For those of you wondering, Donovan and Allen switch off throughout the set to perform different songs. Donovan still plays drums while singing. Footage from this show of Donovan is also on this channel performing the song "Human Target Practice." Just search on my channel and you will find the video :) enjoy and please subscribe!

[@Bannanawaffles2]

I just always come back to this one, dude just goes full goblin mode at times, he's clearly having so much fun, and man, you can't argue with those smooth fills and those insane solos, he's a beast and he's so infectiously happy, I just love it so much.

[@korhanalparslan8730]

This one I come back to as well. It is helpful to be reminded that pure joy and passion is so fucking contagious.

[@bonesquadgsyk]

Met him at a circa survive amulet tour show at the queen in Wilmington Delaware. One of the nicest most dedicated dudes I've ever spoken to. His advice to me(a newish drummer in a band) "play until your hands bleed and everything hurts. Then, keep playing because everything after that doesn't hurt and it gets easier and easier, but don't ever stop playing."

[@wolfsnake6.6.6.]

you're goddamn fucking right!!!

[@gibbles12]

Omg the mom plays drums fill is so accurate I love that

[@BurnTheNuance]

Never heard of the band, or this dude, but god damn this man loves to play. Probably one of the better videos shot this tour.

[@cayeminterviews]

BurnThePope glad u enjoy it! Thanks for checking something out that you’re unfamiliar with!

[@1missing]

You'll be surprised to learn that the vocalist actually records all the drums and normally plays them while singing. Super fuckin talented dude

[@BurnTheNuance]

cayeminterviews Tbh, I'm unfamiliar with 95 percent of the band's you show case, xD. I'm more of a death/tech kinda guy, but I love drumming. Regardless of how I feel about the band overall. Thanks for the years of hard work. Thousands (tens of in some cases) of us greatly appreciate it.

[@otaylorgoulart]

Dude, you should really check some other drum cam videos of this band, with the actual guy who sings and plays some fucking complex stuff effortlessly! btw who's that guy playing and where's the actual drummer/vocalist in this video?

[@deja0entendu]

BurnTheNuance thank you!!!!!!

[@chandlergillespie2112]

I love donovan he is my biggest inspiration for drumming vocalist but the need to have allen as their full time drummer he fits so well with them

[@Brickarmorylego]

This is by far one of the coolest drum cam video's on the great web

[@anthonyk0420]

Still fucking true!

[@CharlieViking95]

Given the talent of this band I was half-expecting him to start singing as well.

[@tforkirbiie]

Charlie Österlund // Drums this is their drum tech. Donovan usually sings and plays most of the set

[@BurnTheNuance]

arthur parker. Judging by his comment I'd say he already knew that. Lol.

[@CharlieViking95]

Yup ;)

[@paolowilson00091]

The power lies within the drummers mustache. Love this band!!

[@ramoncarrillo3851]

wow their tour drummer kills it! this dudes got energy and plays so good!

[@TeddyParker]

3:30 just destroyed me in every way into bits and pieces. and the more I see this guy play the more I appreciate the front man version of Hail the Sun. its just even more energy to a band already overflowing with it...

[@agdrummer2610]

videos like this make you realize what a madman Donavan is for playing AND singing at the same time!! Allen killed it

[@elunico13lu]

And to think Donovan does that while singing. The dude is crazy talented both of the are

[@ea_gas]

First time hearing of this band, and I'm loving this guy's energy. It's freaking awesome. Going to check out more by them!

[@cayeminterviews]

Elijah Gastelum thanks for opening your palette to something new!

[@anonemoose6622]

Elijah Gastelum They're super cool. The singer actually does the drums and they often perform as a 4 piece with him singing and drumming

[@jondoe1916]

This guy isn’t officially in the band. He’s just a touring member. If you have Spotify then check out his band called VIS.

[@Durfit]

The drool at 2:35 cannot be unseen.

[@jeremiahdombach9651]

Bryan Kral i died 😂😂

it's the _venom spitty spit_

[@ZeeDog27]

I love the part from 3:09 he goes OFF ! Awesome

[@fechai101]

Holy shit! Thorny from super troopers killing it!

[@BurnTheNuance]

Funkodelic_ I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought he looked like Ramathorn, xD

[@fechai101]

BurnThePope 😂😂😂 it’s awesome!!

[@DakotaSmith000]

Day absolutely made because of this comment thanks partner hahah

[@brette6854]

1:29 wooh!!!

[@drumminfool92]

This guy slays

[@dominicsavankham0709]

All that drool coming out of his mouth at around 2:40 Haha god I love this band

[@Jake-ov5gs]

MY MAN ALLEN IS CLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN

[@CERBERUS1O8]

Allen killed it as usual... Single handedly the reason I got into HTS

[@donnymcjonny6531]

Sheesh, Allen, what a performance!

[@bournedrummer]

This dude goes hard, deffo checking the band out

[@omarloera86]

Allen is the shit. Been watching him play since he was 16

[@hashixfritz]

Awesome skills and performance, dude love what he does

[@spacemanmike6903]

Idk if this dude still tours with the band, tbh I'm not really into this kinda music anymore, but I had the privilege of seeing this dude perform live with HTS once and it seriously blew my mind outta my dick. I've never seen anyone attack a drum kit like this guy does, it's truly insane the amount of talent that he has.

[@tommymaung6401]

Jesus! Ahcen just KILLING it. I love this so much.

[@ollie2111]

2:10 King doesn't even need to look

[@andypark6464]

Apparently he is also a talented singer and a rapper. Cool dude!!

[@deja0entendu]

YOOOOOO!!!!! That’s sick that you know that. Solo album coming later this year. In the meantime, check out my band VIS. We’re opening up for Hail the Sun on this upcoming tour.

[@bryninhaspearldrums]

deja0entendu my band Valkyrie Missile is opening up at the Fresno date. So fucking stoked. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@bigstef2010]

This guy is on fire !!!!

[@AspireAndInspire]

For those of you just discovering Hail The Sun, I urge you to go look at other drum videos of theirs with Donovan Melero. Allen Casillas is phenomenal, but it's something else to watch Donovan play and sing at the same time.

[@DavidWinterDrums]

Awesome stuff! 🥁🔥 Allen is a brilliant drummer, had the pleasure of hanging out with him after we supported Hail The Sun & Silverstein for the Newcastle, UK show in December 17. Super awesome dude and producer too!

[@MyoticTesseract]

Tip for performing Hail the Sun songs: Don't get a human to play the drums. Lol

[@jonserra8469]

Only demons

[@jarolddhavesaguit1204]

I discovered a lot of great bands (not only mainstreams) because of you @cayeminterviews, im glad you build this channel hahaha

[@arjayreyes6807]

Mexican Travis

[@jairogonzales3287]

Lol haha

[@DWreck958]

I see the resemblance in style and posture.

[@travisfrazier3480]

fucking beast mode! this dude aint messing around! his chopz are on point!!!💪👍🤓🤘

[@luc1016]

This is pure art

[@AlextheBant]

Fuck what a passionate machine

[@MrGenedancingmachine]

This level of drumming skill...I can forgive the moustache

[@TheHIOJK]

You don't forgive the moustache, the moustache forgives you.

[@Boognish_]

Pretty basic stuff tbh

[@MrGenedancingmachine]

Boognish yeah so basic that you’ll get old trying to play it

[@Boognish_]

MrGenedancingmachine .... Yaa... Good one. You don't play the drums obviously.

[@MrGenedancingmachine]

No, I don't mean a general "you", I mean YOU in particular, obviously.

[@brianb2627]

Holy shit this dude is an absolute maniac on the drums

[@attractedtothemetallikemag9385]

Wow awesome

[@Drumattik1er]

Still fookin great!! 🎉

[@cringecountertop3762]

Goddamn them skills are crazy

[@20thingsgoing62]

frickin increedible

[@Zakkday]

Allen was such a choice addition to the band, you can tell he loves these fucking songs

[@xZetsubouShawnx]

2:07 me when I fail my math test

[@geoffvera9187]

Holy Jesus, I want whatever that dude is on!

[@jackfriedberg249]

MAD MAN!!!

[@anthonyroberts3170]

Homeboy killin it

[@REVEALZ13]

I remember seeing them at chain reaction and he introduced a drummer whom they said they found on KZbin, is it Allen? I can’t remember, I was way too drunk

[@jondoe1916]

His name is Allen Casillas. He’s not an official member he’s just a touring member. If you have Spotify you should check out his band called VIS.

This guy goes all the fucking way and more

[@paulapobesamis418]

DAMN...

[@adanvaldcontreras4283]

Yu killed it bro 🤘

[@Stutter-Step]

As Nik Nocturnal once said about DGD “not if… how much” that mi air jump/ cymbal hit was legit

[@xRamZx]

Noob question here, Hail the Sun's vocalist is also the drummer and I've seen vids of him doing both live. Does he normally switch off, or maybe does vocals only when playing bigger shows?

[@cayeminterviews]

yes they switch off!

[@nicomartinez3778]

same

[@xRamZx]

cayeminterviews ah ok awesome! So much talent in this band, I really enjoy their music

[@anonemoose6622]

Ramsey L He has started having his tech fill in for certain songs that are more difficult to sing and play

[@xRamZx]

ANon Emoose well his tech is a heck of alot of fun to watch! You can tell he loves what he does and I love that.

[@renend1178]

I want his energy... And his hat.

[@halimdrummer777]

Crazy drummeer)!

[@Dudezzify]

Cant see where the sticks lands sometimes.. skills man, mad skills..

[@Aurora_17]

1:28. HOLY FUCK. This guy jumped so high he almost fell off his throne, and hit the top of the stage

[@christianbruner779]

gOD DAMN!

[@56Pilotboy]

Those chops though

[@crstnprz]

El paisa tocando la bateria

[@MrMeowMeows619]

I wonder how often they have to change heads and cymbals

[@deja0entendu]

Every two weeks on a tour, for heads Cymbals, every tour, but we always need backups because I'll break SOMETHING 2 weeks in

[@desensitizedtv9862]

I can see Donovan is a Cedric Bixler-Zavala fan.

[@lean_akin0]

Que animaaaal

[@bucknasty5374]

Is this a competition how many time changes can you fit in a song?

[@spezy93]

Welcome to prog

[@harpy2602]

personally I prefer Donovan's drumming style, but will never deny this guy's talent.

[@kevinc8369]

Holy fuck dude

[@JeremiahFernandez]

dem dynamics tho

[@KyleAutomotive1]

So is Donovan full time singing now? Pretty cool. Drummer is a monster

[@joecooper8527]

I bet the brand of cymbals he uses probably get half their quota just from him. Look how he's beating them cymbals.

[@chrisroarty6591]

The singer is actually the drummer though sometimes he'll go out front, he said in an interview I seen a while ago that their drum tech (the drummer here) smashes loads of his cymbals and if he didn't have his endorsements he'd be fucked basically!

[@joecooper8527]

Chris Roarty 100% fucked indeed.

[@SamuelJamesVideos]

Glad Luan Oliveria is diversifying his hobbies

[@jamescarter6025]

Is that a Tama big black steel snare?

[@Dannysop]

James Carter yeah looks like it! , I own one, my favorite snare so far.

[@mavymaymac1381]

Damn

[@RiotxTori]

💖

[@fogspanker8532]

Wasnt the drummer in super troopers

[@Schlitorous]

Whatever this man is on... I want some

[@adistiapratayangsha6487]

what microphone did you use ?

[@HawksWithRockets]

Just get the large Farva.

[@daveisaframe]

I'd probably rather listen to him play his own drum lines though. I've got a feeling I still prefer to hear Donovan on these songs. But I understand it's draining to focus on both the things and he prefers to be singing only.

[@deja0entendu]

Davide Bresciani if that’s the case: you should check out my band VIS! That’s how Donovan discovered me: he’s our booking agent. Search “No Consequence” and “No Waves” by the band VIS. I’m glad you enjoyed my performance! Stoked to hear what you would think.

[@Spacegeezer]

deja0entendu you’re energy is fuckin awesome man. Keep slayin the skins

[@stehill2822]

how long does it take to get this good ?

[@deja0entendu]

I've been playing for 18 years (eeewww) Habit I got into early on was playing so hard that you throw up. Have fun! But also focus on fundamentals... hitting hard vs. hitting soft and really getting in the control of everything in between. And then timing. everything kinda builds off that.

[@jubaterafull]

What his name?

[@AceBambam]

Goodbye warped tour

[@teeth87]

Pablo the Mexican drummer! Fresh off the lorry! What a fucking boss man

[@baileylittlejohn1051]

Didn’t the vocalist play drums?

[@SockPuppetDinosaur]

Yes, pretty sure he writes and plays on the albums and sometimes plays drums live. Lately he's been just doing vocals though.

[@deja0entendu]

SockPuppetDinosaur We switch off. He still plays drums!

[@SockPuppetDinosaur]

@@deja0entendu I stand corrected! ❤❤❤

[@caristicomistico7684]

Cholo on drums essay

[@deja0entendu]

Caristico Mistico you know this

[@drunkenyeknom]

I thought the drummer was the singer??

[@cooliocaptin517]

Kenny T He doesn’t do every song because (if you couldn’t tell by the video) that would be a little difficult for a song like this and the vocals would end up sounds super bad and shaky just because of how he’s playing

[@dmitrikrosikio2684]

damn, i didn't realize how apeshit allen goes on drums before

[@sasquatchhimself]

I thought the singer drummed?

[@artdamages]

John DeVitis The singer drums as well, they just alternate on some songs.

[@papableme]

Who's this drummer lol would be a great addition tho

[@themoonrunner]

Stibbu he’s the drummer for the band called VIS

[@MitchBakerMusic]

He's been the touring drummer for HtS for quite some time now, he just jumps in when Donovan goes to be frontman

[@XUZY831116]

i am really worried about his neck....

[@LyricalWrench]

The audience does not seem to care at all by what is going on lmao

[@usukapal]

Now i understand why allen bleeds so much when playing. Beats the fuck out of the kit

[@autotheist]

Is it just me or does he go in and out of time frequently? Seems like he keeps speeding up. Could just be the playback throwing me off

[@danielreed5003]

You guys shod have recorded the video with donovan instead

[@cayeminterviews]

Daniel Reed we did do a video with Donovan. It’s literally promoted at the end of this video 😂

[@initialt3435]

Remember, kids, Coke is good...

[@deja0entendu]

Ahsyaa Pratama don’t EVER use coke when you play. I would probably die after finishing a set. I probably had to run off and throw up after finishing this, and all I drank was water and had a healthy breakfast lol

[@hypno6164]

It seems to me like he really needs to control his emotions while playing, he almost lost some fills cuz of that. Nice work compared to the original version though

[@kennylabiche7976]

that's a no no as a drumer for me ..this guy should be in the figth clurd and the moustach?? naaaaaa that the worst druming fighting shit iv ever seen ...

[@Mari000]

Is that a TAMA big black steel snare?

yes
