[@JamesKnoerl]

Man, super fun to watch! Glad ya dig it! Sorry for the brutality of two people with incredibly difficult last names to pronounce. Aviations is doing a bunch of new album ramp up stuff this year and so I did playthrus for all the upcoming singles! Thanks for subscribing to the band! Yeah, you nailed it! Berklee College of Music grad from 2015! I’ve been touring and recording ever since. I’ve been fortunate to be able play with a lot of rock metal bands such as Threat Signal, Native Construct, Faceless, Satyr, Aviations, Abiotic, and Irist! Right now I’m on tour with Oni opening with Megadeth in Canada, so this will be a fun thing to show the band dudes! When I’m on not on tour I’m based in NYC where I do a lot of recording from studio and drink a lot of coffee. :) Cheers! Thanks again!

[@MikeKobb]

Dude. Killer. You have a new fan.

[@tomasjaramillores]

Dude you’re a monster player!!!

[@Edymos1000]

And you definitely got chops to hold it down for them, especially native construct and abiotic. Heard some NASTY drumming from those 2 in particular. Keep it going, all love

[@wxmaggot5669]

I'm a new fan. Amazing!

[@jimbofitzpatrick7444]

I can tell everyone here, that as someone who shared a rehearsal space wall with James for a few years - he's the real deal. He can play all sorts of styles, and does them all beautifully. :D This song rules!!!

[@jangles1839]

James is the type of drummer that I refer to as an "everything drummer".... you think of it as it pertains to drumming... James can do it... and better than textbook! This was superb and literally perfection! 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼

[@JamesKnoerl]

Thank you for the kind words! ❤

[@peperonikiller]

These guys have big love for the react community. I enjoy their presence on your channel!

[@JamesKnoerl]

It’s always a treat to watch people enjoy the stuff! 😊

[@driftwood4625]

Dude has a lifetime of cool fills in one song.

[@JamesKnoerl]

Haha thanks! :)

[@danielmolenda2073]

Yes, I like the way that drum kit sound and just the way he plays it’s insane. His hands are fast and I like the choices of the symbols. He puts a lot of characters into his drumming in the traces of the time. Signatures are pretty cool by the way thank you for putting this on your podcast.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

So good Daniel!!

[@joseluisjimenezpino4948]

Hi there ! i`m from chili, and i`ve seen this video like a thousand times, i even knwow what andrew says in every part he stops the video xD, i love aviations, and i`m part of a band of rock/metal as well...hope someday we finally can release a video, thanks for doing this , cheers !

[@eugenegohdikern6006]

Not sure if anyone here has already mentioned this, but James also helped play drums for Outrun The Sunlight's album "The Return of Inertia 2.0". Do check that one out too!

[@WutTheMatt]

I love how much fun he's having doing what he loves. It's adds a lot to the playthrough.

[@phildupuis1084]

I've never heard of Aviations before either but they've just gained a new fan. Would love to know how he learned this track and how he keeps it all in his head. Mind-blowing.

[@JamesKnoerl]

I write a lot of the music for this band so , a lot of the rhythms and figures get ingrained in my brain awhile before I even step on the kit to learn it. I also get a lot of great insight from my band mates about what parts would sound with X Y Z things added or removed, so it’s definitely a collaborative effort!

[@phildupuis1084]

@@JamesKnoerl James, thank you very much for the response. I am all the more impressed knowing that you composed this incredible music. I wish you and the band all the success you deserve and you can be sure I will be following your musical journey.

[@wxmaggot5669]

This is why I love quality reaction channels and why I've been here since the start. Your insights are great and I've discovered so many great bands and drummers. This guys cymbal work is next level

[@dwayneregan4118]

Andrew I'd have to agree with you on all counts. This is my first time listening to James too and he has a lot going for himself. Like many arrows in your quiver, stick control, path, dynamics, everything. What a pleasure watching this level of skill, thanks for this video.

[@sanchezzz1]

These are the times I'm happy watching reaction videos for gems like this! I'm looking forward to more in depth listening of James.

[@nathanmcintyre694]

Aviations is such an amazing group!

[@MrMcFattyfat]

Yay! Please do some more from these guys! They're so amazing and they deserve a much larger following than what they have. I'm really hoping their new album will blow up and really put them on the map. If you liked what you heard in this song, i can promise you there's a lot more where that came from.

[@jrex9197]

So inspiring & ridiculous 😅🤘I love that , having"freedom" on the kit. Definitely something to strive for

[@DanSpengler]

I've noticed you reference grunge a lot. I was listening to a mostly overlooked (but extremely good) Rush album from '93 called Counterparts. Ged's vocals aside, the opening track Animate would have been right at home on any of the big rock albums from that time. You should give it a listen, it's probably right up your alley.

[@3L3V3NDRUMS]

Amazing playthrough! Awesome drum skills and great sounding fills! 🤘

[@nicholasnicoletti8253]

Been following Aviations since the beginning (and James too, by proxy) and he's been a beast for a LONG time. Glad that others are finding out and via his own music too!

[@user-ec6ii7om2t]

James is absolutely amazing!!!!! Totally blown away by his talent.

[@loo8353]

Muito, muito bom!! Parabéns ao James pela fodástia execução e arranjo.

[@andreaslundin7935]

When you get the Andy-narly face you know you're home =) =)

Very very nice!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Sounds good David!

[@phillrobinson1517]

absolutely glorious ✊

[@domithedrumster]

Sounds like something Anup Sastry would play, very nice

[@jezm1703]

Extremely good!

[@neonnerd1364]

You should check out the into the earth drum playthrough by Austin archery of Lorna shore.

[@CrrackTheSkye]

Reminds me a lot of Russian Circles, great sound!

[@n-99percentGOD]

@andrewrooneydrums One thing that I always notice, and I've never heard you really comment on how drummers like this guy and Alex Pelltier and Alex Rudinger make the music much more beautiful with their splash cymbals; I've never heard you make a comment on that, just one observation. no biggie. maybe it was something you wanted to keep to yourself to hold onto and not comment about out loud, i could see that. but they definitely do make the music more beautiful with the splashes lol

[@omarcortes5754]

Loved it

[@t3hgir]

James is amazin! chec his live playthrohs of Native Constrct or any of his covers (some eys are not orin on my eyoar rn)

[@wolframreactor74]

I’m catching some Ben Shanbrom-esque level note placement chops on these fills

[@JamesKnoerl]

Not familiar with that but I’ll have to study up!

[@wolframreactor74]

@@JamesKnoerl Ben is the drummer for Earthside. There are 2 reaction of Earthside on Andrew Rooney Drums YT. Enjoy the proggy side
