[@maness2112]

I will never be tired of this song.

[@Jepie]

Dude ikr it doesn’t get enough love

[@braun2041]

The audience were actually clapping on time in the beginning lmao

[@kantjokes895]

Djent fans may actually be able to count haha

[@matteobdrums]

It's really cool to see how he changed up some parts here, he really mastered this song!

[@burkeysreviews]

One does not simply become a djent drummer without being endorsed to Meinl cymbals

[@Keiferdeifer]

Djent? Sadly mistaken rook.

[@Keiferdeifer]

@@burkeysreviews lol better...jk dude its all good. Just being a dick with a phone sorry.

[@joedagostino7813]

Look up Derek Roddy. Hardly a djent drummer by any means.

[@joedagostino7813]

MockingBunny321 B even still. Look up vids of him at clinics. Really knows how to groove in the pocket.

[@DrumFFx]

i always loved them. good ones last long time

[@JoeChewBaca]

Searched my name, Joe Baca, and found this killer drummer who's not me😁!

[@ethanjohnson8958]

THERE ARE OTHERS?!?!?!

[@TheFloiboi]

Joey's the reason I picked up the sticks and it's so fantastic to continuously progress his own parts and form 🙌

[@KirkWilson86]

Language I and II will always go down as the best 9:47 seconds of my life. Joey is so creative and skilled!

[@haarperthehoplophile7652]

Joey Baca is legend. I can't wait to see them on the reimagined tour.

[@MohrJameson]

this show was so good & i won't forget hearing the clairvoyant songs live for the first time

[@nickbell3546]

I can see myself in the crowd :D This was an awesome show! It was so cool hearing their earlier stuff with better, modern tones and tighter drumming.

[@davidchoi33]

Joey really killed improvising certain parts here. Also, that floor tom is deep af.

[@jbasti227]

Amazing drummer, one of their best songs

[@1adoremusic]

He's so good! Major chops.

[@anguscole1]

this song is awesome,love the drum beat for sure.

[@DerrickSchneider]

Those ghost notes !! So good

[@AliothSenator]

Flawless.

[@mr_wessumz]

I don't know if Joey/The Contortionist ask you not to post the entire song, but why not just post parts I and II? Would be nice to see just one continuous clip of the 2 parts not in separate videos. Otherwise it's damn nice playing as it ALWAYS IS cuz Baca is lord of groovy wonderfulness.

[@bornbybeans]

Get any tunes from Clairvoyant? Thank you!!!

[@andrewromanowski4290]

Been waiting for this since you teased it on IG last year. Hope you have more footage!!!

[@drummersanonymous]

I had forgotten I even posted that. :D But yea, we're going to post one or two more.

[@interlacedlowtech]

Its hi-hat playin' is so sophisticated.

[@abramkoucheki]

there are already like 3 or 4 videos of him playing Language, choose another song! love your videos!

[@m45ed]

But it's great to see how he's evolved the way he plays it compared to a drum cam from 3years ago

[@drummersanonymous]

We’re going to post one or two more. 👍🏼

[@abramkoucheki]

hell yeah! still loved this one, joey is one of my favorites, i wanna see his whole set if it was up to me haha

[@TrebeL_]

Or at least put them back to back.. I enjoy the second part a lot more, personally.

[@shizerydelery]

drummers anonymous two please and thank you :)

[@MathiasManser]

awesome, thanks!

[@MusaTariq25]

Pretty cool to see how he changed the parts

[@Ironsvillage]

Is he playing the 13" Dark Hats here? They sound so crisp

[@danieljordison0793]

MEDrums i believe its a pair of soundcaster fusion 13”

[@7xmetalcullen95]

Groove machine

You should! Destrage are stellar musicians! Beyond crazy! Love from France!

[@turtletrashlicks1771]

The Percussionist

[@justicegutierrez6847]

One of those cases where the live drums are genuinely better than the album. Joey is one of the best drummers of our time

[@endofanera1983]

I want to see him drum the song contact

[@kalveryigor1873]

Gurih dan renyah euy!

[@johnnyconcannon]

This is 2017. :D

[@shizerydelery]

Was this show in Edmonton ?

[@Snareric]

This man went from 4/4 to 3 over 4 then use the 3 over 4 pulse to modulate to 9/8 what the actual fuck.

[@udaman100]

That crash hitting that china is bugging the fuck out of me

[@sasaki9825]

Did they play flourish?

[@o.o2561]

Anyone know that stack he is playing at 3:15 ??? Much appreciated !

[@joeybacatc]

It's a 16" byzance vintage trash crash, with a 10" soundcaster piccolo china on top. It actually sounds better with the 10" underneath ;)

[@o.o2561]

Thank you Sir!

[@giovannimasotti504]

anyone knows the app he's using on the tablet? and what is it for?

[@ThatOneGuyWithAReallyLongName.]

Not sure of the exact app, but it looks like it's used to adjust his in-ear monitor mix. My band runs a similar app for our mixes for our PreSonus board.

[@eyeHATEuall85]

Anyone else notice the 37 string bass?? Bitch is sweet! 🤘

[@Keiferdeifer]

No more constant ghost notes i see. Well really he just moved it to the hi hat.

[@ROCKON733]

Baked Baca

[@lastditch727]

This band used to be heavy

[@luisadolfochavezlopez2316]

Now it's perfect.

[@PrimordialKrishna]

You sound ignorant 🤔

[@lastditch727]

@@PrimordialKrishna it's the most basic observation possible. Sorry it went over your head 🙄

[@PrimordialKrishna]

lastditch727 it’s really not. How is it no longer heavy? Because it’s not fucking chugging 2/3 of the song? Adding more melody to a song does not make it less heavy. Take The Black Dahlia Murder for example. Most of their songs consist harmonizing melodies, arpeggio based solos, and yet they’re generally accepted as a “heavy” band. The reason your opinion is ignorant is because you, like some other “metalheads” still cling to the weird elitist mentality that change = less heavy = not good. Hope that clears it up for you as it didn’t go over my head.

[@lastditch727]

@@PrimordialKrishna you sir are ignorance defined. Putting words in my mouth with everything you say while calling me names lol. Typical internet bs these days i suppose. You see nothing in its context. I didn't even say it was bad or i didn't like it or it sux or anything. But yes, i miss the brutality of the early stuff. Get a fkn grip dude.

[@Ro700Repeater]

Love Joey as a drummer but can't stand his cymbal choices, each to their own I guess.

[@noahphipps1261]

Funny thing with these endorsements, it's not their first choice either.

[@Ro700Repeater]

He played Meinl for years before switching to Sabian, now he's back with them. Every cymbal company makes great cymbals, just personally I think that some of the series/sizes he has in this video don't fit with the bands overall sound.

[@joeybacatc]

Got any suggestions? @@Ro700Repeater

[@Ro700Repeater]

I think the bell of the ride could do with cutting a little bit more, perhaps something like a Byzance dark ride. The hi hats seem a little smaller than what he'd usually use too and I would say are a bit too much on the bright side. Maybe the Pure Alloy series 14 for hats? Again this is only my personal opinion :)

[@BionicleSaurus]

Agreed about the ride. I have the same one, and I've started putting a gel on it just to dry it up and make the bell clearer. On it's own, it's more of a crash ride. Still a beautiful sounding cymbal in terms of tone/timbre and all that though.
