Not All Who Wander Are Lost - Drums

video of John Boecklin at Ozzfest

[@mannablue1976]

Most under rated metal musician of the last 20yrs, Boecklin is a MONSTER...it just ain't DD without Kendrick, Millar and John. :(

[@MeTriviSlipKlokDriva]

Do you know why they left?

[@kylelindstrom3343]

Agreed bro!!! Waaaaay underrated!!!

[@mattsbo]

@@MeTriviSlipKlokDriva I'm pretty sure its because dez decided to do a hiatus/reunion with coal chamber without any regard for the rest of the band, I understand though, they need income too

[@CommieExiles]

I love his style, one of my fav drummers.

[@nikogrimes5155]

late 2022, still think of Boecklin when his name comes up. LOVE this performance and song.

[@TheM42bmw]

Killer song

[@KwizatsHaderach8]

Thumbs down for Boecklin? They do live among us....

[@BOROMIR420]

13 complete fucktards disliked this. Mouthbreathers,........

[@rustyshackleford4025]

Holy shit. That was awesome!

[@volumedealer2716]

I took 3 people to see 3 different DD shows. All 3 never saw the band before. All 3 mentioned what a sick player John was.

[@BOROMIR420]

Johnny B......god among men.

[@downpour04]

The dude in the red shirt is the drummer for In This Moment, and the other guy is an Ozzfest roadie

[@jmckmedia6377]

@Cromarkar Dude.... Boecklin is the man...... His splash work is intense, not too mention his style is as tight as an asian virgin... He's such a tight drummer.

[@TenThirtyTwo]

Johnathan is awesome for totally.

[@Contagi0n]

this man is a beast.

[@NinurtahRS]

Boecklin and Inferno, definitely my two favourite all-time drummers

[@mindfreek454]

John Boecklin is fuckin amazing!!! DevilDriver fan for life!

[@dwaaag]

haha the dude in the background with the cowboy hat was at the australian shows aswell

[@jleebesaw]

his blast beats are intense man.

[@Wilkesy1000]

dam straight, them 2 are prob the best nowadays

[@9late4]

I love how this guy has some fucking power in his playing, not like most of xtreme death metal drummers these days who hardly even hit the drum, relying on triggers...

[@DerekRoddy8]

@baphomet1989 Using your arms gets addrenalin and power into it, i'm sure using his arms at a live concert is the best way to go! Anyways, awesome! xD

[@KillingKing777]

Best Drummer ever!

[@Sweatyballrash]

Hes got some sweet fills with the toms

[@FilipLatochaMusic]

I'm not a drummer myself, but John is an inspiration to start

[@grosserihandlarn]

omg, this dude rocks!

[@devildriver669]

BEAST!!

[@Billarn]

boecklin

[@Leviplaysdrums]

TOOO true

[@brisick]

@IIIzakyIII he got two hi hats, i think he hits the right hi hat in the beginning

[@DantewarheitAO]

wow great vid

[@Chudius]

Holy crap...

[@OdysseyDawnMusic]

those toms sound killer.

[@adlersidol]

yeah i guess you are right, if it does work, which he seems to be able to play just fine with it, then i guess there really is no problem with it, i am here by taking back my previous comment

[@MTinterestingchannel]

fucking awesome - he's truly an inspiration

[@absyntheaddikt]

sup tos! canis here. want the forum back online!!!!!!!!!

[@sliptwig1]

Awesome

[@yoursofatdude]

woo hooo

[@Ub3rSk1llz]

@TheDerpTard Way ahead of you broseph, been listening to Sybreed for ages. Although I didn't know Dirk drummed on Antares. Might have to go an listen to the album a bit. Thanks.

[@lstarbuck20]

badass drumming, probably the most unappreciated talented drummer in metal!!

[@kikkojoey]

Fyrex you are right... It's true, he's not of course the best drummer out there, but I Like him so much ahah!!

[@SlayerDude831]

iv'e got a fever, and the only prescription is more blast beats.

[@123childcare]

nice ride.. n e one knw what kinda ride he plays?......

[@Silmar]

Fucking animal! I love this sickness way to drum!

[@jm0069]

i only started listening to this band a month or two ago and this drummer is a beast its just pure power I'm not sure yet if I'd say he's better than Dave Mclain from Machine Head though

[@abacacus]

@baphomet1989 It's because he's mostly self taught. A lot of people will cry watching him play and scream "BAD TECHNIQUE", but if bad technique lets him drum this good who gives a fuck. *disclaimer* I am currently drunk. No flameing me :)

[@tosuxo]

no probs, great song, how do the legs feel after this song? :P

[@Obituary1306]

He's such a good drummer! If you watch his right hand at 2:23 he hits the bottom of his ride dymbla and it screws him for like 0.2 sec.

[@metroid541]

@ImaPirate83 yeah, i have it. listening to jason bittner of shadows falls he calls it the exhat

[@lorddresefer]

john is great, another insane fucking drummer is tim yeung of divine heresy

[@macadangdang07]

fuck he's awesome

[@DGAFORLIFE]

yes what he said

[@Ub3rSk1llz]

@lstarbuck20 my two favourite drummers are john and the drummer for Swedish band soilwork. his name is dirk verbueren. they're both amazing.

[@cobhcanada]

7 years ago would you have ever believed he would end up in megadeth haha

[@azzans]

Same here haha I love the drums more than the guitar in this band lol and I play guitar too

[@wildanS]

@tod10g Hit'em hard!

[@NecroptikOfficial]

he blast with the wirst or his arm?

[@O8SOL3TE]

Il répondra pas, c'eqst pas lui qui a posté la vidéo. tu dois pouvoir trouver son matos sur le net!

[@jmckmedia6377]

@IIIzakyIII ummmm, yea he did.... he has 2 sets man... one where it should be on his left, then one his right by the ride... I'm glad people are so observant before they go addin stupid fuckin comments :D

[@Thai-islands]

alll of these drummers are just tapping away!! check out foo fighters, or acdc or any rock band, its not how many little stupid rolls you can fit in, its about the heavy vibe... gooodddddd

[@sharmuta666]

ddrum are the best. no wonder john uses them.

[@eatcatr5]

awesome fucking drummer!!!!

[@AudunYT]

Btw, I love DevilDriver^^ And John Boecklin is incredibly skilled. DOn't get my previous post wrong.

[@scwill2007]

look. all they do is pound the drums! full respect 4 ac/dc and foo but rlly its got more heavy vibe then either will have EVER! Devildriver ftw.

[@jie1975]

nice drum sticks..

[@Nitrosetheprodigy]

this guy is like a heavy and taller joey jordison

[@riacyber]

what about Jason Bittner?

[@mattsbs]

I dont bout u's but he may seem arkward cause he's actually hitting the drums with some force instead of the usual soft tap by other hardcore drummers.

[@rampage335]

devildriver fuckin rules

[@tnptm0pt0p]

I think he means what kind.

[@geutonix]

@IIIzakyIII yes he did :) 3:10

[@fooshfoosh]

MEINL!!

[@drummerboy5193]

it often sounds like he speeds up when he does the in sync 16 notes with hands

[@MELQUIADESS3]

derrepente y si

[@Jimii89]

All this guy does is single strokes everywhere, pretty awesome though

[@21335186z]

nice, i wish the sound was better on this vid.

[@cygnusx555]

@dedmit THE SNOZZ BERRIES TASTE LIKE SNOZZ BERRIES

[@Livingcorpse8]

Hit Hat looks pretty high Oo

[@bmac4]

@dedmit Most 1 year drummers don't have a double bass pedal nor the skill to use one, let alone can they do the alternating pattern (1-2 1 1-2 1) at that speed. The sound quality here isn't that great anyway.

[@therealdrcrazy]

whut the hell is technic?

[@47Mortuus]

@dedmit and even if it would be simple, it still fits in with the songs groove. if you want technique, listen to death metal and don't critisize dedvildriver, its the best band ever ;-)

[@kbekin]

que intrepido baterista :P

[@tosuxo]

hahaha hey dude, don't we all?

[@JordanMottram]

chris adler's are the best

[@danieljordison0793]

@123childcare 22" Soundcaster Custom Megabell Ride

[@waltermatthewberg]

looks like a fucking workout

[@Skizye8]

lol blasting with his wrists

[@baphomet1989]

Blasts with his arm !! Flying fingers is better IMO but both ways get the fucking job done !!! Devildriver own.

[@hanalooloo]

haha singing at 0:47

[@giuseppeusai6891]

Pazzesco

[@67keefer]

joey has 2 other guys that helps him so he can do differnet beats

[@tosuxo]

prove it.

[@DatAtlasYYZ]

EDIT: Look at his legs at 1:07 or so. Case closed.

[@TheGlassStern]

@IIIzakyIII 3:11 - 3:17 ^^

[@TheForlornDreams]

@dedmit i wanted to reply because everyone else was doing it.

[@misdrummer]

ddrum

[@Metalhead6949]

First of all, sweet fucking footage, and next, what kind of drum set is that? if anyone knows.

[@Schwalls3]

@Cromarkar why are you comparing him to chris adler? lamb of god is okay but devildriver is wayy betterr

[@egoleech]

not trying to bitch about you. But it is more importent that the whole feeling to the song is right. You can have the most crazy drum lines on the planet...but if nothing fits on it , it 'll still suck ;) you know what i mean?

[@FINALSTRIKE94]

Adler is good, Boecklin is better. This is my opinion based on chops alone. They both write drum parts perfectly to the riffs and vocals. I think Boecklin's drums carry devil driver songs. They sound like a band who writes around the drums. Both awesome drummers though.

[@Simon53188]

what you've just said means fuck all, having signature sticks, cymbals drums etc means fuck all when it comes to skill. Chris Adler is good, you can't take that away from him, but its the fact that he claims to try and be different yet the way he plays it looks as though he's overplaying and really trying to set himself apart. sorry if you disagree

[@natt4212]

thts ace but not as fast as some drummers. i dont suppose it is the fastest of DD songs though

[@squirril66]

well when most of them wear gyms shorts and no shirt you cant really match. im surprised he can drum in long sleeves

[@tosuxo]

show me you doing better then i'll accept that as a worthy comment
