Now THAT'S a cymbal demonstration!

[@jacksontsukahara3798]

i accidentally read this as “cymbal decimation” but honestly it’s just as accurate

[@mickeyconnor830]

I think they all sound too similar in this mix. I prefer drastically different tones.

[@Dsullivann]

Djent back in the early 2010s was such an exciting time, tesseract were definitely at the forefront at that time.

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

The early 2010s was a very good time for metal im general. Just before spotify over saturated everything

[@emptycloud2774]

Agreed

[@voidwalker985]

Agreed 100%

[@zozo11221]

Agreed, Tesseract was there with Periphery and i love both bands so much.

[@adamsusskind8439]

Really cool to see the evolution of this performance over the last decade. There's a fluidity to Jay's execution here that is hard to match unless you've had a ton of touring experience playing this tune. Nice to compare to the old Century Media Records full band playthrough from 2010 or 2011.

[@cosmokramer1213]

I swear you plucked that exact thought from my mind. He's playing the hell out of it now!

[@Muskoxing]

This was the song that got me into metal back in the day.

[@tulpasconstructor2711]

So awesome to see some classic Tesseract played!

[@veenoir1991]

Jay is one of my favorite drummers. And TesseracT is one of my favorite bands. Last night I actually finally played all the way through "smile" with only a couple mess ups 💪💪

[@bass.of.comrades2073]

Yohhhhhh, congrats to you & your progress, dood!

[@ashwinjacob7336]

Jay looks so much more comfortable and free on a dynamic kit with all those real cymbals than on his eKit.

[@andyham6094]

One of the best Meinl Playthroughs ever in the history of this channel. Awesome awesome song and awesome awesome playing. What a great addition to meinl’s roster. Tesseract’s music and jay’s playing really is a perfect combo with Meinl cymbals. These meinls sound wayyyy better in the mix of tesseract as a whole when compared to all the times I’ve heard this song played with his sabian cymbals. But then again whoever mixed this is a beast and that’s also part of it but seen them live numerous times and once recently with his new meinls and the set just sounded better all together being a gearhead and listening to the cymbal tones. The dark trashy meinls just sat perfectly with tesseract and their tuning and their songs.

[@hailstone_]

Agreed

[@MeloMiceli]

The end of the video is GOLD

[@DrummeroftheVoid]

I have waited 84 years for this video. Bless you ❤❤❤

[@stewartj90]

Proper "I knew him when" moment; I used to have to pay him the money my band at the time owed him for using his rehearsal room. He had hair then and was constantly infuriated by the sight of me 😂 Reading in 2008 truly was the place to be, unlikely as that may seem....

[@JayTesseracT]

Haha amazing - the ‘Rhoom’ is still running but with a new guy in charge since I moved to the US. What is / was the name of your band back then?

[@-LMND-]

Ahh, the djent drummer's mantra: If it ain't swinging, hit it! xD Man, I love Tesseract so much and Jay's playing is just incredible!

I've listened to this song maybe a trillion times but I'm still stoked at the musicality of Jay playing and this cymbal set, oh God!

[@ReefahCheef]

Jay just hears accents differently from any other drummer on earth. His cymbal work, coupled along with constant hihat work is one of a kind.

[@drumutron]

Yesssss! What an awesome evolution of this performance from the original album. Watching the years of nuance added to each section is such a treat, not mention the complete mastery honed over all these years it's such a joy to watch!

[@blueburnsred]

Yes! Do their whole catalogue!!

[@LeoPerantoni]

The camera eye contact and the stank face at the start hahaha so good

Incredibly creative, powerful and groovy drumming. The cymbals sound great as he puts them through the paces, the stack is sweet.

Jay is one of my favorite drummers! I got the opportunity to watch him this year on mexico, absolutely stunning!

[@dromerboi]

Wow! That was insane! Definitely one of the best drummers out there

[@aaronsparks9012]

I'm actually a fan of the dryer cymbal sound and a definite fan of that 20 inch China he's using in this video nice job Jay!👋🤘

[@jakeszmyt3883]

that 87" that he crashes on a lot sounds gnarly

[@tombojombo]

That 22" Vintage Crash sounds absolutely incredible

[@st00bz]

What an awesome video!!! I love that song !!!

[@king-manu2758]

This is the album that got me into tesseract

[@ZaneGage]

There's so much urgency and drive in One, I wish that they had kept that into their following records; it really set them apart from other artists at the time. Such sexy and tasteful riffs and phrasing!

[@lukakristicevic6185]

That 22'' is sublime.

[@davidcoulter1058]

Love the ending xD the playing was super clean, and the cymbal choices work really nicely: the use of a really large, really dry crash cymbal is something I don't hear super often but worked very well.

[@HoraceTheLion]

Can’t wait for the new album

[@Leviplaysdrums]

Let's comment in Portuguese expression "P*ta que Pariu"! What a play, what a song, what a drummer. The artistic side on the performance is such awesome. How Jay is so flowed, so natural, so intense, but he make it looks easy to play. What a mix! One of the most incredible drum's tone on current time.

[@theopinson3851]

Damn that floor tom looks huge! Is that an 18”?

[@billmint8122]

So, I notice that Jay's vintage crash has a different Meinl logo than the rest of the cymbals -- I've noticed this on many of my own Meinls and others across the internet. Can someone explain this? At first I thought it was specific to different models of cymbal, but I've seen two different logos on different instances of the same model -- the Benny Greb Sand Hats, for example. Seems like you guys stopped using this logo in the late 2010s.

[@bg4567890]

GOAT drum face 😂😂

[@gutorov362]

Sorry for the dumb question, but is it so important to stack cymbals by the different sizes? Let's say why you can't put two 18 inch crashes together, why is everyone puts a smaller cymbal on a bigger one?

[@JayTesseracT]

Not a dumb question at all - I’ve always had success pairing a 16” crash with a slightly smaller china - just because of how the cymbal profiles work together. The pair I’m using here, the 16” Byzance Trash Crash and the 12” Pure Alloy Mini trash china, were a bit of a shot in the dark, but man, they work so well. It’s the exact combo we used for the new TesseracT record (coming soon). There are no rules with pairing stacks though - it’s all about experimenting to create the sound you want.
