Meinl is the absolute best in the game. Thanks to them for putting this together & to anyone watchin! More vids coming soon.

[@uglypineapple03]

God I hope it's something from Satyr

[@DarylDCChestnut]

I’ve never played them, but that’s going to change soon! May have found a new home……. We’ll see though 💪. Keep rocking bro

[@DruNature]

You're a monster man! I discovered you thanks to this video and you really are crushing it, exactly where I would love to get one day!

[@sagefloop]

AYO WHAT IS THIS NOW

[@Daleninar]

I hope one of those vids is a playthrough of purity weeps because I love that song

[@jakefrenchtoast]

This guy is quite literally a machine. He's amazing in anything he plays.

[@gzahnd]

quite figuratively a machine? :)

[@pabloandreslopezsilva4270]

So happy that Brody is getting the recognition he deserves!

[@izmeqfenner8130]

So damn clean. I have no comments on how Brody is a super technical drummer and yet so tight. But we need an instrumental version of this album!!!!!

[@joelevett5037]

This guy is going goblin mode. Soooo clean and the mix slaps too 2:02 2:09 section is so good.

[@brandonboltwood9471]

That transition at 3:55 😮‍💨 so clean!

[@benheninger]

Nice, I hope Brody gets a lot more videos featured here. Such clean playing.

[@jeffclark6552]

Dude is absolute fire behind the kit. His creativity makes this new album a lot of fun.

[@nathan_nothing]

Trey is still a writing member of Invent Animate and he did all the drums for this record. Brody is their live drummer (and a beast at that!).

[@XfreshcakesX]

Thank you Meinl! Give us MORE…perhaps an entire album playthrough?

[@Quantul]

Hits even harder than the actual song !!!!!! All these metal core drummers be the best drummers I’ve ever seen

[@overhaul679]

I love it how he's just asleep for the first 20 seconds

[@TDuBs97]

This shit just sounds impossible but brody is so fuckin fluid and makes it seem so easy it’s crazy. Man’s unreal!! Also I live for the faces😂

[@KirkWilson86]

Wow that was amazing! Heavener is a masterpiece and IA are brilliant!

[@dyskr917]

My fave song from the album, absolute banger!

[@denzz8687]

is it just me or does brody kinda remind me of Alex Rudinger?

[@iffhit]

ye they both play drums and use meinl cymbals

[@gregrelmueab2142]

and lean their head forward

[@minutfilm1497]

and they both use sticks to hit

[@jaceface_24]

Most likely the playing position and mouth movements 😂

[@andyham6094]

Yeah are friends and Brody grew up idolizing rudinger. I think Brody has taken lessons with Alex too but he has taken a lot from Alex with his setup and the way he plays but imo Brody is better overall. Rudinger is a great metal drummer but Brody can play all different styles. Also this new Invent Animate album Heavener is so damn good. Love their past 2 instrumental albums Greyview and Stillworld the most though. Hope they release an instrumental version of this album soon.

[@CodeEchoMusic]

Top tier playthrough! Super high quality audio, video, and playing!

[@filipebraganca2558]

🤩🔥 those cymbals and that snare sound are just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 awesome work @Brody Taylor

[@drumsno]

He makes it look easy

[@W1GSPL1TTAH]

This is such a beautiful song. Amazing playing.

[@VegasLoungeAct]

[@emptycloud2774]

[@loganwelty7094]

Unbelievably sick

[@DruNature]

unreal! who is this guy!? Really thank you Meinl for helping me discover so many great artists recently!! That snare is simply monsterous!! This is that heavy djenty shit I crave! awe inspiring!

[@HydraSperati]

Those little cymbal accents really help shape the sound of this band

[@nibby4976]

absolute beast

[@christoph9198]

Awesome! I always wonder how they / he manages to play this tempo decrease at 3:55 in a play-through. Is he having a click which also changes tempo?

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Nice lead in to a wall of sound, and I dig the fat mix.

[@joellopez3382]

Absolute beast

[@dizzle7967]

[@Shane-zo4mg]

That was the longest 30 seconds ever

[@beanerhoppin0072]

i need to know if this is the locked in drummer for IA because I seent him live & I freaked, but I also know its nothing official on any major social media platform.... I actually first found him in I thought his locked in band, Saytr!

[@AONL6899]

👍🏻

[@MrSphinxster]

Brody's style reminds me of Boris Le Gal.

[@jayveediezmo9870]

So is he the official drummer for IA? Or is it still Trey?

[@SuperGuitardude33]

Trey writes/records, Brody tours.

[@jgeir5672]

@@SuperGuitardude33 Been wondering that myself! Ty for the info! I guess when Trey being a full time drummer for Fit For A King he doesn't have time for touring with IA
