Meinl Cymbals - Austin Archey - “Sun//Eater” by Lorna Shore

[@melomaniac334]

Normalize drummer playthroughs and drum cams! We can't see drummers well enough at shows, so this is priceless. I appreciate the heck out of this man - he deserves more accolades. It is a joy to watch him perform. Plays like a true savage, but with a chill demeaner. Watch all the Lorna Shore musicians - they're all so skilled, they make the epic look effortless. Thank you MEINL Cymbals for this amazing look into Austin's talent once again.

[@figmentofyourimagination5359]

One of the metal bands I went to see years ago had the drum kit turned to the side instead of facing the crowd head on. You could see everything he was doing and it was insane. You couldn't take your eyes off the guy. I've always wondered since then why more bands don't do this. People want to see the drummer. This really is something that needs to change and be adopted into live performances.

[@silentcurrents]

How the hell does he remember all the hits ? That’s insane. EDIT; I KNOW HE WROTE THE FUCKING SONG. I’m just complimenting his talent.

[@MikeandKatieShow]

Everyone always says how amazing people play (which is true) but I’m always like how to they memorize a full albums worth of all the drums lol

[@evangalinsky2499]

I can never remember them all at once but in sections. Once I start one section I know what comes next. After that unless I REALLY have the song memorized, I don't remember much if anything. And by sections I mean usually about 30 seconds to a minute, not actual song sections.

[@MrManuSmith]

I was thinking the same with the drummer of Cattle Decapitation!

[@Jay.0999]

i’m assuming it’s just like trying to learn a series of new tricks on a skateboard. Or memorizing a script or lyrics of a song! A lot of takes and practice!! 🤘🏽🔥🔥

[@DeathByApplesauce394]

muscle memory is powerful af! when I drummed, it was definitely more my body in charge of playing than my mind, you know? you get into the zone and let the muscles take over.

@@nahadoth2087he aint wrong tho

[@nolankuffner3573]

​@@ElMasBuscado157 he is though. Literally the ONLY thing he commented on was the pedals. Practice blast beats isn't the same as having near perfect timing, total body control, and the ability to maintain focus across the whole kit for an hour long set (or longer). There's a reason he gets given cymbals and featured on their KZbin page multiple times.

[@ElMasBuscado157]

@@nolankuffner3573 the timing of the music is 4/4 nothing crazy other than the speed, lorna shore doesn’t really do hour long sets, he’s composed because he doesn’t play hard its all triggered, if you were to hear that raw it would sound different guaranteed

[@esavage8855]
