DRUMMER REACTS to Between the Buried and Me - Telos - Blake Richardson (LIVE DRUM PLAYTHROUGH)

[@OverpoweredByMonk]

If you haven’t yet listened to their new album Colors 2 I suggest you do so at your earliest possible convenience.

Check out silent flight parliament drum cam

[@axelthesot]

Would highly recommend "Lunar Wilderness" drum play through by him. Blake is super talented at so many different genres.

[@OwenAlec]

Ill add it to the list :) thanks

[@atthecore4560]

He ain't no Peter Wildoer, but skilled nonetheless.

[@OwenAlec]

@@capnmoench4246 Not just yet, got a rather large list to go through haha 😆

[@jonathankelley4041]

Seen 13 times live and they kill it. Blake is insane and anything he does add to the music is mind blowing. Did something nuts at the end of Alaska one time I saw them live.

[@Penz0id]

Sharing with the BTFAM! Glad you liked the track, I highly encourage you to spin the entire album! They're one of those full album experience bands.

[@OwenAlec]

I will definitely be doing just that! Great band!

[@lankeysob]

Definitely worth checking out his HyperSleep drum videos or Voice of Trespass drum video. Really talented versatile drummer!

[@OwenAlec]

For sure! Added to the list :)

[@lankeysob]

@@OwenAlec Awesome! Look forward to your reactions! :)

[@adambaker8269]

One thing to keep in mind, what you’re actually hearing is the studio track. He’s perfectly in time on the live performance🤯🤘🏻

[@parkyhot1]

That ending not going straight into the next track sounds so odd ahaha

[@OwenAlec]

Ill have to give it a listen on Spotify haha 😄

[@shaylah7389]

Hahaha! I have that thought every time I hear Telos on its own.

[@nickzimonja3382]

BTBAM is my favorite band. Blake is extremely underrated

[@sicboi80]

Goodbye to everything

[@commonclayofthenewwest6045]

Their sound thrives in a conceptual environment. It's tough to start where you did without the whole theme, so good work for trying it out.

[@clashcor]

Love the react, I would try out the Hypersleep Dialogues play through or Ectopic Stroll.

[@ckokomo808]

Loving your channel. I like hearing what others hear in music, especially those who play a specific of plethora of instruments. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’ll have to listen again after hearing them. Peace, Chris

[@OwenAlec]

Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it!

[@nahagliv9887]

Check out Dan Presland from Ne obliviscaris - Devour me Colossus studio playthrough or As Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope Czarcie Kopyto studio play through either one is good stuff.

[@scosstard3542]

Noticed I put a thumbs up but did not comment on the video. As usual a very cool reaction, what impresses me the most about Blake Richardson, besides his versatility and technics, is definitely his memory I am wondering how he remembers all this, especially on songs that are even longer or more complex that this one :D There are a ton of drummers you could react to, and you already reacted to one of my suggestions, but here is a short list of stuff you could react to: - Paul Seidel - Jurassic/Cretaceous - Sylvain Bouvier - Damballa's Voodoo Doll - For more extreme drumming definitely check Jamie St Merat - Dead Oceans , absolutely mindblowing Cheers,

[@OwenAlec]

Oh for sure, I struggle to remember what I did this morning, nevermind a 15-20 epic haha Its definitely something that gets overlooked i think

[@Skackle]

I would say anything off The Great Misdirect. My fave album from them. Swim To The Moon is my fave song from them...

[@OwenAlec]

Ill be sure to put it on my playlist 😃

[@americanindisguise]

swim to the moon has some his craziest stuff, but rly anything from this dood, u cant go wrong

[@mattheap-producer]

insane drummer

[@OwenAlec]

Very impressive!

[@DrumL3000]

Big Brain drummer for sure ^^

[@MrROTD]

I dont even play drums and I gotta up my drum game.

[@OwenAlec]

I do and so do I haha 😄

[@mastertonberry9224]

mirrors / obfuscation, there is a great live drumcam for it

[@coreyadair5731]

Yeeeaaahhhhhh

[@MrDarkunit1]

Feel like your out of your element on this one donny

[@darthaelris2059]

Obviously you should react to Neil Peart. Anything really. It doesn't matter. Even if you already know, some may not. And should.

[@OwenAlec]

The professor himself! A great idea!

[@sealsonsaturn]

look at that audience... what a shame

[@atthecore4560]

BTBAM fans are fanatical. Don't take their advice for suggests. Go check out Frost*. The Dividing Line will change your life.

[@OwenAlec]

Bold claim haha I'll add it to the list, cheers 😁

[@atthecore4560]

@@OwenAlec I love BTBAM, I respect the fanatical fandom they deserve, but fans can be crazy lol. Stalker style, if you catch my drift XD. Frost* are important though. They write the most Human music I've ever heard.

[@commonclayofthenewwest6045]

I can't fully disagree. I picked the washburn out of my brothers room ten years ago after listening to Colors live like I was in a trance ( the reoccurring themes within a progression made to conclude is great to me) But it's all subjective. I usually listen to them without others around. I will add that compositionally, they are top tier, highly practiced musicians.

[@atthecore4560]

@@commonclayofthenewwest6045 I hear you. I love so many bands. The majority of them fail me with their song-writing sensibilities, but that doesn't mean I don't still love everyone of their individualistic and creative interpretations of sound structure. Each and every band is unique and has something for someone to enjoy, but personal taste in stylism is the defining element of what's popular and what isn't. I like maybe about 20% of BTBAM's catalog, but what I like, I absolutely adore. I might only love a fraction of their material, but I do because I respect the sheer skill they have as practicing creators. This is a specialist view. Only artistic creators get this. There is no best, only unique differential expressionism. It might sound corny, but personal taste is a representation of one's own soul. Does that make sense to you?

[@atthecore4560]

@@commonclayofthenewwest6045 Side note: Automata I & II is the best material BTBAM has ever done. That's my connect with their energy. It's the vibe I relate to the most. After that; Parallax I & II and Colors are held in massive regard. White Walls is definitely my favourite Song. White Wall defines their entire stylism the most and it's what convinced me that this is a band worth dedicating my time to. As a Composer who understands this, I love art that is formed from indulgence in experimentation. Do what you want to love to create, not what others expect from you. I wouldn't like BTBAM if they didn't do what they intend. Love what you do or it's fake.
