isn't doing anything super technical but he has some super unique snare fills at uncommon points of the song as well as using his Tom's uniquely. He just has the feel. Can't explain it. Reminds of Daniel Davidson.

[@ryanroma5724]

and has so much power to his playing

[@duhsilverrfox]

I remember meeting him when he was with BAAO, he was so young compared to now, still one killer drummer

[@gabrielordonez7746]

Such a powerfull drummer 🔥

[@brandonjohnson2350]

He sounds way better in this video than some of the others I've seen. In earlier videos he sounded rough. But this video he kills it!! He is an amazing drummer

[@foxtracksmusic]

@2:43 he's literally leaning on the snare so he can hit the cymbal harder. I love it.

Talk about energy, holy

[@TylerAFE]

There’s something about his energy when he’s playing drums. He loves playing music and it shows. When he’s feeling it and his head starts shaking and the teeth start showing with his underbite you can just feel what he feels.

[@josuesamaniego182]

I miss him being in BAAO

[@APE_FIST]

Josue Samaniego Me too. I miss when that band made aggressive music

[@uoCloud12]

Naw he was kinda sloppy with BAAO. He's cleaned up pretty well and he's super solid in Beartooth. His aggression fits in better here. BAAO went crazy soft.

[@samogdendrums]
