Navene Koperweis - Animals as Leaders (Pro Shot) - CAFO Live in San Fransisco 11/2010

[@isaacclarke1597]

I love these guys. Its sad too many people mistake this for them "trying too hard to sound technical" when you can tell its just what they enjoy playing and just what comes out of them.

[@scottguitar28]

i agree. sure they're technical, but most people miss the groove side of their incredible music.

[@Joyfulcheese]

They sure make it look easy, they're all absaloutely phenomenal at what they do - not just a one trick pony in the lead.

[@muskegorunner]

Every member of this band is incredibly talented. I have to see these guys live.

[@Cdz9000]

as a drummer navene is very entertaining for me to watch in this, they were amazing live as well.

[@Cdz9000]

this is one of the best drum videos on youtube imo

[@sankypants]

how do i keep coming back to this video at least once a year

[@idn]

Great performance! Navene always rocked this song. It was his baby I guess so the part fits him well.

[@2Kakor]

Wow.. that feeling is amazing.. I can't help but smiling when listening to AAL.

[@inline88]

absolutely beautiful

[@damienkurast]

absolutely mind blowing. amazing song.

[@grindcoremaniac]

i love how versatile navene is. he played in Animosity, where he was fast as hell. he plays in Fleshwrought, where he where he shows his ability to change time signatures every 10 seconds. and he's got Animals as Leaders where he can do pretty much anything. these guys know how to play.

[@iamcharliecooper]

This still remains one of the greatest drumming performances in existence. Pure technical skill & raw passionate delivery. Navene is a beast.

[@leefchapman]

I don't want it pro shot... i want it pro sound!

[@PintoconLacras]

one of the best CAFO live I've seen.

[@CognitiveStream]

What an appropriate time for it to do so!

[@Sickdrummermagazine]

@sman865 That's Anton, the video master shedding some effect light during editing... a nice touch I thought.

[@RapeShowerBand]

Même en live ! Perfect !!

[@moreofmyselftokiII]

i just watched this 3 times unconsciously knowing it.. i cant comprehend the talent in this video >.

[@inimicalODDITY]

man, this is like the perfect gig for a drummer to have. well, any musician actually. it's fun to play, it's amazing music, and it lets the musician shine as such.

[@Sickdrummermagazine]

@chris2029 The Crowd actually booed when Tosin said this is the last song...they wanted more and so did we ;) Never saw that happen before

[@Bradyman55]

These guys are amazing live.

[@MrJanCrazy]

big feeling great emotions !! amazing

[@josshlegg8647]

best ending to cafo ever?

[@sankypants]

10/10

[@Proper1y]

It's just perfect...

[@metalshredmartyr]

JUST. INCREDIBLE.

[@chris2029]

liking the way the crowd respect the huge fill at the end! such a talented band.

[@Freezaen]

Man... I would love to see them live, especially to see Navene play, what a boss.

[@lyconxero457]

Wow...THAT'S how you end this song! Hell yeah!

[@4seampikachu]

i heart this song..

[@Sickdrummermagazine]

@Kmac2021 Bass is pre-recorded and sequenced live

[@KonradKavallieratos]

that ending was just magic!!

[@cookiefromgod]

one does not simply leave the talent triangle

god i love these videos

[@Stickmantibet]

Got goosebumps in the end. Tosin and navene. Damn

[@Imalwaysrightattack]

Talent overload.

[@CaptainBeefy]

that ride sounds perfectttt

[@elliottm1234]

There are plenty of videos on KZbin to go all 13rd girl over Tosin, which I DO MYSELF, however this video was directed and IMO in terms of performance, at navene. What a music musician, and his improvisational skills are fantastic, especially in songs with continuously changing time signatures. Power to him and any projects he's apart of.

[@Sickdrummermagazine]

@fattybergeson He is using a Front line here but is now Endorsed by Tama.

[@artw0rk]

Love the ending!

[@xmenmaniac]

Awesome!

[@HoopyFroodood]

It's drummers like him who make me promise myself to buy a kit of my own.

[@indiadrummer]

AMAZING

[@DrittesAuge1]

GREAT!!

[@YouLikeBosch]

Damn the end is amazing.

[@iftheyholler]

i LOVE Javiers facial expressions, he seems like the most chillest dude!

[@Pieti222]

Amazing Drummer. Very underrated

[@Scatterbra1nJay]

YES!

[@xgeneralzimx]

I saw these guys in Philly when they were on tour with Thrice. I gotta say, their new drummer is really good. But to anyone thinking about seeing AAL live: Do it. Greatest show ever. CAFO was their last song of the set, and when Tosin said "This one is called CAFO", the venue flat out exploded.

[@SancLunatic]

A live performance that's even better than the studio recording!

[@krzyhenk]

Ending is PERFECT!!!!:)

[@KrazyKancerKid]

Those aren't stage lights. Those are the heavens opening up to look down upon the pure awesomeness of Animals As Leaders.

[@a-gnosis]

Man, I really like Navene's take of CAFO.

[@artw0rk]

He is soon releasing a new live drum video!

[@IAMEmmettKerr]

2:53 THE most epic shot. The light reflecting off of Tosin's guitar.

[@bullrage74]

this dude has so much endurance its crazy

[@LunarLionheart]

@EtherealWaves Its a hollowbody custom Ibanez Prestige RG2228 I believe, its on his Facebook page!

[@LuxeXx]

The look at 2:56 says "yeah, this ain't shit to me, bitch"

[@chris2029]

@sickdrummerdotcom I'm hoping they come to the UK sometime soon. Periphery and Tesseract just announced tours - cant wait :)

[@thepride999]

This music is has inspired me to do great things... Finally the return of the Gods.. What I like about it most is how dynamic this shit is. The multi layered textured changes and beautiful transitions are mesmerizing. The harmonic variance, the fearless attack and command of the language is breathtaking awe inspiring, magnificent...

[@Sickdrummermagazine]

@grindcoremaniac Not to mention he plays guitar in Fleshwrought...

[@xMemn0nx]

@sickdrummerdotcom I've looked on Meinl's website and, since he is endorsed, his complete set is shown. Thanks a lot !

[@Bycle]

just insane

[@Metaljonus]

Damn I wish there was a love button......

[@ObeseChess]

@daBeetzify he's fantastic live, it's just hard for live sound systems to pick up most of the nuances. In my opinion, that is.

[@cambrositv]

WOW !!!

[@clavinicle]

nice to see navene playing without the headphones

[@shucklesors]

I love how at 6:32 everyone thought it ended, and then they showed that they have a wireless metronome that works between their minds only

[@LiamTheDrummer911]

i like when tosins guitar starts glowing because of how powerful his shred is

[@liliIiliIilil]

@sickdrummerdotcom Truly amazing considering the great amount of talent to play both roles.

[@KongoInSweden]

This is music, not that comercial crap thats poured out by the industy nowdays. People who hear this know what i mean.

[@londonhardcorekid]

the drums on the first album were programmed anyway and I've also heard that Tosin was the one who wrote the drum patterns but that could just be a rumour.

[@CrawfordDrummer]

When are these guys gonna get there own headlinging tour? How haven't they gone platinum is beyond me ;)

[@Freezaen]

Semi-hollow 8 string guitar? I must be dreaming... IT SHINES! OH MY GOD! I AM NOT WORTHY!

[@supahsekzy]

sooooooooo badass

[@MrChaynes24]

Im really gonna miss this guy playing with them. no homo

[@Ledgeview]

dopest guit loop at 3:00...and the drumming is even more killer after hes been on tour

[@artw0rk]

GOD DAMN what an end!

[@anthonyjohn14]

Holy shit! Is he playing the hi-hat on the "e"s and "a"s with his left foot at 1:53?!?!?!?!? It always sounded like that was what was going on the record, but man, I thought that might be one of the things he skipped over for live performances. That's crazy!!! That makes the drum part like 10 times difficult right there.

[@temporaryonesix]

1:57 - How is it even possible to do that five-part kick with one leg and those faster notes on the hi-hat with the other... Looks insane.

[@SkylerMead]

I will say I like the new drummer,but I dont think anybody compares to Navene. The guy nails everything and does his own improv to flow perfectly with the song. I wish he didnt leave,but he did leave us with some awesome footage no doubt

[@Drums4Life762]

Unbelievable

[@chris2029]

@Kmac2021 Seeing em in Leeds man, 10 min walk from my house. Could it get any better?? Cant fucking wait! :D

[@yeatsg]

It took me forever to get into this song, 1:20 and on, especially the solo, are fucking phenomenal

[@MrSocialdisease]

this song is a fucken journey..

[@Ant-Dj0nt]

Man, Tosin has been making all kinds of gains, check those traps.

[@glassmoon0fo]

All kinds of gains! .....ALL KIIIIINDS.

[@GRiMHOLDx]

glassmoon0fo "Get the f**k out da way...im trying to watch the video!" LMAO XD Hodgetwins lol

[@anekaskuser]

insane...

[@Projekttile]

@sickdrummerdotcom really? i thought they didnt have one, and that the 8 string guitars provided enough low end?

[@goresickkarelpearson]

OH MY GOD¡¡¡

[@xMemn0nx]

Do you have any information about his set of cymbal ? I really the sounds of his crashes... like, really really like them !

[@Voulf]

6:04, the drummer, überLoL, so fond of it!

[@UndisposedPromotions]

He has said he will be back, just taking a break for now it seems

[@User6327]

God, they're good...

[@unkind78]

Ok, there was this video from AaL on yt with the drummer breaking drum pedal but he kept on playing. Anyone has link?

[@UndisposedPromotions]

I'm trying to find it too T_T

[@Cdz9000]

I miss navene playing drums : (

[@jgulizia]

@Kmac2021 they dont have a bassist they run the guitars through a guitar amp and bass amp.

[@asdasdasd240]

That's how a fucking good song should end!!!

[@NICKYFURYY]

HOLY FUCK 6:20 - 6:38. THAT LAST PAUSE AT THE END WAS SO FUCKING BOSS

[@sswillly]

sweet light reflecting off of guitar around 3:10

[@grindcoremaniac]

@sickdrummerdotcom yup. everything except vocals basically.

[@Anemonicus]

that god damn DRUMMER

[@AndyFlintDrumCovers]

you can explain it in polyrhythms and all that business, but thinking about it in the way I explained works just as well
