11:35 Could you please tell Steve to watch his hearing and never do that again… hearing loss, damage, tinnitus and hyperacusis are still such a taboo amongst musicians. As a result many face very difficult problems later in life (or not so late in life… 😞).

Gabe, you have no idea how we appreciate these kind of videos! It's so good to see the whole band and the behind-the-scenes stuff. Brian, Eric, Dylan, Steve and you! There is so much inspiration for me in this video.

I’ve been following you on here since before you joined I Prevail. I remember when you announced it I was so excited because I Prevail was recently added to my daily playlist. All of this to say I really enjoy your content and these Tour Vlogs are amazing. Keep rocking!!!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Wow, thanks for sticking around for so long!

Great to see the behind-the-scenes for this! I was at the Sydney Good Things show - my first time seeing I Prevail. You guys were so good! One of the highlights of my day for sure.

9:45 a body bag POV would be sick, especially in a live setting

[@henrydollar792]

I was front row at this show in Brisbane! Absolutely killed it at both the sideshow and the festival, and Eric drinking from the leg was the cherry on top to a perfect day! I saw you wearing the Gopro and my dreams came true when I knew I was gonna be in a Drum Beats Online vlog. Love from Aus!!!

Did we watch the same video? Humble is not what went down here.

[@KajcheOfficial]

Good Things Brisbane was my second time seeing you guys live and it was once again one of the best moments I think I've ever had. It's always a real treat to see you guys live and it's so good to see the behind the scenes and POV shots of the show!

[@Rad_Akali]

Gabe that made my day!!!! I love those POV's!!! You're such a Diva with those bandaids 😂 jk, this was amazing and you deserve all of it!

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

19:50 talking about making mistakes on stage. I played in a few small bands as a bassist and keyboard player. The first time I ever played a show it was to like 15 people and my first mistake, by trying to go into a bridge or chorus too soon I dont remember its been 20 years, I just naturally was able to laugh it off, wait a beat and then come back in. I kept that same routine for a while then I tried to not even acknowledge when I messed up by keeping a straight face and that is much harder it felt weird. But I would always watch the crowd and no matter how big or small when you mess up like half the audience knows you messed up and looks at you with that confused smirk and trying to act like it didn't happen made them just stare so I went back to laughing it off every time. But I will never forget my 8th show. We were opening for A Day to Remember (before they took off) in this tiny venue in tulsa called the pink eye and the lead singer was standing front and center. As soon as I messed up he locked eyes with me and looked pissed but was still nodding his head to the music with his arms crossed. It was the most awkward I have ever felt on stage like a deer in headlights lol. Sorry for the essay lol.

[@Joe-gl8sr]

If you watch the Rush Show of Hands, you’ll even see Neil Peart screw up Spirit of Radio… and Alex Lifeson is laughing at him real time… even the virtuosos flub every once in a while. Amazing recovery… if you didnt know the song you would have never noticed it.

[@jeffbroome5192]

Hey Man! I'm Jeff from hailing from Portland Oregon. Thank you for the perspective clips man! I'm also a musician (guitars) but lately, for like the last year I've really been interested in drums. Keying in on drums instead of guitar on all the music I listen to TOTALLY changes my perspective on all my favorite jams. Anyway, this was a cool perspective from the stage point of view and it brought back the same butterflies I get every time I play live. 😝 Keep on rocking and I'll keep following bro

Man, I'm the singer and rythm guitar for a really small band, but we just dropped our first EP and we're starting to play around in our zone and everytime I get on a stage I feel that tummy ache and strange feeling that I LOVE! I loved this POV video with all the Venue and stuff because I try to imagine being in that situation, playing in fron of 40,000 people, that I feel the same tummy ache even from home!!! LOVED IT!

[@guyincognito1560]

So Gabe, in a past life I was a drummer. Played some East Bay warehouse shows then was accepted to USAF OCS and got to chase my dream of flying. Gave the wife and fam a tour of non-exciting Air Force bases for a while until I realized the US MIC may not be a force for good in the world. Seems like so many lifetimes ago, now just a retired middle aged beat up pilot back in the rat race trying to get his girls a proper launch on their paths. Was intrigued by this and watched all the way through and quickly became a fan, bought my first iPrevail CD today. Thank you for sharing your private time with us. What a talented "young man" you are, you seem like a pretty nice guy and it's always a pleasure to see nice guys live out their dreams. Keep up the good work, break a leg and all that and watch those blisters! All the best, God Bless.

[@Mr.TeETH78]

Wow! That opening drum part RIPS! You kill it! So good!

[@marinenukem]

As someone who only ever dabbled in drums for like half a year until I broke my wrist skateboarding, and then just never picked it back up, this video is super inspirational. I might look into starting lessons again. Also never heard of I Prevail, but I'm definitely going to add some songs to my playlist. Great video man!

[@bugtogs9344]

I randomly saw this song in my recommended, I was new to drumming and I was looking at previous tutorials so it made sense, I clicked it, and oh my god I have a new favorite band, I am going to see you guys live whenever you come to Brisbane, and you are INCREDIBLE at the drums, I aspire to play like you one day honestly.

[@Naazon]

I hope you have tickets for September...

[@robertsilva4]

I picked up my first set of sticks at the age of 5 yrs. old and got behind the set and started banging away! it's been in my blood ever since and will continue to be till the day I die. I would rock myself to sleep as a young boy listening to hard rock hits in the early 80's while fantasizing about this exact moment. Thanx guys for the sound and visual!! What an awesome experience it must be. Got it cranked up.

[@meepmeep3380]

I like your drumming. It´s fresh and not that overloaded. Keep on rockin

[@guzsaputra]

u guys nailed it !! we need more pov like this, reminds me to old days when i was on stage with old friends.

[@TomoHawKzZ]

I love the fact that at the lull in playing at 16:00 you can visibly see how hard your heart is pounding, and see your hands shaking. The adrenaline and nerves of performing like this must be absolutely insane.

[@mattb2257]

I was at this show in Brisbane and you guys were epic! I hadn’t heard any I Prevail songs prior to the festival but you guys are now headlining my Spotify playlist 🤟🏼

As soon as you mentioned loving a good tom build, I was immediately thinking of worship music. Love being a metal drummer and a worship drummer as I like mixing the two without people expecting it sometimes.

[@brosadeyt8062]

You are the main reason I started drumming, your POVs inspired me so much. Once i saw body bag, it was crazy and looked up to it. And now I am starting a band of my own :) Thank you.

[@Benlovescheese]

i love the intro- rumble to bow down is genius, 2 of my fav songs as of recent years.

[@WishfulCreation]

Turning the camera to a mirror is a genius way to end the video. I also find it interesting that you all experience a crash after a show...that's going from an extremely high dopamine state to a low one. It gives me a little more insight into why many famous performers throughout history may have developed addictions. Stay safe out there. Peace and love.

[@bunchofbullsh7612]

Please do more of these vlogs. They're interesting AF. Plus, I'm a drummer myself, so it makes it even more interesting.

[@Elcomacho]

Found this channel today, and my god I didn’t know drummer POV was this entertaining

[@BigNCountry]

That just looks awesome! I'm not a spotlight fan but seeing the POV of some one who's in it is something different and kinda cool! Another way I see it is the fans get to see what you guys do before and after the gig which lifts the veil off of a pro musicians life on the road. It's just cool to see and different!

[@XTRSleep]

Even in POV I can sense the excitement! This vid is probably one of my favorites now!

[@Beatts_Media]

This was fucking ace. Had tickets to see the Trauma tour in 2019 in Manchester, then you know what happened, finally got to see it in 23. Was so worth the wait. Incredible performers. Hoping there's a tour next year :)

Randomly found your channel & absolutely loved the video! The behind-the-scenes look of the festival, what it's like before you went on stage, & the view of you playing in front of that crowd was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the commentary and fun stuff in between. Great video, which makes me want to check out your other videos & also your music! Take care & God bless!

[@garrettbrown6770]

I began binge watching your vids, Matt Horn’s drum tech POV’s, Tank The Tech…. Things all to keep me inspired because last year I move to Spain and had to start from square 1 with music, networking, etc. Now, miraculously, I am in the ONE band I really enjoyed in my new city and we have some small festivals lined up this year, but now this video keeps replaying in my head to know how far we can go as long as we work our asses off. I love seeing this content, man. Please keep it up and hopefully I could meet you in person some day, somewhere!

I didn't believe bands loved playing in Brisbane so much, being someone from Brisbane, and I guess we actually are a pretty sick crowd. Cheers for sharing, we'll keep giving love to the bands.

No offense but I hadn't heard of your band before this video but I'm definately gonna check you guys out now. Tell your band mates that, while they may not like being recorded, people like me may not have found yall.

[@laciep837]

[@MaestroDraven]

This brings back memories when I was drumming with ex-Eidolon members in Canada. We were scheduled to open for MIchael Schenker, but for some reason he wasn't able to secure a Canadian work VISA and the whole thing was called off. By that time the band had moved to Kitchener and I was still in Toronto so I exited the band and never got the chance. You've made your dream come true, well done!
