This guy is pretty good on drums. Should we hire him?

[@LS-wy3be]

Yeah 🤘

[@KoD83]

perfection!

[@KillerwhaleTRX]

Nah, he use the swivel technique :D You should hire Junna

[@MrStonedCrab]

Not bad but you should try to hire Nyango Star for the drums.

[@dark_metalqueen]

Hell Yeah🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@blackgibson302]

I love how relaxed he looks. He looks like he's having fun, not like he's straining. Lovely technique, great posture. Masterful.

[@suman1315]

Exactly my thoughts. He is fluid on the drum

[@NamaAkuMoro]

I see the same thing too

[@Telepuzique]

he's been playing it ten years straight. why wonder?

[@XXXCRSPL]

Incredible sound and drumming holy smokes that was a real treat!!

Compared to Junna's cover, he's super chill! lol

Never misses a note, never plays out of sync, this man is a machine

Yes Amazing drumer bro

[@blakenunndrums]

Muscle memory, flawless technique, and *relaxed* A true master of his craft! Uttermost respect!

[@MonillaTV]

Hey I am Mike Wolff, I mixed/mastered this playthrough version of the song. Reading all those lovely comments almost brings tears to my eyes. Thank you all for watching/listening to this. Thank you all for enjoying the amazing drumming of Gee! And especially grateful for being able to work on this track :)

Nice work!

Same man! I'm a Drummer myself and i was like how the f*ck did he so that ?!? I can't even do it two handed :( :DD

I love the fact that Gee is almost ALWAYS smiling in the videos he shares here or when he's streaming on twitch. 😁💖🤘

[@rhoneranger549]

I love his Twitch channel! He is always smiling and greets everyone!

[@Hi_IM_JAYE]

@@rhoneranger549 Yes, he does. I watch gees twitch. I just lurk.

...and not releasing a single sweat drop after 8 minutes of fire drumming 🔥

[@mellamohonas]

I'd be smiling the entire time I played drums too if I were that good

[@renatosabato]

Is it only me that think that this version shows how Gee has improved his skills considerably over the years? He was great on the first video, but I believe this one is even better!

[@ridingwithsam]

He makes it looks absolutely effortless now with his own flair.

[@matrug0078]

I mean, after 10 years of playing this song he's got to be better right? But yeah, an amazing drummer

[@renatosabato]

@@matrug0078 actually, no. After 10 years, you can just get old. Specially at this level of drumming, you might not endure a lot

[@saarbanger2]

Saw him yesterday with Dragonforce...amazing. This energy is great. Thx a lot from Saarbrücken

[@TLAudioMixingMastering]

I mean, I GUESS he's alright ;) Nothing better than a drummer having fun playing drums. Just the happiest person at any show.

[@diode_wow]

Most artists would hate their "big hit" song after a year. Dragonforce has been embracing TTFAF since I was in highschool.

[@twikie258]

It's like they have only one song to perform haha

[@bxzll]

so they should haha it’s a masterpiece

[@MrClarkisgod]

@@twikie258 One hit wonders tour all the time. And they play THE SONG at the end every time. If they played it first, people would just leave.

[@danielfennessey]

Well, it still slaps.

Through the Fire and Flames and Memes we carry on!

[@paldian_3195]

A prime example of a master Musician whos honed his skills over the years

[@alessandromauri6735]

The beautiful thing of this perfect performance, is how happy he looks...he has a smile during the whole song, the pure joy of playing such a good song, that's amazing, i love it!

[@volrath__]

Ya know what's awesome to see?? That you still obviously have so much fun playing this song! Everything from the added accents, to the stick tricks and the singing along and smiling throughout... It all just screams that even though you have played this song hundreds of times, had a whole career defined by this one song, that there is still joy in it! So many bands and artists end up hating their most popular creations, it's nice to see someone still able to have fun with it!

[@RaeizHamed]

Great cover. He should play for the @DragonForce

[@cicciograzioano]

Ciao a tutti. Abbiamo grandissimi musicisti grandi mostri ma tutti fuori Italia perchè questo genere qui non piace molto. Comunque grande Band e grande Gee

[@dominicscreativefilms]

I swear, there is nothing more wholesome than seeing how happy Gee is while he's killing it on the drums. Amazing job man.

[@DaRealV]

I'm loving how happy he looks, his smiles are the best. Great vibes!

[@AA-nu9de]

Gee & Junna could make a band on their own. They both have the Force & the Joy to express it. Both are Legends. 😎😍😎😍😎🌹

[@TayTayKemp]

Gee was meant to be in dragonforce. He’s honestly the best thing to ever happen to that band after the original lineup 🤘🏻

[@Firefrostdrums]

Agreed, he is a beast 🔥

[@throwdown47]

To be so relaxed and play this just shows how much of a beast he is That ending edit is epic!!! 10 years

[@roblaskowski1030]

I've watch a lot of drummers try to drum this song. This was pure pleasure to watch the master play his song! Bravo!!!

[@pfg72]

I always get goosebumps when in the presence of raw talent, and this is no exception. You're truly awesome! Cheers from Patagonia!

[@l0chj3ss]

The flashback at the end to his original cover was an awesome touch.

[@MrDerushingo]

The contrast between the old video and this one is so cool to watch. 10 years ago Gee looked not exactly tense but very eager to impress and now he just seems content and happy with what he achived so far. I wish Gee at least another 10 years and hopefully even more success and happyness!

[@monkeybutt448]

I love how relaxed he is and how he looks like he is having fun

[@SleeplessSwan7]

Not particularly a fan of DF, but a HUGE fan of Gee. Always brings out monstrous performances and makes them look so effortless.

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

You basically wrote my comment. He’s a beast. Everything is flawless and looks effortless.I can think of 1-10 drummers who could take lessons.Lars cough,cough.

[@pepone1988]

He always looks so happy when playing drums ☺️

[@igdrums8707]

Great performance. And I want to notice 2 things. 1. The control of the volume is great. Some drummers make loud hits on snare when play slow and when they get faster the volume goes down and you don't hear blast beats and fills. But here the drummer plays in the same dynamics and volume so you can hear all the fills and hits and nothing loses in a mix. 2. The strength of playing. The drummer doesn't hit very hard. And I think it is mostly becuase of the touring experience when you must save strenght to play the full show. So you must control power and speed not to get tired very soon. Great performance of the real master! Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us!

[@Quiiice]

This double kick is so amazing to me. Great vid!

[@dragonpup1]

I swear Gee looks like he would make the perfect cup of coffee every single time and he would say the secret is love ❤

[@luisjbdlb]

Jesus playing the drums!!! This guy is insane on the drums, how relaxed he is playing these fast beats, he’s always smiling…

[@michelphilips8721]

Gee Anzalone 10 years later: the story of a great drummer progressing to Epic level. The carefree way you do this, the variation you put in and most of all the fun you have while doing it is so fantastic to see and hear. The amount of work and dedication you put in to constantly hone your already impressive skills is truly amazing. The 'thing' about you was once the way you got into the band, but you've proven a long time ago your story goes way beyond that. Keep on doing what you do and bring an equally genuine smile to a lot of people's faces!!!!

[@rogerjones6033]

And you know as a drummer when you've reached the pinnacle of "epic" is when you not only have signature drum sticks "Promark Drum Sticks: 5B Model Gee Anzalone DragonForce" like most other endorsed pros, but custom made signature "Czarcie Kopyto "‘Supreme’" Kick Drum Pedals - DragonForce Limited Edition" kick pedals!!!

[@TheDakirZ]

This is the authentic drum cover you've looking for. I'm always feels amazed when the original band members playing their own song!!!

[@galaxybrainkid1222]

So relaxed while getting good sound, staying perfectly in time, and having fun (dug the rabdom crossover on the first 2 toms). Such a good example of what I love about drumming!

[@nomia6383]

Guys come to Twitch to see him in action too. He streams drums when he's healthy and it's nice to come and support him

[@chiengnee1]

What is his twitch account name?

[@Stoicbirch]

It's really hard to watch this without smiling, Gee has a strong force of personality. (And an even stronger sense of timing and consistency, hot damn.)

[@ikhajiitmypants]

The bit on the double kicks starting at 1:40 is incredible

[@pikiwiki]

the tempo changes. The comping. Have never heard this level of play. Stunned
