SABIAN Artist Chris Turner of Oceans Ate Alaska Performs HIKARI

[@Rxiong51]

My local metalcore band opened for OAA and LMTF last November. My drummer and I basically fangirled when we got to meet Chris. He was in the back rehearsing for this video. Super down to earth dude. It was an honor getting to share the stage with him. And yes, he called me “mate” 😍

[@WADEDESTROYS]

Rxiong51 I just nutted

[@ImDatOoz]

Same, would 100% fangirl him

[@Petrva1]

@@ImDatOoz I did too. There's not basically a way you couldn't. They're all so sweet in person.

[@The_Rob_D]

That’s how I felt when I met Rob Flynn way back when The Burning Red first came out.

[@BelvedereX2]

I'll screw him if I met 😏

[@Bhizzz]

I need a full version of that jazzy intro... seriously its really calming...

[@winningdesigns6067]

That's the whole song, but the whole album is amazing! They have an instrumental version on Spotify - called Hikari. This is called 'djent' - it's like a jazz element in metal.

[@solarz8505]

Wii billiards tbh

[@ysdg968]

I feel like Chris holds his breath during the whole playthrough XD

[@sigitpurwa5627]

Sabian will never waste their time for having this guy counted within their roster

[@boriente]

Should have left that typo. Was funnier.

[@skeeeeeezyyy]

Truly a great WRITER as well as a drum PLAYER. His words at the beginning are no joke. In the way he plays, you can tell he wrote these parts and practiced them - and knows them note for note.

[@orangedrone]

Which you can do without writing it first. Writing isn’t the secret ingredient to good drumming. He only thinks it is cause, he learned that first. So he associates that with his insane talent. Reality is he’d still be an amazing drummer had he never learned how to write drum music.

[@SDREHXC]

orangedrone I’m pretty sure being able to write extraordinarily complex drum parts as well as play them makes him a more exceptional drummer than just being able to play them. I don’t even know how you could argue the opposite, that’s actually asinine. Like, a chef who copies other recipes very well is still a good chef, but a chef who makes exceptional recipes on their own is more impressive. How is a musician any different?

[@joshrobledo94]

⁠@@orangedroneWhat’s with all the resistance? It always comes off as extremely resentful and bitter. Kind of reminds me a Charles Bukowski outlook on music honestly. I’m glad technical players have the spotlight. I hope it keeps going that way.

[@orangedrone]

@@SDREHXC That’s not what I meant. You can still “write” (create original music) without first writing out the music. It’s cool to write out the music after the fact as a way to document it, or so others can learn it. All I was trying to say was writing it out first is not a secret ingredient or cheat code to writing amazing drum parts. That’s all.

[@coyotelong4349]

Good drummer. I can show you more. Yes Neil Peart may seem "Boomer" for you social media addicts. But watch him play the drums. All drummers should know Neil Peart! RIP My drum god

[@MrJoshDrums0490]

I love watching Chris’ videos, such an inspirational and creative drummer 🔥🔥

[@phoenixwright9105]

He's such an amazing drummer. Throughout the video i kept thinking: Damn, i need those socks

Always loved that jazzy intro

[@medusa1312412412]

best robot pretending he is human!

[@rizalnurrokhim8159]

since the first time i heard Ocean Ate Alaska record called “Clocks” back in 2011 i knew immediately they’ve got really good drummer. and now 2019, what i predicted is become real and clear. he is really fucking great drummer. keep it up Chris!!

[@drunkgamer273]

You predicted him becoming a great drummer? Looking for likes are we? Goodluck

Damn this guy is a beast. He makes it look so easy. No sweat hhahah. Talented indeed. Bravo 🙌

It was worth the wait, I had always wanted to cover this cover and at the end the original drummer climbed it to delight our ears.🤘😎♥️

[@gabratte9858]

If you guys like his drumming, make sure to check out his "drum covers" of his own songs with Oceans ate Alaska on youtube! Hansha, Covert and the Escapist are great places to strart. He's incredibly skilled

[@zachelliott7447]

Gab Ratté no fucking shit Sherlock. That’s why we are all here. Because we are fans of him and the band. Take a fucking IQ test, you might have a touch of downs and a sprinkle of eating paint as a child.

Zach Elliott it’s true, but you don’t have to say it like that lol

[@gabratte9858]

@@zachelliott7447 Wow, who fucking hurt you you fucking troglodyte? Some people are subscribed to sabian without necessarily being fans or knowing of Oceans Ate Alaska. This is a FEATURE video. Sabian giving exposure to one of their sponsored artists. So fair to assume quite a few people here have never seen Chris before. Seriously, just how old are you? Why post such a stupid, hateful and nonsensical comment? It's beyond me.

[@jonathanharned1706]

Loved the editing/stylizing of this video, the cuts were fine until he actually started playing. Too fast to be cut at that same pace the whole time, but too slow to give that "chaotic" effect. I would leave the cuts nice and slow while he's playing and maybe throw in some quick jump cuts when the playing gets more chaotic, but use it tastefully! Great video guys!!

[@drakausdromgatti58]

Does he sit so high because thats how the drums felt when he was a little boy? Its a sense of familiarity?

[@user-nk3re4dj5h]

No it's for more leverage, especially when doing double bass. He mentions this in his video with Zack Grooves - but I remember even when I used to play I did the same thing for the exact same reason.
