Joe Rickard of RED playing "Death Of Me" Live

[XxiemocupcakezxX]

Also, his drum didn't tip over. He actually pushed it. If you look Seth other YouTube videos if them performing the same song, you'll see the same thing happen. :)

[XxiemocupcakezxX]

@skinnywhitedrummer it's most likely because that's the type of drums he was using at the time before he switched to spaun.

[skinnywhitedrummer]

But wuts up with the Truth drums in the end of the video? Joe uses Spaun drums.

[skinnywhitedrummer]

SINGLE BASS BOSS!

[HandsHeldHighRock]

@JefferyDrumpants yes, but do you notice how he switches between hitting them straight on and swiping? He's "equalizing" the ware on the hi-hat. He's hitting the cymbals straight on.

[candjsmom1]

You know you are rocking really hard when you have to keep your drums from falling over. nice save.

[1912drummer]

love it love it :)

[HandsHeldHighRock]

@xXxArcAngelAnetxXx it's not hard, I've done it before. Plus his cymbals are heavy duty so they're made for that

[JeffreyDrumpants]

@HandsHeldHighRock eh, theyre just a customs. if you see how he hits them, how he side swipes, thats why they take a beating. its the proper technique so theyll last longer. :p

[aespor]

Silent China!! HECK YES! 1:48

[KXRB16]

I love Joe Rickard. He's a great guy, I've met him twice. And he's an amazing drummer

[duttmeister11]

What's he doing with the Tom at the very end?

[xXxArcAngelAnetxXx]

OMG, my arms would fall off 10 seconds into that. D:

Joe is awesome! : O

[Mr1manproductions]

Soo much energy into the drum kit :D

[johncenasbabe7324]

joe is amazing <3

[irishrocker171]

i love how joe plays with the same intensity as the rest of the band...red is awesome!!!!

[JasonsStories]

PLEASE DO DUNCAN PHILLIPS

[Mattroful]

Pretty sure he plays Spaun, no?

[JackMehoff845]

@Mattroful yes but he use to play truth drums

[JasonsStories]

can you do one of these but duncan phillips from the newsboys

[xxJSGC123xx]

Lol loving the beginning of the first verse, Joe looks like he's slapping the hi-hats XD.

[dd1137darin]

I this video he is using A custom

[17shadowoftheday]

@dd1137darin yes as well as the standard A zildjian series. i rly want to find out what china he has tho

[TheDrum808]

@17shadowoftheday - You can catch a glimpse of the Z of Zildjian on the cymbal at 0:50.

[Slame333]

Favorite band. 1 of my fav drummers.

[ajDRMRgonzo]

@Slame333 mine too man! you happen to know what cymbals he uses?

[jaktje]

i love how his hair going apeshit xD

[houseofheroesfan1]

wow hes all into it! and i like it! good job Joe

[CoJackProductions]

Think of how epic he must have felt at 2:08 with that snare fill into that synchronized part with the guitars back into it. The breakdown is already epic enough as it is.

[hornywigger]

Joe is sick because he's so simple, yet very forceful and energetic.

[ZZ1F1]

His style reminds me alot of Shannon Larkin of Godsmack.

[LittleDollGirl]

He's sooo yummy!

[FerdinelloMusic]

His feel is amazing. Bravo Joe.

[aimless54915]

He reminds me of Animal from the Muppet Show! So much energy!

[dev3553]

poor arms :(

[premiumprime1998]

joe is awsome the ending i was like wow

[premiumprime1998]

lol randys just walking around in the backround

[NapoRinc]

Joe is a big inspiration to us drummers. Joe keep rocking and don't stop till you break the set.

[Zhikaly]

he has to play good reflection :D :D

[lightman15701]

love his hair

[NapoRinc]

Joe is a big inspiration to us drummers. Joe keep rocking and don't stop till you break the set!!!

Napo

[xxNailFirexx]

@motherbrain1 dude, he freakin scares me

[premiumprime1998]

@xxNailFirexx y?

[xxNailFirexx]

@premiumprime1998 1st time i saw Red in concert was at a thing calld Camp Electric in TNe and man, if the stage atmosphere wasn't creepy enough Joe playd those drums like a gorila on speed bangin em and crashing em til the stage monitors clipped. After the show all the band members came down 2talk to the campers about their equipment & stuff coz u kno it was a music camp & all & Joe leaped off the stage &landed right in front of me &it freaked me out. Dnt worry i got 2kno him &hes pretty cool:)

[joshluvscookies]

Joe is so beast!!!!!!

[princess777ful]

JOE IS AWESOME AND BEATIFUL!! ;D

[8water12]

joe rickard i love you dude! i just saw you and the rest of the guys for winterjam in baton rouge! you guys are amazing!!

[beuhtris]

does he have a ride? it doesn't look like it

[koolslug]

@beuhtris My guess is that the low crash cymbal on his right is used as a ride. You can tell because it seems like a heavier crash compared to the other two crashes.

[gregmyersjr]

@koolslug that's a 22" A custom Medium Ride. He also uses an 21" A Custom Sweet Ride right about it. (Inbetween the 22" and the China.)

[koolslug]

@gregmyersjr Ah I see. Thanks for clearing it up.

[drummer4life2014]

@beuhtris he has a ride but he crashes it. a TON of rock drummers do that nowadays.

[risendrummer14]

who ever mase this video thank u!!!!!!!!

[zuallauz]

LOL looks like they dubbed the album music over the live show. They don't have violins etc in their live show, also the drum hits don't match up in places.

[bentlanator1]

I adore him(: haha he signed the back of my phone and a poster at winter jam!

[IAmBland]

man! He did that tom thing at the end in my concert, i thought he was just that cool to catch it before it fell! Guess it was meant to happen...:/

[Iamapeanut10]

what was he doing when he pushed his tom forward at the end??

[powerpoopper]

i also saw him last night, he was my favorite out of everyone at the Winter Jam

[tijame]

I like the bass drum kicks during the chorus!

[imsocolorsharp]

I love Joe! SAW HIM LAST NIGHT AT WINTER JAM(: love him and his hair!

[watchandbamused]

Lolll the sound wasnt even from the concert, it was from itunes...

[ShaunStruwig]

Great energy playing live!

[JRock462]

throat slice? 1:48



[paisteuser06]

solid drumming man, lots of power.

[rm250fan]

indianapolis? when were they here? i never heard anything about it...wtf!

[alexfraley]

@GoodOlTexas he's in the entire video.

[nm1underoathfan]

Nice vid this guy is sick on the drums

[screamo4life7]

he reminds me of matt greiner!!

[ImaginaryHuman072889]

@screamo4life7 no way, matt greiner has a totally different style. still both great drummers though

[screamo4life7]

@ImaginaryHuman072889 oh trust me I know..there is just something there..

[alexfraley]

@daanielleh for some reason I don't believe you. Idk no offense, just seems unlikley.

[eckounltd287]

Any idea what size and type of zildjians he plays?

[drummingtothesky]

@eckounltd287 all zildjian A new beats 14, A sweet ride 21, 22 a custom ride, 20 rezo crash. :)

[REDprimetime]

@somethinginbetween8

Yeah, all G2's.

[somethinginbetween8]

@REDprimetime what about the bass drum?? EMAD perhaps??

[gregmyersjr]

@somethinginbetween8 I think he plays Aquarius on the kick. At least he does in the studio. And he also uses remo in the studio.

[somethinginbetween8]

@gregmyersjr yeah i saw that in their studio podcast things.... that bass drum sounds great! I think he also used one of those subkick things.. oh man.. eargasm!

[drummingtothesky]

@REDprimetime emad on bass????? what about snare??????

[LIFEGUARDLADI08]

@daanielleh heck yes luck you..

and he is extremely nice in person..when i

met him they were in vegas and he was

extremely sick and yet he was still so

polite..he looked as if he would have fainted

at any given moment..

[ATDFXN]

you must be Dani... i follow him on twitter and alot of his tweets are about you. im a guy but you're pretty lucky i guess you could say. anyways, joe is an awesome drummer

[como5544]

Man i need to learn this beat !

[LIFEGUARDLADI08]

he is oh so hot

[GPlayerLogan]

Just a question. Im a big Red fan and ive always found this very confusing. Did Hayden Lamb write the drum tracks and is this guy just performing? Is this guy in the band now? or is Hayden Lamb outta the game now? Its so confusing! This guy isnt really mentioned i ntheir CD and he gets like less than 10 seconds of him shown in the Death of Me video.

[JORDANROUBIQUE]

prolly one of the best live drummers ever. i wonder when they are going to write new stuff..?

[vhawk12]

Man, it is so fun watching him play.

[ms80kyle]

Why was he hold the drum at 2:15?

[JORDANROUBIQUE]

its just something he does. hes a preformer too ya know lol. he just does it to look flashy and real into the music.

[iLuvDRUMZ191]

Awesome! Joe is just a flat out freaking good drummer

[josh777tdr]

my mouth just dropped sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick and more sick

[ineptbass]

Sick sick sick sick sick.

[Zallieman]

he's a great drummer!
