he really likes to play drums.

I know right ehhe ^^

[@imdepressednigga]

He is Daniel Platzman

[@slipperiji]

Alright clear your mind, clear your mind of school, of work of education, clear your mind of everything that stresses you out for a minute and just relax. Just take it easy for a minute.

[@juveriatabassum9957]

Watching Platz at work always makes me want to air-drum so much.. Its just his energy, I guess..

[@lazyboy395]

when people say that drummer position is overrated. .. show them this video.

[@mihaelanegritu1709]

I won't argue with you.I'm a drum's fan,but i love this song,and i want to see Dan,on the stage,like it normally would be.I guess,this video is edited for Daniel.I.M.H.O.

[@cooleug]

Wayne Sermon, such an awesome underrated guitarist.

[@fabior3199]

Eugene Tan Right?! Most of the time his awesome guitar works blends in so good in the song you don't really realize it. And then there is his solo that just blows your mind.

[@aiiiia9971]

Yeah, I know right? Did you hear that guitar solo? 😍

[@vinq8621]

@@fabior3199 one of the most important aspects of guitar playing is to serve the song. Not everyone shreds like Van Halen, but dammit if The Edge doesn’t have more hits than anyone I know!

[@fabior3199]

@@vinq8621 The Edge is my absolute favourite guitarist. The only one I know who can paint a scenery by just using four notes. Absolutely unique approach to guitar playing. No one sounds like The Edge, even if they tried.

[@KennyVee]

Wayne is amazing. I see the other comments about Edge and I'm not going to argue against him being amazing. But the guitar solo in tis sing blows Edge away (to me, at least). But it's two completely different guitar styles. Edge isn't about this kind of solo. He is on a completely different bracket.

[@kevinnoble5133]

Platz is releasing his true inner unicorn

[@arthurmorgan8820]

Jesus he just looks so natural while drumming.. like it just looks like it flows through him like it’s nothing

[@gdhsbshsshbs5133]

He looked so happy in between 1:24 and 1:30 min.

[@aiiiia9971]

I know right eeeeeee :D it's so contagious!

[@SteadmanDrums]

Imagine Dragons are the best band in history, no question. And Platzman is too awesome for words.

[@kevinjohnanand]

They're definitely a good band, but really? Best band in history? Have you listened to any other bands? Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Guns n Roses, etc. are the best bands in history.

Don't be an ignorant. Is a such a great band, but too far from being the best one

[@OluktasAmbalaj]

Wayne Sermon guitar performance is excellent!

[@TALKINGtac0]

This band is truly just in it for the music. You look at all of them and they always smile while doing what they do. You can tell they put a lot of emotion into it. I went to see them back in october and the emotion was thick in the air.

It sounds so much better than the studio version...

He is top ten material to me. Love this band

I .. am .. speechless ! WOW did Dan just lay down and sang ? Maaaaaaaaaaaan I was like wth is going on .. Amazing .. really .. I LOVE YOU IMAGINE DRAGONS

[@НЕМЫТАЯ_ШМОНЬКА]

Heheh, Speechless...

[@KennyVee]

The joy with which Daniel plays is amazing. But I also see Wayne ad Ben come together a lot when Wayne has a solo. I know they went to the same school of music, but I don't know whether it was at the same time. But the chemistry that this current version of the band has (I know they aren't all original members) is amazing. I was at their Vegas concert on September 10th 2022 and it was amazing.

[@them3ssageman748]

Damn Platzman is so professionally trained & coordinated, his grooves are always fun to play
