ohhh yurrrrrrr

[@solitaryg]

Question.... I didn't see mics on the kit for the video shoot. Are you recording those at home?

[@Coppercustomz]

We needs one vlog a week, Even if it’s doggy dogs eating 🤘🤘☠️☠️

[@ThomasTallant]

Mr. Sam! Stimpco here. This show was SO great now I don't know what to request! Guess it's all Mutiny Within now..... :) Thanks for CRUSHING my favorite songs.

[@ゴジラが大好き]

Your the best ever man! I’m a HUGE fan of you!!! (:

[@Snaffdude]

I love how Dev writes drum patterns so distinct I can tell what song it is and exactly what part of the song it is!

[@elexitososenorp]

True

[@GeminiWoods]

I'm pretty sure he gave RVP and Gene free reign most of the time as far as getting the drums set.

[@mattkennedy9308]

As I understand it, it's more Devin sets up the basic pattern then the guys put their own spin on it. I know Gene especially, and probably Ryan, did a lot of his own tom/cymbals work over the top of the base patterns.

[@MegaJiiRo]

@@danielssonsgarage Yeah z1 has drumkit from hell

[@satan1189]

His yuuuurrsss are getting more musical every video

[@TheDeadmandillon]

The Lingaping Landscaping co. Garden lookin' fresh Samus! Probably smells like blast beats too.

[@Minecol5]

Ohhhh Yuuuurrr

[@Psymon1471]

those zucchinis probably smell like cav

[@NickEustaquio]

I hope there'll still be vlogs once we hit empath volume twenty two

[@jakedevries1455]

Twenty two oh yurr

[@gxshepherd]

The show was incredible....and you absolutely nailed those parts. A pleasure to behold.

[@pjpwnsu]

Dude, you kinda look like a young Saruman in the end of the manscape section. Glad to see you getting some time in with Devy! You deserve some big gigs

[@Unk1nDo_O]

7:05 Holy Moly! That view! That cymbals color! Mindblowing! Cheers from Russia Samus :)

[@GillRigged]

Love that garden!

[@aquilaxonline1150]

Yes sir, San Marzano tomatoes especially good to make sauces. They're from my parents region ("Campania").

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

Yes! Another vlog! Love this one Sam and I love the segment in the series ever since I decided to check you out! It was worth experience seeing the show and well done to Devin and crew too.

[@rotek824]

nice to hear the drumkit without triggers :D

[@elektro096]

Awesome as always

[@plejer1067]

Soooo thats the real sound of your drums....weird lol

[@alpyre]

I was skeptical about his touch on the snare since we always heard a triggered sample. Now I have no doubts that he can really rock it.

[@spsaxena9390]

Hmm I still love his cav

[@savitelseofficial7751]

@Samus these people are baheees

[@acidrain812]

Alper Sönmez bruh go look up his live videos with Decrepit Birth, he hits hard as fuck when he blasts lol

[@jheffreymartineau3388]

Nook, they are goooood

[@unrealskunkworks]

Your dogs are awesome! Oh and your drumming is ok, Samus 😁

[@benn_bazaa]

ok?

[@grbgeslnger24]

Chungy!

[@jaredmulconry]

I'm super hype for the DVD/Bluray to come out. I had the sound coming through my phone because it was the best shared speaker I had. Definitely wanna listen to the whole performance through headphones. It was next level amazing. You and everyone involved did a great job.

[@cobb_thedrummer]

Thanks this was GREAT

[@Rukazor]

You fucking rule and this concert was amazing. I had 3 friends over to watch it and it was a complete gem. You fill Hoglan and RVP's shoes like no one else in the world could, bra-fucking-vo.

[@Zandooooooo]

Gave a thumbs up before even watching it! Love your vlogs Samus🤘🏻

[@MarkDuffyPhotography]

Wow those cymbals are sparkling. Fuck I'd love a full studio like that green scree studio for both my photography work and drumming.

[@greatconfiguration]

That rug really tied the sawdust of the room together.

[@bikershark9]

That you get to do this stuff with Devin is just the coolest fucking thing in the world. That's so awesome and couldn't have happened to a cooler dude. I also always wonder if you're making faces when you play or if that's just your face when you play.

[@michaelanderson4849]

Nooooo! The sack cuts are part of the fun. The excitement of barely avoiding a castration followed by a desperately stopping a torrent of blood, brings new heights to the sensation of gently teabaggin' your significant one/s.

[@ChaosEnigma1978]

Ah, a man of culture, I see.

[@The_Crooked_Step]

So the audio was recorded in your basement, and the video in the green-screen studio? Have I understood that correctly?

[@FanaticDrummer]

Basically a live music video.

[@wallyordona159]

Always a pleasure to watch you vids

[@St_Mindless]

I'd love to see your kit fully decked out with Classic Custom Dark 😍

[@RileysDadRocks1]

Dude. This video is awesome! I love behind the scenes vids like this. Thanks buddy 🤘

[@yosefboi]

FINALLY!!!!

[@LordDavlamin]

This wholesome premium dog content is more than I ever needed!

[@edneragnarok]

I LOVE the dogs searching for treats, Sam. We do the same thing. Precious.

[@Pauligrinder]

Devin should totally re-record Ziltoid with you on the drums! The original drumkit from hell samples haven't aged very well IMO :D

[@Pauligrinder]

DFH was so far ahead of the competition when it came out that I guess everyone and their dog used it. I even used it on my home demos back then, and I guess that's why the samples annoy me on Ziltoid :D

[@drphalanges1520]

That's so cool. I'm psyched for you.

[@neeltheother2342]

"ergonomic design" "7000 rpm" "silent stroke technology" I swear this entire ad read is euphemism heaven

[@12309.]

Great video, good stuff as always. Thank you 👍🏻

[@casaroli]

I love that he’s slowly developing his ohh yuuur with new melodies and harmony hahh

[@eddrummerhands9448]

sweet Kit! love the snare tone:)

[@ZakkiLowe]

Watching Almost Again made me so happy. Well, the whole thing did. But I always wanted to watch that song being played.

[@kaoko111]

Best sponsored video ever.

[@the.brad.thomas]

That was a ducking cool ride! Thanks 🥁🤘

[@patrickvangelder6943]

Loved that you headbanged the way Gene did during Aftermath ,.....Shameless.

[@jasonraine9698]

Killing it like always bud 🤘🤘 hi from Ontario

[@AWsounds]

Your BTS and vlog style videos are my absolute favorite. Takes me back to YeOldeTube home video stylings.

[@alastairrear5611]

Holy shit dude you nailed everything I am so impressed

[@federico6416]

The intro is pure art

[@grantrobinson4537]

Loved it!!! You are a machine 🤘🤘

[@MoSweiti666]

We need more videos like this!

[@codyisrude]

hes releasing a disc for empath vol.2 live?! hell yeh i'm ordering one

[@MadiUk77]

You need to talk about how it was to play SYL stuff. You had some pretty big boots to fill there and imo you did an incredible job. Juular is a stamina nightmare and triggers have no mercy on precision .... you're a damn machine man !

[@jmlgl]

Good jobs playing all those Devin's songs, you have earned every pennies you may have made out of it. Quite a challenging task !

[@Mark-ix4zt]

WTF WAS THAT INTRO!😂😂😂 dude you had me laughing in the first 2 seconds of the video😂

[@andyfox8377]

You killed it on this show!

[@zero28ism]

9:25 While that wasn't much, that did put a smile on my face :)

[@TheRealMrBeard]

That's it, back to Winnipeg!

[@Rockin_Ross]

Good stuff for sure!!🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@RobKingRC]

Snare sounds great!!!! Ohhh Yurrr!!!!!!

[@PikeMortnoy]

I love the drumming but I think what made me hit the subscribe button was the random noises which just reminds me of my own friends. The Oohh yeeeerr, meeerrr’s and random phrases just crack me up, I always thought it was just us that did it! Hi from the U.K., throughly enjoying your channel! Da da da da da da daaaaa..... click (subscribe) 😂

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

4:55 What's in the ports? Just a port hole cover of sorts?

[@Zarokki]

This show REALLY has to be a DVD release at some point. It was so fucking good!

[@DanielRalph56]

People who don't listen to metal: "metal drummers always look so scary, what do they even do in their houses?" Metal drummers: 1:31

[@TheVermifuge]

🤣 holy fuck

[@Drumzylvania]

Yes, please do a new studio tour. Can you give us some details on your Pearl kit?

[@finniganmcasscrackin373]

Man this guy fuckin cracks me up man, awsome drummer and funny as fuck. Love your vids

[@tperkins073]

Awesome, Samus! Thx for the upload. ...And the video production nerd in me thinks: Surprised they didn't color-match those cameras before the shoot. Color space on every shot looks way different. Don't envy the ppl who had to grade that.

[@alexyorkshots]

Living the dream, man!

[@drphalanges1520]

U-Haul blows. Last time we used them, they just took an extra 200 bucks out of my account just because they felt like it. They never gave it back either.

[@TheVermifuge]

Yikes. They’d be seeing me in court.

[@drphalanges1520]

@@TheVermifuge I just let it go. Court costs would exceed what I lost anyway.

[@Razcrut]

More!!

[@gwengame7632]

It's great to see samus with devin honestly

[@mdwm1981]

It was a great show. It would be cool to get it on dvd or bluray

[@TheSyl63]

Didn't realize you were in Winnipeg... go Goldeyes!

[@the_awful_guitar_player6666]

Can't wait to watch cows and cats behind you !

Was going to congratulate you on crushing that shoot but then - you're growing San Marzano tomatoes??

Awesome dude!!!!

Holy shit balls! Thanks this is great!

Damn. Thanks for going through all that extra trouble for the show.

I have that same IKEA rug in red

[@adrianhagane3783]

i have not seen the whole thing but.... AMAZING... JESUS F**K

That's a kit I would love to set up and tear down...once.

[@blonep]

I think Samus might tell me he loves me as much as my son does! Love you too buddy!

I imagine if I smoked one with u I’d here that silly sound every time u passed it lol lmao and I LOVE IT!!!

The irony in growing a beard for the man scaping advert.

[@slipknot_santino7654]

Regular drummers: alright great session can’t wait to see it when it comes out Samus: holy fuck we’re done 🤣🤣🤣

[@llsticksll]

You started filming this on my birthday :D

[@Nickolaars]

It was such a fun show to watch. Weird, on the couch, with my pants round my ankles. But a lot of fun.

[@Geddylee2000]

Missed the vlogs 😁

[@ki2976]

Yes

[@beastwaynes4868]

As soon as I heard talk of you possibly being involved with playing live with Devy, my very first thought was “Finally ‘By Your Command’ - played as it was intended - will be viable for live performance.” Sex.

[@RickMazz]

LMAO top down view you look like CaptaiN Caaaaaaaaaaaaave MAAAAAAAaaaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

captain cav man

I love this LED light too, that turns on when you turn it on. Laughed my balls off. No pun intended.
