[@WeerdScienceTV]

Oh dip! And you liked it! Even better! Cymbals are turned up because I crash so much that I like to limit the flop. And also I have no clue what I’m doing lol. That ride in particular was way dryer that I’m used to. 22 inch kick. All natural sound because…. I’m 44. When I came up, you had to hit the drums and make them speak. That gets lost a lot nowadays imo.

[@rtripp25]

The man himself! Love your work, Josh! IKSSE3 is coming soon.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yo!!! New fan here. Love your style bro! 🤯🥁💯🙌

[@Knives3057]

Josh, your work has always been amazing, but it seems like your playing out of your mind on Vaxis II, it's the best part of a top tier album. Thank you so much for playing the drums for us all. And please do more of these videos with the commentary!

[@Thumpdizzle]

@weerdsciencetv Josh it's so rad to see you out here just checking out stuff like this, and interacting with others. Don't ever change, dude.

[@masonclark2877]

Saw Coheed live last year in Birmingham AL and Josh @WeerdScienceTV smacks that snare with sooooo much power I loved it so much and they are great live especially little messing around in between songs with Claudio on the keyboard

[@danielgould-werth4553]

Hands down favorite drummer. Josh’s playing has always had detailed nuances to his playing. He stated that he also is very hands on when setting up on tour. Not just relying on the techs.

[@arsonne]

He's the man. I met him on Neverender and he's a super cool dude. You can see just how insanely hard this dude hits in these videos too. Awesome

[@ScottXC91]

I’ve borderline idolized Coheed since 2005. So damn near 20 years. They’re such a wonderfully organic and tight band. They’re just phenomenal.

[@JeffreyMcLain]

I know this is late - but yeah, I've been a fan since '03. They're so delightful. Can't wait to catch them on their current tour. Hope you're well, COTF!

[@jakefarmsteak]

Josh is one of the most unique and groovy drummers in the world! Love his play through videos

[@hughneutron5303]

i remember coheed was the band that made me have that light bulb moment with how important dynamics and space are. one of the few bands that changes their sound pretty much every album and it's ALWAYS good

[@rtripp25]

Andrew! Thank you so much for doing my request! Love this band!!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

LOVE THIS

[@zacvotruba8374]

Yes love Coheed!! Would love to see him do “In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3” as well!

[@rtripp25]

​@@zacvotruba8374ask and you shall receive!

[@TimeToCrash88]

Coheed and Cambria have been my favourite band for nearly 20 years, and while every member of the band, past and present, have been incredible, Josh has always felt like the heart of Coheed. Whenever you hear him talk about the band and project they are working on, he always sounds like the biggest fan of what they are doing. He stepped away from the band for a while and was replaced with Chris Pennie, with Taylor Hawkins recording one of the albums due to contractual issues, and Chris is an animal behind the kit, he just wasn't Coheed, Josh is. I've also met the band a handful of times and all of them are absolute sweethearts, always happy to see fans and have a quick chat before kicking ass on the stage. I'm so glad to see him getting some love here!

[@Mysticalturkey]

Coheed is my favorite band as well. Since 7th grade and I'm 31 now. Got to see them on the last stop of the tour this year in LA and it was fantastic.

[@xfactorstl]

Dude I was literally about to come and comment “If Claudio is the brains of Coheed and Cambria, Josh is no doubt the heart”. Coheed did not “feel” the same while he stepped away.

[@ckslade0]

Exqctly Josh knows how to allow that pop bounce ebb and flow to each instrument and each hit. 🔥truly blessed to have him as a part of Coheed.

[@joegaster34]

Josh is definitely one of my favorite drummers ever. I love his style and his setup. I'm definitely a simple man when it comes to playing drums, and Josh is a master when it comes to making the most out of what you have. He inspires my playing in a big way.

[@pukkoku]

I've been on a Josh binge since Drumeo posted their hour long interview with him last week. Was happy to discover his personal channel and these playthroughs. I hope you get the chance to watch the Drumeo interview, and I also wanted to say thank you for the tip about relaxing your jaw. Not that I'm a drummer, but the moment you said that, I realized that I had my teeth clenched for literally no reason!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup more on the way!

[@Swollen_Goat]

So glad you got to this! Josh is a beast. Honestly, Coheed not only met, but EXCEEDED my expectations on this most recently album. Just another reason that they are a phenomenon band.

[@gramarsuperstar]

They grow so much with every record...such a dope band

[@joshuabarnett88]

Josh is an amazing drummer, and person. Hes genuine and will talk your ear off if you give him the chance to. In addition to his drumming, I'd suggest giving a signal boost to his other project, Drum Set Confessional. He's dealt with addiction a lot in his life and creates DSC to give people a platform to be open about their addiction and recovery.

[@ecurepair]

broke my heart to not hear this transition in to Rise, Naianasha

[@chelfyn]

The final three songs on this album have to played together in my household. It's the law.

[@RedentSC]

'hell wakes you up choking, and you feel so afraid' 😭😭

[@applelandry4233]

what i like about Josh's playing is, many moons ago i heard him talking about influences/growing up playing along to feel-based/nuanced (but not in your face technicality) music like Sly & The Family Stone, and he liked the single pedal and open handed playing because having a good feel was super important to him...I love it and even now, his parts always sound like it was written specifically to compliment the music being played by the band & section of the song. nothing but love for this man

[@rtripp25]

The fill at the end of the phrase in Andrew's video from 6:26-6:34 just kicks so hard every time!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup. Seriously good stuff

[@ScruffySqueegee]

Groovy doesnt even begin to describe Josh. Hes just an absolute BEAST

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

🙌

[@chromedome999]

LOOOOOOOVE Coheed! Highly recommend you check out the other video he did of "Rise, Naianasha." It's the song that follows Ladders on the album and continues a bit of that beat at the end

[@MikeP2055]

Josh is one of a kind. You should do a reaction video to Josh's reaction video of these playthroughs.

[@dankerr2828]

Good shout to make a video on Josh he is my favourite drummer, along with Will Bowerman from Brontide. But Josh has so many tasty drum parts he's written over the past 20 odd years and Coheed spans so many genres. Best band.

[@dankerr2828]

You ever seen another drummer perform visually to Josh's level? If so please tell me!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yeah this is outstanding

[@Alex-Grt]

He’s a mixture between a left and a right handed drummer… very interesting 🔥💪🏼

[@SFUPodcast]

Josh has been one of my biggest influences on drums since 2003.

[@tonyivey9827]

I dig whats going on in the air between the notes

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

💯👌

[@andrewrobertson179]

AHHHH I’m so glad you’ve reacted to Josh…he did plenty of these for the new record. Can’t wait til you see him do Love Murder One. That groove is amazing

[@FizzGiGG55123]

My fav band. Josh and the rest of Coheed are just great people too.

[@CrrackTheSkye]

I have a stick I caught at a coheed concert, but I think it was 2008, so it wouldn't have been josh I'm pretty sure. Love their sound and creativity

[@vaxis2113]

Taylor Hawkins also helped record the drums on one of their records Good Apollo I’m Burning Star IV: No World For Tomorrow. Josh left the band due to a chemical dependency and Coheed needed a drummer. Since Josh has come back he still nails the songs he didn’t write.

[@alexgolovchenko3791]

That was really, really cool! I like the song very much. It kind of reminds me of a band from the late eighties called Fate's Warning.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup I did a vid on Fate's Warning!

[@mikehendricks2990]

I am not a drummer, but it seems a lot of drummers are time keepers only, there to keep the frame work for the band to create in. Josh is like a surfer, he doesn’t seem to build a frame work, he lives within the waves. Again I have no musical background so I know nothing, but it just makes sense in my mind . Haha My favorite drummer and my favorite band.

[@NikkLiberos]

Thanks for this on 11:12. I couldn't shake that thought throughout the video.

[@MrDportjoe]

To borrow from a friends lyric twist on Spirit in the Sky "Never been a drummer, I've drummed but I gotta friend Ringo". That aside are there are some drummers who build 'stick tricks' into some songs as a time keeper? Sure seems that way watching Haruna in the Lovebites live video for Liar Liar.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

👌

[@EpicEmilyyx3]

They are so good live. If you have a chance to see them, DO IT!

[@mybrotherjames8579]

Had the opportunity to buy Josh’s premier genx set used on, I think, the first 2 albums in the early 2000’s. Unfortunately didn’t pull the trigger as I had just bought a new premier set.

[@MLTHLA]

Not a big fan of this genre of music but he absolutely nailed this, wonderfully clean. Big props!

[@hughneutron5303]

dig through coheed's catolog then. they change genre A LOT!!!!!! chances are they're something you're gonna groove with

[@sintaxera]

​@@hughneutron5303yeah, the album before this one was 100% bangers and I played this one once and didn't like it at all. Their first 4 albums are in my top 20 for sure.

[@restricttheopennotes]

​@@sintaxerathat's so funny cause i found Vaxis 1 hard to get through and Vaxis 2 full of bangers. Additionally I also have those first 4 records in my top 20( SSTB is my #1)

[@jangles1839]

My dude is smacking the 💩 outta that kit like somebody took his lunch money in the 3rd grade! He's truly a groove type drummer! No matter the song, he's gonna find a way to put some funk in it! Awesome pick! 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼

[@erikbrodsho6339]

You Gotta check out his playthrough of The Crowing from his Drumeo interview!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I look forward to it!

[@donnelson6694]

I'm not familiar with Josh but wow, that was quite nice!

[@j.d.4697]

I adore his grooves.

[@jacobmcclure5308]

my fav song on the album!!

[@TheMatadrum]

Love a Sunday night vid from old mate Rooney. 😁

[@TheMatadrum]

Also, the playthrough was way weird. Strange setup and the guy looked like he was smashing MDMA 🤣

[@NathanALee]

As someone who idolized metal drummers for a long time, he won me over through time, especially when they had chris penne and the soul of the band felt like it was gone. Sure dude is a technical drummer but that feel was gone for those albums, the new albums have such a good feel because of josh

[@andrewbarrett6403]

Coheed Cambria also had Chris Penny for a short while who is one of my favorite drummers he is the original drummer for the band the Dillinger escape plan you should check out some of his videos

[@wolframreactor74]

Lots of space….love it

[@donfinch862]

I heard Phil Collins' Sussudio was his mental "song" to a drum track? I enjoy your posts Andrew, cheers

[@Posirep]

Wait til you learn Josh is actually a phenomenal rapper who has released 5 albums as a hip hop artist as a side gig to being a drummer in a prog band lol

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

WTH!?

[@TimeToCrash88]

Can confirm, goes by Weerd Science, it's really good!@@AndrewRooneyDrums

[@FizzGiGG55123]

watch his Drumeo interview. Super cool

[@shannonbiggers3312]

Claudio writes it. Josh brings it to life.

[@mattmartino5287]

Josh has a very active role in the band

[@gonavylife]

Master of the double on the single #FTW!!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

BOOM

[@La_sagne]

noone plays like him.. super weird, but super cool

[@Alex-Grt]

His shells are 22/12/16“

[@kylec1411]

this band is sicker than covid. And more real.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

🤘

[@DrBob66]

Love Coheed

[@winstonhewett6679]

He's a left handed drummer, other than Ian Pace, you don't see many of them. Unlike Ian though, Josh keeps his Hi-Hat in the normal right handed position!

[@BurpleRX7]

Oh now you have opened a worm hole! Wait until you dig deeper into this back catalogue

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Can’t wait!

[@Dotarux]

I see Coheed i hit like

[@kiddrage12]

He has more videos on his channel you should check out

[@lagunablade383]

if you play ladders, rise should follow and end with windows lmao

[@Theogvineofthedead]

Just re watched and bro im so excited for you because this isn't even close to a real representation of Joshs abilities and style. Their older music has some of the real jems. And even anything from the last album. This is just kind of slow and not a true representation of his drum style. I really hope you go on to listening to other classic Josh eppard playthroughs and see his range. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGfJhoahiKqFhNUsi=HxYjTPoeBS_INgER even this from the same jam session is so so so much more epic and I know you would love to see it

[@nathanbraun2067]

ladders of supremacy is from the last album

[@Shabutie554]

Josh is sooooo good. Groovy as it gets

[@Theogvineofthedead]

Btw you are obviously one amongst the fence, just for knowing that Josh needs to have his mouth agape otherwise its not real 😅

[@Ddeamorin]

Odd song choice from them but gotta love coheed

[@La_sagne]

isnt every coheed song an odd song? 😅

[@Ddeamorin]

@@La_sagne touche'

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

LOVE IT

[@Theogvineofthedead]

Thanks for reacting to any song other than welcome home. Although I would suggest listening to something from an earlier album just because its their best work but for real its nice having someone react to something other than that one boring overplayed song 😅 trust me im a decades long huge fan of this band and its irritating that no one listens to the velorium campers or the willing wells and same with other bands like The Dear Hunter or bayside. Check out coheeds back library its phenominal

[@dracdrum]

I GoPro-ed a song in a gig (its here on KZbin on my channel,) and I realized in at least this song, I subconsciously hum during some of the parts. Much to my dismay it was out of tune ROFL. Sound quality isn't great either (a testament to how bad stage sound can be at bar gigs... check at your own risk for the laugh at least.)

[@thehannomeiring]

got some leprous vibes... but pulled back

[@iane4735]

Who the f**k is Josh eppard? 😂😂😂

[@Theogvineofthedead]

Samples make me want to puke 😅 not trying to win favor i just hate electonic music, it lacks nuance of tone 😅
