I just love the fact how Sylosis, bleed from withing and Architects are connected. Ali, drummer of bfw and sylosis Josh, guitar on architects, guitar and vocals in sylosis Martin was guitarist in bfw and now is guitar tech in architects. Pretty badass lol

[@eanalbe3525]

Thanks man. Your information help me a lot because i just started listening to Sylosis. You rock man.

[@twojstarego]

also current bassist Conor is playing in Conjurer :) and poor Bailey is a programmer outside Sylosis :D

[@eanalbe3525]

@Bruno Stockdale thanks!!!

[@stevel2309]

That setup is... perfect.

[@heavydrumsinc4816]

Excellent drummer and excellent cymbal use!!

[@keni203]

Such incredible drumming and you actually look like you’re having fun unlike a lot of drummers! You can tell it’s your passion!

[@Engine45]

Clean and great metal drumming with feeling and groove. Not this kind of ultra fast trigger blast drumming of nowadays. Loving it.

[@eliaselias4647]

Yeah and he doesn't use triggers i think

[@lylewhite479]

My God!!!! You've done it. You are now in the top ten metal drummers of all time in my book. Ali!!!!!!!!! 👊🏼

[@TheWitchOvAgnesi]

Best parts of this: - The fact that he uses the Roland SPD-SX - one of the best and most versatile pieces of electronics out there. - The AAX Metal cymbals (crashes and splash). Absolutely perfect for keeping musicality in extreme metal - The 21" Holy China. Probably THE best FX cymbal ever made - that size... the 21" version. - The highly musical HHX hi-hats. - The Black Panther snare. IMO THE best snare known to mankind. I love mine like my own child. From this dude's set-up alone I can tell he uses his ears (and protects them), and it makes me want to find out more about him and his projects.

[@iloveNgany]

SpikeFlea ever try the black panther brass cat? It will make you disown all other snares lol

[@TheWitchOvAgnesi]

@@iloveNgany Never saw this message - sorry. Nah, I prefer wood snares over the metal ones, unless they have a ton of airholes to make them drier. I hate the ringing that metal produces. I will try to hear it though.

[@peripheral8]

Really appreciate the upload, mate. Love watching drum cams of live sets, especially when it's Sylosis, my most favourite band of all time. Much love

[@MetalionMusic]

I love your cymbal setup, man! The Power Bell Ride, Holy China, and HHXplosion Crash in particular sound awesome to my ears... great tones (and great playing on them too)!

[@bryceharney5960]

So glad Bleed from Within picked up this dude! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@avi.666]

right arm, CFH!

[@panjipratama7313]

Amazing Amazing

[@slash_n_burn]

3:35 is insane

[@ericmsandoval]

Literally all it is is RLRLRL with both bands and feet lol

[@Drummer12ify]

Eric Sandoval yea but very cleean

[@ElijahJohnsonDrums]

Eric Sandoval it doesn’t have to be hard to be fucking insane

[@Brandonbikes]

Yea those splashes really blow it up

[@larvaedadindex]

@@ericmsandoval yeah but damn it's just sych a nice fill. Not too overstated or anything. Delicious!

[@keenman0403]

Nothing beats the old Sabian logo…now it looks like some 12-year-old kid who wanted to be edgy drew it in his notebook during class

[@percyboy2066]

Simply effective

[@DaxterZA]

Great video! You need to upload more of these

[@augl2702]

Badass

[@BrunoRositto]

Love your playing man!

[@alex_fraidenberger]

Playing and sound awesome!

[@jackwilczynski6957]

I love to see metal drummers do foot triplets single kick

[@ElijahJohnsonDrums]

He has a double bass pedal so he can still do double bass without two kick drums

[@jackwilczynski6957]

@@ElijahJohnsonDrums i think you missed what I was saying... yes he has a double pedal, but he used only on foot to do a double, Its nice to see drummers do that when they could as easily just use the slave pedal as well to do it.

[@ElijahJohnsonDrums]

Jack Wilczynski oh, I guess I didn’t get to that part

[@jcreina25]

Sweet setup, sick grooves brotha! 🤘

[@MiguelLopez-ll5us]

im really enjoying that klick sound from your rolad spd sx.. thats the best fucking metal kick ever lml lml

[@BlackenedNL]

Proper job mate!!

[@AMH4brothers]

🔥

[@tigerrr1227]

chris adler hair...adler style intertwined with Ali's...nothing wrong with that.

[@salesone8615]

And the beautiful snare sound to match

[@Jarhead1313]

Hi mate, I need to ask you a question, Great chops by the way! But my question is, your sound is perfect and I'm looking to achieve the same on my kit. I've got the Evans EC2's and G1's ordered but haven't ordered my kick heads yet, because I know you said yours are the Emads, but are they the Emad 1 or Emad2? A response will be greatly appreciated!

[@GMDCymbals]

Not into this music, just into great drumming. Nice job brother!

[@yousefalturk7224]

You are awesome

[@retodrummer]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@djabthrash]

killer

[@VisionEditz]

Very tight! What happened to your x-hats?

[@CatsCoffeeGuitars]

Ali ,,The Octopus" Richardson

[@francescopratelli6894]

Which ride are you using Mr Richardson?

[@kalledolk394]

that would be a sabian hh power bell

[@tigerrr1227]

single strokes are very marching tight...not sure of Ali's background, but...

[@Menoetius.]

Is the new bfw album still happening, man?

[@Brandonbikes]

3:34

[@metalheadturner6459]

[@Riktar69]

Kicking fucking ass mate. lml

[@elijahsmoot4086]

[@kalledolk394]
