from drummer to drummer, you seriously have been one of the people who has inspired me the most through my drum journey. i’m going on 3 years playing drums, and it’s nice to watch someone who is so good at something be a super dope person, keep up the good work man, you’re going far

I love how we just got a tour of friggen floors

[@nils1]

Those Adoro Silent Sticks you show in minute 15:00 are incredible. Very light making the drums quiet, yet still stick feel&sound.

[@SwordCymbal79]

I’m actually thankful for the videos in that cramped space. I have serious ocd/anxiety, and starting playing drums at 40 as a form of therapy. Seeing your stands and other stuff bounce, jiggle and twerk around has helped me get out of my comfort zone. I doubt I’ll ever have chops like yours, but playing drums has strengthened me inside&out. Keep up the great content and I would love to see a destruction/construction Timelapse of your old setup and new. Do it!

[@nashvillemusicschool]

Honestly, great vlog Zack and Nathan! Y'all deserve alllll dat fun and experiences. 20 minute vlog didn't feel short at all, the video is so packed full of your experience and felt like we were there the whole time, meanwhile it was only 20 minutes. Editing/filming well done; we need more of them vlogs big boys!

I've been to Sweetwater before. my aunt and uncle live about 40 minutes from it and it was awesome! it has a music store (of course) and when you walk in it has an original beetles van. it also has a cool music studio, a large cafeteria. and a very BIG warehouse. overall, I recommend to everyone to go there

Loved it dude! I always stay til the end to see what shenanigans you pull off this time. Wasn't disappointed.

Yes definitely show us your new studio/setup! I’d be so keen to watch that. Any content is good content when it’s from you bro ❤️

[@br1an_b]

Hahaha I thoroughly enjoyed the goofs in this video. You got to see tons of cool sh🥁t! One thing I think your videos need in general is more consistent volume matching between sections so that the dialogue from different clips, and music at various moments, is all at more or less the same level. There are still moments where the audio gets MUCH louder or softer, which throws me for a loop. I still really enjoy your content and your personality-thanks for putting out such fun, ever higher-quality videos! ✌🏻
