ZONDER POINT OF VIEW

[@trondsi]

I think Matheos said that Fates Warning turned more progressive with the addition of Zonder. I can see why.

[@Steeltowner]

These prog rock guys from the 80s 90s were cut from a different cloth. Just amazing!

[@Jester1411]

truly one of the greatest drummers ever!

[@WilliamC1966]

The best drummer since Peart!!!❤

[@WilliamC1966]

Its incredibly complex

[@WilliamC1966]

As far as Mark Ray...Jim and all the guys they brought along.,...

[@WilliamC1966]

He's the rightful person behind Rush

[@bags5150]

Agreed !!!! Would bring back the Smile in Alex and Ged face on stage

[@johnunderwood3132]

Shit!! Never thought of that.. nice one

[@WilliamC1966]

A story of getting a free ticket to a 1993 concert...I was a fan .. from no exit.... dream theater fan ..I ignored dt ..

[@dragomirminkov6843]

My teacher.One and only drumming style.

[@themetalalmanach]

Happy 32nd anniversary Parallels one of the best albums ever to me. Point Of View is outstanding and Mark is just insane. So glad I found this video

[@lomverol]

Mark's drumming is so stylish and sophisticated. When I discovered FW in the 90's, I initially thought it was a drummer's project. I love the band with him and after, but to me his technique and musical taste are unmatched.

[@sarta80]

Such a classic, outstanding masterpiece, outstanding master drummer, outstanding band, hero!!!!!

[@Weymolith]

WOW! Never would have thought the chorus was done with just a single kick! One of the best FW drum tracks!

[@MikeRiceDrummer]

These parts were so influential to me growing up. Such a treat to see!!

[@mr.koloboque]

there are few bands that i can listen to endlessly and not get bored. FW is absolutely one on them!

[@swirvinbirds1971]

I miss Zonder in Fates. Bobby is great but I always preferred Zonders style.

[@capnblack3721]

I have always enjoyed Mark's approach to his drum playing! Absolutely refreshing!! Very influential to me!

[@JuhaSalm]

Yes, Mark's drumming is so tasteful, melodic, thoughtful and skillful. I've been "metal head" 36 years, and he is still my absolute favorite drummer.

[@WilliamC1966]

Can't describe his technique yet his expertise

[@lorettahookano6139]

My favorite drummer…ever !

[@WilliamC1966]

Never gets old!!

[@LaPiernaDeMiAbuela]

I always thought that he was playing double bass in the chorus... damn. Such a great drummer, and often overlooked.

[@mitchellschleede569]

Joe's baseline run with Mark's drumming during the chorus gives it the depth. All of them are incredible musicians.

[@nads9223]

Awesome. This was the first song of the first concert I ever went to. Fates 1994 in SF. Still remember getting blown away once the song hit. Joe Dibiase on the bass and the drums were so powerful live.

[@johnunderwood3132]

B side first song on vinyl. Love the whole album

[@haruner]

Great drumming.I'd love to watch you play 'Eye to Eye' .

[@robertsewell536]

Absolutely my favorite drummer of all time. Your drumming on Parallels and Inside Out both stand the test of time 30 years later still some of the most phenomenal drumming I've ever heard. Best wishes to you Mr. Zonder Happy 2025 from North Canton Ohio USA

[@markzonder3771]

Thanks for the nice words. Have you heard the debut A-Z album with Ray Alder? The second album which is a bit more prog and heavier still with the big chorus is due out June 6 with the first single and pre order April 8th.

[@robertsewell536]

@markzonder3771 Thank you for the A-Z recomendation. Sounds great already. You truly are a wonderful drummer and fellow human being. Thank you for everything you have contributed to the music industry.

[@SimKopA]

So good taste on each fill. Specially the snare tuplet on 2:13. My favorite song from Fates Warning; killer drumming.

[@metalgaming420]

Fates Warning only sounded good with mr Zonder on drums ;) ... I love the old albums , ive heard them for 30 years and still they are a blast on my stereo now and then. The drums caught my attention,and I was instantly addicted \m/

[@stevelamonica2297]

Mark Zonder is my favorite drummer ever. I had a wonderful black lab dog that I named Zonder. The most overlooked and underappreciated drummer of all time! Give it up for MZ!!!

[@markzonder3771]

I think we actually met in the airport years ago. I told my son the story and he just cracks up everytime. Thanks for the nice words. New Warlord album released in May with touring in Aug as well as the new A-Z album will be out after that.

[@carlsandrews266]

i saw fates on Parallels tour mark made it look effortless. zonder is the GOAT i've been a fates fan since no exit, pleasant shade is hands down my fav album but i love em all. dream theater seems to get alot of attention but fates is where it's at imo.

[@angelogmpokolees]

Still one of my favorite songs. Great video Mark ! Thanks for all the great moments!

[@BrianRyback]

Laugh... But gets me emotional. This is an amazing song. Zonder is a God.

[@michaelstonedrums6877]

I always thought those chorus parts were double-kick! I wish the camera angle were a little more from the side to catch your technique a little more clearly, but either way: how cool!! I love the arrangement of your drum parts. Always so specific and musical!

[@brenthartman502]

LIkewise ... wow huh... lol

[@aaronaudioguy]

The floor tom is tuned much higher than I expected. But it cuts through so cleanly. Lovely playing!

[@jonathanrichard6881]

Hey Mark its been a while! I always think of the Blue GMS Kit you had and love it!!! I just got a Wood GMS SE Kit just under a Grand!! And Loving it, in my 41 Years of Drumming its the Best Kit I ever Played on and owned!! 20x16, 10x9, 12x9 and 14x12 Fl. I topped it Off w/ a Gretsch Bell Brass 6 1/2" x 14 and its killer!! Cheers!!🥁🥁🥁🎵🎚🎚🎚🎚🎧📻

[@martinschneider4677]

Been following you since the early 90s. Thank you for still being around. Such a delight, even more now!

[@lexbends]

Every one of those fills that go over the barline are just so sweeettt.... effin hell - all class

[@WilliamC1966]

Album is rich....its a classic..

[@amniotic_music]

Beautiful drumming!

[@shadowlifter]

Many many many years ago (young boy) I listened the "Lost and lonely days" track of Warlord. Still I remember the impression of that drummer whom I didn't know back then. The man is a BEAST! Complete musician!

[@reddurt8153]

Playing Traditional grip and WAILING, that power and focus....Got to see Mr Zonder play in West Palm beach Fla with Fates I think "Perfect Symmetry" tour with Sanctuary

[@rizzamran2775]

Drumcameo should put his song in the list...can't wait to see other drummer struggling to copy this..

[@Nor_Dem]

Parallels is my favourite Album of all Time

[@ridnthawave708]

This is why I sit in my room and practice and just wonder how he creates these masterpieces. Awesome Mark you make it look so easy. As for FW, Someone else commented on here about how they can never get bored listening to their songs, 100% agree. The amount of miles I’ve jogged with FW blaring in my ear phones. A lot of good runs through the country, beach, woods and neighborhoods over the years with help from FW....👍

[@silviosalcedo]

Thanks Mark, you are my inspiration...

[@SkorpioMusic]

Another favorite of mine. Love these uploads. Keep 'em coming!

[@kristijan1985]

amazing performance

[@billycarri6202]

Absolutely awesome. You're just a monster man. Keep them coming.

[@mrr8682]

still awesome as always!! Love the way your kits so tight and reachable....

[@USMCSDI]

Absolutely *BRILLIANT*

[@johnunderwood3132]

My favorite right here. Brilliant

[@innersoundjsd5770]

Best @Mark Zonder, Did you Ever think of transcribing this song and many more of Your Drumming Art, and even more inspiring, your thought process behind your drum parts? I have ALL Fates Warning Albums, and Most i Love the Drums...

[@garyconner6151]

Learned so much from mark zonder.such a great drummer.

[@bags5150]

Master ! Of his craft

[@brenthartman502]

Another Masterpiece by the Master :)

[@moumouzel]

Just amazing

[@hollowayndtengineeringinc.5201]

Lots of memories listening to FW to focus on the drums

[@WilliamC1966]

Good luck on finding a drummer and a percussionist like him ,

[@2028end]

Sweet !!!

[@ristyblackmore508]

one angle, "no frame edit" and no cuts. wow

[@GiuseppeVigliotti]

Maestro!

[@Nicolacalluorijeetkunedo]

Una Bestia💥💥💥Grandissimo Drummer, visto dal Vivo con i Fates ...Superlativo❤💥👊

[@LeonardoVaz76]

Fantastic!! Please consider doing a similar recording playing "Still Remains" Mark, that's one of the best FW songs man!!

[@USMCSDI]

Very few rock drummers play their sticks *traditional style* but Mark pulls it off with ease. I could NEVER hold my sticks this way

[@McLeanAB88]

Greg sounds so great!

[@WilliamC1966]

Fucking phenomal

[@SingAlongSafariSongs]

best drummer......ever

[@stickncarrot1073]

That was awesome!

[@tmaproductions2023]

Mark. Sounding good man!! Kind of stumbled upon your videos on here. How are you? Long time no see. It’s Todd Alexander. Bill’s Place was such a great spot. Especially that upstairs large room. Many jams up there. Great memories. Whenever I drive by that area even though it’s not there anymore I still feel the spirit. You were always so cool and I appreciated you letting me just come and play drums sometimes by myself for free!! Glad to see you’re still playing. Later

[@めんどくさがり-k4p]

i'm a big fan of yours！ Hi-hat handling is good！👍✨

[@guillermovillela]

note the single kick notes. just tasty!

[@AlexandreCriado]

Dunno if I enjoy because of the awesome and unique drumming or the great qong... probably both :)

[@WilliamC1966]

❤❤❤

[@kevinb3307]

Zimm kicks ass to

[@KlingerNOK]

One of the most distinctive drummers on the planet. Love that Zonder drum work! What recording is the audio from? Studio tracks? Because that's not the album version. Loving the sound of Alder's vocals on the track too.

[@markzonder3771]

Actually that is Gregg Analla singing and Nick Van Dyk playing guitar and Sean the bass player from Redemption.

[@KlingerNOK]

@@markzonder3771 wow. I saw Greg Analla with Seventh Sign a couple times and was blown away by his vocals. Always thought he sounded similar to Alder but that’s crazy. Got some great pics of him belting it out at the Samurai in OKC. What a loss. RIP.

[@capnblack3721]

HELL YEAH!!!!

[@WilliamC1966]

I agree .. Terry Brown was right..

[@alex-hi2gv]

Best drummer

[@WilliamC1966]

Unbelievable

[@GFYM_Finance]

Beast mode 🤘💀🤘

[@moacircarvalho7967]

MONSTER!

[@timoleonadamopoulos4671]

Icon!

[@pedroaragon8006]

Wow 🤘

[@matteobrunetti7142]

Zonder rulez!

[@WilliamC1966]

Wicked!!!!!! ❤👍

[@JalenRawley]

Hey Mark, what are the chances with some video of you doing the Chroma Key stuff like Undertow, On The Page and Colorblind? I absolutely loved your drumming on that album, would really love to see you playing those!

[@totallyeighties1941]

Is that all being done with a single kick-drum pedal?!!!

[@markzonder-xx4hs]

Yes

[@markzonder3771]

check out the hihat

[@totallyeighties1941]

AMAZING!!!

[@Signofevil_Smile4theCam]

You also see the left pedal shaft resting

[@elmarmichels2814]

That's ecactly how it should be done.

[@agirlsname7159]

What session are these stems from? A show? Studio alternates? I have every second of Parallels memorized I'm curious what era these are from! Wonderful!

[@matthewpaluch777]

😎👍💓🇺🇸💪🥁💣🔊🎼MARK!!!

[@timeless5486]

My point of view? Mark is absolutely the best🤘🤘🤘

[@adilsonrocha6901]

é um Monstro

[@JorgeS-bh7jp]

Esta versión no es la del disco Parallels. De donde es?

[@ElmerBMeder]

Majesty¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@stean3654]

The Seven Sacred Promises! just sayin

[@MikeTheRycher]

🖤🖤🖤🙏🙏🙏🖤🖤🖤

[@progressive_metal]

This is FW song, but played by other band (voice & guitars). Who are these guys?

[@georgiosdoumas2446]

As Mark replied in another comment "Actually that is Gregg Analla singing and Nick Van Dyk playing guitar and Sean the bass player from Redemption."

[@pstewartdrum]

Damn sounds so close in many ways.

[@mauriciohernandezdiaz9825]

Who's singing on this?

[@BadgerNCarolina]

I think it's Gregg Analla, Mark's former and unfortunately late singer from Slavior days.

[@MrShanonglass]

I spoke with God just the other day. And God said to me..”Have you ever heard of Mark Zonder”? To which I replied..”Yes, God he is an absolutely amazing drummer my favorite” And God said to me..”I wish I could play drums half as good as Mark”

[@reynoldreyno3368]

Sir mark your style are stolen by DT drummer 😂

[@Selkirk69]

love Mark's feel. Would love to see a duet of him with DiCenso.
