+50 points for beating testicular cancer and bossing drums

[@arnabbanerjee2792]

Wait.. what.? Seriously?

[@aprioris.knowledge2765]

@@arnabbanerjee2792 yes sir he was on tour and decided to keep touring for the album get treated when he came back I believe I think you can find him saying that on KZbin or at least mentioning it then an article he details it.

[@boarderking133]

​@@aprioris.knowledge2765 might be the most metal thing I've ever heard

[@aprioris.knowledge2765]

@@boarderking133 kinda makes the album “dreamless “ which are concepts about how death effects life and life after death fear of death etc hit a lot more huh.

[@ItalianAvalanche]

GET THIS DRUMMER AN ENDORSEMENT

[@rsaldivar8]

respects for the single foot blasting, great old school death metal influences i can see.

[@DRUM]

This pleases me.

[@daxter6001]

I went to school with this guy from 5th grade till highschool

[@anoptforout]

The most hard-working drummer in metal!

[@richmondyayarea]

I've seen them live a couple of times now and they are absolutely killer live.

[@richmondyayarea]

Outstanding musicians

[@METALLiCMETALLEr]

Lucky bastard

[@BurnTheNuance]

Same here, their vocalist is sorta a douche in person, but they are so tight live.

[@djdast08]

I had a great chat with Alex, he's so cool. Maybe he just was not having his day. :)

[@marvthemartian9972]

BurnThePope I think out of all the comments I've read on Alex's personality, you're the first to say he was a douche.

[@Tachikoma39]

I could watch this guy drum all day...

[@TheVermifuge]

Very killer playing

[@johnsonboone953]

Someone at Tama, Pearl, Sonor, or any other major drum company isn't doing their freaking job. I've been following Andrew's career with Fallujah for years now and the fact that this good of a player can't get a Drum&Cymbal endorsement is a damn crime.

[@Jordy666sic]

The section from 2:27 to that breakdown is one of the heaviest parts of the album imo. The drumming is so in your face in that section.

[@richardhutton4501]

Absolutely agree!

[@donkanaille8585]

I agree ! And that came really surprising (at least for me). LIKE A BOSS 💪🏻🤘🏻

[@redhat7730]

I'm too infatuated by the exiting of Scar Queen, but I know there's a bundle of people are offended by Alex's vocals.

[@TheMarga628]

I thought i was the only one! haha :)

[@chickenslips]

That ending is amazing. I love how his vocals just sound like a roar. Unintelligible and animal-like, fierce, and the whole ending is a wall of sound. It's amazing.

[@cooliocaptin517]

He looks like a Mortal Kombat character

[@ekoanugrah1283]

kabal ? 😅

[@skadogg22]

The best part about Fallujah is the drumming

[@moribnd]

simple guitar melody w/ beautiful effects and the drummer's cycle through a black metal beat from death metal beats, plus all the drum rolls make this track sensational. excellent.

[@jwildman95bamf]

Lovin the B8s

[@BurnTheNuance]

Why, lol..

[@clever8088]

cause its pretty funny that he uses them even though he is in such a beast band

[@v12kid]

solid and clean.

[@D.M.-]

Incredible album

[@guiidrtt]

Can't wait to see this amazing drummer in February 2019 with Fallujah. CAN'T WAIT !!!!

[@ChaboyAnthony]

SOME CYMBAL COMPANY SHOULD SPONSOR ANDREW!!

[@BurnTheNuance]

God damn, sounds great!

[@Mikethemang]

So amazing!

[@danieljordison0793]

it really saddens me that being a drummer with this level and in this band and he still doesnt have a cymbal endorsment? wtf? using b8s in fucking fallujah? for fucks sake!! fucking overrated and average drummers get endorsements but he cant?! so fucking pissed man

[@shadow105720]

To be fair hi hats in extreme metal are not that important to have nice articulate cymbals. They're just open and sloshing most of the time anyway so it doesn't matter if they're B8s. He also has AA crashes and a meinl crash and those chinas don't look like B8s either. Everything here sounds fine to me no matter the line of cymbal.

[@isiscruz9075]

only his hats are b8s. which don't even sound that bad.

[@OdysseyDawnMusic]

You do realize the audio is mixed so it sounds better?? Those B8''s are really terrible sounding cymbals. Im not even being a hater. They just sound really bad lol

[@___mg9789]

Carlos Bandala dude I was thinking the exact same thing. I've seen Fallujah live a couple of times and during those shows he was still playing with cracked cymbals. This guy has more than talent and yet no endorsement. I just can't believe it

[@sethkukel229]

Yeah b8s are fucking awful. Every time I hear them it's a slosh of cringy white slosh.

[@maschinemademan9053]

so dope. kudos bro!

[@hombreesquizoidedelsiglo21]

Ride + ride bell + china in a blast beat is killer, It makes blastbeats feel more musical and not monotonous like other drummers.

[@Sodigerati]

Mad solid! Amazing album

[@derkranich8474]

Awesome 😄👍

[@metalvocalistwanted]

Great vid \m/

[@MarcoFerlito]

Andrew Baird , a hero \m/

[@metalhead8728]

Outstanding superb killer machine \m/

[@ekinerayyaganak613]

Who's listening in 2021! 🤘🏼

[@treecutter10able]

holy fuck he's good! sounds so awesome

[@farenine]

I was sure Fallujah's drum parts were insane, but not at THIS point, damn.

[@JamesHornsbyMusic]

Didn't realize I was drooling till it was over

[@DeFFicationISgolD]

seriously cannot believe how sick this guy is and he's doing it with short boards lol. I've never seen or known anyone who owns Axis short boards let alone being sick af like this guy

[@METALLiCMETALLEr]

It is just fucken amazing!!!!!

[@ByOwnZ]

fucking amazing

[@xBCxRICHx1993]

Damn.

[@innerselfspark1384]

That snare tho.... I fukn love it!!

[@Demiigodd]

oh yes what the album version missed lol a lot of the songs have the cymbals toned down...

[@airwann]

Goes better with the overall ambiant sound, very spacey. Cymbals would give it a heavier feel.

[@jirol4112]

Andrews a fucking machine

[@ZeeKat]

More of this guy. Drums on their albums sound like a drum machine (and they probably are), kinda makes you expect it will be either a coarse approximation or a complete embarassement live. Then you go to see them and songs actually go according to plan. I was seriously totally prepared they're a studio/DAW wonder at most. Great band.

[@blakewarrens3925]

I think fallujah's drums are recorded man. Never heard anything about them using a drum machine and Andrew's obviously good enough to play and write those parts

[@ZeeKat]

Can't help myself, being overanalysing weirdo is a lifelong passion. Was thinking of Flesh Prevails, mostly.

[@Ch0c0b0]

the kick drum in the studio is completely fake but otherwise everything else he plays on the recording is real

[@CristianMartinez-qc6tn]

watched them at VA beach ! This song is wen i jumped into moshpit yessir !

[@Garth1Vader]

This dude is a fucking animal, rips too hard.

[@HyperionVI]

So his right foot swivels but the left doesn't?

[@MrOAmazing]

What is main china like its so beautiful!!!

[@MC3KING]

Somebody knows what's the china on his right ?? It sounds killer !

[@michiw6256]

B8x 18" chinese

[@high0nfire]

Sabian B8 hihats? XS20 crash? I wonder if those are actually his personal choice or if that's just his practice set?

[@Eyeriz96]

fucking epic

[@kpspyer]

💀💀🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@Likestodrum334]

Man this guy deserves better gear than what he has for his skill level

[@cobeidonovan75]

Had to watch 2:45 a few times over

[@DissYraiN]

Void Alone, plz? but this is amazing, too

[@gregreece7489]

2:30 peek-a-boo dude.

[@dulsrules]

No more double strokes on kicks ? And he got into a one foot blasts ? Interesting transition.

[@deliciousmentalfudge]

It's probably just because the tempo isn't very high. You don't really need to use double strokes for that speed.

[@Bemenhorst]

the slower you go the harder it becomes to keep them consistent

[@Luemm3l]

true but it's still 190 bpm 16th notes if I'm not mistaken, I would love to play them with single strokes, but I'm stuck at 130, lol !

[@Bemenhorst]

Luemm3l keep practicing man! speed comes with control and endurance. those need to be your priority.

[@NedeljskiH]

Who drew the picture on the start of the video?

[@JRW210]

peter morbacher

[@Norvenz]

Is that Sabian B8 china?

[@Bloodstar14]

What is that SNARE?! DO WANT

[@johnsonboone953]

The entire kit is a PDP Double Drive Poplar shell pack....... For the 8 piece shell pack including 2 -22x18 bass drums it's only $700. That's a great deal and they sound great too. I don't own the set but I seen many players play them and they sound awesome mic'd or without. The only drawback that I didn't love about them is that in person they look really cheap, but what do you expect for 700 bucks.

[@michiw6256]

TAMA Metalworks 14"x6,5"

[@jessebowles5632]

I wish the other video that I had seen of this still existed. Had a really sweet shot of his right foot

[@zilttsep6273]

Fucking hell

[@slrnoise]

Is this Amber Gaze played by Andrew Baird of Andrew Baird played by Amber Gaze?

[@KALLISSTO]

amber isnt a common male name in the states m8. so it's andrew baird playing

[@faenova4547]

Its Andrew Gaze played by Amber Baird.

[@Reidiq]

Eargasm

[@Peristox]

Does he use triggers? I know he does live, but here I cant tell.

[@trevstauf1771]

Peristoval yep

[@AD-Dom]

Its the socks.

[@mpk6664]

Definitely not a fan of those Sabians in this video, I've used The same models during marching band and they sound better live. The Meinl sounds nice though.

[@BatFuckingCountry]

OH COME ON! Toms can clearly be heard at 0:48 but he's only playing the snare. Would have totally expected someone of Andrew's quality to use the current take's drum track, and not some other take's. Very unprofessional, in my opinion.

[@Jordy666sic]

It's the editors 'fault'. Be glad he doesn't play like a robot, repeating the same thing over and over.

[@moricoon]

around 1:43 same with the doublebass only on the db cam not on the normal shot

[@Sodigerati]

It's a lot more difficult than you think man. Having 3+ angles and who knows how many takes, it can get pretty confusing between editing and mixing.

[@BatFuckingCountry]

+blrsycth I expected someone as good as Andrew to be able to comfortably finish the whole thing off in one take. I mean, have you seen his live videos?! His drumming is flawless. Regardless of that, rookie errors like this are easily avoidable.

[@Jordy666sic]

Rahul Kini Expecting him to do it in one take, calling not playing it note for note like on the album/his previous takes a rookie error? Dude again, he is not a robot, drop it. They weren't mistakes or errors.
