the calmness you play with is amazing. So relaxed, solid, and fluent. Love your work and cant wait to hear what comes next!

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

Dude you are a freaking beast! You brought Sylosis to a whole new level with your drumming! Thank you

[@justynfogarty6209]

That mix is very good, and the bass drum is so tight

[@patricksdrumcoverseries]

Incredible sound and drumming! Loving it!

[@Weekbrownies]

I like how you can actually hear his rack toms, instead of them just sounding like another kick

[@lolokokogogo45]

W T F. The only human thing in your person is the passion dude. Fucking tight

[@Drumstix42]

So clean. Incredibly badass

[@Jukka85]

[@thehoppo]

That looks like so much fun

[@damascenoPRT]

The world want to see you playing a slipknot song

[@WoodyWeedPecker]

Tight as fuck indeed \m/ Saw them 13th of May in the Netherlands. The band just sounds extremely tight and the music is so intense. Going to see them the 18th of November again opening for CoB and LoG. To be honest...I'm there for Sylosis. Those who didn't see them live yet...go an check it. They are amazing live!

[@TheSentinel909]

Holy f**k thats some clean hitting, heavy and just right

[@BlackenedNL]

[@schof1212]

+Ali Richardson Is that a Yamaha oak kit? Sounds MASSIVE. Dave McClain of Machine Head uses the Yamaha oak kit and sounds similar in its timbre. Crushes!

[@yousefalturk7224]

👊🏻🥁🖤 Awesome 💪🏻🤘🏻

[@BlackenedNL]

At 3:19 I see you triggering a background melody, do you guys hear a clicktrack with that?

[@alieatsdrums]

Morris Kramer No click track at all during the set. This particular sample is some synth pads, so I can play around it. I do trigger other samples in the set though that require me to be in time. For them, all I can do is pray that it's a good night haha!

[@BlackenedNL]

Ali Richardson Lol!! Great playing as always man!

[@dalcala75]

does anyone know if hes using triggers? sounds great

[@Josh.Hey.Y0]

Holy shit ya!

[@WWENFLfan]

holy shit feet so fast, got dayum son

[@BobbyDidcott]

Hi Ali, I've just created a backing track with bass, backing and backing guitars and this exact drum play though. Was hoping to get your permission on uploading it to you tube, I will obviously credit you in the description! Thanks.

[@bullZz24]

Is it still possible to send the backing track?

[@derricklewis5397]

do you play with a click?

[@derricklewis5397]

I just realized that you don't by the fact that the song stops half way and Josh starts the song up himself

[@Hubson555]

insta sub! damn, this double bass fondles my ears! d^_^b

[@oyblin4300]

dang... dude's a fcking robot!!! :)

[@Raksh95]

why is Ali a british name

[@GLaugsand]

The drums are tighter than an eight year old

[@Jukka85]

I think someone needs to take a seat. Right over there.
