Daniel Williams/The Devil Wears Prada/Warped Tour 2009

[Barkermenia]

which china does he use ?

[ThePlastino]

crash on the right has more thrash to it than the china?

[zamdude7]

@ThePlastino Yea I noticed that lol.

[Andrew070792]

@ThePlastino meinls...

[NewbieDrumming]

I love how hes such a reserved and quiet person, but behind the set hes a total psychopath

[eatmydadschode]

this dude sucks dick

[l3gitgirl]

i heard lights and dan williams dated , and she broke up with him because he hit her in the face with a tea kettle , is tht true?

[TheSteviebobevie]

i saw them play at the end of novemeber and he plays a loooot better and tighter now than he did in this vid. not hardly the same drummer. he figured it out.

[CrunchyTuesdayface]

this is sooooo bad i mean seriously this is crazy sloppy and the beat he plays is soo simple too. Matt Greiner is one trillion times better than this scrub......

[oneeye589]

@CrunchyTuesdayface And he still makes more money being a drummer than you do.

Sure it's sloppy at times, but everyone loves it, and that's all that matters. You don't need to be super sophisticated and technical to make it big. It's not like he's off beat or anything.

[Pancakes479]

103 people are deaf. XD

[Cretinhopping]

He has gotten better, he plays for a living now.

[ThePostalDudeist]

thats beyond ofplaying intense, thats just beating up your set to a rythm.

[KrE3Ed]

He deserves a bigger kit.

[drummerboy0311]

People say this guy is sloppy? You try playing EVERYDAY and playing this good still. I'd like to see you do better. Yeah, didn't think so.

[mrsynix]

@drummerboy0311 playing everyday makes you play shittier??? how does that make sense

[sleeperstack]

@drummerboy0311 Playing every day would make you a more solid drummer dumb-ass.

[gondormonky]

Man comparing this to the newer drum videos ive seen, he has gotten so much better. amazing drummer

[DrDavidColmenar]

It's amazing what people will jack off do these days.

[saige374]

whats the first song?

[chilichunk]

@saige374 Sassafras I think, not sure though

[lolokokogogo45]

@saige374 sassafras

[Talktothestranger]

@sleeperstack If you knew what you were talkin about you'd know he is just add-libbing drums because the rest of the song his triplets you say he cant do are perfect. So uhh quit bein jealous.

[sleeperstack]

@Talktothestranger I don't even see any other triplets in the song bro, I think YOU don't know what you're talking about.

[sleeperstack]

He's a good drummer, but his bass drum techniques is extremely sloppy, especially during the double bass parts. Extremely sloppy, I mean at 1:14 he's not even attempting to play the triplets on the bass drum the same way they are on the record. I'm just saying, you'd think the drummer that wrote the song and recorded it could play the parts he wrote.

[Matau96]

@sleeperstack look at him playing outnumbered or escape and you might poo yourself in awe

[IAmProbablyMike]

@sleeperstack he's got notably better live recently

[MrDethmask]

@sleeperstack "not even attempting to play the triplets on the bass drum the same way on the record..." if you played the same thing over and over and over for song quality and tightness, suggesting that you are a drummer, id like to think youd play different patterns live, than that of a recorded session. y'know to keep things new and fresh sounding? call me a jazzer, i enjoy improvisation.

[TheMoshyOne]

FUCK YEH! TDWP for life! Hardcore kicking ass drummer! Get in!

[ArizonaLocalBands]

Daniel Williams > Not Daniel Williams

[MrTdWpfan]

@MagusGod HAAAA! How would Beethoven slap us? He can't see us :p

[MagusGod]

People who listen to this kind of shitty music imagine themselves in some kind of preppy faggot fairy world where they just date any chic dependent on the way she dresses be she ugly or good looking. It has no emotion differentiating from that of a 14 year old angst dipshit who thinks he's tough because he listens to break downs.

Get some fucking taste. Beethoven would slap all of you.

[ThingsMoveInMyCloset]

@MagusGod I've read that at least seven separate times, and I have NO idea what you're talking about. Beethoven was deaf so more than likely he wouldn't notice or care, by the way.

And whatever scene chick broke your heart, borry bro, but it's not TDWP's fault.

[MagusGod]

@ThingsMoveInMyCloset I know he was deaf, you can still hear vibrations. Apparently, you don't know HOW he plays the piano either.

How do you not understand? I am making fun of your bad taste in music. :D

[hellangelzx]

@MagusGod I like how people like this dude come in saying people who like Prada have bad taste in music, but people like him ignore Pop Fans, fans of Blood On the Dance Floor, Black Veil Brides. Unless you're purposely being a shitty troll (seriously lrn2troll) then you should start trolling the right videos.

[ThingsMoveInMyCloset]

@MagusGod Music = sound. Sound = vibrations.

You are invalid now.

[MagusGod]

@ThingsMoveInMyCloset Alright, so by that logic, why don't you listen to Britney Spears?

[thecheetodude24]

@MagusGod lol what does beethoven have to do with prada? and btw.. do you like blood on the dance floor? they are a bunch of little faggots, and i think you would be a great addition

[MagusGod]

@thecheetodude24 Haha naw, there's just a bunch of shit on this account because some friends used it who were too lazy to make a fake account to seem over 18. And of course they are faggots, just like this band.

It's funny how you seemingly have a double-standard for faggotry. My assumption is that you somehow have deep heart felt feelings in your loins for this band. ;)

[thecheetodude24]

@MagusGod my point is, if you dont like this band, why would you waste your own time watching and commenting on this video, when you could of had something better to do. not such a smart decision to come here and hate on this band.

[MagusGod]

@thecheetodude24 To try and find someone who is intelligent and listens to this band, haven't found one yet. LOL.

When I do find this person, I want them to explain to me why this stupidity appeals to them.

[johnhimura1000]

@MagusGod lol beethoven is a genius. but his work and this band has different genre and should not be compared

[A7Xdrums014]

his double bass is pretty sloppy

[sk8ter3365]

there playing sassafras i can tell by the drumming in 1:07

[TheBuddahBurner]

wow you fuckin idiots hes playing hard and loud on purpose so the crowd can hear him cuz whats a metal concert without drums? you people who are talkin shit about him are mentally retarded

[CheoSamadSSI]

@TheBuddahBurner thats what mics are for and this is metalcore dumbass.

[TheBuddahBurner]

@CheoSamadSSI i see mics. and yeah i said metal. is metalcore not under the metal catagory? is this rap? or country? or jazz? no its metal.

[heckawesomefunnydude]

What's that second song he's playing?

[thedrumminmaniac]

@heckawesomefunnydude Reptar, King of the Ozone

[BandaDK]

what song is this?

[thedrumminmaniac]

@BandaDK which one?

[BandaDK]

@thedrumminmaniac the first one

[thedrumminmaniac]

@BandaDK Sassafras

[stephengomezz]

I dig Dan's little rat tail hes got going on.

[robertozycz1111]

this guy sucks

and I CAN DO WAY BATTER

[kkirstianTetra]

@robertozycz1111 not in your vocabulary and grammar skills you wont...

[lovejon2death]

@robertozycz1111 new record is killer. way harder to play than this one. and go suck a dick troll. 

[000bick]

@robertozycz1111 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahah u suck balls ur too funny kid just go home ur so gay

hahahahah

[ItsNotSafe2Swim]

I love watching him play. So sick

[AlexxRamos123]

search up Daniel Williams - The Devil Wears Prada - Born To Lose.

[Matau96]

hahaha his energy is slowly draining

[BRAden021]

Matt blows this guy out of the water.

[ShineDrumsTheWay2Go]

This is really sloppy.

[Imabeaner2126]

@ShineDrumsTheWay2Go Could you do any better? No. So shut the fuck up

[ShineDrumsTheWay2Go]

@Imabeaner2126 I never claimed I could, man. Just saying, Daniel is normally good, but this sucks.

[Justinkz3895]

whats the little intro song they play in the beginning? i cant recognize

[AntonioDavidPickett]

@EyelessSurfacing666 Oh, also Matt Greiner is 26 years old. Mr. Dave is 46 years old bud.

[AntonioDavidPickett]

@H4zM0n12 If I could like your comment a million times, I would.

[RJROCKZout23]

EVERY DRUMMER BRINGS SOMETHING TO THE KIT

MATT GREINER IS A BEAST

ADAM GRAY IS A BEAST

DANIEL WILLIAMS IS A BEAST

MATT NICHOLLS IS A BEAST

EVERY DRUMMER is unique remember that

[kingpin8393]

Dan has really cleaned up his playing in recent years, hes a lot better now than he was back in 09, stop shitting on the dude

[xXCaLloFdUtYaDdIkTXx]

Any one on hear saying he sucks, try covering ANY TDWP song. I guarantee that you will struggle with it at first. Take it from me someone who has been drumming for a couple months now, and I practice 1 hour a day and I still cannot play a lot of TDWP. Matt Greiner and Adam Gray are also two great drummers, but Daniel Williams definitely is on the same level as them.

[hbk1995]

@xXCaLloFdUtYaDdIkTXx na bro hes is not on the same level as greiner he is good but he isnt that good. and all these people hating is ridiculous this dude IS amazing. he really sounds good and those that think he sucks well somethings wrong with them

[LifeBeforeLast]

@xXCaLloFdUtYaDdIkTXx tdwp is easy on drums

[maddenplyr12]

all I am going to say to the people who are saying he sucks. listen to the entire dead throne album.

[DejanMalzarkov]

he is actually a drummer? cuz my friend who dont know nothing about music i better than him :)

[hellangelzx]

That's how a live drummer should fuckin drum right there

[GarrettMCobbs]

He doesn't suck at drums, if he did he wouldn't be in one of the best Christian metal bands. He's endorsed and touring around the world. What are you guys doing other than sitting behind your computers trolling?

[aragorn767]

Met him... actually met the whole band. :D

[iliketoscreamLOUD]

the worst metalcore drummer

[nsmetal27]

@iliketoscreamLOUD suck a dick

[iliketoscreamLOUD]

@nsmetal27 hahaha

[aragorn767]

@iliketoscreamLOUD This guy is great dude.

[iliketoscreamLOUD]

@aragorn767 i guess if you are into noob ass drumming. You can def tell hes sloppy. Thank god for good recording equipment or they would NEVER record and album.

[TheGreenSum48]

@iliketoscreamLOUD dude its differnt when ur playing live than when ur playing in a studio...hes getting into it and enjoying himself live, unlike the studio where u need to get everything as perfect as possible.

[sabianhhxevolution]

i can't believe how many people that are so close minded about the art of drumming and are oblivious to other genres of music are starting arguments. i would say well over half of you commenting/arguing need to widen your musical vocabulary, and understand that its rather useless to compare drummers of different genres. every drummer is unique in there own way. the only proper way to judge them is to classify them along the lines of beginner, amateur, intermediate, and professional.

[MrBenGarcia]

I love this band to death! And the drummer especially but he shouldn't sacrifice quality of drumming for presence :/

[thedrumminmaniac]

there's no such thing as cheating at drumming. and you just said yourself he's good. just wanted that. good day sir or ma'am. :)

[slingingofstars69]

i see nothing special here. all these bands sound the same. sorry

[orangebomb69]

anyone say adam grey yet??????? texas in july! common people!

[SergeantYurmom]

@orangebomb69 i hear you dude! adam is great, way better than that wannabe!

[stayXbrutal78]

this guy isnt even good at drums......sorry

Matt Greiner from ABR FTW

[thedrumminmaniac]

@stayXbrutal78 Which is completely backed up by the fact that he has endorsement deals, is signed, and is making a living at the drums but he isn't good.. >.<

[stayXbrutal78]

@thedrumminmaniac plenty of drummer have endorsement deals. He is good at drums but not someone I would drool over. He's rolls are weak and he cheats a lot when drumming. He is not technical at all.

But I still love tdwp

[b0vine]

this guy is so bad ahahaahah

[HaydnM35]

Daniel Williams and Matt Greiner.

[eatmydadschode]

this guy fuckin blows

[Sk8Shredtolive71]

@eatmydadschode LMFAO, that is a great joke

[tdwpvsabr]

i knew it was sassafras as soon as it started :)

[legofilms4fun]

Daniel Williams sucks as a drummer.

[TheWittyChappy]

He is just destroying that ride cymbal.

[niqitoa7x]

song ?

[DrummerDanLionMan]

His kit sounds so fucking lush!! It is Truth after all :D

[mazsizjee]

i dont like the style how he playing...

[st00pidp0ckets]

Whats the first song they play

[taylorcassell7]

@st00pidp0ckets Sassafras

[pkstaytrue]

I don't wanna say that he would be bad (he's still better than me), but the only real "hard part" seems to me is the double bass. The overhead seems pretty easy imo.

Still he's really an amazing drummer, and it sounds amazing!

[st00pidp0ckets]

@pkstaytrue The drum fills are actually really impressive and the double bass patterns are really simple. His fills are really impressive, but thats the only real hard part

[darkwisher831]

quit talking shit you think playing drum is easy

[1111ccccgggg]

He's not that good.

[Deardeceiverband]

@1111ccccgggg look at him now then, he's 359023i5 times better

[MrReedro1]

@chikkidrummer yea it does but hes endorsed by meinl and thats the only bell they have, and theres also a video if him playing the meinl bell for my cymbal.com

[MrReedro1]

Is he using the meinl classics high bell?

[chikidrummer]

@MrReedro1 it sounds like zilbel 6"

[nickthedrummerfreek]

its a freaking drummer. why so much shit talkin? all of you guys arguing need to grow a pair and shut up! seriously.

[zachariahm10]

i feel sorry for mormons

[EyelessSurfacing666]

People Who drum like these need to fuck off and do somthing else. Im Sick of you Retard ass scremo drummers fucking saying your so good at the drums and THIS is what you think amazing is. Go buy a Metronome and look up real good Drummers Like Dave Lambaro and others who Can Play heavy Shit and Still Drum to Different shit. So Screamo fags Fuck off.

[OnlyKurial]

@EyelessSurfacing666 Sorry, not all musicians play by the book. If you listen to technical drumming or whatever "real" shit, that's cool but we don't, not everybody likes the music you listen to.

[H4zM0n12]

@EyelessSurfacing666 Ever heard of Matt Greiner? The drummer for August Burns Red. He's a "retard ass screamo*" drummer and he kicks the shit out of Dave Lombardo.

[saiAhikaru]

@H4zM0n12 As much as I like abr Dave Lombardo is on a whole different level compared to Matt Greiner... He's one of the best drummers in metal.. You're ignorant

[sebastianjwalker]

@saiAhikaru Matt Greiner is a million times better than Dave Lombardo rofl. Dave Lombardo is crap

[DerekBlaskieDrums]

@saiAhikaru O.o dave better then matt?? SERIOUSLY?? i like TDWP as a band more the ABR (barely i might ad) and i still think matt is leagues ahead of dave.. but Dave lombardo is still amazing

[drumsallout]

@H4zM0n12 Ever heard of Blake Richardson? He owns both of those guys!! Ever heard of Dave Weckl, probably the best drummer alive right now

[Calbenmike]

@drumsallout Unless Dave Weckl is a nickname for Matt Greiner, your statement is erroneous.

[drumsallout]

@Calbenmike You honestly think that Matt Greiner is better than Dave Weckel, what a shame.

[Calbenmike]

@drumsallout A shame? Surely you jest.

[Calbenmike]

@drumsallout Impressive, but his style is different than that of a metal drummer. I like Greiner's style better. Greiner uses his china better, his pedals better.  Weckl is excellent however.

Check out Carter Beauford.

[Calbenmike]

@drumsallout youtube.com/watch?v=C-3vettoD6­g&feature=feedf

[drumsallout]

@Calbenmike Everyone in the drumming community would disagree with you. No point in me trying to change your mind

[abrfan22]

@drumsallout go watch matt griener and adam gray... then youll know what drumming is

[xBickox]

@abrfan22 daniel is a great drummer bro...matt and adam are too soft for this guy ;) but they are better...heard of mark mironov ? check him out...i think that no one even can cover his songs

[MrJojosmalls]

@xBickox i have seen youtube ppl who can cover All That Remains which is about the same level of difficulty

[xBickox]

@MrJojosmalls idk mark is heavy as shit...rly hard to understand when does he hit or what...and he's fast :D

[b0vine]

@H4zM0n12 so wrong this proves you have absolutely no idea what youre talking about

[zeesupahgerman]

@H4zM0n12 I'd like to see him try.

[sabianhhxevolution]

@H4zM0n12 people like you are so ignorant. you can't compare drummers of two different genres. matt greener would dominate dave lombardo in the genre he is dominant in, and lombardo would dominate matt in the genre he plays most often. you can't really say that one drummer kicks the shit out of another drummer. each drummer has the own individual style and play capabilities, therefore you can't really compare one musician to another. do yourself a favor and widen you musical vocabulary.

[st00pidp0ckets]

@EyelessSurfacing666 You clearly don't drum yourself. There's no denying that what Daniel Williams is playing in this video is easy as hell, but drums aren't always about shredding, it's about finding what fits the rest of the song, and this style fits the screamo genre very nicely. Nirvana had really simple drums but if you try to tell me Dave Grohl wasn't a good drummer I would have to kill you, he could shred better than anyone else when he wanted to

[EyelessSurfacing666]

@st00pidp0ckets

Yeah no Shit Grohl is amazing And Your right this isn't hard at all but people make it seem like its so freaking hard its not. And I've been playing drums for almost 3 years now on a Real Kit and At least 5 or So on Just Snare drum.

[BandaDK]

@EyelessSurfacing666 I kinda have to agree with you on that.

[krazzyzero]

@beatboxerwillis40 Reptar King Of The Ozone



[poopsexify]

lol...im pretty sure that the whole band got better when the Zombie EP came out. :D and hes not a terrible drummer, guys. it takes alot of hard work, talent and balls to get out there and do what hes doing. opinions are like buttholes. everyone has them, and they all stink. So just try to be a little nicer, and not so quick to judge. :)

[beatboxerWillis40]

whats the second song?

[whoflipppincares]

To everyone hating on him. He is a very successful band im pretty sure he doesn't give a fuck if you guys like his drum skills or not. Go back to your garage band bitches.

[roxypie17]

Pfft, fuck all the hate comments!! Daniel Williams is fucking beast! Nuff said!

[Diegochsmile]

@SergeantYurmom Yeah Fuck You !

[halloweennight1986]

worse playing i 've ever seen/heard!!!!!

[jedimasterviewtifjoe]

Does mike have on jordans? lol

[Drums4Tanner]

can someone tell me what he hits in the the fill at 0:19 and 0:51 please

[bulletsk8r]

@Drums4Tanner he a kick fill. its basically a skip then a snare roll, then skip tom roll

[cjm311]

Go watch one of Matt Greiner's videos. Then again... Watching a monkey crash around like a drunk toddler is pretty entertaining to.

[Tiddilion]

@cjm311 Go fuck yourself.

[sk8trdude85]

@cjm311 LOL !!!! Your comment made my entire day

[falloutassassin12]

i would fuck daniel in the asshole... jk... i would let him fuck me in the asshole

[bayislove]

Shit drummer....my god, this is insulting to drummers.

[eli4s1231]

@bayislove are you being serious dude??

[thecheetodude24]

@bayislove You think this guys sucks? Your insulting, to humans.

[obrijo557]

ahah wow he is so terrible

[Exessis]

Does he even hit the toms?? Daniel Williams <3 you sick bastard

[72sewnshut]

He beats the shit out of his kit like it owes him money hahahaha one of my favorite drummers.

[yngguitar1]

i don't even think that's considered drumming. Total waste of a kit :/

[Sam10830]

@yngguitar1 how ? aha

[shredthendofasoul]

@Sam10830 just type in "Mat Halpern" and you'll understand...or maybe not. There is no feeling....no color. i respect what TDWP has done but there is so much more that can be done with such a tiny kit.

[Sam10830]

@shredthendofasoul true lol

[eli4s1231]

@yngguitar1 are you being serious dude......

[cokerockstop2]

HOLY SHIT IF YOU PEOPLE WANNA HAVE FULL ON CONVERSATIONS MESSAGE EACH OTHER . . NON OF US CARE OR WANNA SEE IT. .

[BlakeLovesdrums]

Is it just me or did he get 1000 times better when the zombie EP came out.

[StabbyFork]

@BlakeLovesdrums  EXACTLY

[drumsishot]

@BlakeLovesdrums If by better you mean the consistency and speed of his recorded bass playing got better, then yes.

[dynastyion]

@BlakeLovesdrums Sounds like his fills got cleaner

[5ke14nim441]

Y is it that alot of the drummers in metalcore have only a 4 piece set????

[sickdrummerzz1996]

@5ke14nim441 easier to lug around. More comfortable i guess i like using a 4-piece.
