[@Skysights5]

This was posted four months ago. I recently signed up for Drumeo and Chris is my favorite drummer. You advertise here that Hansha play along and drumless track are on Drumeo, yet I cannot find a single track by Oceans Ate Alaska on your platform, let alone "Hansha"...

[@ChrisTurnerDrums]

This was so fun :) thanks again guys ❤️🙌🏻

[@YoteNick]

Absolute legend. You and Eloy casagrande and el estpario are my go to drummers I listen to on a daily basis. Than you sir.

[@GreyMatterShades]

You did an awesome job! I'd love to see you do more stuff with Drumeo, especially their "hears for the first time" series.

[@bdssoaz]

@@YoteNick Same here, but also enjoy listening to Alex Camarena (Silent planet) and II (Sleep Token). 🤘 Chris is a freaking robot 💪

[@tannershade6606]

Please go back and play a song you've never heard before!!

[@MrMonday1000percent]

Could watch this forever

[@dirtyhalo20]

Chris Turner is the only human that can give a laptop a complex. Drumeo has really been getting sick metal drummers as of late. You guys need to get Buster Oleholm on here!

[@nathandriggs7376]

I agree, get Buster!!

[@luca2838]

We definitely need buster.

[@georgebrett1738]

I am just waiting for "Chris Turner hears XX for the first time"

[@tjroe5190]

Same here

[@elbeetlebeasto]

That would be dope. I really want to see a FTFT video by II from Sleep Token

[@itsamedood]

fuck yes

[@Shimo1721]

Yeah, That’d be sick!

[@TheDudeOnTheDrums]

The fact that Hansha is his chillout song is....terrifying xD Absolutely wonderful video, thanks everyone involved

[@Anthonyking166]

You guy's absolutely need to have Matt Greiner from August Burns Red on!!!

[@AndrewBarnes-l4w]

Was looking for this comment. He has so much flavor going on while staying true to the metal core vibe. Deck amongst the geniuses of drumming in my book

[@tingachhakchhuak6083]

This

[@Maybeabandaid9]

That would be legit cool to see. Matt is not only a great drummer, he's also genuinely a good guy.

[@davidadams7134]

YES

[@davidadams7134]

And Matt Halpern

[@bradenbob]

Watching Chris play is such a delight.

[@mattclever822]

Hansha was the first song I heard by them - one of the best songs I’ve heard from anyone, ever

[@FukkenDubben]

Same. ❤

[@sgtfumblesii6838]

You ever listen to their earliest stuff? Check out Clocks. Chris is just showing out on it. Different vocalist from the Hikari album though.

[@boonmercado5114]

​@@sgtfumblesii6838hikari is super underrated. a perfect blend of technicality, gnarly riffs and breakdowns, and catchy chorus. Their other albums are just monotonous imho

[@dieg0tauchert]

I'm an old fan of Ocean Ate Alaska and I've always admired the band drumming, good to see that Chris is getting the media he deserves. cheers from 🇧🇷

[@P.dripps92]

Whenever this songs ends the next track on the album (deadweight) goes through my head. I love Chris and OAA so god damn much

[@rozzah1399]

Hrrrrrrrnnnnnggggghhhhhhhhhhh BLEGH!!!

[@XxDarklexX]

Chris is one of the best drummesr of our generation! And thanks Drumeo team for recreating the drums tone of the album! Will be lovely if you guys do a mix breakdown!

[@thisisd2891]

I can watch this dude play drums for hours and I am not even a drummer. There are so many amazing drummers out there but for whatever reason he is always my favorite to watch and listen to him talk drums. 100% certified gigachad.

[@arne.hertstein-film]

Props to the phenomenal production! Sound, lighting, editing, smooth transitions all the way through, tons of subtle zooms in post...As a videographer and editor, I really appreciate the quality. Probably the best produced drumeo video I’ve ever seen. Cheers

[@timhicks7856]

Never heard of Chris or OAA until Drumeo featured him. Keep bringing these amazing artists! #DrummerGoals

[@MichelleDolan-kw1lf]

I play bass which I play follow drums. I play guitar, good rythimistist, and still getting my feel for lead . Over the years, drummers have become almost supernatural! Then on day, listening to Tool's "7even" ~~~~~~ after 5 minutes I have become frustrated with myself: "I CANT FOLLOW THE DRUM SYGNATURES!". WHAT IS HE DOING? IS HE SO ADVANCED,VA SUPER GENIUS?""" THEN I GOTTA HOLD OF WRITTEN T/S's and this opened up the drum universe to me 🎼💞🫶 Now to find this place, bloody hundreds of advanced drummers, my heart melts., it is a BLESSING TO ME to keep teaching my my self how I Want to flow between Drums, Guitars , bass. VOCALS TOO 😇 FIND new bands music with their drummers 🫶👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Endless Thanks and Admirations, Michelle

[@Nxclexrr]

II breaking down his best drumming parts and now Chris breaking down Hansha?! I'm so blessed to be alive during this time!!!

[@andymelendez9757]

I’m an old guy😂 so I do miss the space. This is so well played and articulated. Kudos to Chris. Your amazing.

[@joohwansong8878]

I can really see how hard you've worked during this time. Your drumming is truly inspiring!

[@stevesveine1248]

This is thhe song that got me into this band, and then consequently this drummer. As a drummer, Chris is in the highest echelon of technicality, and trying to relate to his playing is so hard, because of how talented and complex he plays. This is probably his "easiest" song, and it is still fantastic. Great job, thanks a ton for the back story and analysis of each part. Love you and OAA!

[@KirkWilson86]

Chris Turner, Matt Gartska, and Matt Halpern are three of my favorite drummers ever. What they've done for metal will forever be appreciated. Btw, my 10 year old daughter absolutely loves Hansha!

[@opitoresco]

Chris is such a monster, love his playing

[@billhicks7157]

Dudes one of my favorite drummers. Can make a small 4 piece sound like a 10 piece. His coordination and creativity is 🔥

[@lumberjackjess1794]

Would love to see him perform "Ukiyo". That ending drum fill he does is pure amazing!

[@LucianUmbrarescu1994]

5:05 really appreciate the sort of genuine walkthrough he provides in handling differences in tempo. Thank you Drumeo - you are a source of new good music!

[@LMaia14]

Didn't knew this band prior to this, but what an incredible peformance and great song. Will definetely check them out

[@DerekWrites]

I don't listen to a lot of metal, so a bonus of this channel is getting to learn about bands and songs I'd never hear otherwise

[@stevenjoiner9251]

Absolutely amazing. This song has been a huge part of my life for many years. Chris you are very impressive. I hope to watch you thrive for years to follow.

[@georgedotnet]

Those two crashes at the start are really so nice -- great touch

[@jonnycutts5254]

He has absolutely no right doing kick flams that clean, what a legend haha

[@Ryo7_7]

It's one of my favorites of Chris' drumming and as a whole. Love it 🔥

[@Cas_anova]

I can assure you that he's not entirely happy with this. Somehow.

[@jasonsell8523]

Keep it steezy

[@redgrengrumbholdt2671]

What do you mean?

[@Quartercaste]

Chris tells a story with his drumming, each section is like its own chapter throughout the song.

[@georgebrett1738]

Been waiting for this utter robot of a drummer to be on this. He’s a legend.

[@ApexATL]

I love that you guys are getting some metal drummers on the show! Seeing a wide variety of music represented is a breath of fresh air.

[@thecityofthemoon]

Hell yeah, this is the song that got me into Chris' drumming, cool to hear the backstory

[@AnimeAjay]

Such a fuckin tight drummer. Love Oceans Ate Alaska so much.

[@connoreagle6843]

This is easily one of my favorite songs of all time.

[@kubacermak98]

Cant wait for Chris hears .... for the first time.

[@nixneato]

08:00 - That's a full bar of 16th notes at 250BPM, people. Damn...

[@sahinlandman4667]

Bursts like this aren't that hard

[@nixneato]

@sahinlandman4667 Let's see you do it bro. That's 16 notes, it isn't a burst anymore, hence my pointing it out.

[@Austinwevo]

@@nixneatoDon’t let that dude tell you it’s not that hard. He’s clueless. That shit is hard even for people who play this style as a job.

[@sahinlandman4667]

@@Austinwevo I have been playing metal drums for 15 years now, I think I do know what I'm talking about.

[@nixneato]

@sahinlandman4667 Well by all means, let's see it then :)

[@The_KlaVra]

I never liked Oceans Ate Alaska, its not my type of metal but Chris Turner is always a HUGE win.

[@Sabin41]

I'm the same. I'm a metalhead but outside of this song most of their music is too techy for my taste. The drumming is incredible though, he's a fantastic drummer and super creative on top of technical

[@I_Am_Godron]

I keep trying to tell people how good you are man. For you dudes and dudettes that have never heard of Chris before now..... I introduce to you, the goat.

[@nathanstatham]

Chris is a freaking machine. Absolute beast of a drummer.

[@nathanemery9955]

I love the lack if kick at the beginning. It was the first thing that caught me.

[@IFKY]

I LOVE the decision to leave the first kick out and just have the crash(es). So unique! I did a double take, had to rewind the first time I heard it to see if I just missed it.

[@xkr3amox]

Love you Chris. What a complex master piece you created

[@henrysanchez8820]

i listen his band since 2014 and im glad that chris nowadays is recognized like a excelent drummer

[@timmybus21]

"if you wanna give it a go". Ha!! yeah good one chris!!

[@Notgoodsky]

we NEED more melodic mixed with beautiful breakdowns OAA

[@Senseigainz]

I cant wait for the video where Chris makes up his own grooves to some song hes never heard before.

[@joshualuster1972]

Cool seeing this, definitely the song that put OAA on the map for me, love it ❤

[@carloss4046]

best metal drummer.

[@GG-gr2px]

Outstanding control authority over the set! Amazing...

His timing not human! I'm going to have to research this guy. And shoutout to the sound guy as well.

[@RhonTaeKwonDo]

Amazing drummer!!

[@rmfishy]

This song is one of my faves and the drums definitely are what make this song as good as it is.

[@pepperonigum5688]

You guys have got to get @Kyle Brownlee on here. He is a robot and he is super precise. He has a few playthroughs up if you wanna check him out. Definitely would be cool to see him break down a Counterparts song.

[@AbuJafarPrima1]

bro is the final boss of drumming

[@Schlitorous]

he’s in the lineage for sure but not yet near the final

[@patrickryandrums]

everyone has different skills, there is no perfect drummer in every skill.

Chris Turned is the goat, got me when he said we had some beers hahah this is why he's a definite homie haha love this stuff.

Brutal la explicación, si duda uno de los mejores temas de OAA !

[@worldaswar3784]

what a fucking beast. love chris so much

[@LaSignor]

I love this guy. Looks alien like, sits with a very high drum chair. He looks like he's sitting properly and straight yet so stiff and uncomfortable. I wanted to buy myself a kit so bad but got into a motorcycle accident on my way to work last year that destroyed my left knee. Still the biggest drumming fan I would say.

[@M3talN3rd]

This is sick! Unrelated, but when do the Blake Richardson videos drop?!
