Hail The Sun - Will They Blame Me If You Go Disappearing? [Donovan Melero] Drum Video Live [HD]

[@jondoe1916]

It's incredibly difficult to play a show and drum for that long, but on top of that he is singing? Donovan is a incredibly talented.

[@floralfire]

true

[@Kebinwmiles]

dude is a machine

[@opacja]

he is on the Thomas Erak coordination level

[@adrianmojica2619]

Seriously. Both doing crazy shit, yet singing and keeping time. Wish I was even slightly as talented as those legends

[@DaltonDisciple]

this is one of the most insane musician performances ive ever seen. i have no idea how he plays and sings like that at the same time. thanks for the video, added to favorites

[@justinx590]

When he sings his drumming gets more simple. When hes playing harder he sings less. Its all in the writing im thinking. Maybe

[@floralfire]

sex

[@Zanador]

@@justinx590 Yes and no. A lot of their songs do tend to be like that, but they also have plenty of songs where there's intensive drumming and singing happening simultaneously. Check out the Missed Injections video on this same channel.

[@winniedabish8116]

Donovan Melero is the drummer that dreams are made of.

[@matthewcousineau56]

3:47 he damn near cracked the cymbal with that hit

[@matthewhoffman4675]

I can't believe this. How have I never heard this? How is a band like this not one of the biggest bands in the world? This is unreal.

[@dots4live]

fame doesn't define your success as a musician, but your talent and your ability to inspire your fans does. even if it just one person.

[@Cobalt985]

I just don't understand how everybody there isn't going insane! I'm banging my head to this shit alone with headphones on, but these guys look barely alive!

[@CharlieViking95]

He's incredible.

[@DGDfan13]

I remember watching this years ago. It's still amazing. So thankful I found this band in 2012 Great band. New Age Filth is another masterpiece

[@anthonybarragan1687]

This guy is not human

[@korilynn76ify]

Now I really want to see him preform

[@drummersanonymous]

@@korilynn76ify Do it!

[@ethandoolittle8924]

this is amazing. Like a mix of circa survive and at the drive in, but still unique

[@dsrree]

I always felt this band was like if Anthony Green sung for Fall of Troy but yeah your comparison works too.

[@yurifrixell9200]

So I saw these guys in Chico Tuesday night and met Donovan and not only is he a holy shit awesome drummer, but he's a really cool dude. Hail the Sun for the win!!!

[@fructosecoma]

mad man is playing even more than the record as well

[@H2MOVIEMAKERS]

Donovan was so humble after the show! Me and the band went to Denny’s to eat after and I talked to him about drumming and singing and he said practice, practice, practice! Haha and most of all HAVE FUN

[@sasaki9825]

Do you know when he started playing drums? I’m yet to see an interview where they talked about how he started playing drums and singing.🤷🏽‍♂️🤔

[@shesasunshinemsp6805]

@@sasaki9825 Try their QnA on their channel, the first QnA video (from around 10 months ago) that's where he talks about it. He said he started at around 6 with a cheap drum set (that was good enough for him at the time) and his brother would teach him stuff. I can't quote it verbatim but that's the gist.

[@shesasunshinemsp6805]

@@sasaki9825 He started off playing drums but I'm guessing as with a lot of bands it can be difficult finding a lead singer so then you have to compromise. Like MIW for example chris wasn't supposed to be the lead singer but after so long of not having a lead singer he had to step up and he liked it (the feeling).

[@arkyaker2036]

This is probably one of the most insanely talented group of people in one band!

[@juliesanford3092]

i watch this once a day to wake me up

[@misstreebird]

I was like 69 & Donovan's an incredible drummer, singer, performer. Great capture. I'd like to see Target Practice up close & personal like this!

[@misstreebird]

+misstreebird wth? Now why's there only 68 likes?

[@drummersanonymous]

We have that video on the channel too. ;)

[@BennoBei]

2:55 those toms are so satisfying

[@1missing]

those toms though

[@TeddyParker]

Perfect sound for the music. Sound tech knows their shit.

[@GDT1124]

We need Donovan Melero, Thomas Erak, and Luke Williams (from Arusha Accord) in a band like now.

[@shimmyjimmy8391]

To this day, still perfect. Keep it up lads.

[@DGDfan13]

I remember watching this years ago! Glad I found it again, what a God

[@frameswar2942]

this guy is just simply amazing. im fckn blown away, he literally does every fckn style of rock and metal in these songs. goddammit!

[@nebbyisreal]

Phenomenal performance!

[@129metal]

best drummer ever

[@TobiRosie2016]

It's clear. I can hear your message in ever song.

[@v.e2035]

I can not handle the fact that Donovan has so few views on this. Sickening.

[@brodylanetx]

Damn he’s cold 🔥🫡🫡🫡

i would lovee to see them live

They were at a venue an hour away from me and I really wanted to go but one of my courses was on that day and I regret not going 🥹😅

@@benkon4285 thankfully it seems like they are still pretty actively doing performances! Hopefully ur able to catch them

[@lenaketakeah3650]

YEEEESSSS

[@James_Cy]

That glassjaw tattoo

[@DuffyLONER64]

Whoa, he's like the post-hardcore version of Don Henley (lead singer/drummer of The Eagles, best known for Hotel California). And I can't believe that I didn't notice until now that they both have the same name. xD And the band DON Broco has a singing drummer, too (just on backing vocals, though). It must have something to do with the name "Don"

[@JENNYDERRUBAVIAO]

Donovan is fucking awesome , i love this white gringo that i've never met

[@IvoryEatsTheWorld7]

3:51 fucking legend

No ear protection ?

Fucking insane.

[@despairfollows591]

Is that a first act garage master???

[@brodylanetx]

How are the guitars fuckin up more than Donavan

[@sullik8465]

The thing that gets me is that his vocal lines aren't necessarily tailored to his drumming. Playing a balls-out fill while screaming? Sure, why not? Syncopated melodic bullshit during a thrashy transition? Sure.

[@shesasunshinemsp6805]

Explain this in simpler terms for me?

[@emmanuelteran5386]

epic!!! sad the folks arent going banana´s and standing around with crossed arms smh

[@drummersanonymous]

Yea, most of the the people seen in the video are just on the sides. A lot of the crowd in front of him was singing along, etc.

[@misstreebird]

+Emmanuel Teran Maybe they're just blown away by his awesomeness?

[@emmanuelteran5386]

Maybe I remeber seeing and meeting HTS a fter years back not knowning who they were but instantly got me to groove and move lol

[@misstreebird]

+Emmanuel Teran Some just have that effect on you! Ventura? I'd like to see them at VCF!

[@jimmybuffettsr1157]

To be fair, some people prefer to stand around and just enjoy the music. I'm one of the people that typically does this. Stands in the back or off to the side and just watches. I'm not much for jumping around or anything like that. To each their own.

[@Reneismad]

His singing suffers when he drums. But such sick coordination

[@alexanderqbe]

Just make this guy a big deal and get through with this.
