[@dustycooper]

11:35 Could you please tell Steve to watch his hearing and never do that again… hearing loss, damage, tinnitus and hyperacusis are still such a taboo amongst musicians. As a result many face very difficult problems later in life (or not so late in life… 😞).

[@kbmedicgaming5222]

I’ve been following you on here since before you joined I Prevail. I remember when you announced it I was so excited because I Prevail was recently added to my daily playlist. All of this to say I really enjoy your content and these Tour Vlogs are amazing. Keep rocking!!!

[@dreadiedude]

Great to see the behind-the-scenes for this! I was at the Sydney Good Things show - my first time seeing I Prevail. You guys were so good! One of the highlights of my day for sure.

[@ridazszn]

Gabe, you have no idea how we appreciate these kind of videos! It's so good to see the whole band and the behind-the-scenes stuff. Brian, Eric, Dylan, Steve and you! There is so much inspiration for me in this video.

[@Godric_71]

You are such a genuinely kind young man. I've been a metal head since 1971. I've heard of you guys but hadn't given you guys much thought. Sorry. Your attitude and personality kept me here and now, I'm about to get very familiar with your music. Thank You.

[@harrison738]

9:45 a body bag POV would be sick, especially in a live setting

[@TGun7]

That was intense! Great work on the video. Thanks for letting us see the concert POV. I could watch a whole concert like that. It's very cool.

[@henrydollar792]

I was front row at this show in Brisbane! Absolutely killed it at both the sideshow and the festival, and Eric drinking from the leg was the cherry on top to a perfect day! I saw you wearing the Gopro and my dreams came true when I knew I was gonna be in a Drum Beats Online vlog. Love from Aus!!!

[@tobes_fitzy]

As an aussie AND a drummer, im so sad i missed out on this. You are an absolute LEGEND mate! Keep it up!!

[@KajcheOfficial]

Good Things Brisbane was my second time seeing you guys live and it was once again one of the best moments I think I've ever had. It's always a real treat to see you guys live and it's so good to see the behind the scenes and POV shots of the show!

[@Rad_Akali]

I absolutely love the POV, especially with the antics before the show and not just the show itself. Keep 'em going! 🤘

[@bachirafan97]

While I’m not the biggest fan of this genre of music, or a drummer, it’s so cool to see what it’s like on the other side of concerts! Keep on making music, it’s what makes the world go round!

[@Zack-jm5px]

Don't ever give up! Keep those church roots solid! We love you

My man, you are so chill and humble. I’m a new fan and it’s nice to meet you. Been trying to learn drums and this was an epic video!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@deeznatas]

Did we watch the same video? Humble is not what went down here.

[@Understoodapollo]

Man, I'm the singer and rythm guitar for a really small band, but we just dropped our first EP and we're starting to play around in our zone and everytime I get on a stage I feel that tummy ache and strange feeling that I LOVE! I loved this POV video with all the Venue and stuff because I try to imagine being in that situation, playing in fron of 40,000 people, that I feel the same tummy ache even from home!!! LOVED IT!

[@5ShotProductions]

Gabe, I could watch these kind of videos FOREVER 🙏 What a great show to end a tour, and a shoey out of a prosthetic leg is really a story for your grandchildren! 👍 Thx for these videos, I really appreciate it and best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋

[@Mr.TeETH78]

Wow! That opening drum part RIPS! You kill it! So good!

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

19:50 talking about making mistakes on stage. I played in a few small bands as a bassist and keyboard player. The first time I ever played a show it was to like 15 people and my first mistake, by trying to go into a bridge or chorus too soon I dont remember its been 20 years, I just naturally was able to laugh it off, wait a beat and then come back in. I kept that same routine for a while then I tried to not even acknowledge when I messed up by keeping a straight face and that is much harder it felt weird. But I would always watch the crowd and no matter how big or small when you mess up like half the audience knows you messed up and looks at you with that confused smirk and trying to act like it didn't happen made them just stare so I went back to laughing it off every time. But I will never forget my 8th show. We were opening for A Day to Remember (before they took off) in this tiny venue in tulsa called the pink eye and the lead singer was standing front and center. As soon as I messed up he locked eyes with me and looked pissed but was still nodding his head to the music with his arms crossed. It was the most awkward I have ever felt on stage like a deer in headlights lol. Sorry for the essay lol.

[@Joe-gl8sr]

If you watch the Rush Show of Hands, you’ll even see Neil Peart screw up Spirit of Radio… and Alex Lifeson is laughing at him real time… even the virtuosos flub every once in a while. Amazing recovery… if you didnt know the song you would have never noticed it.

As a young drummer growing up in the sixties and seventies the double bass pedal was in it's infancy so I had little to no experience with them. I was more of a John Bonham style drummer using finesse tecniques with the bass and during my fills. I really got into the concept of DB watching Mike Portnoy and now by watching your videos. You are an amazing talent Gabe! Congrats on your well earned succes.

[@marinenukem]

As someone who only ever dabbled in drums for like half a year until I broke my wrist skateboarding, and then just never picked it back up, this video is super inspirational. I might look into starting lessons again. Also never heard of I Prevail, but I'm definitely going to add some songs to my playlist. Great video man!

[@SoleymoonPercussion]

Gabe that made my day!!!! I love those POV's!!! You're such a Diva with those bandaids 😂 jk, this was amazing and you deserve all of it! You're an incredible drummer, teacher and human being and I can't think of a better place to learn drum than the DBO Family!!!! Thank you Brother! 🙌 Stay True 🔥🥁🔥

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Appreciate you so much soleymoon!!

[@jeffbroome5192]

Hey Man! I'm Jeff from hailing from Portland Oregon. Thank you for the perspective clips man! I'm also a musician (guitars) but lately, for like the last year I've really been interested in drums. Keying in on drums instead of guitar on all the music I listen to TOTALLY changes my perspective on all my favorite jams. Anyway, this was a cool perspective from the stage point of view and it brought back the same butterflies I get every time I play live. 😝 Keep on rocking and I'll keep following bro

Randomly found your channel & absolutely loved the video! The behind-the-scenes look of the festival, what it's like before you went on stage, & the view of you playing in front of that crowd was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the commentary and fun stuff in between. Great video, which makes me want to check out your other videos & also your music! Take care & God bless!

[@garrettbrown6770]

I began binge watching your vids, Matt Horn’s drum tech POV’s, Tank The Tech…. Things all to keep me inspired because last year I move to Spain and had to start from square 1 with music, networking, etc. Now, miraculously, I am in the ONE band I really enjoyed in my new city and we have some small festivals lined up this year, but now this video keeps replaying in my head to know how far we can go as long as we work our asses off. I love seeing this content, man. Please keep it up and hopefully I could meet you in person some day, somewhere!

[@Elixity_YT]

Bro I was at the Melbourne Good Things Festival and saw I Prevail then. I have been a fan for a while, but it was the first time I had seen I Prevail live. Loved the show, and loved the mosh pits! Can’t wait to see I Prevail again at the Melbourne Parkway Drive Concert!

[@robertsilva4]

I picked up my first set of sticks at the age of 5 yrs. old and got behind the set and started banging away! it's been in my blood ever since and will continue to be till the day I die. I would rock myself to sleep as a young boy listening to hard rock hits in the early 80's while fantasizing about this exact moment. Thanx guys for the sound and visual!! What an awesome experience it must be. Got it cranked up.

[@BigNCountry]

That just looks awesome! I'm not a spotlight fan but seeing the POV of some one who's in it is something different and kinda cool! Another way I see it is the fans get to see what you guys do before and after the gig which lifts the veil off of a pro musicians life on the road. It's just cool to see and different!

[@guyincognito1560]

So Gabe, in a past life I was a drummer. Played some East Bay warehouse shows then was accepted to USAF OCS and got to chase my dream of flying. Gave the wife and fam a tour of non-exciting Air Force bases for a while until I realized the US MIC may not be a force for good in the world. Seems like so many lifetimes ago, now just a retired middle aged beat up pilot back in the rat race trying to get his girls a proper launch on their paths. Was intrigued by this and watched all the way through and quickly became a fan, bought my first iPrevail CD today. Thank you for sharing your private time with us. What a talented "young man" you are, you seem like a pretty nice guy and it's always a pleasure to see nice guys live out their dreams. Keep up the good work, break a leg and all that and watch those blisters! All the best, God Bless.

[@henkemusic3674]

[@timanderson9466]

I can relate to so much of this. I never toured because it takes a special type of person to enjoy doing it and I’m not that person. You’re a good looking young guy with a lot of talent and with a talented band of good guys, ride the wave brother and enjoy every second of it.

[@eddiegdrums1646]

I didn't believe bands loved playing in Brisbane so much, being someone from Brisbane, and I guess we actually are a pretty sick crowd. Cheers for sharing, we'll keep giving love to the bands.

[@coopers1716]

For finger injuries, cover the affected area in whatever porous clean medium you can get and wrap it kinda tightly in electrical tape. It won't move, the structure and adhesive level hold together whatever wound you're trying to seal up and it's low friction enough that it won't keep you from being useful. I used to gash my hands up at work and I'd just clean and seal them with a little cotton and electrical and could operate the rest of the day without noticing.

[@aknightslifeChannel]
