Blake Richardson drumming Specular Reflection [DVD]

[DoesNotApply]

I've been following BTBAM since 2002 btw

[DoesNotApply]

Seriously about time this guy got some props. He wasn't that great in Glass Casket but when he joined BTBAM he found himself I think. Alaska was amazing in itself and each album he gets exponentially better.

[BrandenburgStudios]

This is like The Dance of Eternity difficulty X2.. O.o damn that was clean. The dislike bar is as big as Mike Portnoy's fanbase after he left Dream Theater. Oh, There is none.

[DoomiePookie]

I cant believe how clean he plays. So fluent with zero fuck ups. One of the best drummers going around right now IMO.

[darkmatter8]

My heart will be broken if I find out that the snare is sampled

[goutymaygis]

What is he exactly?!



[birdtron3030]

I can always count on Blake to inspire me to keep playing... and quit altogether, both at the same time.

[MattPlaysDrums187]

thank you for posting this!

[uptheWessums]

keep the long hair

[blrsycth]

y the fuck do they keep panning the camera on his snare at the hardest parts... honestly that pissed me off -_-

[perfecteye18]

Hahah the cowbell..



[felixj401]

He's so dreamy

[necroaeon]

Blake Richardson IS technical death metal

[Vostoksounds]

@necroaeon Not really DM, plenty better tech DM drummers.

[HYX94]

increible! buen sonido! grandioso!

[Trgamemas]

:/

*puts drum sticks down*

[zshanley1028]

lovin the kit! blake richardson is the shit :D

[Danelawz]

HOW HAVE I FUCKING MISSED THIS? :'( On the internet for over 2 months, this is a dream come true.

[kspec00]

was i the only one who sang the lyrics and was actually in sync with the song? :D

[greenwake69]

@kspec00 no

[iankehayes]

@kspec00 no, definitely not.

[Sublime692]

blake is still my fucking idol

[IAmMattLewis]

So sick.

[Ch1ckenKatsu]

too amazing!

[mitchmoberly1]

i should of bought this when i had the chance, but i'll never get another one.

[JOEtheHOE28]

is there anything else on this DVD?

[BuyMeAKoala]

@JOEtheHOE28 Nah it's just him covering the whole ep, thats the whole dvd. but purty sick anyways

[ShaunStruwig]

You are my hero.

[mjrupps]

69th commment.

[dres555]

This is what we call a Blake.

[krp480]

OMG I love 1:25 lol

[NegaArson]

Thanks so much for the video.

[NoEasyFeet]

he looks almost too much like danny carey with them jesus locks

[jutter84]

He looks like Jesus... mmm dreamy

[Mordecai36]

Amazing in every way! But why would they take the time to create such a high quality dvd only to sell it on one tour...... oh yeah, because they knew it would be uploaded here on youtube.... totally not a premeditated comment, just realized that. Perfect!

[JustinPayton]

Perfection in drumming. No crazy double bass or blast beats, just smooth. While double bass and blast beats adds to certain parts of music, it wasn't needed here.

[TheRevProdigy777]

@JustinPayton he blasts in the first 5mins

[JustinPayton]

@TheRevProdigy777 True. But it's not overpowering to the music, and it doesn't go on for a minute. It adds a nice texture to it.

[TheRevProdigy777]

@JustinPayton hmm good point

[000MidnightSun]

blake richardson has become one of my favorite drummers. he absolutely kills it on The Parallax. needless to say, seeing BTBAM on tour this past year was wonderful.

[intellidjent]

You might want to take this down soon. I had it up for a while on my channel, and I got a bunch of copyright notices and personal messages from Blake.

[TheDrunkwraith]

@intellidjent That seems very odd seeing as they obviously don't intend to make any real money off of this dvd if they only sold it on one tour.

[intellidjent]

@TheDrunkwraith

copyright concern

You have uploaded material that is under copyright with Metal Blade Records. Please delete this video asap. Thank you for your cooperation.

[TheDrunkwraith]

@intellidjent I don't doubt it at all, but it just seems like they must be planning to sell more copies on future tours or release to the general public if they're acting like its that important.

[intellidjent]

@TheDrunkwraith They only sold 250 on the Saints and Sinners tour. Blake announced he wouldn't sell them anywhere else.

[TheDrunkwraith]

@intellidjent Well I don't know wtf his problem is then. If he had future plans with this dvd it'd be fine and I would support him, but sending out threats because someone posted a video that probably made you lose more money than you gained just sounds retarded.

[InhumanAfflicti0n]

blake is.....

OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[The2012videos]

I love the symmetry of 1:27.

[The2012videos]

@The2012videos and 6:00 as well :L

[5v3n77]

their music is just so complex. stunning

[adrianxinx210]

DAMN O.O Sabian makes ride bells that double as a cowbell???? I'm switching!

[stormblast973]

@adrianxinx210

I GOT A FEVER!!!

[HiPPoKryPtiC]

@stormblast973 and the only prescription..is more BTBAM

[stormblast973]

@HiPPoKryPtiC Fucking A Right!!!!

[sicboi80]

I CONTORT LIKE THE WHEELS IN MY HEAD!!

[cjdrums17]

Can't stop watching this. Blake has really got his stuff down. Also, for a right-handed drummer I think he leads with his left hand flawlessly. He's obviously made a point of practicing that.

[vgamedude12]

Makes me want to stop drumming lol, Blake's playing just seems so unreachable and impossible ha. I am but a simple beginner though. Hopefully in time ill become better.

[keybladeguy776]

While most human beings can only use roughly 10% of their brain power, Blake can use the other 90% to stay completely focused on the intricate drumming while telepathically producing cowbell noises at 6:47.

[jbtbamjjj]

Blake sounds as good as he looks. He's my favorite drummer by the way

[MrPicc0lo]

Don't get me wrong, Tommy's vocals are sick, but I wouldn't mind if BtBam was instrumental.

[Nubnut]

@MrPicc0lo I agree, it's actually kinda sad. I've always had mixed feelings about Tommy's growls (I'm more of an Akerfeldt growl kinda guy personally) but he has an utterly amazing and unique clean singing voice that I wish he'd use more often.

[doctorjaypee]

even tho its instrumental...i can still hear tommy's vocals in my head going with the music

[noloafing1]

dude...the pop of his snare is just so illuminating.

[MrPicc0lo]

Is that a holy china? My mind is blown dudes



[06livefast]

now do lunar weilderness ;)

[iConz08]

I bought the DVD at their show in Chicago, totally worth it.

[wesruleswow]

@dabro15 the DVD was mastered in SD so HD not possible....480p at best...just saving you a headache bro

[SancLunatic]

He needs to keep the mane. He is twice the badass with it.

[30aenima986]

Such a good drummer, so versatile

[brandonbear1]

sweetjesus.jpg

[adam9nsb]

@dabro15 your the man

[autodidact19]

lol 7:26 looks like fun

[p00000000k]

That time-sig gave me dyslexia

[karrbomb]

his cymbal parts accent songs perfectly like no other drummer imo

[0waggoner]

@dabro15 just curious.. why would you upload these? your doing blake and BTBAM an injustice of sorts.

[Jaxonbass]

@0waggoner It's only because the dvd itself is a limited release and can only be bought on tour, so the vast majority of BTBAM fans would never get to see it otherwise.

[freakinsweet830]

@0waggoner the dvds were limited to only 250 copies, most if not all were purchased on their recent tour, so they aren't missing out on profits =)

[BombproofAutumn]

What's this DVD called?

[DjentleGiant]

I've got the weirdest boner right now

[AliothSenator]

This is what we call a brain.

[ffsrock]

Is it just me or does every metal drummer i see use Iron/Speed Cobras. Lol. I want some now.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Easily one of the most solid metal drummers out there today.

[MrIPunchHard]

@dabro15 Is the DVD only him playing the songs or is there additional footage?

[A7XITHEIREV]

Hh rock ride and an hh splash

[CRMTOOL]

Best christmas present ever!!

[jabaacuatic]

Which ride and splash does he use?!? Love them!

[Rockband2stream]

@jabaacuatic Sabian HH Raw Bell Dry Ride 21", Sabian HH Duo Splash 10"

[jabaacuatic]

@Rockband2stream Thank You so Much!! Gonna buy them right now!

[protorobsmos]

Hey dude are you naturally left handed?

[PASTAandMUSE]

I've got this dvd...was going to upload all the performances today,but seeing as you've got that covered,i have no need.

It's a great dvd,a little expensive considering its only 25 minutes of playing,and its 25 dollars,but whatever....BTBAM FTW!

[Erick298]

@PASTAandMUSE I think you should beat him to it. i want to see the rest.

[cercster123]

Upload the rest oh my god :O!

[Metalteo]

@Erick298 You can only buy it on BTBAM's current tour. They may sell any leftover copies online.

[Erick298]

@dabro15 I want to buy this DVD, but I can't find it anywhere. Can you let us know what the DVD is called. Was it extra content on the EP?

[xijalx]

shit, he made it simple..... but its hard to play simple... 

[bradkline001]

@dabro15 dude... if you upload the entire DVD in HD, you'll be my hero. Seriously.

[JakobM83]

This is awesome, any chance you could upload the rest?

[bradkline001]

oh my god. dude... you fuckin' rule for uploading this. :D

[LastAnswerOfficial]

thanks man!!! this awesome!!!

[meddlelol]

i hope you're uploading the rest from the dvd!

[chisox91]

[2strokeroll]

[iAutodidact]
