Richard Christy of Charred Walls of the Damned Talks & Demonstrates Gear for CWOTD's July 2010 Tour

[Eharrisiv]

Kick Fuckn Ass Bro! Loved It!

[Eharrisiv]

That is kick ass Rich

[highonbetter]

Damn i thought he just played a good butt bongo Ha'ha

[novembre8211]

Awesome drummer and seems like a pretty down to Earth guy too. Can't argue with that :)

[Deth43]

thought he was a Pearl guy...

[sinnnerfree6666]

@Deth43 He was a Pearl guy just like Vinnie Paul. I don't know how they are getting these metal guys to switch over. I think they sound like shit, especially the bass drums. I've played Mapex all my life. Love them. Listen to Richard on Death's, The Sound Of Perseverance. AWESOME SOUND!!

[netrioter]

@Deth43 He used to use a old set of Ludwig Vistalites and a DW set a long time ago

[Babbaboooey]

Hey bud...this is yer dad.

[wdmnetwork]

tim sabian symbols or riley martin symbols?

[poopyscoopy5]

watch?v=pF2zr0X6JzU

[poopyscoopy5]

Lol Richard you totally jacked my buddy Chris Marshall's drumming style. Even down to the new muscular look. The facial expressions and how you hold your body is so similar it is eery. He used to be in boxplow and go to Audiohammer occasionally.

[lorenkopp]

WHO'S HIGH PITCH?

[flyingdirtyclouds]

fucker !

[Rhac66]

Que baterista........... Arriba Richar nunca una percusión sonara tan perfecta y excelsa como en The sound of perseverance y Control Denied

[dyziu82]

my favorite drummer !!

[InHumanForm555]

Your are the MAN RIchard!

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

He's amazing, but I hate how he sometimes sticks out his pinkies, that's kind of a pet peeve of mine. But idgaf in this case, since he just plays so well.

[wdmnetwork]

@ShittyMcPoopyBalls that's not his pinky. fag

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

@wdmnetwork Fag...how mature. They are his pinkies, I don't even know what kind of argument you're trying to start.

[nesho100]

fuck,,,,

[Jahkillian]

This is one happy dude. Living the life. Making phoney phone calls on Howard and still drums pro.. 

[DrumsScotchPoker]

No way this guy should be setting up his own kit on the road.

[gazibakkal]

in 7:49 he rapes the trampet..poor you dear trampet

[tomodrum]

What's on the dvd that comes with their debut album? Does anyone know?

[AleksanderNile]

@tomodrum a little bit of the making of the album, some of richards pet duck haha, and a drumming video to ghost town.

[tomodrum]

@AleksanderNile Thanks for the info!

[AleksanderNile]

@tomodrum no problem:)

[chrisbDTM]

this kit's my faaaaaaaaaaavorite

[chrisbDTM]

this kit's my faaaaaaaaaaavorite

[poopdeck2009]

Richard is an amazing drummer; he's my faaaaaavorite.

[NumeroUnoGringo]

i wish i could "scale down" my drumkit and still be able to play it. I have a 7-piece Mapex at home, but a 5-piece Pearl at my practice space. Whenever I get behind the smaller kit, I feel like I've forgotten everything I've learned about drums.

[FU420B]

Hey Rusty lol

[VirusToxin]

"that's my faaavorite"

[Motaboy67]

This guy is one of the best drummers in the business.

[35057]

I'm gonna start following richard a little more now. Didn't know you were a drummer till recently on the show. Great Lars interview and don't mind Howard's comments.. :-\



[NVP12345]

look up richard christy  "I'll tumble for ya"...can you believe this is the same guy??

[horridedifice]

of course as i'm watching a freakin earthquake hits Virginia 5.9... It's all Christy's double bass!

[horridedifice]

Hail Christy! Hail Death! Control Denied! Hail Iced Earth! Hail Charred Walls of the Damned!

[bee4010]

Hes badass

[bee4010]

What talent

[skateboardinggrant]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww that was awesome go richard

[bea5ToloG]

ive seen better dummers but have not seen a better gear video. for all you trolls, im not saying im better than richard christy.

[encoreee90]

what is the name of song in the beginning ?

[behemoth056]

holy shit, is that the guy from the Howard Stern show.

[metal4eternityX]

@behemoth056 Yes it is!

[barfface4000]

@behemoth056

yes



[TheTim4351]

@behemoth056 lmao yeah

[MorningRise90]

@behemoth056 haha yeah.

Love this guy.

[MrShredtilldead]

@behemoth056 Yeah. Richard Christy has played for some of the best metal bands ever including DEATH and Iced Earth. He gave up life on the road to go work for Howard back in the mid 2000's. But he has a new band now.

[JackMehoff845]

@behemoth056 yep 

[JackMehoff845]

Something a little ironic- Gene Hoglan and Richard Christy were both in death, Both use sabian cymbals, Both wear bigass boots to play and both play with ankle weights

[dwayne515]

@behemoth056 you mean 'its the guy from Death' :P

[BittenMitten]

@dwayne515

i was gonna type that word for word.....beat me to it!

[dwayne515]

@BittenMitten hahah it had to be done!

[Jinzar84]

He pwn so much,i love his style!

[RedShogun13]

"The Sherminator" from The American Pie movies always reminds me of Richard Christy for some reason lol. They look just a tad bit similar.

[darcygoesfast]

mad skills!

[masterduppy]

Christy iz a god.

[bce5150]

polish baseball hat?

[Number1HB]

Loved Iced Earth. Then went to the states and started listenin to Stern. Loved Richard. Didn't realise for months that he was a fuckin drummer. Such a funny fucker and such a sick drummer. Humble as shit, lovely guy, legend.

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

Richard Christy is most likely one of the greatest human beings that ever existed.

[pinheadpizza]

who knew my dad can be a sick ass metal drummer lol

[lucaballesi]

9:12 ♥

[manolodrummer92]

quien sabe que numero de baquetas son las que usa richard

who knows what number of sticks are used richard

[dreamevil7072]

RESHARD <3

[ImmortalSpammer]

i dont like how he shrunk his drumkit but i understand why he did it. setting up your own kit is a pain in the ass

[RAFischer88]

lars disliked this video twice

[RAFischer88]

wish this guy was back with iced earth. i miss hearing his insane drumming skills behind schaffers rythum.

[Drum3r541]

those heads sound like shit

[dyziu82]

Chuck + Richard = Perfect ( CONTROL DENIED )

[icepick2020]

Reechard Christeeee

[npauljarrett]

redneck cunt

[BittenMitten]

@npauljarrett

are you fucking kidding me? get out of here you asshole.

[VeneratioDiaboli]

He's the one who played drums on "The sound of perseverance" and following tour, respect!

[TheWitchOvAgnesi]

Wasssup up with the double pedal, single kick setup Richard?

Really?

C'mon.

On the other hand, I agree with his vision regarding the cymbals...

[dreaminginnoother]

One of my favorite people on Howard Stern, and also an amazing drummer. Love this guy!

[MisterWhat666]

4:45 DEATH METAL CHRISTY!

[jorgenmac]

Amazing drummer. Really top of the heap. Ads so much to every song he plays. Check out "South of Heaven" on Talking Metal, when they go into the verse and he ads the double kick, whoa!

[Cristian141182]

DREAM TEATHER NEDD RICHAR!!!!!

[Cristian141182]

NExt drummer of dream teather!!

[merocket]

Tim Sabean Cymbals. "These are the greatest cymbals on Earth."

[theplanet1985]

@merocket haha..nice.

[deepfocus888]

Haha, who's the one douche who hit the dislike button? Dildo.

[goldenarm009]

charred walls of the damned is an allusion to a tradio call

[sparty115]

mmmmmmmmmmm puuuuumkin-y

[mrpicky510]

You know, it's kinda weird to watch Christy, a guy who cracks me up almost on a daily basis on the Stern show, play drums in such a professional manner, I mean his talent is endless, he is such a likeable guy, obviously my faaaaavorite

[ImmortalSpammer]

@mrpicky510 why is it weird? didnt you know him before the howard stern show. this dude has been jamming for a long time with death, iced earth etc

[mrpicky510]

Beautiful kit Rich, you play it well

[coozbo]

Howard never gives Richard his due. He treats washed up rockers like they're Gods and he has no idea that Richard is such a great drummer. He even busts Richard's balls about CWOTD and song writing. I think Howie is jealous because he always wanted to be a rock star but for all the wrong reasons. Richard Rules!

[antonio610]

If he's still got the skills and creativity from The Sound of Perseverance, I would shit my pants if he joined Dream Theater.

[Pioter80]

@antonio610 I doubt it he would, in an interview he said once, that playing drums is fun for him, but not heavy touring, which DT does, he's a low profile drummer on a level of Bobby Jarzombek I'd say, but enjoys all sorts of stuff, not strictly making music and touring

[ms21209]

his pumpkin body scrub \m/

[stelslouise]

holy fuck! ethel mirtz can drum!!! lol

[wackovampire]

AWEEESOMMMEEEE..Way to go Richard \m/ \m/

[karmadrumer]

6,24...hahahahahahahaha lol!

[DiamondSoul]

Richard, you are the man, thanks for all the great music and comedy!

[LHondrums]

leave howard stern, join dream theater!

[signal44]

Dear Ethel,

Yooorr my faaaavrite drummer. I hope you teach your grandson how to play.

Best Regards,

Swap Shop

PS; FUCK HOWARD---mind playing ass face. On the last day of his contract this time......lets all hope for a confession by the STERN machine....

[zoobizzit]

07:49 he's not really of a blast-beat drummer.

[Hendriestern]

All this talent; spent on phony phone calls....

[MaximumAwesomeness]

God damnit I LOOOOOOOOOVE Sabians.

[bestiagris]

excelente, si no te inspira este tipo para tocar la bateria, no se quien puede hacerlo, grande richard

[SASR]

I bloody love Richard, probably the best metal drummer around.

[wacey2002]

holy shit ......... its ethel posing as a guy

[drumblaster666]

Hey people! Check this drummers:

Richard Christy --- Gavin Harrison --- Thomas Lang --- Charlie Zeleny

ONe of them will suceed Mike Portnoy!!! Registered!

[Flagburner13]

@drumblaster666 blake richardson and moe carlson should be added to the watch-for list. mindblowing stuff from really young dudes

[blanker666]

great !!!

[freakoutguitarsolo1]

They make sabian cymbals here whre i live in NB canada, you rock richad!!!

[DrPoon]

It's so weird hearing his ethel voice on howard then watching him go crazy on a set. this guy is fucking awesome.

[00heavymetalislife00]

richard should be a full time drummer again..... THE METAL SCENE NEEDS THIS BAD ASS DRUMMER

[madest]

Who gives a shit about your gear? Get on the phone with Sal and make some prank calls. And tell Howard fuck that 3 day a week shit... Fucking dude already makes too much money for working a part time job.. Lazy shithead.

[predathor696]

smaller set..thats what im talkin about ;)

[johnmunoz18]

jon rice is better

[eyeCme]

Halloween is my favourite. \m/

[XXtremeDrummer]

One of the best metal drummer in the world. You Rulez!

[panayiotis131]

As much as an AMAZING drummer he is, he does little to give some... artistry to his craft. I mean those army boots, the scaled-down kit. I don't know, Sean Reinert plays on a 5 or 6-piece kit and he's more into expression... not performance. Just an opinion though. Did anybody understand what I just wrote?

[Aheadstix85]

@panayiotis131 I understand, i much prefur Christy over Hoglan, so much more creative, and i dunno, Reinhartd is good.

[booksonrecord]

hahahahaha i love him!

[ChromeJHawk]

Hey Richard...this is yer Dad...I really like yer kit...ok...well...gotta go...see ya Bub...

[Clausfarre]

If I could choose a guy to hang out with he would be it. There should be a drum kit permanently placed in the studio at Sirius to let him play. And maybe throw in some other guys and play some Death classics.

[ryder187mac]

Army boots and ankle weights? Gene Hoglan much? :p

[ihatebobsaget1989]

drumming is the best sport. i have a black belt in drumming.

[ihatebobsaget1989]

damn i bet that's an expensive kit

[dangleesac102]

i have that exact same hat

[spikeri812]

rich is the coolest fuckin hillbilly mutha fucka!

[knockie58]

Thanks for Howard Stern, we would have never heard of this good drummer.

[kpripper2004]

@knockie58 Or you can just listen to Iced Earth when he was their drummer.

[mkzrt]

Thats p r e t t y sweeeet man

[JTVal27]

Great drumming, Richard.

Can you say "AMAZING" one more time?

[stlg]

damn bro, 10 lb ankle? that is like me putting 20 lb wrist? that's not gonna happen.  you are god!!!!

ppppoooosssseeeeeey.

[grummangoose]

Lookin good Richard! You lost a shitload of weight. Is that from drumming or pounding that hot fiance of yours?

[ihatebobsaget1989]

@grummangoose i noticed that too he looks a lot thinner 

[easyas314]

Rock on Dude!

Much success........

[MermanIShouldTurn2Be]

Mad skills from a mad man. Heeeeeeeyyyyy!

[Hodongji]

Funniest drummer ever!

[Goodz81]

Richard is my faaaavorrrrrite

[BittenMitten]

@Goodz81

richard you cant have more than one favorite.

[kmann23]

@Goodz81

yahhhhhhhhh

[GangreneVagina]

@Goodz81

Richard is my faaaaaavorrrrrrite. Sal is my faaaavorrrrrrite too! They're both my favvvvvorrrites.

[Mariusz0Industries]

What brand do you endorse for your puh-uhmkin beeeeeeer

[ar4216]

[jjmazee]
