That empty china hit in the chorus gives it such a cool little accent. It's not always easy to write catchy drums parts, but stuff like that always makes it happen. Killed it.

[@jensmith8216]

craig is goated at writing drums - they become integral part of the songs - his haarp work is ridiculous

[@nickpov3y]

I love what you did with leaving the mistakes in, and then going even further pointing out where they were, demonstrating them and then having a bit of metric modulation fun at the end. The drumming community needs more of this radical honesty and transparency

[@rcollingridge1]

Craig is such a drummer’s drummer, it’s unreal

[@AvStevieStevenJamesDrums]

The new Zildjians sound so much brighter

[@cjwallgor]

In the best way possible 😊

[@nathandrums0]

They seem to fit the music so much better honestly.

[@S54play]

10/10 implied metric modulation

[@michael_angelo]

That china cuts so perfect.

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

For a live stream, that mix is unbelievable!

[@DaiMurasaki]

Nolly, bruh

[@probablynotian]

This is one of my favorite gym jams.

[@layzeesnoozin]

Zildjians win. Especially for this kind of music which I’ve listened to for 30 years. It’s not even a contest.

[@darionwhite3208]

You’re a real one. Thanks for being such an honest cat.

[@marysue3164]

I've watched this through that many times. Just, like... wot? dude must be using every single neuron in his head as if it's nothing.

[@SimonAlexanders]

that kit sounds so good

[@Sackettdude]

I was SCREAMING when that modulation hit. So sick!

[@ErikHansenDrums]

unreal sound, unreal playing

[@smalltubes]

This guy is a beast

[@danielgoldblatt8036]

Very cool of you to do these play throughs. I’m finding them really helpful. it is appreciated

[@feaarsomee3862]

Sick playthrough dude! Also would you be able to do a natty or not video on Nick Yacyshyn the drummer for Baptists? The guy is insane!!

100% there are some sick Sumac videos of him too. Never been in the same room w someone hitting the drums as hard as that guy

[@ScottBrunelleMusic]

problem is its no contest with natty....theres not even samples in either of those bands

[@Jord02121]

Really dig the china accents, and overall the fills and accents are a lot of fun. Hell yeah!

[@thegodphreaker]

Insane skill Go Craig!

[@pbannink3814]

These cymbals sound fucking sick \w/

[@NikkLiberos]

I am still in awe of the tom and snare PERFECT unison on 2:05. Had to go back three times to make sure that he is playing the snare.

[@severreality]

Been waiting for this!! 🤘

[@hugorezende199]

the same here, I struggle on the first songs of my setlist sometimes because im still adapting. Im always loosing sticks in the beggining because im trying to not grip hard and choking the stick. Warming up on pad indeed helps. Also, those brighter cymbals blends more with your music, dry cymbals are nice but dont appear and cut as much. Great writing in this song.

[@michael_angelo]

Lets fucking go. Pick up your sticks boys!

[@danielgoldblatt8036]

Cool as fuck man…loving those Fat Hats. They sound immense

[@ramajamalam]

alternate drum parts were goofy as fuck and i am here for it

[@westonlacewell6955]

Really love the drumming man. The kit sounds perfect.

[@tdogg1281]

That kit sounds amazing. Awesome drummer

[@ARTala88]

Really good drummer

[@Garage-1881]

This version sounds so fucking good between the Zil bois and the Walnut Birch Starclassics the bass drum literally hits much fatter/punchier than the albums. I know the levels etc are obviously different here but fuck bro it sounds so damn good!!! 🖤⚡️🖤
