Technology - at The Sound Of Animals Fighting -Anaheim

[ccaaaiiooo]

I would pay a thousand bucks to a HD video of this

[ljkhdflkjhdflkjd]

can anyone please tell me the name of his album please? i probably sound like an idiot

[ros585]

@ljkhdflkjhdflkjd technology

[ljkhdflkjhdflkjd]

@ros585 yeah thanks i found it. theres just a lot of stuff named technology and the stuff on his myspace was different and i was just confused. thanks though

[PeepBox]

haha neil purt who?

[PentucketXC05]

@PeepBox Yeah I only know a guy named Neil Peart :P

[ccaaaiiooo]

man I would pay a fortune for a better quality video

[threkbear]

anyone know what snare he is using? it sounds wonderful

[KozaTrevopasna]

I was hopeing too see animals killing each other :D ;)

[Kunich8653]

wait why are their dislike to this? what is their not to like?

[blackpleg28]

Are they still playing every once in a while?

[hackskillz1]

@blackpleg28 doubt it. I saw Matt Embree and Chris Tsgakis playing some TSOAF songs in "Biceratops" shows(on youtube).

[Yeahhhh444]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck youtube made it impossible to skip advertisements by clicking refresh! C-Gak is in the top 10 drummers of our age...Hell of all time. He's number 1 in my eyes.

[razorramon310]

ummmmmmm ... pretty beast...

[LGfreak555]

If you like this, than check out THE SOUND ARCHIVES!

[HippieChic1970]

Intense.

[usurper11]

I wish i could hear the synth part.. ha.

[Ceeef5]

If this guy is average you all must suck really bad..

[andrew12398]

10:36-10:50 Polyrhythms galore

[ohnolance]

I was at this show. Hands down amazing

[CaraAsoleada]

wtf...4 people dont like this. 4 drunk retards. (=

[hugewolf666]

Such a smooth style of playing. Top Notch.

[B1GSHO3SBOLIVIA]

in my opinion he is one of the most talented and creative drummers out there today. its not enough just to be good, when you have the mind that he does and the creativity he does i feel that it's enough to say hes one of the best out there. in alot of bands these says the drummer doesnt stick out, they sort of blend into the backround. but chris makes you notice him because hes more than a drummer, hes a musical mastermind

[linkin233]

@B1GSHO3SBOLIVIA It also helps to have your kit front and centre stage lol

[blondeguy718]

Any idea where I could download this masterpiece?

[gutshotnutt]

C-Gak = skills (not)sorry to all and any haters.

[gutshotnutt]

Impossible to watch this for 13 minutes... I mean seriously, who rounds up .06 sec. ??? Seriously. "Waiting for Anthony to come out" LMAO you must waste a great deal of your times.

[bananab0wls]

i sat here for 13 minutes waiting for anthony to come out....but nothing...waste of my time

[arsia00alex]

@bananab0wls ignorance is not bliss in this case.

[dirt0jumping]

this just inspires me to drum

[Mrbigboygay]

Okay Ive always listend to the Rx Bandits but never TSOAF and im blown away by this it's so badass such skill!!

[catsorpiebald]

my favorite drummer hands down... he's the man

[kalelvondoom]

does anyone know if hes using a plain ride? or a crash/ ride?

[skakid2360]

I dont know if its any different in this video, but Chris uses a Sabian HHX Ride, and usually a Sabian AAX crash. Idk what kinda hats he uses, they dont normally have any markings on them.

[branthehun]

he has two rides i think ride crash nd a 20 inch ride

[TravisArnold99z28]

looks like a 22" ride

[chipster15]

ok im a bass player [dont boo me haha] and i tried drumming and all i can say is that it gets tiring especially the kick so OMG. He is THE man!

[bigscaryboat]

i cant help but say that kj sawka has better touch.

[Double0Panda]

13 minutes of pure bliss.

[kremster22]

I'm so jealous of anyone who lives near him in CA and gets to see the Technology shows. I'm pretty sure he will never do one on the east coast, but if he ever does, I will be there by any means necessary. I'm not going to say he's the best drummer in the world, he's not. But Chris has an amazing style and flow, that, combined with his knowledge of dynamics and accentuation, truly set him apart as something special. His work on Ocean and the Sun is some of my favorite, as well as Mandala. Amazing

[skorthase]

@kremster22 omg I know, dude his drumming on their newest album makes me go insane all the time.

[UmbrellaSkies5]

@kremster22 Yeah man, Mandala was the best. Awesome comment. I like how you actually had somthing meanigful and articulate to sayl.

[keeptalking3412]

@kremster22 i live in cali... (:<

[LetTheBikesOut]

i seriously listen to this shit at least once a day. ha.

[brinks31590]

its easy to see why he's the Lynx in TSOAF, just by the way he slinks around behind the set when he plays. its so fluid and graceful. he's easily my fav drummer as far as style goes.

[dirt0jumping]

@brinks31590 agreed, just watch his head at some parts it reminds me of a lynx

[thebenjaminkeller]

Check out Andrew Forsman!

[saztradamus]

i have this exact video in mp3 format, if you guys want it.

idk how to share it tho

[NoiSeStatioN]

please do it

use rapidshare or mediafire to upload it

[saztradamus]

did you get it?

[kremster22]

just get his cd, this track is called "Phantom(1337)" and thats a pretty appropriate title, because he's leet at shit.

[TheDrumked]

One of the most versatile drum solo i've seen.

Im really interested in playing this song, but i just can't find it on the internet!

PLEASE if someone has a link to a torrent or dl for this song help me out;D

seriusly ive been searching in google for phantoms (1337) and there is nothing ;S

Thx

[xxonewingedangxl]

you're not going to find a torrent for this song anywhere, this is probably the only place you can hear it

[conardenator]

Trying asking around on the RxB message board. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has it.

[deja0entendu]

Try searching Technology. That's his artist name.

Song is called "Phantoms (1337)"

It's off his self-titled album. You wont find it online, but you can try. If not, yea try the RX Bandits forum

[ZeRoO4478]

thats truth, amazing artist !!

[Penguin262]

dang, this dude really knows how to choose his notes carefully. he can actually CONTROL the eergy and mood with his playing... a true artist

[jalenwantsrevenge]

Oh jeez dude what the fuck your amazing!

[JaredCoffin210]

deff one of the best modern drummers

[rocktheflare]

dude, i saw this live and it was tight as shit, honestly u really thought this was boring??

[ivoryline13]

I just came

[keepbeattapfeet]

anyone see his cowbell arrangement? (check 10:28ish). It looks like its mounted on a tom leg thats stuck into half a cymbal stand, with a drumstick stuck in to keep it from rotating maybe? if so thats pretty awesome~ wish i went with that instead of buying a bass drum hoop attachment for it hah. give credit where its due, he is an talented drummer/musician, def knows how to feel the music. thanks to whoever posted this..

[Wakapauly]

This drummer transcends musical genres. Jam/Rock/Ska/Punk/Reggae......­no labels could do this justice. He's seriously gettin' after it!

[darkcloud004]

can someone give me the song hes playing??

[jvee5]

yeah i cant find it on itunes or napster or anything. i think he just played this for the concert.

[applefrltter]

it's called "shooting stars" the cd is released. go look on his myspace.

[QuestKonstantine]

Nah, Shooting Stars is the 1st vid that shows up on my YouTube. This is called "Phantoms (1337)" It's the 7th song on his latest album.

[xironmaidenx]

so much talent.. easily one of the best drummers of this generation

[daveassthelameass]

definitely agree, he's so ridiculously under-rated. his work on the ocean and the sun was absolutely incredible..

[mapex082688]

this guys got mad chops

[JaredCoffin210]

wow he owns

[grindthedrum666]

great drummer ...don`t like this solo that much but omg he`s got skills and rips it up in songs

[p4ok4kiG4]

im proud that this drummer is greek!!!!:DDDDD

[leosforlife]

rich balling..was in english teacher last year

[JKillaii]

def my favorite drummer.

[makeupbytiffany]

Hes kicks ass, hes my cousin and i've seen him grow as a drummer from the RXB's first shows to now, self tougt artist. Anyone whos not seen him live, its pretty amazing.

[wanakosc]

everyone says hes not good or hes average. who else can create something as creative and relatively simple like this that lasts like 12 minutes long? he may not be the best but he gets downnnnnn in this vid and if ur an rx bandits fan or have seen them live u know hes the shit.

[RenegadeDoctor]

someone said he is average?!?!?! holy shit I didn't read through all the comments but that is just a down right lie, you can't deny he is above average, like you said not the best but he gets down like mad.

[tomwootton350]

amazing, c-gak is on fire!

[donnieanks]

brandon7011 -

buy rxb's set from bonnaroo 2007 on itunes and you'll see cgak is nowhere near close to "average." he'll rip most drummers that are independent today. His timing is ridiculous.

[joerufo1]

im talkin about his role in rx bandits by the way

[joerufo1]

to styrofoam plates...this is his solo project so its like all his shit...and to everyone sayin he's average ur all dead wrong, he's probably one of the most creative drummer's out there and his chops are a lot more solid than most drummers, drumming isn't just makin up cool solo's and doing impossible shit, i honestly think being able to write complicated shit is a lot more difficult than just having fast hands and doing crazy fills that no one else can do

[brandon7011]

yeah he's average, he doesn't even play with alot of feeling or dynamics, he can keep alright time though.

[myrdap]

wait what is the big deal? I play the drums myself and i can honestly say that there is nothing that complicated or hard about what he does. The only thing he has going for him is his song composition. Dont get me wrong he doesnt suck he just isnt that amazing. He is pretty avarage.

[AddictedToFunAndMeth]

I'd say he's above average, but I agree that he doesn't play the most difficult stuff on earth. Just the best music on it.

[BahamutXXV]

Making soemthing simple into something beautiful: that's the process of art, and that's what Tsagakis does every time he gets behind his set, I'd say.

Opinion? Maybe, but nothing rings truer in my mind.

[AddictedToFunAndMeth]

In the words of the immortal Robert Bresson, "Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen. That is what Chris does, and RX Bandits, and almost every band they're involved with, really. True artists.

[BahamutXXV]

Addicted, couldn never even try to say it better myself =)

[eskimojames7]

amazing, chris' playing is so interesting. It's like water, always moving and just following it's own current.

who else thinks it would be awesome to hear some steve choi instrumental music?

[StyrofoamPlatess]

where is the background music from? and what is it called!!

[R00mONFIR3]

the backround music is from Chris's solo project called "Technology" and the song is called "Phantoms(1337)"

[MJ62992]

He gets down in this video

[awesomemagician]

i make this guy play piccolo in my band.

[phillylele]

every member of the rxb crew is amazing

they have sooo much talent its unreal

[quarentine99]

this is so fucking G

[chubaluba]

i got chills like crazy.

i thought the origional song was amazing, the video is 10 times better.

this guy is absolute creative genius.

[gamemaster960]

One of the better drum solos that I have ever seen

[xXximkoolxXx]

Amazing, From 7:50 too 8:16 is insane.

[musicmattersmost]

I couldn't watch the whole thing. I got bored after the first few minutes. There's nothing wrong with featuring the drummer but for 13 minutes? Really?

[CrazyLegs911]

If Jon Bonham gets a 20+ minute solo, Chris Tsagakis should get at least 30 minutes. 13 minutes is not nearly enough.

[thebeastishungry]

it's not even a drum solo, he just playing some of his solo music... if ya get what i mean...

it's just a long ass song is all...

[nicklasnorling]

you are fucked up.

[hotbutterednick]

This dude is a monster talent. Nothing wrong if you can't appreciate it; just means you don't know dick about music.

[musicmattersmost]

I've forgotten more about music than you've ever known in your life.

[rxrules]

dude u dont apreciate his skill, talent or amazingness

go die

u piece of shit

[feferoxx]

:D

hahahaha

dude u dont apreciate his skill, talent or amazingness

go die

u piece of shit[2]

[oliver159]

he's not as good as Travis Barker!

[CrazyLegs911]

You're a complete moron.

[oliver159]

lol i was waiting for someone to comment me back on that, everyone who saw this video and did not comment on my lies is a falier.

[AddictedToFunAndMeth]

Failure.

[garymags]

Unreal!

[phillylele]

best drummer ever!!!!

[xXximkoolxXx]

From this video he seems very similar to dave turncrantz' style of drumming.

[vivaecuad0r]

is there a studio version of this song?

[vivaecuad0r]

O_O

My god what a master peice

[blindsniper90]

psssst they wouldnt release the actual song "1337" on the tsoaf albums... its his own project, technology!.... badass drummer!

[elitetricker383]

i love u!!!!

absolute legend!!!

[theredchords]

chris should get all the praise travis barker gets because he's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better

[GrahfAreI]

Lol, Travis Barker isn't a good drummer.

[myownworstnme]

ROFL travis IS a good drummer, so is chris, they both excell in different ways, different styles. Saying travis isnt good is just stupid

[blindedbullet]

well honestly i think that thats the whole point of the comment, i dunno its just the way i look at it i think he/she is saying chris should get travis' fame

[GyahYoureGay]

I think Travis isn't too bad, it's just the music he normally drums for kinda gets gay after time.

This guy has a better outlet for his drumming ability...

mutha fugga.

[nicklasnorling]

best drummer ever

[druidlife]

chris's dad mike is a good friend of my dad chris is a excellent drummer

[Classicre]

Wow.. I love this song. Some of their songs are pretty strange, I agree, but that's what makes them.

[iloveirishmen]

my boyfriend jus told me about this band. they are awesome..

[RenegadeDoctor]

okay I am pretty sure this is on CD already, and no it won't be on the tiger and the duke re-release as far as I know, if you want Chris' cd you can go to his website and order it Tsgakisart dot com, hope I spelled that right, and if I wrote it wrong, go to his myspace which is in the top friends list of RXB so that answers the questions on where to get it on cd.... and for the record, this is epic.

[toastypierre]

This band is so strange...

But pretty much everything they do is amazing.

[fallaiaboy]

wowowee

[negroroger]

um polvo!

[nameaboutname]

CARALHO!!!!!!!!!!

MUITO FODA!

[makeshiftbrad]

such a good drummer

[rocktheflare]

i dont know why they didnt put this on the dvd

[rocktheflare]

yea this was sooo bad live. i dont know how he can play for so long without a break, he did the rest of the show right after this

[Igotthatfiya]

My new FUKIN HERO!!!!

[Disposablehero9]

it's not on a cd yet, it will be on the re-release of Tiger & the Duke

[ford123]

the timing is perfect.

[musicismylif3]

FLAWLESS i may add!!!

[LORDCASTLE]

i have all his cds, the technology solo stuff, prety good, its better live though.

[potofgravy]

What cd is this on?

[potofgravy]

Is this from any of the TSOAF albums?

[el0quentpilgrim]

wow wow wow

he's the most amazing drummer.

hands down.

wow, i wish i could have seen this in person

[dkofihh]

wow.

[boomCHIKAblahh]

he inspires me <3

[MurderShowzen]

sheeit hes my new drum idol

[fatTony980]

the fact that a drummer can keep my attention for 13 minutes straight says it all.

[bludeco]

Damn good video! It's insane!

[milkman0227]

simply amazing. i cant get enough of this video.

[ultragabe]

he's so raw. damn. Check out DESA's new cd. He layed down all the drum tracks for that one.

[trintaudon]

gak needs more credit

[Dani82000]

Oh man, Chris is such an amazing drummer. I can't believe how he can drum for so long, and it was just so damn amazing....

[nate3951]

amazing hat work there. you can really see his genre of music in this solo.

[KarenInth]

holy shit that was great.

[fabslover143]

fuckin amazing!

[joshsimpson]

wow that shit was bonkers!

[ershi18]

TEACH ME!!!

[refusedtv]
