Thanks to everyone for watching! & of course thanks so much to Meinl for putting this together. 🙌

[@luis720lm]

Damn hyperdrive toms allow for such good tom placement. Good stuff man, going to give this song a go on the ole Starclassic/Byzance kit!

[@mattnormandrums]

Love this video. First time seeing you play. Excited to see more!

[@thesportsguy3609]

PLEASE keep posting these playthroughs!

[@dylanburke5739]

So cool seeing an ATLien kicking ass like this

[@TShandDrums]

Great play through and tight playing as always 🤘

[@KirkWilson86]

This instrumental version really showcases Keaton's skills on the guitar. Blows my mind

[@coma594]

yeah this mix truly shows how talented they all are like holy f

[@davidm5415]

glad im seeing other people agree with me - the final mix on the album is so horrible

[@maxalaintwo3578]

Best metalcore band to ever exist. No hyperbole

[@wrouxmer]

Strong statement. They are good though.

[@KevinnDrums]

JESUS. Literally one of the best in the scene right now! Killed it!

[@KevinQ25]

Would be better if he wrote what he played in IA

[@whophead6837]

​@@KevinQ25 That's between them. Not your concern.

[@KevinQ25]

@@whophead6837 ?? I’m just saying it’s not as impressive since he doesn’t right IA stuff 😂. What’s your problem?🤡

[@chaoscinereous]

@@KevinQ25 have you heard the parts he writes for Satyr? he's actually pretty good at writing . and its pretty hard to master parts written by someone else (who probably tailors parts to their own playstyle). music is not about being impressive anyway; that's usually a byproduct of just playing good ass music

[@OrtyAnderson]

Been following this guy for years now, good to see him on the channel!

[@ND-iz6dd]

Same! Brody's a beast!

[@Imaddrums]

Brody. You absolutely SMASHED this Jesus bro🔥🔥🔥

[@kevinaman8266]

Brody is just unreal, trully an inspiration for me

[@organicmilk5]

Such an interesting technique on the right hand 1:23 so dope

[@gSWG3R]

He's just playing a dotted 8th note shuffle. The notes played on the downbeat are what you hear, he fills in those gaps with dotted 8th notes played very softly. We do this as drummers to stay in time better.

[@meekchase]

this man took the scene by absolute storm. beast of a cover.

[@kingnary9th688]

he’s their live drummer rn too!

[@XfreshcakesX]

Not really a cover, as much as it is a playthrough

[@rmdhananjay2561]

This song is therapy! 🧘‍♂️

[@brett5569]

This dude is insane. I hope you recorded more than 1 song

[@GregS89]

Dear Invent Animate, please make Brody a permanent member!

[@kevinaman8266]

I second this

[@str1897]

I love Trey but this guy is really great Plus, with joining FFAK, i think it may be hard for Trey to manage both bands

[@JoshKlinglerDrums]

I third this ❤

[@maxalaintwo3578]

@@str1897 fairly certain Trey will make the switch permanently in time. Sad to see him go, but great to see Brody come in!

Absolute BEAST MODE

[@chrisfranklin4061]

Sick as always, Meinl!

[@Coastfog]

I switched to the Heavy 2B recently, and I fckn *love* them. Feel great, sound great, durable af. My only criticism would be that they don't make me play like Brody.

[@jacobarnoldmusic]

Loving those Byzance Mediums!

[@Kobrakopf_Delikat]

Great song and great job on the drums! ❤🔥

[@stephenthomson6230]

Really enjoyed the play through and what an amazing song! The video for the song is scary AF. Brilliant. Cheers🤘

[@farmer5001]

So sick; glad to see him ripping

[@MirkoFustinoni]

He uses the exact same amount of drums/cymbals in the same placement as i do lol Killer drumming on a killer song, Invent Animate is one of those bands I've been definitely sleeping on!

[@mcmaker526]

I love to see some invent animate

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

Oh, that was a strong performance 🫡

YESSS BRODYY

No u

[@Bendrums]

THE BEST

[@hannesdrumss]

Meinl cymbals and Tama Hyperdrives make a great combination. Also, this song slaps hardddd.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

He rivals Chris Turner in unique drum faces and posture.

[@kwinkzpower]

Not close in skills tho but Brody still slaps!!

[@PierceAkers]

@@kwinkzpower i’d say very close in skill, man is monster behind the kit!

[@brenthernandez6203]

Super talented drummer. I remember seeing him play for Alluvial last year for the Rivers Of Nihil tour. Had no idea he was in Invent Animate too.

Y'all should check out his band Satyr as well! Dude is killer behind the kit.

[@samuelbassani1845]

who's mixing these videos? they sound killer!

[@keithchristen8497]

Seen bro with Alluvial and he's legit

[@TylerCookdrums]

holy hell

[@XfreshcakesX]

The question is…should they have had Brody or Trey do this video?? Trey doesn’t seem to want the spotlight with this band anymore even tho he’s the one recording and spending his other time with FFAK, while Brody tours with IA. Or so I’ve heard. We’re missing the massive reverb on the snare too! Either way, glad to see this band getting the recognition they deserve!

[@cloudrise]

It should be Brody because he just recently officially joined the band. That is the reason Trey doesn't want the spotlight, him and Brody are great friends and has made a great transition for Brody to shine.

[@braindeadleo]

​@@cloudrisenice pfp my guy

[@cloudrise]

@@braindeadleo thanks dude, IA are my favs 👌

[@braindeadleo]

@@cloudrise i was so blown away by Heavener that they've become my fav band. I knew them before but holy shit was Heavener special

[@braindeadleo]

@@cloudrise I'm gonna be uploading an Immolation of Night guitar cover soon!

[@poopguy6208]

yooo wait isnt he from satyr

[@uglypineapple03]

He's supporting Invent Animate on tour, but he's a full member in Satyr

[@NicolasPBJ]

Also the drummer of Things Amazing

[@claytonrath8033]

Seeing an Invent Animate song on Meinl's channel feels weird haha. Sick tho

[@meinlcymbals]

Why weird?

[@claytonrath8033]

​@@meinlcymbals Good question. I feel like the guitar riffs of the band are what makes the band distinct, and the drum parts are usually overshadowed by that. I also know the drums are programmed on their new songs- honestly, this song in particular doesn't have any 'out of the ordinary' drum parts, in terms of technicality, when compared to other Meinl artists. All that to say, I never figured that their drum parts would warrant a play-through of this caliber, alongside all the other insane Meinl drummers. I say this as a huge Invent Animate fan But that just goes to show it's about highlighting the artist, not necessarily the part. Because Brody is a super skilled drummer, and even in a straight-forward song like this, you can see how good his technique, timing, and dynamics are. And also how beautiful the cymbals sound ;)

[@angelgringostarrgrajeda2381]

With THE SNARE!!!

[@l.-._.-._.-._.-._.-.l]

My brother beating the absolute piss outta his snare, hell ya dude.

[@Al-pv8gb]

If IA doesn't keep you as touring drummer I'm gonna be very upset and not have a good time

[@FLmetalhead]

When did IA get a new drummer?

[@cd_core]

I really thought he played triplets on the doubles during the main chuggy riffs

[@justinvolution]

Who wrote these drums? You or the other dude?

[@2xRainb0w]

Trey

[@keenman0403]

Trey

[@ithacapiercing6839]

cheez it

[@Timbomix]

that was wicked. he looks really stoned hehe

[@MannyMo_]

Brody is the one for invent Animate. I’m sorry Trey but your spot is officially taken.

[@thelastsith2706]

Doesn’t Trey still write with IA? I’m not sure if the man Brody actually wrote these drums but I am curious to know

[@MannyMo_]

@@thelastsith2706 Trey hasn’t departed from the band yet so I would say he still writes with IA. Brody is just subbing for Trey but Brody will take Treys spot either after the album is released or next year.

[@Daleninar]

Why does it seem like he's sleeping while playing this?

[@davidm5415]

as an instrumental, I find that I can appreciate this song and genuinely enjoy it without marcus’ vocals. The only issue I have with this song is the lack of creativity during the breakdown. great drumming
