Haha! Dropped a stick, shrugged, carried on like a boss! Awesome stuff Darby. 👍🏼

[@andreya3950]

As a fellow drummer, playing at the RAH must be quite the experience. Congrats, man! Hope you are hired for the new albums too.

[@DarbyTodd]

Thanks man. I actually recorded drums for the new album last September. I believe it’s out in October this year. Stay well.

[@JoshParkerDrums]

Stick drop recovery 💯!!!

[@TheCoronaMortis]

I’d love to play that kit! Killed it!

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

Was a great night, I'm sure I can just about spot myself! Great playing too 🤘

[@domithedrumster]

so good, kudos to you sir!

[@MusicmanmarkUk]

Flippin awesome buddy. You look like you’re having a ball!

[@daveking9393]

nice. I enjoyed it. thanks

[@TheHeavyHooksShow]

Killed it man.

[@benjones6865]

Unless Devin used the exact same lines on both nights, then this was from night 2. I was there and even have a recording of the whole gig to prove it 😁

[@azwep]

Correct, it was night 2; Bad Devil was only played on night 2.

[@ianjonas7380]

Stick dropped but the groove rolled on

[@Darkman24]

Darby quick question on the porter and davies if you have a sec. Do you find it overwhelming when doing constant doublebass? I play smaller bars and clubs and most of the time with no subs and have been looking into one. Thoughts?

[@DarbyTodd]

The Porter and Davies is life changing!! It’s only overwhelming if you turn it up too far. It’s pretty easy to find a great balance. Sometimes I turn it up and down during a gig depending on the type of song. It’s allowed me to play fast patterns that I couldn’t play without it. The only bad thing is that when you have to do a gig with out it life sucks! I paid for mine and it’s the best investment I’ve made for my drumming. I can’t recommend it enough man. Let me know how you get on.

[@Darkman24]

@@DarbyTodd Thanks for taking the time Darby. I emailed them about making a custom seat with the tailbone cut out too. Now just to convince the wife :) Thanks again!

[@DarbyTodd]

@@Darkman24 just don’t tell the wife! I just ordered a second one so on days off from tour I still have one in my studio! Tell the guys I said to give you an amazing deal!

[@Darkman24]

@@DarbyTodd I would only we share the same bank info....NOOOOO! I'll make sure to let Dil know :)

Hmmm, quite how you can mix your diary up and book to drum with Frost* when you are already booked with Devin I don't know. I arranged for friends to come from Edinburgh, Dublin and Stockholm only to get the concert cancelled on me. Tsk, tsk...

[@DarbyTodd]

I didn’t mix my diary up. I was offered 5 shows with Frost. 3 weeks later I was offered 60 shows across Europe with Devin. I gave Frost 3 months notice that I was unable to do the tour. They fully understood. After 2 years of not touring due to a pandemic it’s kinda hard to not do the bigger longer tour. Come to a Devin show. You might like it.

Where is Ryan van Poederooien?

[@TC-lk2ev]

He changed his whole band a few years ago. I loved RVP's style too. Absolute machine.

[@johnwalter6410]

Ive never liked "joke music". This shit is silly. Not into it. Is he trying to be a comedian?

[@willmitchell1044]

hes just enjoying himself lmao

[@HailTheApocalypse]

Yea this dude should tour with Steel Panther.
