Ladders Of Supremacy Drum Play Through w/ Commentary

[@chelfyn]

The end trilogy, Ladders, Rise and Windows are possibly the best work that they've ever done. Comparable with the Willing Well IMO.

[@F3Ibane]

1000% agree with this. Rise, in particular, hit me *really* fucking hard.

[@heathbayman5216]

No longer just a rock band. Truer words have never been spoken. I love how he can just watch himself drumming and be like yeah, that’s sick

[@4watchingvids]

Josh always seems like he's enjoying playing so much. Even when he's rocking with a shaker on acoustic tracks. Love watching him

[@fatjonseatingadventures5429]

This song's tension was fucking amazing. The final trilogy was just a master piece. Most bands you think fall off creatively the longer they're a band but coheed is just something else.

[@mashbandicootmashups]

Facts, this is honestly up there drumming wise with Willing Well 2

[@fatjonseatingadventures5429]

@@mashbandicootmashups Oh yeah, the willing well 2 was so good. It's still my favorite drumming of Coheed.

[@mattwhite1244]

the way you accentuated the down beat before "stay" is actually one of the greatest moments in Coheed history.

[@octocoq]

Josh might be Coheed’s biggest fan

[@dantedmc06]

Josh is the reason I took my first drum lesson today at 31. This song absolutely smashes it and the album is so so good!

[@rhysmoreby1605]

Damn, good for you! Hope you love playing as much as I do!

[@DarlingMissDarling]

Holy shit, that's awesome! Here's to you having an absolute blast playing, my guy! 🍻

[@awerdef]

It's a bucket list dream of mine. I'm a bit jealous, but happy for you. Enjoy!

[@Six6Suited-tr1ve]

Trying to talk my almost 42 yo ass into buying a kit…

[@johnnythefox-y6k]

I love Ladders, I love Rise, I love Window. Putting those tracks at the tail end of the album was such a good choice. All of us COTF go nuts for Progheed. We all live for the end of Vaxis II!

[@FanDethklok]

I absolutely love how much Josh loves what he does.

[@toomuch3539]

Seriously gotta love that Josh is just as big of a Coheed fan as any of us

[@pompeii1275]

Josh! Without a doubt Vaxis II is some of your best work and carried the album to the next level. Mad props bro!

[@joshuabaca6257]

This is my favorite song of the album

[@armysean91]

The first time I heard Ladders bleed into Rise I got goosebumps. It's just so damn good. I probably replayed that transition a dozen times after and it's still so beautiful. Truly a pice of art.

[@diabeticmonkey]

As a 32 year old man when the album came out, I will openly admit that I cried when it transitioned.

[@sarahthrastardottir9757]

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this play through. I love your work 🙏🏻 wish there were drum play throughs for every Coheed song.

[@PATRICKMALLOYGOLF]

Can not get enough of these. The insight into how the record was written and how it came about is so cool. Keep it up Josh ✌🏻

[@JamesSigarette]

Man. I don't know where to start. I have been a child of the fence for about 20 ish years. Mr. Josh, you are simply awesome. I have been watching your journey with coheed and Cambria the entire time. When you weren't there there was a void. I believe Claudio even spoke on it once before stating that it just wasn't the same. I am so elated that you are here to stay. Thank you for the inspiration to be one of the best people. Not let anything get me down. You are a huge inspiration to millions man. Thank you for finally given us a drum playthrough let alone a commentary to go with it. Keep rock and roll and make me. I love you bro..

[@_worksonmymachine]

I love this so much. I love how excited Josh gets in talking about the song, the improvisations and just every part.

[@Paulverize115]

I love this, getting a chance to hear the thought process is really rewarding

[@willsinclair1604]

Josh this is fantastic. I know these are kind of supported by your sponsors but man, for this record, I would love to see you and Zach do Love Murder One together and talk about it. It rips so damn hard between the two of you. Keep these coming, they're great man!

[@Dolphinado]

Seriously!! I want to see Josh and Zach break down Love Murder One so bad

[@ther3aper561]

Ladders is such a banger. It is easily one of the best songs in a long time and that's really saying something because a lot of what you guys have been doing lately are absolutely incredible. The musical components, Claudio's singing, the lyrics .. everything is pushed to such a higher level that when I first heard it after the album dropped I knew I'd remember my first time hearing it for a long time. One of the songs I wish was played live on the tour

[@jambojjimbo]

So cool that Josh is doing this! Also my favourite song on the album.. immense intro

[@mattwhite1244]

as a non-drummer, if i didn't know the kit you played on..... i'd figure you'd be playing an enormous set with tons of drums and cymbals. the simplicity of your drumset with the mastery of your craft is amazing. the song is brutally musical and rhythmic. ladders into rise melt is fantastic. the whole album felt that way. everyone wants to see you sing this song for the band while you play that. you're a legend.

[@krislarson86]

The transition from ladders into Rise literally gave me chills the first time I heard it. Maybe it wasn't what you guys envisioned, but damn. I still get excited for that transition.

[@dustinking9874]

Sick! I really wished you guys would have played this one on the tour!!

[@joshries5779]

You guys absolutely nailed it on the seamless transition from Ladders to Rise. It’s my favorite seamless song transition I’ve ever heard. It’s impossible for me to listen to Ladders without also listening to Rise as well. Thank you for doing these and thank you all for Vaxis II. I cannot get enough of it and I really think it’s the finest work you guys have ever done.

[@jwdrums8948]

I absolutely love the pride you show in your playing. You’ve outdone yourself on this record, Sir. So glad to see you giving us lifelong fans an insight into how you write your parts. 🤘

[@jakej654]

both vaxis albums are my favorite coheed to date and ive been following since 04. you absolutely crushed this one man.

[@JPhelan89]

It's funny that you mentioned that Claudio had been listening to a lot of Broadway stuff. I got that same vibe, especially after hearing the title track. That groove from 5:05 on is masterful. I love these videos. Thanks for the content Josh!

[@kevintickell2452]

The control you show when writing the drum pieces is so impressive. It would be very easy for a drummer to go overboard with the amount of kick and snare in the main groove, and the endless fills of different variety, but your returning to the same drum ‘sentences’ that work make them as important as a guitar lick that gets used multiple times in a song. Inspiring Josh, love it.

[@jcs192]

The shoutout to Zach Cooper was awesome. Love you two together.

[@gabesaenz9837]

Josh, yes we DO want to hear you sing!

[@rsm1161]

Keep these up! What awesome commentary! You are obvious as excited as we are breaking these songs down. I love your passion!

[@apt7prod]

You guys are unreal, how the hell do you continue to be so good? No band has ever been this good for such a long time. I'm so glad you came back man. Ur my favorite drummer of all time. Ur passion is unmatched. This song was such an insane surprise in particular. Just unreal. Can't wait for the next vaxis album. Unbelievably excited for the present and future of this band

[@tylernachtman]

I’m just so glad you came back. No disrespect to Chris Pennie or Taylor Hawkins, but your drumming with Coheed is exactly what the band needs.

[@magicman1798]

you can tell that all the members have mad respect for eachother

[@jackshephard2044]

Thanks for doing this. This is really fucking cool!

[@ALLDAY-tt9qw]

I'm glad I get the same emotional reactions to certain points in the song as Josh. Epic Epic Epic.

[@Felix5513]

"Tapestry of Coheed soundscapes" . What a good description.

[@serafinsalgado6248]

This commentary is amazing! Im not sure how possible it would be but you doing this same thing with older stuff would be a dream.

[@KjtheGreatPro]

I love this song. Its perfectly arranged or whatever haha. Each section is exactly as long as it should be. It moves you through each section like a fine film on a saturday afternoon in france with your lover on your arm and some fine 1942 chateau in your glass.

[@TruthBomb_101]

Ladders merges into Rise perfectly imo. 🤘Amazing drumming man, looks so smooth and natural.

[@Bigcatsvinyl]

Never stop these videos Josh

[@pursuitofsanity]

Allow me to reassure you that you guys totally got the seamless transition from Ladders to Rise absolutely perfect. It literally gives me chills. Every. Damn. Time.

[@chrislendzion382]

Your approach to the drums is so unique and refreshing. Great compliment to coheed’s music. Definitely a big inspiration for me.

[@thisbridgehascables]

Love watching these videos. You look so into the song, just your body language alone is telling.. feeling out the music, the anticipation, you’re all in and add what elevates the song..

[@vmac7531]

This is so amazing. My nine year old nephew doesn’t know it yet but, he’s learning Vaxis II starting this week lol. Great job! These videos, like all your content (especially the tour updates!) are amazing! Can’t wait to see y’all in Boston tomorrow!! 🖤🤍

[@Wilhe1mScreamMedia]

This is all excellent! Made my week, please do more songs!

[@sinisterchin1592]

Fully invested in these videos. loving it man

[@cflash2785]

Yoooo this is sick! Hearing Josh play when I was younger was one of the reasons I started playing drums. I'd love to see some play throughs of some older Coheed songs too. Always wanted to see vids of those better never found any. Sweet!

[@MikeGeney]

I love how this song blends into Rise so much because of the drums. Rise is great but it felt a little out of place to me when it came out because we didn't have this context. So cool!

[@marcfattey5250]

Just saw you in Buffalo… Incredible. Now I’m deep diving and loving it. Grateful !

[@katifontana9179]

incredible. What a fun fucking channel man, I'm totally diggin it

[@tylerscott5370]

I’d love to see you make more of these commentary videos. Thanks for putting this together.

[@mashbandicootmashups]

My favorite from this incredible album. Your feel in drumming is insane, it’s the same feeling I get from Ringo when listening to the Beatles. Song honestly wouldn’t be the same without the drum parts!

[@kevinkorus2603]

These videos are fun. You are my favorite drummer of all time.

[@brenanhindermann4194]

Dude I love your commitment to the theatrical side of Coheed #makeamorywarsamovie

[@gailja]

I can't believe I didn't know you were doing this!! Lol love hearing you talk about the music. It's great seeing band members enjoying the music they make 😊. Keep being the shit bruv 👍

[@maugdw]

For the record ladders into rise is not only seamless it is magical

[@christopherwaldron8666]

Josh your amazing thank you for posting these videos can't wait to see more. And can't wait to see you guys in Berkeley next month. Than you for being you love you man

[@DaruhtheeOfOz]

i'm so glad we have the same favorite song lol. this is one of the best story telling songs i've ever heard from yall for REAL. the arguing guitars in the beginning is definitely my favorite though. wicked storytelling through music. that's why Coheed is my alltime favorite.

[@DaruhtheeOfOz]

and dude this track blends PERFECTLY with Rise! my second favorite lol

[@kylegordon00]

Love this! Please keep putting these up. It's so great to get insights of the decisions and mood you're going for on these songs.

[@joeroeder3742]

HELL yeah you've got a KZbin! I was so psyched when you got back into the fold with Coheed, I'm super proud of you doin the work and not giving up and whatnot. I got sober in 2016 so knowing that one of my favorite musical artists is also doing the damn thing makes me feel a little less alone. Keep throwing out nasty beats and brutal fills man, and I'll keep banging my head along with ya!

[@joeroeder3742]

See you on the 7th in STL sir!

[@nicolodion]

Josh, you've got a great singing voice. I was actually listening to some of your Mours songs the other day and thinking that I'd love to hear more Josh vocals in Coheed stuff.

[@bangeranginretroman3064]

Fave coheed moment at black Sunday's end, hearing everuones vocals so distinctly

[@jimboscustoms]

Why has it taken me so long to find this channel glad i did so good dude 👊

[@dumplin01]

the first listen through the album hearing that ladders to rise transition, man it brings back those classic coheed chills like listening to in keeping secrets for the first time

[@KyleMechler]

These videos are incredible. I want to dig out the sticks.

[@scottweber3765]

Can we talk about that kickass Upgrade HipHop hoodie you're repping?

[@sosaic]

K. I. N. G. I’ve wanted the drum cams for so long that I didn’t consider how much more badass the commentary version would be. This is our modern version of listening to vinyl reading notes from the artists. What a treat. Thank you, Josh! 💎

[@clarenceblea3567]

And as a drummer you're drumming is epic

[@jatin7361]

I can't think of anyone I'd rather watch a ball game with and shoot the shit about music. I'm no drummer, but this content is fantastic. Thanks, Josh!

[@FlapNasty3]

You know Imma need that Comatose breakdown at some point, right? Lol

[@2PhoneJorge]

Cliiiiimbing! Up the ladders of their supremacy!

[@clarenceblea3567]

I wouldn't mind hearing you sing I love your the rap tracks you lay down

[@jonahbacon2415]

So cool

[@Awnos]

I love how much you love your bands music.

[@greyetch]

coheed has always been Josh's favorite band lol

[@mattl240]

Now we need Comatose! I want to see them double kicks

[@BJGSolo]

My thought as well! I wanna see that tune just for his right foot

[@matthewjamesgosselin]

1:34-1:46 is golden commentary without any commentary. haha love you man. i would love for each band member to do these! (a high hope i know). keep em comin!

[@darylljann]

Thank you for sharing! We love more of these!

[@magus1315]

Josh over here literally playing like coheeds secret weapon. Honestly just a fuckin gangster drum track to bring to life such a kickass song.

[@edenslostcreates]

Get it! That groove into Rise is soooo fucking sweet, when it hit the first time I listened to the album, I was immediately pumped. Y'all are the kings of a solid transition 👏

[@dankerr2828]

New favourite channel instantly. Thank you for the goosebumps man

[@parker1067]

Would love to see some more of these but a deep dive into some older albums 😬 maybe the last 4 songs off Good Apollo 😬😬😬

[@gramarsuperstar]

I'm not a drummer but I am loving these vids mate...keep doing what you're doing Josh - absolute legend

[@mammon_is_god]

This video inspires, Josh. It inspires.

[@klee350z]

Josh, I really hope you do one of these for Comatose, it would be awesome to hear your insight on that tune!

[@superkamizack2]

The transition between Ladders and Rise is awesome, and you nailed it! This song kicks so much ass!

[@noided_x2963]

I really love your commentary and drumming videos man! I'd love to maybe see some vids of you talking about some older songs from albums like Afterman or something since I think you shine a lot on those 2 records

[@noahmiller6193]

Again, I really appreciate the stripped down production for these ones, your drumming has so much finesse to it, throwing samples all over it like the record just muddies it, and does you such a disservice. Completely missed that last groove on the album, absolutely killer as always \M/

[@WeerdScienceTV]

Yeah that last groove probably should have been clearer and more obviously drums but… I gotta pick my battles

[@ApolloStarIV]

So fucking good! Im so pumped for these uploads!

[@lancienwetrust]

When drum parts have a soul. Thanks for those emmotional music. You have french fans, don't forget to visite us 😁❤️

[@cartoune]

Love the commentary on the playthroughs, do all the songs!

[@dylanrawson123456789]

Such an amazing person and drummer. So glad you found your way back buddy. Love from tejas. Y’all’s show was SICK btw 😮‍💨🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽

[@patrickstoddard6610]

Favorite song on the record

[@coreyw5981]

I want a playthrough and commentary for so many coheed classic songs! Would love to see you play through them and continue to explain your thought process

[@Bakucryptid77]

More praise man, still love these vids. Absolutely wouldn’t mind a breakdown of all the songs on vaxis, even if some of them don’t end up being mega insightful or whatever it’s fascinating to hear the creative process

[@bigdaddypatty2420]

How about a Goodnight Fair Lady play through, Josh?

[@GabeSegura801]

I love these vids keep em coming!!!

[@iambucketdotcom_official]

I love hearing your commentary!

[@kevinstobbe]
