[@aatu7592]

I think of Mastodon as a band, where Bill and Troy are the rhythm section, and Brent and Brann are playing lead. When the guitars are keeping the pace, Brann can flickety-flam all over the place and bring the danger and excitement.

I got into Mastodon with The Czar. I’m one of the weirdos that likes more the slower trippier side of Mastodon. Even their faster stuff is very musical.

[@Audioynuyor]

In terms of musical depth and instrument virtuosity, I believe no other group comes close to Mastodon, and especially Brann Dailor is incredible on the drums. He not only has mastered them and their essence in music, but also adds the much needed gentleness and fragile, vulnerable emotion with his vocals. The way Mastodon tackles trauma, pain, and their negative emotions to create music is, to me at least, unique and not something I find in any other genre, singer or musician.

[@Sevenfoldkidd0.0]

Mastodon has always been in my top list of bands that I love to listen to just for the journey of having different leaders to get us through the songs. One thing that makes them stand out even more as a band is the fact that Brann can not only sing, but also in some tracks take the role of the lead instrument, making the whole band sound so much more dynamic.

[@igordyakonov4902]

Brann has unique style of playing drums. Those complex and frequent fills are party for my ears.

[@oxouk]

Brann is not only hilarious, but has an instantly recognizable drum sound that sets him apart from all other drummers. Blazing fast single stroke drum fills and patterns syncopated with the guitar riffs that often times creates the most beautiful controlled chaos you'd ever want to hear. As a singing drummer myself, when asked how do I sing and play at the same time, I simply say "The drumming is on auto pilot, muscle memory is doing it's thing, I'm just focusing on singing in key". Love the Dead Zone reference. Great movie, and Precious on the bass drum head...hilarious!

Leviathan might me my favorite metal album of all time (I was hoping he'd play Hearts Alive in this video, their best song imo)

[@IvanVarentsov]

The most creative drumming I've ever heard. Would be incredible to have him performing an unfamiliar drumless song to watch his creativity live

[@biorythmicshifter]

His relentlessness is pure bliss to my ear holes…

[@BallsDeepInDahl]

And my eye holes 🥹🤘

[@toyomatt84]

An absolute masterclass for drumming talent. Such a pleasure to see Brann on Drumeo!

[@jamiereekie9342]

Arguably one of the best metal drummers of his generation!

[@kieranboelman5621]

Crazy to think that someone this skilled can exist

[@sivadepilif]

The way he plays is the perfect controlled chaos. Great drummer!

AT LAST! Was so gutted this cut out on me live a few weeks ago. What a thumper.
