Brooks is a amazing and "The Stage" album is a masterpiece.

"Masterpiece" lmao

[@billahler7728]

I’m starting to think this is one of the best drum albums I’ve ever heard.

[@myztikaalx]

It is without a doubt a musical masterpiece, the drumming throughout the album is stellar, complex and creatively serve the songs really well. The riffs are great and the solos are incredible as always from Syn. Matt's vocals are strong and the lyrical content serves the songs well. I was absolutely blown away the first time I heard the song "The Stage" and "Creating God" is definitely one of my favourite songs Avenged Sevenfold have ever written. Great album and great band 👏🙌🔥❤

A groove that sticks in your head for life

This dude's footwork is amazing

[@guitarfates7238]

i always thought that Brooks drumming in "The Stage" was so remarkable. Those double-bass rhythms and tones just make the album a whole lot nicer!

[@helco2856]

First time I heard higher it was on repeat for at least 3 days . I love avenged. Been a fan since 2005, elementary years

[@JacobC479]

I really wish we could go back to when I first discovered them, my friends older step brother gave us a ride to his house and was playing the self titled album that had just come out.. I remember watching their videos from City of Evil on MTV though, I can’t believe it’s almost been 20 years.

[@jurecagalj6842]

Dude has one brain for each limb, love it.

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

This was such a cool beat for that song. Something what you wouldn't expect and that's what makes it memorable. Brooks is the man!

[@jackischannelaboutnothing]

I love this. That whole album is on another level and Brooks is a huge part of that. Seeing these breakdowns is awesome even for those of us who don't know the first thing about drumming. It just makes my appreciation for the album that much stronger.

[@timc5347]

Literally my favourite drum riff from the album 🔥

[@helco2856]

That stack sounds crisp. It's been a minute since I revisited this video. Everytime I see it I want to drum. This guy gives me the same inspiration the rev did

[@ayapamungkas2267]

The drums for this song really caught my attention the first time I listened to it and the song itself became one of my favorites in the record. Beautiful.

[@thestagepodcastt]

I love Brooks. Definitely changed my perspective on drumming.

[@vermilion272]

this groove is so infectious. i think i finally figured out why The Stage became my favorite album along with LIBAD. love all the other A7X albums but the last two just hit different. Brooks if you read this, thank you for the breakdown man 😃

[@randomuser-vs3oe]

Brooks fits really well into the band, I'm glad they could find someone who fits the rev's shoes while also having his own drumming personality. Both him and the rev make drumming look so easy with how effortlessly they appear while drumming.

[@frogpapi4636]

I don’t play double kick anymore, and grooves like this make me miss it lol

[@russell_kberg1]

why don’t you play doule bass anymore?

[@sylvester3068]

Those kick sound though!!!! Freaking brutal

[@thelmabradley7176]

I love this with the use of using both left foot and righ foot!! Very useful and productive....Thanks immensely!

[@chardeemacdennis3852]

When I first heard higher I felt like it was the best drummed song I've ever heard

[@danlc95]

He's got that 70'/80's fusion/studio finesse and approach like his brother Chad, Vinnie, and Jeff had(s). He's such a classy sounding drummer.

[@nathanlawrence656]

I do wish this dude did more drum tracking on youtube. I F'n love this dude's style, really inspiring

[@georgeramos2176]

He has been posting videos almost every week on his channel. But they are always very short.

[@Marc-xo2rx]

One of the best ! my favorite for sure ! Cant wait to hear A7X new material !

[@abdultaylor6571]

His grooves are EPIC.

[@Darkhalo314]

Incredible groove by an incredible player

[@KenHada]

Untouchable

[@GeoffBosco]

Had no idea Chad had two other brothers who are well known drummers.

[@Boognish_]

Brooks was amazing in Bad Religion

[@G_Gr00v3]

And a bassist brother too!

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

Nice breakdown and noting there's no snare. As a guitar composer/performer for book trailers about comics seeking inspiration, I like those rhythms since they sound nice and can be used to create similar ones on guitar in a unique way. Great instruction!

[@sandymuhammadramdhan9133]

At first I hated this song. But now I love it, its one of my favorite 🔥

[@AlexJasso100]

Pretty much how i felt about the entire album. The Stage is now one of my favorites

[@ASpoonfulOfJimmy]

@@AlexJasso100 Pretty much how I feel about almost all prog rock songs. Gotta listen at least 5 times before i love the song!!

[@crazybutcool5150]

Dude amazing. Most famous drummers dont do this. Thank you

[@goreweeb4566]

Brooks could be a great music teacher!

[@Souparnabiswas]

Great Drummer As Always! ❤🤘

[@harmnax]

The splash of the stax is a K custom Dark splash? Or the normal K splash

[@vividimagination5018]

That Sound 👏

[@St_Mindless]

Would love to see a breakdown of the Higher chorus

[@sweetwater]

Great idea!

[@St_Mindless]

@@sweetwater I think I figured it out, but it would be so much better to see the artist himself teach me 👌😇

[@St_Mindless]

@@sweetwater A breakdown of Sunny D would be even better. I just cannot figure out how to play the verses 🤣

Bring more videos with him

[@Lyendith]

Wait, he plays most of it with one foot? What the hell?

[@ulbricht1999]

come on. the short version for Avenged Sevenfold is A7X, not A7F as seen in the hashtags of this clip. Thanks.

[@hazardgaminghg122]

Looks like they changed it.

[@rockers829]

Brooks Wackerman is from Bad Religion he join the band in the late 2001 after Bobby quit Bad religion

[@ivansick]

After Watch Brooks play drum, and I try this lick... I'm Done with Drum and back to play Flute...

[@fakeisforf2841]

Brooks is the man but if this is your first playing cross sticks maybe try something easier :)

It's my favorite of that album to be honest.

[@paradigmshiftz7]

Song is underrated tbh

[@galacticjuicedaddy1305]

Are you kidding? The outro of this song is arguably the best part of the album
