WHITECHAPEL - "A Visceral Retch" - Drum Playthrough with Brandon Zackey

[@MarceloCamela]

He looks so happy while playing this! Excellent playthrough.

[@ibannettez]

He’s the happiest drummer in metal!

[@ShadowMorph608]

@@ibannettezdidn’t think anyone could top Patrick Galante but I seem to have been wrong

[@CallaYeah]

@@ShadowMorph608 Bryce Butler from Shadow of Intent, he looks like the happiest man alive when drumming 😂

[@HardDisposition]

@@CallaYeahyesss watching Bryce play is so amusing

[@adityapillai2157]

​@@ibannettezyou might wanna look at Bryce Butler's drum playthroughs lol

[@nicktzhang0530]

I can still hearing that COMSUUUUUUUUUUME

[@davidflood]

I hear the Shhhh------------------------------------------tttttt

[@toyotaecw]

Brandon deserves so much recognition for his last record with Enterprise Earth and then going and doing the next Whitechapel record. Those stylistic differences scream versatility.

[@hakoneio118]

we now need bass playthrough

[@shaggy_e210]

Bass is just the top string on all 3 guitars 😂

Cleaner than a nun's cooter

[@dimplezncurlz21]

No, those are crusty with cobwebs 🤣🤣🤣 sorry just had to say something because that was great.

[@eddiegdrums1646]

That open-hand playing is wild. This dude is a monster.

[@The_KlaVra]

The little flams on the kicks are fucking sick. So happy Brandon is Whitechapel, we already seen Alex Rudinger open a new page of Whitechapel cant wait for the Brandon era of Whitechapel if this is the entry to it.

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

Alex Rudinger’s work with WHITECHAPEL just made me resent the loss of Ben Harclerode, but this original drum track by Brandon is an absolutely fucking wild composition of technical heaviness.

[@john-P-Doe]

Alex Rüdinger is also pretty awesome damn right Mate

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

@@john-P-Doe Rudinger is a killer drummer, but KIN sucked.

[@The_KlaVra]

@@Virvum_Juggernaut no it didn't, KIN and the Valley rule

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

@@The_KlaVra If those two sanitized albums are your pick of their works, why tf do you bother listening to an OG deathcore band when you wish they played a softer, lamer brand of music.

[@samkaplan9562]

Those doubles on the kick are so fucking clean holy hell

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

WOW! If Brandon maintains this moreish flavour of hectic drum composition for the remainder of the album, I won’t have to murderously curse the day Ben Harclerode quit his phenomenal WHITECHAPEL drumming duties anymore.

[@AaronNemeth]

Ben was an absolute BEAST.

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

@@AaronNemeth Just had a back & forth with 3 others who all rate Ben’s drumming as the worst of WHITECHAPEL albums and that “he tried to be too technical just for the sake of being technical”. LMFAO! IMO Ben’s the best drummer they’ve ever had and his feet were light years beyond every other drummer who played with them. To this day, I still listen to his brutally heavy compositions he recorded on OUR ENDLESS WAR. Edit : You’re a man of exceptional taste Aaron. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@spoggy912]

Dude agreed

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

@@spoggy912 🤘🏻🥁

[@chrisworland7754]

What a phenomenal drummer

[@whatcanibreakdrums]

Had the pleasure of seeing him live recently, and Brandon is SOOOOO freaking tight and sounds exactly like the record!

[@mariofloresdrums]

Damn this is so good I need to learn it now

[@iamtherealaura]

I like this drummer. Please keep him. Can we keep him please? :.(

[@hllw_x]

so sick! next video has to be the whole band together doing the song 🙏

[@ChrisKellyDrums]

He looks like Matt Greiner. Alex was great, but Brandon feels like the perfect addition to Whitechapel! Can’t wait to hear what else you put out this year

[@gerardo8888gtl]

I really, really love how in metal is so natural seeing members of bands wearing shirts of other metal bands that practically always are less heavy than their own band what is totally understandable because bands in shirts are older and for sure idol and influence of who is wearing it. It's like they're successfully achieving the main goal of making metal music heavier without forgetting the ones that marked the way.

[@alys__drummer]

Those fills were so smooth!!!! The whole thing was so smooth… wow!

[@wesleytrott6397]

1:40 to 1:45 is SO bad ass! Creative and heave AF. 🤘

[@cjkewley]

Zackey’s style is so good man. Gonna give this new album a whole new layer of groove and confidence.

[@SanFranPsycho650]

What more can we ask for? Feels like Christmas morning!!!! Brandon is an absolute machine btw 🔥

[@PhilosophicalDrummer]

Aint gonna lie i watched the video just to see what you played exactly at 1:41 because it sounded so good within the song !

[@MysteryArchives]

Slaps my friend! Excited for the new record!!

[@brandonlilly4109]

The blast at 2:54 is as clean as it gets, bravo

[@jormasimonen3878]

Very smooth playing. Amazing to see the playing in action. New album will surely be out of this world🎉

[@kevinsisco]

he looks so happy, while playing such a devastating,village-arsoning song.

[@leoluyckx_drummer]

awesome dude !! Really nice to finally watch how you are playing those parts:)!!!

[@PaveL123-w3c]

Drum sound is so tasty and natural, love it.

[@XOMGSkyrimX]

The double strokes are glorious.

[@Kydabra]

Effin sick 🤘 I love the use of the toms. Also, great double kick technique.

[@DarkPhantomSky]

Super sick!

[@CalderaDrums]

Absolutely ripped that song up dude. Nice job! 🥁

[@davidvanwagenen8623]

That snare sounds killer!!

[@florinebasbagill5601]

Awesome job Brandon!👏🔥

[@ibannettez]

Great play through B!

[@thedruidzmademe666]

Snare sounds absolutely massive 💪

[@dylanvasicadrums]

I don’t I’ve ever seen someone play open handed like that, that’s sick

[@Josh_E]

Absolutely killer

[@MikeEhmannDrums]

That fill at 35 sec in is just so tasteful

[@king-kore-studio]

He’s happy and enjoying the ride!!

[@danielwarren1290]

Love your work with our hometown band. Keep up the great drumming much love from here in Knoxville Tennessee 🤘🏻

Let's hope we can keep this drummer around a little while lol

[@kurt8597]

excellent

[@BlizzardPwns]

Super tasty stuff!

[@ThePieSnatcher]

beautiful drums, did not overplay anything at all. double bass used well throughout the song, the cymbals and everything complimenting the song instead of defining it. Just wow!

[@Dixby_floppy]

Lorna shore drummer watching this, "wait we dont need 1000 beats a minute the whole song 😂"

[@Ben-Stepner]

bruh😳

[@dilloncooper1080]

Well that was fkn sick

[@SxmuraiZxch]

god what a nice looking kit😍

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

He has a serious Matt Greiner vibe and I love it

[@Bubbles10181]

I really think this is my favorite drummer whitechapel has had since the this is exile days. Ben was good but, he just seemed like he played over the top technological just for the sake of being technical

[@tannerwest6823]

Kevin Lane will always be my favorite Whitechapel drummer

[@MyCoolboy17]

I 100% agree with this, Kevin lane is a machine and this is exile just proves it, he definitely was underrated in his time with Whitechapel if you ask me, but Brandon Zackey is proving to be a machine himself and he’s become my second favourite Whitechapel drummer

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

I 100% unequivocally disagree with that assessment of the many outstanding drum tracks penned by Ben within the discography of WHITECHAPEL. Ben Harclerode’s compositions are my favourite by far and the heaviest ever written for WHITECHAPEL (e.g.) Our Endless War contains absolutely incredible drumming but would’ve sucked and been a lot less heavier sans Ben’s contributions. Alex Rudinger is a great drummer, but I despise KIN on all levels … his drum tracks included. It’s heartening to see WHITECHAPEL finally returning to the core sound which made their name and made me a fan. This is fucking ballistic drumming by Brandon and I pray he maintains this technical brutality throughout the entire album. The official music video didn’t do this song’s drumming justice, so thank the universe for the ability to visually appreciate the complexity of Brandon’s note structure and technique of delivery via the drum playthrough. Edit : Regarding Ben’s technicality irking you (while enthralling me) there is no space between the plethora of notes anywhere along the duration of this complex drum track by Brandon … yet you’re super impressed by it.🤔

[@bilbobaggins7075]

Idk man the drums on self-titled and endless war are pretty fucking good

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

@@bilbobaggins7075 WORD

[@SIRebrum]

Every Single .... & I mean EVERY Single Whitechapel Drummer has Kicked Butts on their respective Albums, so 1 thing I wouldn't doubt Whitechpel bringing on would be the Drumming. Hope You've shown Higher Levels on the Tracks yet to be heard 🥁💥

its fucking raw!!! ❤❤

[@cde1147]

Clean as fuck! I love Alex but the one thing live that bugged me is he would drag tempo occasionally. When I saw them live during the Valley cycle, I could swear that when Alex was filling in with them, they were playing like 10bpm slower, which sounded off.

[@samuelmoreno527]

When the double kick goes doubletime his feet are positioned in the middle and it seems to kick 2 times per press, mans got himself a cheat pedal lol.

You're missing a kick drum

[@LeMichaelJordansPoleRiders]

tbh, Although Whitechapel is obviously the bigger band, such a shame he left Enterprise Earth for money.

[@helvetinpaskaa]

why does it look sped up

[@inspektorgadget1129]

you are right

[@Slime-Man-Extreme]

Possible has to do with the 30fps frame rate. Idk that's my best guess

[@sergedigiovanni7408]

It’s not….

Because he's that fast and that precise.✌🏻

[@WillofSlime]

Terrible camera angle

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

Still a better drummer than Lars
