The whole crowd fist pumping to the song was awesome

[@ReactIVT]

The Shibuya Crossing is always a sight to see. Overall quality of the video was really good. I would love to know what body cam you're using. I just can't seem to find any...

[@GSA_Drums]

Seeing the behind the scenes.. watch out that you don’t burn out. Really awesome stuff… you‘ve come a long way since your first videos 👏🔥👌😎😄🥁

This was an awesome video!! And lots of respect for the insane hard work and lack of sleep. I have to say you can really notice you are growing bigger!! How do you find the time and commitment to both doing the shows and training so hard! Mad respect!! See you guys in may in the Netherlands!

[@abhinavraghunandan5343]

I absolutely love this kinda content :))) Please put up more

[@paulamoura6945]

lets go

[@gianski3306]

The opener is Yoasobi?!?! They are probably one of the biggest groups to come from Japan as of recent time! That should explain their production because they’re very well known world wide especially online where communities of Japanese music lovers and tiktokers(unfortunately if you learn the context) just spread their music.

[@ronrocker7131]

Why 'unfortunately'? Is it some kind of a sketchy, toxic community on TikTok?

[@metrotyler]

@@ronrocker7131 no, it's just the classic "tiktok makes everything bad" dilemma

[@TardSoftQB]

@@ronrocker7131na, tik tok is just known to ruin music

[@SunrayZxd]

haha I paused at 4:50 because i thought the EXACT same thing like: wait, that singer sounds awfully familiar! 🤣

[@frostedspark]

I think it's because TikTokers spread the music around through dances without understanding the contexts of the songs (they're often associated with dark and depressing topics like suicide) and all the while people are dancing like it's describing rainbows and sunshine. Just a lack of consideration and knowledge really.@@ronrocker7131 Hope that helps

[@dylanb3099]

Yoasobi as an opener is insane, I love it

[@standbyDtH]

I really love crowd in japan being so into the songs. Like that interaction on 12:48 ? everyone joined. I LOVE that!

[@kmkzefrvr]

this is by far the most fresh content for drummers on the internet... thank you for the simple editing too ^^

[@nickhirst7192]

Not just for drummers, but anybody that is or has been in a band!

[@krishs1302]

loved the matt horn kinda vibe . put more videos like this

[@Faygi68]

i was gonna say its nice to have both perspectives. Now you can watch matts videos on being a drum tech and this video on the drummers pov. even if it's not the same band.

[@ogKalmari]

This was so peaceful to watch but also very interesting. After long day these kind of videos are the best when you get chill backround music and the backround noises.

[@cltubby]

Awesome content! Seeing Shibuya again brings back many memories. Stationed at Yokota AB outside Tokyo for 3 years. My family didn't want to leave. Kids absolutely loved it there. Hope you enjoyed your time there.

[@xylicg6072]

why did you leave

[@stickdrumsnrocknroll]

I love these POV's vlogs ! Matt Horn (Luke Holland's drum tech) is doing the same kind of videos while touring and it's awesome. So please keep posting some for us ! Thanks Gabe :)

[@JaydenBaumann-t3g]

Dude holy fuck i cant believe your playing these big of shows now i literally watched your shit when i was 11 to about 14 and i taught myself how to play im in a death metal band now and im 18 and its just crazy seeing how far youve come and the quality of your videos and playing your such a beast

[@flappy3635]

whats the name of your band?

[@JaydenBaumann-t3g]

@@flappy3635 LitWax 🤘 lmk what u think

[@mikestix88]

Thanks for this! Loved all of it and the opener song was insane! And as a drummer myself I can appreciate how on point you were all around and all the kicks! Super solid! I really appreciated seeing the whole routine! This was really cool to watch because I've wanted to play music big time like that since I was young but I never got that however sometimes I think maybe it was for a good reason. Now married for 9 years and 2 little girls and a drum kit at home and working a steady roofing job for the last 4 years in northern Indiana right by Michigan, I get up early 4:10 am everyday and work outside year round and you know Michigan winters. So it was really cool to see your life style!

[@withadraco]

your handshakes are so fucking awesome! lmao im so glad i found your channel. your songs hyped me up for my 5 mile HIIT sprint/distance run workout today! cheers bro good luck with everything love your music! hope to see you live at some point!!!

[@Beany58]

Awesome video, really fun and interesting to see what it's like behind the scenes. Would also love to see a video or something about your workout routine, I know it's not really drum related but would be really cool to find out, it's interesting how you can maintain such a great physique whilst touring and playing drums intensely so often 🥁

[@affaefd4093]

great video!, it's very relaxing with the text rather than voice over, slow-phased, interesting cuts, with great audio, overall I really enjoyed it

[@twipps7700]

That live sound is so insanely awesome

[@AfterTheHorizonBand]

I loved this video! Drummer Dre commenting here from After the Horizon. My favorite part was the stick warm-ups and your bands before the show handshake ritual. Our band has something small but it would be cool to make it bigger. Keep rocking! Would love to open for you in Toronto, Canada!

[@MrGhostNote]

Love your vlogs man this was so sick the energy between you and your'e band mates is hilarious. More vlogs would be great.

[@SoundAloneband]

Cheers to you and the band dude. You guys hung in there and good things came. Also the newest records the mix is insanely good. Some of the best drum tones I've heard in a long time. All the best to you ! Be safe on the road. Btw isn't Japan absolutely insane. ?

[@Padlock_Steve]

its alright

[@billybanana2006]

5:51 saw maximum the hormone on there and got the biggest grin on my face

[@CrackDad]

Dude, walking through Japan is true peace I feel you there! Brought back a lot of childhood memories so thank you!

[@gromheat]

watching your videos have actually inspired me to keep up with my drumming. at 43 sometimes its hard to find the time to practice everyday. somedays i don't have the energy but i watch these tour videos and videos of chad smith playing random stuff and it amps me up to keep it going. I don't wanna be a rockstar, i just want to make music.

[@lokrogamer29]

Its cool to see how its looks behind the stage. And from your perspective, i can see how big the stages are.

[@Ethanlewis903]

1:43 "Eric (Screams)" got me dying

[@billk9799]

As a fan, I like watching the band onstage having fun and killing it and as a musician when on stage I'm trying my best for the audience and the rest of the band to have fun! Watching you guys RIPPING IT in front of such crowd (20000???), only makes me happier and try to make as better shows as possible in the future! Love your channel man, keep 'em coming!

[@ShotBySeth]

those "All Hail"' from the crowd was such a vibe, it actually gave me chills

[@trblmkr5139]

Love Gabe man.He has been bringing us with him since he first started playing with IPrevail a couple years back and I feel like Im part of the band every time.

[@Epiphun]

That is so motivating. Feels like a life I would love to live. Great job. Please bring more of that.

[@theDurman]

This video made me happy. Love seeing the ins and outs of the hustle and work that goes into a tour. Great work!

[@demogice]

even I got nervous before the show started

[@otrsurvival6908]

Holy shit, that was sick! I've been in some large crowds for meet and greets, but 20000, BRO! Most of us will never see this POV. what a treat to see it through you. Thanks!

[@givenspade]

did you ever release your workout routine? as a skinny person, I'm also trying to bulk up so I love to see what other people do!

[@jasonlee3759]

As a fellow drummer and music lover, in general, what a unique adventure this was very cool and what a great spot to land on for those shows in Japan. Geez, talk about exposure. happy holidays everyone 👏👏🤘💕

[@Luancwav]

I was expecting a 24h long video

[@JustK4Y1512]

Rest in peace to Gabe’s privacy then 😅😅😅

[@BenceFetes]

Same, instead we got an almost 24 MINUTE video

[@Good_Behavior14YT]

Dude he needs privacy

[@ytpremium1165]

Absolutely! I'm lucky to watching your performed when you come to Jakarta, Indonesia! And now, I always hear your music before I started to work! Thankyou!!!

[@brunoanjos5686]

What’s the name of the band? I Love there song

[@YinLieh]

@@brunoanjos5686i prevail that’s the name of the band

[@DavidSmith-ev1bd]

I was in the scene for 4 years. These videos really bring back memories of all the stage shenanigans. Keep it up man.

[@Full_throttle_gas]

Dude! You povs are so inspiring!! Just watching you videos has got me listening to I Prevail. I am a drummer played for some good bands. Had a lot of fun. I’m a bit older than you but this is so motivating! Thank you sir!

[@V1p3r0ps]

I have never listened to metal before and it came up in my feed for drumming. I actually like this. I am 47 years old and i was rocking to this song. It's badass. All parts of it. The melodies and drumming was insane. Good job!

[@Boomer112]

I don't know why, but... these kinds of videos has a special place in my heart! 🙏❤ I just love watching behind the scenes stuff, and POV's etc of drummers, artists, etc!

[@thatonekid1732]

I have never drummed, had interest in drumming, or will be a drummer, but living a performance day through your POV is amazing. I love how silly and snarky you are in the subtitles, it sounds like my own inner thoughts. You're awesome :] Keep it up

[@AlexHDrums]

Super cool content here man! Kudos for continuing to grind DBO while on tour. Thumbs up on the workout regiment - drumming keeps my arms thinner and my core droopy lmao

[@klomber]

fucking crazy that you are going all over the world playing drums with I Prevail, so fucking cool!

[@SylvieCanuck]

3:04 I'm sitting here confused thinking I had a City Planner Plays video in the background with that background song. Love your videos and have been enjoying the POV videos!

[@HWTDS]

Dude. I've honestly never heard of your band before seeing these top notch pov videos. But I'll say this you have a new fan. You guys rock. Been a drummer myself for al.ost 30.years. watching these videos just makes me want to take my drumming and my band up.10 notches. Thank you for the great content

[@fink94]

Great video! Loved it! That POV camera with only some text is the best

[@MouZ245]

KZbin decided to show me this and I am so happy for it. The show was HUGE! I could feel the emotions even though sitting in my small flat in front of the monitor. Huge! I would love to see more of this!

[@TallmanMike]

I keep re-watching the pre-show ritual and it cracks me up. I'm glad you guys have kept the tradition so long! Great video.

[@MetalDrummer_666]

Wow man, this is awesome. Thank you for filming and sharing. Your drumming is insane! This is the sort of world we amateur metal drummers can only dream of🤘so pleased for you boys.

[@The_KlaVra]

This feels like the other side of Matt Horns video, where Matt Horns shows you the back stage, the setup of drums, the load in and load out and all the background stuff, this feels like the other side, the side the drummer sees, they show up to play the show, everything is done, they just have to come and do their side of the job. Its so crazy seeing both sides of the coin.

[@DerrikGuzzoDrums]

This content is amazing, I wish we saw more drum cams 😢😢😢 Your killing it my man

[@TyDarapiza]

That Hot Rod chant is legit! Had me rolling!

[@rifqirofian1790]

dude, your light guy is so awesome. he's so enjoy with what he worked on

[@RaxGab]

So awesome to see how you and the guys have so much! Your one of the best drummers on the planet cant wait to see you guys again in amsterdam!

[@Macaroni1983]

living my dream life. hopefully someday i can go on tour with my band or as an artist myself

[@mondragon9282]

Yep, recording a cover of Body Bag now. Perfect video to learn from. Thanks, Gabe!!! Oh yea, it was cool to see how your days go on tour, also!!

[@fr0ost103]

Man, i love this type of content, i love seeing you and I Prevail doing some things that we don't see very often, i want you all to be in Chile someday!!!

[@metalcore_slaps]

i seen you at the place bell in toronto for an i prevail concert this year and seeing you play those songs inspired me as a drummer to play more love you guys

[@MarTinDDfx]

This was so great to watch - thanks Gabe! More please

[@edwardwiley9597]

i love the grandmas boy (JP) reference ha-ha, great KZbin work along side everything you already do for your band, it it just amazing man.

[@cristianstefanom.s.4660]

Amazing content Gabe, I truly admire your work, keep going, huge fan of your channel, the band and the lifestyle

[@KroviVT]

I hope you had a blast at Rockaholic. I lived in Japan for 4 years and I went there almost every night.

[@C5drummer]

YES, PLEASE!! More! We want....M-O-R-E!! Thank you for this, your academy, your lessons, etc. From all your fans here, Thank you!!

[@bt719]

Thanks for the peek behind-the-scenes! And you got a new listener.

[@MaybeHarvey]

I could would watch an extended cut of this, this is one of my favourite videos on KZbin in recent memory

[@mariemcfarland7915]

Subscribed! If you're watching your stats you'll know I'm a 55-year-old woman. I follow and otherwise click on a lot of drum content because I started drum lessons 9 months ago and want to learn about ALL of it. This was served to me last night. You'll also see that I keep coming back to Body Bag. I'm going to play that some day!

[@umbral9911]

Bro the opener being Yoasobi and you also have I Prevail and Bring Me, that sounds like it was an awesome tour. Yoasobi is one of my all time favorite bands, glad they got some spotlight in this video! Awesome video!

[@armandoaltabertgil5673]

I want to stay and live on these videos, they are so inspiring!!! More of these please!!!

[@masu7015]

Absolutely I wanna see more videos like this! Experienced this kind of things is like a dream. Probably the best vlog I've ever seen

[@mcopilot]

[@michaelrhinehart5305]

this contents is awesome especially for someone who dreams of going tour

I find it so wholesome that you go from drumming your heart out and then 5 seconds after it ends we're back to calm lofi music!!

[@treedog24]

YES TO YOU ADDING THE WORKOUT VIDEO ON HERE OR DBO! That was killer to watch. 🤘🤘

16:26 the way he looked over like it actually barked at him

[@MicahArissMusic]

loved this man!!

[@Greg-om2hb]

Thanks for this behind the scenes look at the life of a rock star. I’ve been to many trade shows at Makuhari Messe, but never to any concerts. It’s just too big. Not sure why you didn’t just stay in Makuhari; it’s so much closer to Narita and would have saved hours of driving back and forth. I hope it’s because your schedule included lots of time for playing in Tokyo.

[@lukaskouba]

maaaan, love this video... thank you!🖤

[@prashivec.]

Agree

[@ThOoMii013]

Can't wait to see you guys next year in the Netherlands!!!

[@HxR-eSports]

This was brilliant. Thank you so much for doing it. Tokyo is such a beautiful city. I hope to visit there one day. 🙏

[@Thorinbur]

I prevail and Baby Metal on the same stage, that would be the deam concert to see. I noticed that the girls from the family of label contant are also fellow Baby metal fans by the hand gesture. ^^ 15:13

bro really is inspecting his drumsticks with 130° fov 6:23 nice animation

[@beyond_the_tequila_rift3194]

I love the ritual right before y'all hit the stage, very cult like in a happy go lucky manner 🤣 but even just seeing your warm up routine was amazing!!

[@davidcolquitt]

Bro, that shower after a show feels magical. Often double soaped because I was so sweaty 😂 loving the BTS stuff

[@PandaMacaroni]

Those POV videos are freaking awesome!

[@crogotem3341]

honestly, this video really made me love drummers, its probably so chill just being in the corner doing your own thing you know, not really the main attraction on stage, but playing a critical role in music, because without drums, music is just dull and boring

[@BluesGetOrigin]

1:19 Such a good view of the famous Shibuya Crossing.

[@bleednate]

2:25...a good ol'e american "biscuits and gravy (w/sausage)" is in my top 5 best breakfasts.

Hey man first of all love your videos thanks for the great inside views! I have one question tho what does it mean when you say "how does a opener have that much production?" at 5:20 Love your band too! Hope too see you in Germany 2024
