[@GunDrummer]

I'm a simple man. I see Art playing drums on the internet, I hit like.

[@onlineguy1984]

literally couldnt be a more perfect replacement for a legend in Chris Adler. Really dig what this band sounds like with a new man on the throne. Love watching Mr Cruz. Sick drummer

[@docksidemarine4273]

Im gonna have to agree with you. His style fits like a glove.

[@Jord02121]

Because he's copying Chris' style? lol

That cymbal set is gorgeous

HIT it like it owes you money! 🤘 3:37 that cymbal grab to cymbal fill was epic!

It's hard to replace a really good drummer. This guy is a really good fit. Super awesome.

[@StevenPGonzalez626]

Hes come a long way.

[@caden0622]

It’s fun to watch Art’s progression as an artist. This guy has improved so much over the past 5 years. His execution and skill set is remarkable.

[@StevenPGonzalez626]

Since his Azusa days

[@glyde1436]

I shit you not, I’ve watched this at LEAST 40 times today. SO good 🔥🔥🔥

[@Bodom92]

Art Cruz is a machine. I got to meet him a while ago, i asked for a photo while he was onstage not thinking that he’d actually come down and take a photo with me, but he did and I got to talk to him a bit. Hes genuinely a nice guy. LoG is lucky to have found him.

[@dthayes6764]

I got to meet him at Sweetwater drum day this year, he was such a down to earth and nice guy, he told me and my mom not to rush because there was a long line. He signed all my stuff and even wished my mom a happy mothers day.

[@prhmusic]

I saw Adler twice - interviewed him before the first time I saw him play - and I have seen Cruz twice. I wish nothing but the best for Adler and nothing but the best for Cruz. I started playing drums in 1980, and I am not even close to being able to play drums like either of these dudes. I guess I just don't get the point of saying drummer A is better than his replacement. Music is about chemistry between the musicians, and it's not easy to find the perfect fit.

[@NikkLiberos]

The way he moves his upper body along with his legs on 2:52 is freaking awesome!!!

[@glyde1436]

Getting every bit of power he can! What a monster! 🤘🏻

[@twotornfins]

I recall watching an interview with him, where he talks about being a showman, and doing things on purpose for people to call out like this. Dude loves his fans.

[@sebastian-gs9ff]

And what exactly is he doing??

[@bryanst.germain4963]

lol i was just going to comment that,never seen a drummer do that,fucken rad

[@kntbaden]

@@sebastian-gs9ff i spose counter weighting the momentum of his legs playing that double bass riff, like when you move your arms when running, hes getting more power out of his legs instead of just tightening his core.

[@thegoonbats]

My favorite part of this song is when Randy says, "Let freedom ring!", and Art goes hard on the bell 🤘 Such a sick performance, thank you Art for your contributions to the world of metal! 🙏

[@tadelom9]

I like how you can see the intensity in his playing to the point where you can even feel his chops

[@greghampton71]

At 2:52 that triplet kick pattern that mimicks the guitar is badass! I hadn't heard L.O.G. since Chris left but man I am hugely digging Art's drumming and his overall power! Glad I rediscovered them. I also love Hourglass. That song rips as well!

[@jitzwa]

it’s not triplets, but agreed

[@greghampton71]

@@jitzwa OK. Pattern of three?

[@jitzwa]

@@greghampton71 yeah groups of three sixteenth notes

[@greghampton71]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I count that as 1-e-and, 2-e-and, 3-e-and. Three groups of three notes. I've always known sixteenths to be 1-e-and-uh.

[@jitzwa]

@@greghampton71 maybe you’re right, the song is in 3/4 so it may be triplets

I saw them live in Chicago a couple months ago. Highly recommend you see them live. Arts playing is phenomenal

[@thatjacksondude858]

I've been lucky enough to see them with both Chris and Art on drums, and I can confidently say that they found the best possible person for the job. Both are absolute monstrous drummers.

[@MrSullyE]

I really like that you can hear the accidental rim shot at 0:27 it shows even the pros makes small mistakes sometimes other than that it was perfect.

terrific playing! Might be the first metal guy I've seen rocking a Ludwig kit but they sound fantastic.

[@GameSpyDarkAge]

I see the set list and am praying we get the full gig drum cam before the year is out 🤞

[@SyntheticFuture]

I still think it's hilarious that I didn't know Chris Adler was no long drumming for Lamb of God until I saw live footage of their new tracks (I had the album on repeat on a streaming service😅). Art perfectly captures everything that made Lamb of God so iconic. Now that I know it's not Chris I can definitely hear the nuances in Art's playing that separates it from Chris Adler but I don't think I've ever seen a band member being replaced sound this seamless. Absolutely amazing job.

[@bloodlustdrummer]

man whoever wrote these drum parts need kudos, way sick!

I have had the opportunity to see both Chris and Art live numerous times during LOG shows, they are both incredible drummers but in my opinion as much as Chris was very technical, I find Art just brings more emotion while playing. Art couldn't have been a better replacement. 🤘🤘
