Meinl Cymbals - Jay Postones - "King" by TesseracT

[@NickyByloo]

Jay Postones is one of the best cymbal integrators with his rhythm work

[@adamconover8950]

He and Clay A from Polyphia are prob my top 2 if we're focusing on their cymbal mastery

[@7c2d]

I wonder how many times the phrase ‘cymbal integrators’ has been used over the ages. There’s at least two I know of

[@adamconover8950]

@@7c2d the only other famous symbol integrators I can think of wore patches and a lot of really chunky crosses

[@NickyByloo]

@@7c2d I might have heard it subconsciously. That's usually how I pick up vocabulary. Phrases usually stick with me without me knowing.

[@yourself88xbl]

Halpern always comes to mind when I think cymbals

[@adamalexanderray]

Playing is brilliant. Whoever engineered, mixed and mastered this also did a great job. Everything sounds so good.

[@shrey_kundra]

That would be Acle, the band's main songwriter, producer and engineer.

[@adamconover8950]

TesseracT is solid through and through

[@behindthen0thing525]

Nolly

[@diacoal2433]

​@@shrey_kundraWhile Acle does all of Tesseract's mixing and engineering (brilliantly, sure), the meinl videos are mixed by somebody else who works with them.

[@breadnaut]

Master class in cymbal choice and knowing your place in the song as a drummer.

[@drummachine5787]

Pretty sure acle writes all the drum parts

[@Dyingwood.]

@@drummachine5787 no, acle just programs parts when he is writing the songs. there’s no reason for him to try and write for Jay you’re probably thinking of the first album (well, the CF ep at least) which was all programmed, and jay learned it to audition for the band

[@katsaridas1000]

You can hear Dan screaming Booow doooooown!!! Jay robotically precise as usual. Perfect

[@janocronismo]

Jay: Looks like a cool math teacher Is a beast behind the drums Has an epic beard

[@Hardcorepunk87]

Jano: Is right about Jay

[@BodaciousH]

Jay: Also can count to 11 multiple times

[@TheUmart]

nice drumming mr. white

[@usaflagraybans]

Jay: is Nolly if he played drums.

[@Ch1ckenKatsu]

That splash hit at 1:24 is perfect

[@Santiagoperroud_music]

Such a power this song , is awesome that slow tempo feeling and that thickness at same time , love it!!!

[@the_vinson]

Thickness is an excellent word to describe the drum mix.

[@micharosinski4812]

Check out the whole album, their best effort do far.

[@tommaw3204]

3:08 - 3:24 is just so masterful! And jay just makes it all look so effortless.

[@TSR5000]

Jay's drumming is always a treat to watch as well as listen. The way he moves between cymbals is so fluid.

[@Cosmic_Sunrise]

Man, this is such a well composed and performed piece. Not to mention, the sound engineering all around is stellar. Great work!

[@matheuscarvalhodrums2972]

Mind boggling, just that. It’s so amazing how he can arrange to play the cymbals and put such a groove.

[@gandalfdengra5580]

Severely underrated drummer and band. New album this year is gonna go off!

[@januszo.2180]

Ah yes. The hidden instrumental versions :) always happy to hear

[@Imaddrums]

It still blows my mind Jay is with Meinl now. Jay you sound so good with meinl cymbals and these playthroughs are amazing. All of these songs inspired me a ton throughout high school and college it is so dope to see these being played!

[@deweytucker5413]

Wow this is a pleasure to watch. You sound like an entire orchestra of percussion. Precise of course, but you stand out with the feeling you make through your music. It’s music you’re making, not just drumming for a band. So impressive. You create your own world.

[@drummerdan95]

God I love that opening groove

[@natehaskey9300]

That CHINA! Good lawd. I get goosebumps every time it hits that A on the verses with the swells behind it

[@voherdrums]

What a compression on the snare drum. Insane!

[@barrydeyalsingh5450]

Love to see the pure joy on his face while playing!!!

[@DiegoPujolT]

Incredible drummer, song, and mix.

[@Aozora333]

This man's drumming is some of my favorite ever

[@somedudemark]

man the build and release from 4:12 is just magical

[@dromerboi]

Jay has always needed the best sound for his cymbals and now they can make his playing style stand out, we want the whole album please ❤

[@birgermuller3687]

This is an impressive demonstration of the possibilities of the human mind. Cymbals sound accordingly.

[@gballmaier]

i dont know if any other drummer out there makes playing drums look soo damn fun, than Jay. His friggen Diddle Ghost notes are seriously tight! Thank you Jay!!!

[@juanmerlan222]

Awesome song, awesome performance and awesome kit

[@dmndxdave]

mix is fucjin gas, maybe the best sounding floor tom i’ve ever heard

[@MannyMo_]

Meinl cymbals are the best cymbals on this universe. They offer so many different colors, qualities, and quantity. Definitely worth investing on Meinl cymbals!

[@shimmuus]

I have 46 years old. I'm a drummer and I've listened to metal my whole life. Jay is my favorite drummer.

[@asheshinfinite3766]

Somehow, I'm reminded of the genius of Nolly, but on the drums! Deep respect for your talent, Sir! And Meinl, thank you, once again!👏👌👍

[@mpk6664]

Nolly is a fantastic drum engineer, so it makes sense. Plus Jay somewhat looks like Nolly.

[@douglaswentz545]

Man I have to check out this band, this song is sweet 💪

[@alexburchell1891]

Altered State will blow your mind, best enjoyed as a full album. 👌

[@misophon3000]

creatively godlike. this is so good. and this band is so great. from another planet!

[@AlexRaptakis]

The china and stack sound insane!

[@midnighthymn]

This cover got me growling with hype. This guy is a beast.

[@kosmotron963]

Love it! Epic performance. Always fun to hear Tess from a different perspective.

[@devinbuchhorn]

Jay youre a friggin BEAST! Love the playing so much. Mix is excellent also!

[@willzoo34]

I really think you guys should credit the engineers on those videos. The recording and production overall is STELLAR.

[@the_vinson]

That fill at 2:33 is sooooo taaaastyyyyy!!!!

[@koojc7456]

Wow, the sound, the composition and the playing is heavy and tight! Very nice job, to the whole team!

[@kenkamman7536]

groovy, smooth, & tasty as always! 🤘

[@jmbpuremix]

Jay postones, tremendo baterista es una bestia total, abrazos desde argentina.

[@youfilin]

New version! The best!!

[@Marco_Aleman]

[@MemoRiosDrummer]

great drum performance and this track in particular I think it´s just amazing..... Jay as always making #drums a real challenge to any mortal #drummer

[@justincamp5716]

Holy hell, Jay is incredible. They really need to get back to the US soon.

[@JohnHenry1331]

God I love this song.

[@pjodrums]

I don’t know what it is, but the blend between traditional and dark series is just amazing. I have a very similar set up with my kit and I absolutely looove the sound. It’s like they were meant to be together! Thanks meinl for an another yet great performance video! 😁

[@aaronsparks9012]

Jay is always so mind blowing too listen too and trying too figure out what the hell he's even playing he's awesome nice job Jay!🤯😵‍💫

[@cartergroebe3711]

I've been waiting for this one!

[@hungryshark97]

This song hits so hard! You're the man Jay!

[@ARDrummer]

So good!

[@robertpaten]

Anyone have any insight to what the snare and toms are?

[@jamestheredd]

Just found Jay here! What an absolute beast! 👌🏻

[@andrioladies]

A técnica que esse cara tem é muito impressionante.

[@danwybrow7226]

This sounds so damn good. Jay crushes it every time 🤘🏻

[@ronnyronnys257]

Senza parole , non so che dire , il sound è magnifico , spaziale

[@timb350]

Truly epic tune!!!! ...and awesome drumming.

[@motoweenies4431]

That constant high hat keeping time is such a flex

[@nandaletro]

[@mizraimtaquemoni6988]

Who remembers punk-omatic Jay remembers the faces for sure

[@PrinzerocksVideo]

Pura Belleza !!

[@jamo8378]

Dude looks like he's from Mythbusters and plays like a KING

[@chrisfranklin4061]

Why doesn't my 20" Dark Crash sound this good lol?

[@TSR5000]

Hah, I say that about so many of my cymbals! My 18" dark crash is one of the few that never disappoints though. Love the one I have.

[@chrisfranklin4061]

@@TSR5000 I've got an 18 also and love it! My 20 just seems to have an odd tone. Typically use it as a ride, actually haha

[@ozzku]

That’s just how it is with raw cymbals. All of them sound different.

[@dingusDemon]

masterpiece

[@MetalGonza15]

Una bestia total el colorado

[@jorgecarlosc_]

FUCKING LOVE YOU, JAY!

[@typick7964]

so G O O D

[@andreashofmeyr9583]

Quite like the dark crash coming out of the song. Subtle but very nice.

[@basse.r]

Why are there vocals at the end?

[@CynicalSmoke77]

So fucking cleannnnn

[@Dreadwinner]

💚

[@mistabobdobalina7319]

Serious question. Is there a better drummer (RE: approach/quality) than Jay? The answer is no. This was more of of a rhetorical question. Jay is the best and that’s the end of all of that.

[@BadHatNZ]

back in the piss room with another banger

[@Soares2Guilherme]

GOAT

[@craigfrober316]

Might want to double check your description, Meinl.

Holy ghost notes

[@evanthomasbruneau]

[@lucasperoto8163]
