[@22MCChris]

[@anthonydangelo9567]

That was awesome man. To cover one of the best punk drummers songs and absolutely kill it. Bravo 👏

[@mattb9351]

Who could dislike this?

[@PunksNotDead83]

how could someone dislike this....amazing

[@Gg199865]

2:26 that cymbal is haunted

[@jasonperkins4623]

Gg199865 I think he hits.both and the camera angle just.changes

[@Boognish_]

@@jasonperkins4623 he clearly doesn't

[@MrAD-mb9nh]

Maybe he did couple of takes...

[@carltonlong1985]

Man, you rip. Even Jordan Burns has mentioned you in an interview.

[@davidpardy]

Thanks for mentioning that, I looked up the interview and found it here: www.commdiginews.com/entertainment/interview-jordan-burns-drummer-for-strung-out-15955/ He also mentioned Gordy Forman from Frenzal, who along with Jordan was one of my favourite punk drummers way back!

[@Boognish_]

Who are three of your favorite drummers in punk right now? JB: I think there are a lot of great drummers. That kid Kye Smith, he’s from Australia, he’s been doing all these medley drumming videos for KZbin. He looks like he is just really killing it. He looks so relaxed and everything while he’s playing. I haven’t seen him play a whole lot of his own stuff, but he’s pretty rippin’.

[@MrBlain97]

I would like to address several thing. 1. Awesome cover. 2. The sound you get out of your kit is insane. 3. Where do you find the stamina to play like that? 4. Your poster wall is hot, especially Propagandhi and NoFX.

[@phukdeebiatch]

this how it should be! good cover! great skills dude!

[@billanger854]

Crazy solid rolls ,tight as hell Bravo!!!!!!!

[@javierlandabass]

def this is my favorite song of strung out, awesome job!

[@lamexcuseau]

Yeah Kye, kickin' arse! Catch ya soon mate

[@pongsitchingy]

Aight, thanks. Outstanding drum cover, by the way!

[@Joesbigballinass]

Dude. You fucking shredded on that song. Holy shit. Very clean fills. great single petal doubles. kind of a cross between heel toe and slide. I kinda play like that that. Great technique.

[@BOMBPHONICS]

Fuck yeah I love Strung Out, met them twice.

[@martinm987]

[@dnlchau]

you're my new hero!

[@umdiscodevinil]

[@MegaTechpc]

Awesome hands dude!

[@cmrosscmross]

[@-carlos-danger1891]

Fucking rad video. I love this band. I've seen them 10 times. What do you think about Jordon leaving?

[@menswear2112]

Damn, you’re unstoppable

[@anticHxCx]

That's great!

[@torj4431]

awsome

[@dieterdebacker1339]

Hey! I've listening over en over again to the song. You're doing an amazing job but are you sure the fills are as played on the CD? to me it sounds as if he uses some flams and also for the for the first fill I have the feeling that he hits the cymbal first then the hi tom going to snare back to hi tom and ending on floor. The end is the same as you do. Don't know if you get me. Anyway the way you play it is great and maybe I shouldn't bother about those fills and just play them the way you do

[@jennfiorentino]

Holy shit.

[@JoopDelingen]

@DavidPartay jeh, thats exactly what i thought. :) Getting more into punk lately but used to play a lot of metal, so speed's not really an issieu, just being curious:)

[@eljefe2016]

Dude, dude, dude.....dude.....nice!

[@geeksigns4562]

Please do a Backside cover!!! The original 7" version of "The American Way".

[@fullcolapse2000]

dude!you should try to cover some belvedere or this is a standoff songs!!will be awesome

[@HallwaysOfHeaven]

Beast as bro

[@pongsitchingy]

I've been trying to develop a technique for a while, and lately I've resorted to the heel-toe technique. Do you find the slide technique, or your technique, to be better than the heel-toe for quick punk drumming? And how long did it take for you to develop it?

[@Strizz484]

Fuuuuuucking ill you're really good man.

[@JoopDelingen]

Do you use slide technique or heel toe? Looks awesome but cant figure it out :P Keep up the good shit!

[@fatm1ke]

beast

[@pongsitchingy]

I've watched this video over so many times trying to figure out what technique you're using on the bass drum pedal, and it looks like the slide technique, but I'm not sure. Which is it?

[@TheOffsidersPunkRock]

Try a cover for Belvedere or TIAS... Nice practice w/ album "Be disappointed" by them.

[@realeasterne]

God I love this song! I'm pretty sure it's about star crossed lovers. Love this band too but haven't been into them since Jordan left. I even saw them live with the new drummer and they aren't the same. I can't get past the baphomet on their album cover either.

[@ImStian]

cool

[@jeff503pdx]

nice man

[@ChainsGoldMask]

Fuck yeah

[@umdiscodevinil]

you should have tons of views, but unfortunately, strung out is not a famous band =( it's my fav band, anyway. awesome job! ps. I think jordan burns would feel happy to see that breathtaking performance!

[@Dambix108]

Kul

[@umdiscodevinil]

holy shit! yeaaaaah o/ thumbs up for you =)

[@johnteresawilkinson8099]

insane.... i kept saying heck!!

[@clauderanger3333]

[@javiereu]

A perfect punk drumbeat machine!!! Great cover.

[@jessemontano6399]

[@DannyLiciousNumber2]

[@domdauphin]

requesting GEARBOX from strung out please!!

[@toryswanson8229]

Good job bro....fuckn shit up

[@MrBlain97]

Did anyone else notice at 2:25, he hits the right crash, but the left is sat shaking?

[@JoshVictim]

Fucking Ace man!

[@shakvras]

he record the video with only 1 cam i guess... but the video has 2 diferents angles... that´s why... everybody do that...

[@TheOffsidersPunkRock]

Thanks dude, I'm not so lonely in this world (joke!) I'm a drummer and I play this songs like u... I practice with melodic fast punk rock (I'ts my music, my passion). Good work! Nice try! Cheers.

[@menswear2112]

Good God, your right foot is bionic

[@stromkarl13]

@JoopDelingen he slides his foot.

[@PaulReinhard]

O.o

[@noodle654]

fucking sick...you should do some pennywise covers man

[@umdiscodevinil]

PUTAQUEPARIU

[@IDONOTSUPPORTGENOCIDE]

Sickness man! Great job!

[@alexshoward]

Mostro.

[@MrBlain97]

Yeah I guessed though, I just it was funny so I pointed it out.

[@davidpardy]

Definitely not heel-toe... But I hesitate to call it 'slide' technique... just, practise playing two hits and the technique will develop!

[@MrBlain97]

I wasn't being a dick? I just found it funny.

[@SteeVeeSiNNs]

timing def off but good vid and its safe to say there will only be 1 JB

[@threatfactor]

1 person is jealous.

[@guilhermeoceano]

Next one, dead fish band....from Brazil

[@beg0926]

you should cover a newer propagandhi song
