[@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.

[@breadnaut3087]

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

[@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.

[@katsaridas1000]

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

[@Cosmic_Sunrise]

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

[@januszo.2180]

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

[@gandalfdengra5580]

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

[@TSR5000]

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

[@birgermuller3687]

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

[@matheuscarvalhodrums2972]

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

[@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. 👌

[@DiegoPujolT]

Incredible drummer, song, and mix.

[@Ch1ckenKatsu]

That splash hit at 1:24 is perfect

[@midnighthymn]

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

[@somedudemark]

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

[@AlexRaptakis]

The china and stack sound insane!

[@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!!!

[@devinbuchhorn]

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

[@tommaw3204]

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

[@JohnHenry1331]

God I love this song.

[@koojc7456]

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

[@motoweenies4431]

That constant high hat keeping time is such a flex

[@knowhandedbob]

Good lord I hope that China was 18

[@hungryshark97]

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

[@ericpeoples8442]

Who remembers punk-omatic Jay remembers the faces for sure

[@drummerdan95]

God I love that opening groove

[@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!

[@the_vinson]

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

[@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.

[@juanmerlan222]

Awesome song, awesome performance and awesome kit

[@map1978.]

Yes sir! 🔥

[@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 ❤

[@voherdrums]

What a compression on the snare drum. Insane!

[@kenkamman7536]

groovy, smooth, & tasty as always! 🤘

[@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.

[@Aozora333]

This man's drumming is some of my favorite ever

[@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

[@jmbpuremix]

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

[@dmndxdave]

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

[@natehaskey9300]

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

[@jamo8378]

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

[@willzoo34]

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

[@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.

[@andreashofmeyr9583]

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

[@misophon3000]

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

[@kosmotron963]

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

[@robertpaten]

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

[@justincamp5716]

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

[@diemcarl5546]

Jay is 🤘🤘🤘 freakin' dope ass drummer. Love'im

[@barrydeyalsingh5450]

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

[@PrinzerocksVideo]

Pura Belleza !!

[@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!

[@Marco_Aleman]

What an absolute monster !

[@AttilatheThrilla]

Those cymbals are worth more than your life

[@MetalGonza15]

Una bestia total el colorado

[@DiamondLifer]

His style reminds me of Gavin Harrison.

[@evanthomasbruneau]

Holy schnitzels batman!

[@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.

[@ARDrummer]

So good!

[@gabopenav]

Jake “octo”Postones 🐙

The Ghost Note King

[@andrioladies]

A técnica que esse cara tem é muito impressionante.

[@basse.r]

Why are there vocals at the end?

[@youfilin]

New version! The best!!

GOAT

[@CynicalSmoke77]

[@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!🤯😵‍💫

[@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! 😁

[@shimmuus]

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

[@lucasperoto8163]
