Drum Teacher Reacts: JOSH EPPARD | Coheed And Cambria LIVE - 'In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3'

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

This is what it's all about. This is still a very new drummer for me. And a new band for me. I love this. Before making these videos. Before YOUR requests... honestly.. I'd have never listened to this. Now I'm a fan of so many new players/bands. I'm very humbled to receive a lot of messages saying I have introduced them to new music also. Incredible. Thank you all for the support and the great suggestions! PEACE!

[@JohnnyBNerdy]

Welcome to the fandom; now you have to go get your own Keywork tat and it's official!! :D

[@nicocrinkleburg]

I have watched this reaction many times.. excellent live video, excellent reaction, just epic all-round.. love reminiscing with this “first time hearing”. More Coheed, please mate 😉 Edit- Perhaps even from the same set - the sound on this live performance is top-notch! ❤

[@mikeydubbs8565]

Fairly new to your channel, so I’m not sure if you’ve talked about Richard Christy; The Flesh and the Power It Holds by the band Death showcases Christy’s skills. His favorite band happens to be Coheed And Cambria, also. Full circle!

[@Valdercorn]

The feeling of being in the crowd for a Coheed show when In Keeping Secrets is played is electric. Josh has been one of my favourite drummers for a long time because he's always so musical with what he plays

[@bradyard3875]

Just watching the live song gives me chills. Such an incredible song and being in the crowd is unreal. If you like Coheed and haven't been to a concert, do anything you can to go.

[@Valdercorn]

@@bradyard3875 I've seen them at least a dozen times and it's always such a great experience

[@metalshiflet7826]

I've seen a lot of bands in concert, and while I wouldn't say Coheed was absolutely the best, In Keeping Secrets was the best song

[@duttdits]

Being in that crowd all of us singing together gives me physical chills every time. One among the fence. 🤘❤️

[@josephmassey3327]

Best feeling about seeing them live. The crowd is always so chill and we are all just loving every second of it. When he said a child in the front row… hell yeah because coheed fans are respectful!

[@imperfectious]

They let the crowd sing the choruses when I saw them a few weeks ago. The energy in those moments is intense.

[@duttdits]

@@imperfectious I saw them in Indy with Primus last month. Epic!

[@imperfectious]

@duttdits Please tell me how Primus was, I beg you. I took my 13 year old daughter because Coheed is her favorite band (thanks to me playing them incessantly), and she didn't want to stay for Primus. I snagged the Les Claypool box set on vinyl a few months ago, and I fell in love all over again. His live cover of Pink Floyd's Animals album is insane. Also, did Puddles Pity Party open at your show? I was legit impressed with his set.

[@duttdits]

@@imperfectious Primus was freaking incredible. It was definitely a Primus crowd and not a Coheed crowd. Les is freaking godlike on bass. It's easily the most technically impressive bassist I've ever seen live. Played a standard bass, 6 string bass, fretless bass, and standup bass with a violin bow throughout the night. He put on a latex pig mask for the stand up bass. Came out and did an epically long encore too. Too Many Zooz opened for us. They were a Trumpet, Sax, and Percussion band with no singer. The brass instruments did the lyrical melodies. They were actually really impressive. The guy on the sax was insanely talented. I'm jealous you got Puddles! He's so good!

[@_uohaloran]

The enthusiastic playing covers the price of admission. The energy coming back from the crowd on IKSSE:3 just fuels that wild man.

[@rignmortis]

1st time hearing Coheed And Cambria. I'm 68 YO was listening to Sabbath, Zeppelin etc Thanks for this and to your subscribers, enjoyed it immensely.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks for listening! Glad you've discovered it along with me

I've seen Coheed 15 times... been on their cruise twice. They have some amazing music, and youll find they pay tribute to a lot of bands in song styling.

Josh is a phenomenal drummer. Good Apollo is one of the best drummed albums I've ever heard. Perfect use of a China. I've played that album start to finish at least 1000 times. Literally taught me how to play the drums. So glad he got clean and came back. Can't waste talent like that

[@Ddeamorin]

This whole album is worth a listen coheed are a different breed something new everytime I listen jumps out .

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

🙌

[@mschultz90]

Coheed is my favorite band all time. I firmly believe they are my generations Rush. For the combination of storytelling and technical musicianship. They deserve to be up among the greats.

[@mikeydubbs8565]

Yeah, same. I don’t care about comics in general, but I’ve (puts pirate hat on) read them, but I do feel like it’s worth the $40 I’d be willing to spend a month to collect.

Eppard recorded this entire album without a metronome from memory, he was the metronome.

[@DudeReally3]

We COTF are, at the same time, outrageous and controlled. The energy of the crowd at any of their shows is almost zealot in intensity. Josh is an outstanding drummer. He keeps up on every fill and roll while maintaining the progressive style that the band foundationally is. It's my favorite kind of music, by my favorite band. Please cover more!

[@garretnordlund1979]

The Coheed rabbit hole is very very deep but immensely worth it. Ive been listening for the better part of 20 years and they just keep getting better. Truly magical how good they are. Glad you like them!

[@KyleS.1987]

Josh is one of my favorite drummers. He always looks like he's having a blast playing live.

[@philiom7724]

Living the dream.

[@krisnorman9254]

I have seen coheed 5 times and I love Josh. I've seen the drumeo video so many times. I also got the pleasure to see them play gravitys Union and the crowd went wild and loved every moment ❤

[@rtripp25]

Music impacts everyone in different ways, and the end where the audience takes over is just so incredible!!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yeah man. This is freaking awesome

[@Mysticalturkey]

I always feel at home at a Coheed show. Feels like family. I love coming together at the end of In keeping secrets and signing with the whole venue. Been my favorite band for so many years. I'm glad that they're finally getting recognition. Thank you for covering them.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Love that! I’m digging it

[@jebadiahfyefye8994]

This album changed my life 20 years ago. Thank god these guys opened for AFI back in the day.

[@wishiwascooler]

I remember going to Warped Tour in 2004 and looking up some bands that were going to be there and they stood out because I thought the name sounded cool. Loved them ever since!

[@theglutton100]

Yep nashville

[@thefrozengoat]

Josh Eppard has been my actual, legitimate favorite drummer since 2002 when I first heard Coheed. Have been a DIEHARD fan ever since, and was so bummed out when he took a hiatus from the band. Now that he has been back for a number of years it really sounds like it. All hail the sophisticated gorilla that is Josh Eppard behind the drums!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I feel he has that effect on people. He becomes their fave drummer!

[@thefellduck]

First time seeing video of this live performance. So epic. Josh and the rest of the band are so amazing

[@raggis8738]

That song live is such an experience! The energy is just amazing. Josh just makes it look so fun!

[@benfrank8649]

I love yelling "man your own jackhammer"

[@ForeverMasterless]

This song is the only time I've ever been at a concert and had the crowd completely overpower the sound system. You haven't lived until you've been in a crowd of thousands all screaming MAN YOUR OWN JACKHAMMER as loud as they fucking can.

[@yutub561]

I've seen them live twice and they are so incredible. the energy for this song is unmatched. i couldnt keep from crying from the feeling. fun fact you may be interested to know, all their members have other gigs too. josh happens to be a rapper under the name weerd science. super cool band

[@summatsnotright]

Coheed are one of my all time favourite bands and I am stoked that you're getting into Josh's drumming! Listen to Good Apollo if you get the chance, it's an incredible album.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Can’t wait!

Definitely one of my all time favorite drummers. He has a KZbin channel and did some in studio playthroughs from their last album. I would recommend the Ladders of Supremecy playthrough

[@cecilkeith1951]

Guys and gals, there's a video of Josh going through a few Coheed songs and his positivity and energy is beautiful.

[@sigurdunset]

There's actually somewhat of a drummer nerd easter egg in this song. In the main riff (beginning, choruses and ending) Eppard subtly adds these crazy hi hat pedal patterns where he alternates between fourths and eight notes in between the kicks, pausing every other bar. I don't know if he does this live, but I vividly remember my friends and I totally geeking out over it when we first got this record over twenty years ago. I've never really heard anyone do that, neither before nor since, and it adds a layer of complexity (or quirkiness as he might call it) to the song. Fantastic drummer.

[@rsz273]

That hi hat work on the recorded version is so subtle but so awesome, always stood out to me, glad I wasn’t the only one to notice!

[@better.better]

"mouthing the words" nah, he says he's gasping for air. Josh goes hard.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

HAHA! Both I think

[@imperfectious]

Saw these absolute CHAMPIONS in Big Flats, NY a few weeks ago. Utter facemelting.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I bet!

[@imperfectious]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums I get so starstruck in these rare moments when the creator responds to my comment. Too cool, cheers!

[@chelfyn]

Coheed has been my favourite band for the past 12 or so years. Endlessly creative, super deep lyrical universe, incredible playing. They have it all. Almost all of their albums are sci-fi concept albums set in a singular universe, spread over a huge timespan. There are comics, a book and there's a lot of hope for a movie. If you end up with a coheed tattoo, I'll fly up to Auvckland and buy you a beer!

[@neurodadvirgent]

I've been a fan since around '02 when I first heard this album. Josh had left and Chris from Dillinger Escape Plan was drumming then(fantastic as well) but the thing I've always loved and still do about Josh aside from his skill is how much joy and feeling he expresses when he plays. Check out some of their acoustic songs where even with just a shaker/maraca-type instrument he's still just feeling it. Love the video and will forever love Coheed.

[@MegaMezmerize]

This is one of those performances where.... if you don't get goosebumps, seriously check for a pulse

[@imperfectious]

No fewer than seven masterpiece albums from these GOATs.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

7!?

[@imperfectious]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums By my count, no doubt: 1. In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 2. Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV 3. No World for Tomorrow 4. The Year of the Black Rainbow 5. The Afterman (Ascension & Descention, considered as a whole) 6. The Unheavenly Creatures 7. Vaxis II

[@rtripp25]

8. Second Stage Turbine Blade Id probably pass on YOTBR, but to each their own. Couple of good bangers on there!

[@imperfectious]

@rtripp25 YotBR is a far better representation of prog. The techniques used on the album have a wider range than their freshman effort. I like SSTB, but I'd hardly deem it on the same tier as their other work.

[@rtripp25]

@@imperfectious I definitely get that!

[@garettyoung2267]

The crowing is one of the best songs ever made.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

He's fantastic

[@benfrank8649]

Same! I don't know why he's not on the cover of modern drummer or things. They've been a huge band for a long time he gets overlooked, one of my top prog guys

[@winstonhewett6679]

Josh reminds of Bill Ward, from early Black Sabbath! Rarely does he hit a drum or cymbal, and the stick NOT go behind his head!!!

[@t3hi84n2g]

I was at this show, it was insanely hot that day. I had to leave before they could finish their set because of it. I saw the rest later and was so bummed I missed it since the second half has some of my favorite songs of theirs but this was one of the last songs I saw and the crowd had so much energy.

[@92silverman]

Coheed is GOAT status. This band is just so good

[@SunshineHB]

I’ve seen this twice. Once at the Wiltern in LA, and once at a big outdoor show. The energy in the air was electric both times. One of the most amazing feelings I have ever experienced being around other humans. ❤

[@TheDaveCarChannel]

it should be a crime how under rated coheed and cambria are

[@robstout5871]

All of them are very talented hot damm

[@loki210]

It's interesting that you mention technicality vs. musicianship because for the brief time Josh wasn't in the band and Chris Pennie from The Dillinger Escape Plan joined, it was an obvious shift because Pennie's playing was pretty much 100% technical and it drastically changed the bands sound. Not in a bad way necessarily but very noticeably.

[@cecilkeith1951]

Parts of his playing add so much to The Black Rainbow but man, I can't stand the kick drum playing of Chris.

[@donnelson6694]

Josh is a beast. So solid, powerful and fluid.

[@cotfdevin]

Oh man. I was at this show, it was incredible!!! Great video

[@joshuabarnett88]

Love seeing my boy Devin in the crowd 😅 where he always is. 4:28

[@pchasco]

This is an old recording. They are all even better now. Josh for his part, has gotten much fitter and healthier, and his playing is better too.

[@jonathandemeris]

That's what I'd call a "freaking good live prestation if I've ever seen one" damn It's a BIG one (my call, just in the line above. And yes, I can hear you Mr. Carell) Sounds incredibly good AND we can hear the crowd too and I find this good to hear too Man raging behind the drum machine knows where his place(ment) is ! Looks so grounded to earth yet having his head in his own world but he's still here in the momentum Singer - guitarist and guitarist are sooo much into a musical discussion damn And the bassist is locked in too Cleeeaaan a.f. what a powerful, yet so precise, in the pocket and emotionaly build up song too, in the way of composing and playing it, what a first for me too on this band :) and what a way to do it Nice reaction as always ! Keep it up Good Sir !

[@dschlopes2734]

Absolute best live band on earth... If you want to see Josh's chops, check out "Warm up before the Coheed show in Texas" that was posted by Josh himself. He has an INSANE right foot. I have never, ever heard anyone that fast on a single bass. Seriously, I guarantee that you will love it.

[@better.better]

"universe" you mean😂

[@hoerstle6636]

I always get the feeling that he kinda aligns his drumming to the beat of the singing/lyrics somehow and therefore connects lyrics and music via his drumming...

I think you've reacted to Richard Christie before... he loves this band so much that when they had a 2 night 8 hour concert where they played all of their songs he wore a diaper so he could get hammered and never miss a song to take a piss. When they came back again he missed one of his best friends weddings to piss in a diaper at a show he's already seen.

I've watched this entire concert SO MANY TIMES. The audio isn't the greatest (it reminds me of my audience-recorded Phish bootlegs), but it's so damn good. C&C Stone Pony Summer Stage. EDIT: If you go to a C&C concert and they don't play this, you leave a little bit bummed out. Singalongs are the best. They have an Instagram post of the singalong part from the Tabernacle in Atlanta from several months ago (I'm writing this 3/21/24). I wish I could remember the exact date, but it's the best IKSOSE:3 singalong part I'm ever seen.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Love the live footage

[@MikeP2055]

@AndrewRooneyDrums I found that Instagram post from Atlanta! Scroll down to May, 21st, 2023. (Or 21, May, 2023, as the rest of the world says, haha.) I just watched it 5 more times. I get chills at the end every single time. I'm off to the Alkaline Trio show in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, to watch Atom Willard drum! We play the exact same DW clear acrylic kit. (Well, probably not **exactly** the same, haha.) Take care, mate.

[@dschlopes2734]

Also, Coheed is even better than you might realize right now. They can play ANY genre and do it seamlessly. I have never heard a band with as much range and versatility. They also have GENIUS lyrics and an amazing concept that goes with all the music. I'm telling you, if you are someone that isn't turned off by Claudio's vocals (some are instantly for some reason) and did into their discography you will be amazed. The vocals or vocal style rather is the only thing that keeps some people from not loving them... I have never heard anyone criticize them for any other reason.

Right hand drummer playing/leading with left hand. Big part, I think you missed. 👌Things I like: the band been through a few line-ups with, heads or tails, better musicians. No line-up compares. He plays to the music, and doesn't over play. He keeps the time without the rushing of the later line-ups. Its proof that not just anyone, no matter how good you are, can just step in. (this line-up is the good one)

[@JohnnyBNerdy]

I don't know what Ryan means by "trashcan ending" of the track; everything sounds right

[@_worksonmymachine]

A trash can ending is one where there’s a big wrap-up to a high-energy song. The entire band powers out on the last chord, some members wildly riffing on their instruments, everyone playing with lots of energy, the drummer doing rolls on the drums, and so on, until the cut off.

[@rtripp25]

Just wanted to make sure that Andrew got to the true ending of the song.

[@garretnordlund1979]

it's the fake ending, the song takes a decent break and that's where they absolutely crush it in live shows and it leads up to the actual ending

[@Drumsholic]

Great band but i never thought that they are have so much big audience!!Thats awesome!!!Also their drummer is very good and tasty but he didn't something extend than his role in the song he leads the song as every drummer must be!

[@TheDmoe4000]
