'Andols Herrick' Playing "No Reason To Live" Drum Solo

[noobslayer95]

As much as I hate to be "that guy"..

Notice how this video has no dislikes

[graacherstrasse]

He is a machine... AWESOME !!!

[tapeboi321]

this guy is a fucking beast.

[tomtom777otz]

Damn, I had the same reaction as the guys in the studio: Mind = Blown.

Andols rules.

[sebbimon]

Andols is one hell of a good drummer, fast, solid, and very creative!

[elarki]

very creative

[canipplecorpse]

this band fell apart at the infection... They cancelled their uk tour claiming that someone was "ill" but actually everyone was pissed off with mark...

[kohoko]

@canipplecorpse I'm pissed that Andols leaves....again. I fucking love this drummer and he will be miss. It pisses me off too that Chris left, he was awesome in aking their songs better. :(

[canipplecorpse]

@kohoko Don't forget jim! He was the funniest out of them all and now he's been replaced by some retard ;'(

[kohoko]

@canipplecorpse I like Jim but I don't know I wasn't that dissapointed. I have the feeling he was as serious and mature as the band and that's maybe the reason he or the kick him out. But after Andols and Chris I'm starting to wondering wha the fuck is going on.

[canipplecorpse]

@kohoko Well a while ago I added Jim on facebook. He adds everyone, he is a very cool guy. But when Chris and Andols left and everyone was arguing about it on Jims status, somebody said "On a scale of 1 to 10, how painful is it working with Mark Hunter?" And Jim eloquently replied "100!!" So, yeah... That's who I blame this all on.

[kohoko]

@canipplecorpse Oh well. XD Maybe he is too perfectionist or harsh on what they should do or not do during recording/writing. I wouldn't be surprise if it's something like that because we know that Chimaira's albums are always well done.

[canipplecorpse]

@kohoko As true as that may be, a lot of people seem to think that Mark isn't as "In touch with the fans" unlike the others. Many claim to have been ignored or insulted by his attitude at signings and meets. Which is a shame for people who actually look up to him as an influence.

[xalalalala]

FODA-SE!

[blooberflat22]

awesome cymbal work

[DontLikeBandsIHate]

So sad to hear he left chimaira. Again.

[iPROFITDON]

I fucking love listening to him play but I can not stand watching him, his style is ugly to me, but the sound is epic.

[xXxmetalhead666xx]

andols is a fucking beast! and hes a body builder too!!!

[DrumsForMetal]

very nice I like you cymbal sound

[09joero]

ANDOLS IS THE FUCKIN BEST!!!!!!

I BET HIS SACK IS MADE OF GOLD!

[andypandy133]

Argueing over the internet like this is like running in the special olympics, even if you win you still a retard!!!

[tcannariato]

Andols and Tomas Haake fucking rule!!!!

[yamahadrums95]

just the nod at the end is enough for me

[LkAuYrNtE]

Why does everyone always argue whether Joey is the best drummer or not? He even admits himself on the roadrunner dvd that he doesn't even consider himself a "killer drummer". There's always gonna be someone who's "better".

[ilrs]

Fuck all soul.

[Fredzip]

Great Andols !

[SH4DOWxBULL3T]

love how you got one guy yawning in the back ground like its just another walk in the park..

fucking insane drummer..

[Tricestar18]

Sounds Beautiful!

[Tvimadur]

this part of the song is going to destroy my car soon. I hear it as lout as I can take it, well, I'm nearly deaf.

Great song, great band and epic drummer

[FinRazzor]

i just say these words andols rules!

[ponchothegreatest]

damn!

[AMisfitsLyric]

I love how all the 14 year old scene kid drummers think they have it figured out.

"I'ma git muhself a 4 peece drum kit n I'ma do them dubble bases and dem blast beets."

Goddamn, there is so much more to drumming than hitting insane amounts of notes.

Any other drummers out there seeing that his 1s, 2s, 3s and 4s arent beyond a normal time?

This is what drumming is all about it.

[Nilephan666]

Totally would have preferred this video without the backing track, anyone else?

[tiemyrope666]

i love how hes is fucking shredding but yet looks so confused.

[halolain]

gotta love that china =]

[YOg0sUn]

Fuck!! His drum solo is incredible! FUCK!! Long live andols

[mcbtbxer]

Fuckin rules..Andols is my reason to live..I fuckin Love him, he is playin crazy and I dont know anyone else plays like that..So good!!

thanx from Turkey, Andols and chimaira we love them!

[NekGuitar]

and people think vadrum is god with double pedal, ignorants.

[dollduggabuzz]

one of my fav drummers

[blackbloodvomitorium]

Andols is super talented.. some of his foot patterns are insane aswell.... trying to learn some chimaira stuff and its fucking hard man.

[MsFlaps]

thats my boy

[AMisfitsLyric]

Fuck Talley lol

[Cletus575]

Andols is the perfect drummer for Chimaira. He is so talanted.

[Awkrin]

Dual rides!

That's how true drummers roll.

Andols is god! I might be taking his drum lessons this summer.

[IanfromKingsofMetal]

i got that set up too... its freaking awesome to have

[AMisfitsLyric]

I fucking love Andols' style of drumming.

Doesnt matter who you compare him to, he's a future Hall of Famer along with the rest of Chimaira.

[lockfist99]

Amen to that. Just watch a Chimaira DVD. When you see how musically gifted evry one of them is. Then you can make comparisons.

In my opinion, if there were an all star game of metal bands, he would be my choice for drummer...hands down!

[hed1e]

Nobody gives a fcuk about how good you think he is.. yes he didnt graduate Berkley but yet to me Chimaira is far more ahead than Dream Theater as a band. You dont have to be a brilliant musical genius graduated from THE BEST possible college to be able to write good appreciated music.. why dont you just understand that?

[cliffnboyzy]

hi, i'm a fuckwit drum critic.

i hate everyone that is not in the bands that i give hand jobs to.

grow up you kids.

[countbleck35]

lol

[MetalHead42694]

Lmao fuckin a dude

[txoxmxg]

agreed!

just shut up everyone, and stop making shitty judgements.

[silentjay2]

now tht was incredible

[RaXxXeR]

One of the most amazing drum solos!

It's so cool how he hit the cymbals and make it tight and sound so great. I think Andols is one of the best drummers in the world, and that's what he want's to be.

[CHIMAIRATILLIDIE]

andols is an amazing drummer but i was gutted he cut all his hair!

[Tricestar18]

you wish.

[salebowwow]

In your wildest dreams maybe.

[hammer62170]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zz

[DaNxBringTheNoisE]

who' the best is opinion based, but Andols is definately my favourite.

If the was the same sorta thing to fantasy football but making a band, Andols and Rob Arnold DEFFO in mine. lol

Or the Bleed The Sky drummer is pretty sick..

[theendlessknot]

Hellhammer isnt that great I dont think - certainly not better than Andols Herrick especially now he has joined DB...

[he11bound]

hes creative and a god! good stuff

[GermanFighter187]

Andols Herrick <-- The best drummer of all time. Abosolutely fucking perfect. He has the slickness and cleaness of a jazz drummer. The speed of a cheetah. He's original. He is complex but doesn't do to much, so the guitars can shine too. He has brought a whole new meaning to double-bass. He lists Dave Lombardo as one of his idols. Dave is one of my idols as well, if you wanna be truthfull and realistic. Dave Lombardo could take a lesson or two from the King Of Metal Percussion-Andols Herrick

[jesuslives6665]

Lol... All I got to say. I don't believe in a "BEST drummer" or best anything for that matter when it comes to music, but to keep flamers off your ass not that you have a problem with them on this video don't bring up the word "best" and I agree he is one of the better drummers in the world. But I like Hellhammer from Dimmu Borgir more for metal.

[coreofhate187]

Hellhammer is only fast....not more...but Andols is fast, perfect & still clean!

[cmrh101]

Mario Duplaintier from Gojira, i think thats how you spell his name, and Kevin Talley are up there

[cyberskelet0n]

There's really nobody who compares to legends like Buddy Rich, Neil Peart, or Mike Portnoy, who's a metal playing god, but also knows his complexities and plays them to a stunning degree. Imagine the speed and power of a drummer like Andols with the complexity and technicality of Neil, and you get Portnoy. He's a TRUE legend.

[wrwales]

to be honest neil pearts over rated idc what anyone say and as for mike portnoy who the fuck is he must be another old fuck getting praise like he doesnt deserve meh like i care either way im sure this will piss you off and thats my goal

[cyberskelet0n]

Ever stopped to think that popularity doesn't make a drummer good? He received a degree in music from Berklee College of Music in Boston. He's a genius in music, and he can do anything metal 10x better than Andols can. Andols is groove metal, anyways.

He isn't popular at all, and the only people who praise him are very credited in doing so. Go get an education, idiot.

[Tricestar18]

lol you should read up a bit on andols.

[cyberskelet0n]

First of all, I said that MP isn't "mainstream" or "popular," not Andols. Second, I know that Andols went to college for music. I'm not saying that Andols is in any way bad. But he's not the best, and he doesn't deserve half of the credit that people give him.

[MrJoeyMonster]

dude fuck off

none of them wankers u mentioned can play metal

thats all that matters

no one matches up to andols, end of story

[drpablo2]

andols cant match up to kollias or frost

[MrJoeyMonster]

andols's beats are alot more tasteful/musical than what kollias plays with his metal bands...like it matters anyway?

why compare random drummers, this vid is about andols not kollias or any other fucker

[drpablo2]

thats bullshit

[TheMaggotChicken]

The guy is my idol.

Fuck Joey Jordisson

:P

[MaggotMuncher96]

@TheMaggotChicken dude no...you fail man Joey kicks ass he may not be the fastest or the most technichal but he is ranked #5 on the-top-tens and unfourtunatley Andols isnt on there but he should be on there

[badtouch257]

@MaggotMuncher96 Jordisson is alright... nothin special tho. highly overrated if ya ask me.. Herrick and Chris Adler are 2 amazing drummers cuz they make some sick shit! and cuz they do more than the same beat over and over.. doesnt matter if theyre extremely fast or "the top 10 drummers" cuz half the ppl that make those lists dont even listen to or enjoy this music

[MaggotMuncher96]

@badtouch257 look Jordison is a great drummer not for his speed/beats but for his tallents he plays guitar, sings, drums, and writes most if not all the music for Slipknot, Murder Dolls, and more so that is why i would definitly put him in the top5

5. Joey Jordison

4.Andoles Herrick

3.Nicko McBrian

2. Jon "the charn" Rice

1. Derrick Roddy

[TheBreakOfDawn18]

Ever heard something about James Sullivan : Drums, Vocal, Guitar, Bass, Piano and Songwriter, he was a god , but Joey is awesome, too

[Tricestar18]

@TheMaggotChicken both great in my opinion... fuck you i say :)

[TheMaggotChicken]

@Tricestar18 Cant believe you managed to say fuck you with a smile. :P I actually like both now in their own right. George Kollias Is a cut above though.

[sanchetti75]

What a sound comming out of them drums, great cymbal work too, the concentration on his face is awsome. He's so hard on himself that he believes if he's not getting better he's infact getting worse, real perfectionist and it shows here :)

[milfeh]

Oh, Andols.. *swoon*

[Levari6]

Nice.

[Kirie88]

This is honestly the best drummer in the world! :D

[Crushing81]

Fuck man!!!! ha ha ha really? The guy is a freak, awesome.

[pit666lord]

fucking disgustingly amazing drummer

[s7efo]

Mr.Herrick is Jesus of drumming ^^

[vilmos666]

I watch this for the 200 time!Awesome!!

[NOWYOURGONNABURNHOE]

Andols Herrick is a God

That guy is so fuckin precise

Normal humans would have to have OCD to get to that level of accuracy...but not Andols

Hail Chimaira

[drpablo2]

i can do that and tim yeung coud beat his ass too

[fuzzyboy50]

It's not about if you can do it, its if you can create it yourself and keep the rhythm of it perfectly.

[vilmos666]

This is the shit!!!Awesome \m/

[ALMYCorporations]

Andols is very good at drumming. He has more versatility and doesnt reuse beats. I liked the video.

[itwascallumdowns]

it looks like he doesnt kno wat hes doin at the start lol.fucking sick chimaira pwns

[rTuomikanto]

Well this is kinda hard piece to play. Nevertheless we're doing a duo of this clip right here with 2 practice kits, it's gonna be good...

[Mahavishnu80]

i dont rate this guy that highly on a technical level-the kevin talley guy is a stronger drummer in many aspects. check out sean reinert, tomas hakke, the guy from between the buried, the guy from enbalmed, the guy from gojira, bobby jarzombek etc

[webbtje]

Way to compare apples to pears. Well done.

[chairettes]

apples and oranges, moron.

[webbtje]

Considering how malleable the English language is, I'm not exactly sure what your problem is.

Besides, I'd like to think I'm somewhat more literate than most of the Youtube population, wouldn't you?

[Contagion76]

Malleable means willingness to cave under stress.

[webbtje]

Malleable also means adaptable, soft.

[andrewisagenius]

Andols is soooooo much better than most death metal drummers. Kevin is really awesome aswell, but they're completely different styles and Kevin didn't really suit Chimaira much.

[ChimVayneWork]

Amazing drummer, my favorite drummer out there, technical, fast, original. Doesn't play that fucking overused death metal blast beat alllll the time. HES THE SHIIIIIIITT!

[footyboyfield]

dude andols pwns hes the best drummer out there in heavy metal. although i cant really say that because ive never heard him play dream theater stuff even though thats entirely different. mike portnoy pwns also.

[craigG22]

one of the most technical drummers, my favorite drummer. Rob and Andols are a fucking killer combination.

[SpawnOfHate666]

eh no offense to those andols fans i think he is the 2nd to kevin kevin was alot smoother and brutal with his drumming

[ilikememusic]

thats cause kevins a death metal drummer and andols is a more progressive and technical drummer. to totally different styles

[svsh9]

haha have you seen a death metal drummer try to play anyhting except 250 bpm blast beats? they cant because thats all they no.

[salebowwow]

Just like how ignorant you sound by not using proper spelling with the word "know."

[he11bound]

hes so creative with his drumming. respect.

[Shady32]

He's better than Joey Jordison, don't care what they say. long life chimaira

[addamka]

I like Joey very much, but you're right, I agree Andols is better.

[slipknotskid]

this is like the only reason why i listen to this song because the drum and guitar part during the solo PWNS!!

[tjmagoo]

what was that taken from??

[txoxmxg]

it was taken from chimaira's new album resurrection (bonus dvd)

[tjmagoo]

kk cheers

[pablobiogeo]

incredible

[ilikememusic]

he is like one of the best metal drummers out there currently

he is my fav metal drummer for his pure genius to come up with something like that

[pullharderstrings]

Andols is amazing, this is one of the coolest parts in any of the Chimaira songs. SUECOFF!!!!!! RULES!!!!

[mikeknight123]

awesome
