[TheHamblinStudios]

In the most non homo-sexual way....I want you.

[himynameisgus]

[asenseofhate]

great playing. and thank u for not improperly bashing those cymbals

[Annikadilmah]

Holy shit, marry me!

[slipkhein66]

NICE drumming! I though I had skinny legs hahaha

[xKiNGxVx]

all i could look at was your chin

[ImNotOkIPromiseYou1]

I'm so proud of my cousin :)

[steveNOSOUND]

must be nice to have $234893284038904234 to spend on drums, studio and equipment this guys drumming is rad though

[TadGxSF]

I didnt know about you, and now that I meet you I want to tell you that you are amazing :D!

[winner0loser]

You have crushed my hopes and dreams. How can anyone compete with you? I hate you.

[superchanneljim]

@winner0loser Or just take what he does and use it as inspiration. There will always be someone better than you... deal with it. The bright side... get as good as you can and never stop learning!

[PoliceDoubtFires]

I want this kit......-_____- so bad that i think i've just soiled myself.

[drummerboy0311]

This is a reallllllllllllly good video!

[DRUMer2412]

I love his kit, I try to copy his setup. Except for some of his cymbals.

[dukebe]

I dont think he's using his own audio track. still fucking awesome tho, i wish i could do stick tricks

[MrReedhead]

4:00 - fake...

[assassinm69]

@MrReedhead several different video takes, using the best audio.

[MrReedhead]

you're bass drum is fly

[FARYSAFEZRA]

i subscribed after 15seconds!

[drummerboy0311]

How much was everything?

[egcustomdrums]

Anyone know what snare head he has on?



[blackomega666]

at 3:05 looks like some ones pressed fast foward XD

[AntonioDavidPickett]

Nice Kit.

[mrdrumstixx]

Holy crap! Anyone know what snare he's using?

[MrPaokara100]

BEAST SNARE DRUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheGingerBreadMan92]

What pedals does he use!!!

[MPdrummer01]

5:55 hes not wearing a trousers 

[crisbatk]

Beautiful!!! drum!!! excelent drummer!!! yeahhh

[krisshinn18]

Thanks for choosing Truth. Best drums out there

[MrTomBatt]

What the fuck at 2:17 ???

[graff715]

@TamaTones No it doesn't. 

[RawkinOutt]

Sweet shorts.

[xXAlecXxC]

yea you cant hear his drums at all..

[xXsparkythegreatXx]

me gusta

[jonfrogy28]

0:25

[xXsparkythegreatXx]

aw.. he crushed my hopes and dreams..

[FocusFight]

LOL I just found out this is not the real drumming sound. Check 2:15. He hits the snare but nothing happens? (Awesome drumming btw, I truly love this shit)

[becauseiey]

@FocusFight Wow good eye. wouldnt have seen that

[MrNaughtyBoy1234]

@FocusFight And also around 2:30 he hits his chinas but there's sound from a crash and so on...

[treytreydjembe]

@FocusFight how is this not real drumming?

whats he doing then just not hitting the drums? do you know how much harder that would be to play an entire song and not hit a single drum? maybe he did the video in multiple takes and used a separate take's audio?

[snackeye12]

@FocusFight the probly record the video and the audio sepratly and he might have played that differently on the audio track then the video track. alot of people do that in there covers

[WillyBangsTheDrum]

@FocusFight its probably real he just mixed up some takes on accident or something i bet

[ZeusTheMatti]

@WillyBangsTheDrum Nope its the sound from the CD.. Its playback.

[WillyBangsTheDrum]

@ZeusTheMatti yea i figured it out

[WillyBangsTheDrum]

@FocusFight o i see what u mean now, theres no live audio

[BubbleRapOwns]

@FocusFight They just play the song over him playing the drums.

[BubbleRapOwns]

@FocusFight But check out 3:00, Splash crash? haha

[FocusFight]

@BubbleRapOwns wow, nice catch haha I missed that one

[mattdrumsss]

@FocusFight different camera angles= different sessions/takes.

[Represent613]

@FocusFight they film him doing the actual sound take, and then they film more shots for fun camera angles, and he did something a bit different. Quite common in this type of videos

[flippytheleper]

@FocusFight

chances are this is just a play along they did for promotional purposes, he may have just changed the way he plays the song after the fact

[N00bExplosion]

@FocusFight that was a lapse in the recording. u can hear it kinda fade out a bit.

[andrewantosik]

@FocusFight Those are called ghostnotes.. lol

[FocusFight]

@andrewantosik ghostnotes, I think you are on the wrong video

[andrewantosik]

@FocusFight They don't have to be constantly be played to be a ghostnote, just a tiny rebound after every afterbeat or whatever is a ghostnote,

[ChrisRmusic]

@FocusFight maybe he records once then different takes ????

[appledrummerNr1]

@FocusFight Thats just becouse of the different angles. He plays the same thing like 4 to 5 times and sometimes little variations which is normal i think ;) awesome drummer here!

[sypher929]

@FocusFight lul lul you think? have you ever heard live drums sound this good?



[UTTERKAOS1994]

@FocusFight He could have just edited out the hit if he didn't like it.

[abmanc98]

@FocusFight Or there's this thing called ghost taps...

[marralis]

@FocusFight they probably just used multiple takes or mic malfunction

[SamS5402]

@FocusFight yeah, its an audio dub

[AJMitchell777]

@FocusFight Ur retarded..

[DrumsofEternity]

@FocusFight yeah, but he recorded this.

[EliasGodoe]

@FocusFight uhm, he's just leaning the drumstick on the drumhead, he'd have to HIT the snare to get some sound..

[LukeSnyderMusic]

@FocusFight Thats simply because they happened to use a different take of that fill and didn't have the video clip to match. This may indeed be the natural drum sound.

[iLoveAltNation]

@FocusFight Or he edited it out because he messed up?

[tripl6ez]

@FocusFight it probably is hims playing, they just used different segments of film and he just so happened to play it differently

[Meatlooaf]

people who say grant can't play, fuck your own ass. this is the coolest performance i've seen in a good while

[TamaTones]

That snare sounds like SEX!

[zachariahm10]

@TamaTones im tired of these pervs on youtube. it doesnt sound like sex. It sounds like a nicely tuned snare drum.

[iLoveAltNation]

@TamaTones Evans heads :)

[WillComeAgain]

Mcfartland lol:D

fcking epic!!!



[mariamariaband]

2:17 fail.

[thanksmisfortune]

@mariamariaband You're dumb. You know why? Because even if his drumming didn't match up with his OWN DRUMMING (since this is his song), it still doesn't matter because any REAL drummer can see that 99% of this song is accurate. I noticed him hit the hi-hat at one part instead of choking the crash cymbal. But i didn't make a gay Fail comment.

You fail.

[mariamariaband]

@thanksmisfortune u mad bro? i just said the sync is fail. not his drumming. chillax dude. btw, u got a nice drum cover man. keep up the good work.

[DrumBum561]

what pedals are you using?

[RammGmbH]

This song is so fucking epic...

[VesuveusBand]

2:17

[thanksmisfortune]

Who cares how he plays - it seems to be working out pretty well for him. Awesome cover. And I think he just holds the sticks a little close to the end and probably does play with longer drumsticks

[Ozzathawildy]

@thanksmisfortune Hey man! :) Don't want to bother at all or sound like a smartass, but haha! it's not a cover, he's the old drummer of the band :) He left because he didn't fit in the touring life! Still friends!

[thanksmisfortune]

@Ozzathawildy Oh haha its funny, I was thinking that he probably was the drummer of the band because I had never heard of TOTA till I saw this video. Still, some sicknasty drumming.

[Ozzathawildy]

@thanksmisfortune Yeah he's kinda amazing! You're a drummer yourself? Not many outsiders wanders the path of drummer videos on youtube.. xD!

[thanksmisfortune]

@Ozzathawildy Yes sir, from one drummer to another, this guy ROCKS

[jamcow3]

Why have I never listened to TOTA?!

I

hate

myself.

-___-

[bsm6776]

I thought the Zildjian cymbals in his other video sounded better than meinl

[DarrenOakley]

This video got to 5 seconds and I hit the sub button haha! Nice work man!!

[poosaygetuhh]

goddamn is it me or are his sticks long as fuck

[AAPowerdog]

What happened at 2:15 i see him hitting the snare but there is only 1 snare hit

[SuperDrummerJoe]

really necessary to use his whole arms and fly about the place?

[garycheung92]

@SuperDrummerJoe

probably, especially for this genre. I find it really helps to get the aggressive attitude of the drums out.

[SuperDrummerJoe]

@garycheung92 hitting them harder with proper technique would hit them better than this, and the cymbals would last longer, not to mention it would be far easier to watch, this is painful -.-

[chaosrokkfreak]

If he and Matt Greiner had a competition, it'd be a close competition.

[superkid5647isweird]

I had no idea what Lamnidae actually was then when I was in biology I discovered that it's a shark family. A big one. Seems a fitting name. This is pimping sweet.

[merksperk2]

@superkid5647isweird

Architeuthis is a family of giant squid, I think.

[superkid5647isweird]

@merksperk2 I think it's the genus, but I'm not sure. Whatever it is, it's bad ass.

[lucasfishstix]

holy crap he has some longg legs

[CrAD7861]

He fuckin wrote the song. Im sure he can play it.

[TheRicelessAsian]

@gislibesti13 he's obviously drumming dude.

[gislibesti13]

2:17 you can see that he is not really drumming

[Drumskyle]

@gislibesti13 he's obviously still playing it. it just might not be live video.



[Drummerboy554466]

@gislibesti13 he is playing it, it's just not a live cover.

[DrummerTSherry]

0:51 his set looks HUGE, and he's so tiny. LOL

[kDrum01]

YOU ROCK

[ChimPiZGaY]

Jesus, he makes me feel bad about my drumming..

[Yokogueri]

Nice set.

[ahamilton624]

Excellent job i must say!! @bstad4321 that bass drum is a beast lol my orange county kits bass is 22x20 freakin love it

[xxDomxx]

good job

[KingQuickscoping]

So many cymbals, not very many drums.

[littledrummer1994]

@KingQuickscoping every drummer plays with the drumset he thinks is better for what he has to play. surely for the kinda music he plays you must have lots of cymbals, but that doesn't mean anything. you can be a great drummer also if you don't have mike portnoy's kit.

[KingQuickscoping]

@littledrummer1994 I was just saying there is many cymbals and not a lot of drums i wasnt saying anything about his playing, sorry for the misunderstanding.

[littledrummer1994]

@KingQuickscoping No, I am sorry. I misunderstood. I re-red your comment and I was a bit rude, and I talked about something you didn't say. Sorry.

[jewilzing]

That bass drum is alive man

[huntre7696]

@bstad4321 its accually small he just sits really low so it looks big i think its 20x20

[joshzirkle]

So glad I got to see them when he was still apart of TOTA.

[ck42014]

crushing the game at 1:50 through 2:10

[bstad4321]

jesus, look at that bass drum. f-ing huge.

[pierces19941]

I feel bad for him, he was born without wrists

[TurdFurgusonABF]

No pants 1:03

[codyandcambria]

DAT RIDE... wuts it sound lik?



[SteuerRiese]

Do You play 16" &18" Chineses or 14" & 16" Chineses ?

[PetriesLakeHouse]

@godjesusmoses really? the band said health related problems on their Facebook page. I guess the touring thing is understandable though.

[olistai]

from those 60000 views i'm over the 30 000. I can't beleive it yet.. SICK

[PetriesLakeHouse]

@minibus1423 apparently he left for health related reasons, no hard feelings between him and the other guys.

[godjesusmoses]

@PetriesLakeHouse

No man. He left to work with Carson Slovak at Atrium Audio in Lancaster. I guess he didn't feel like touring for the rest of his life, understandable. Same thing happened with Logan from Texas in July, except he went to school.

[wonderingthesestreet]

please tell me the heads and and methods you use on your toms bc they sound like jesus

[redefn199]

@wonderingthesestreet this sound comes mainly from processing with EQ (cut mids) and compression (quick attack), it's nearly impossible to get a tom to actually sound like this.

[wonderingthesestreet]

@redefn199 well that sucks :|

[TheSaxDrummer123]

2:18 No snare sound? lol

[therealvoltage]

@TheSaxDrummer123 He just played the wrong fill, the song is dubbed over him playing

[XxtheblindwitnessxX]

I love the way his head bobs while he's playing. It reminds me of a turtle.

[boobmonter64]

PAUSE AT :50 craziest face.

[godjesusmoses]

FUCK. That kit is beautiful, especially the kick drum.

[TruthDrummer1000]

This guy is amazing!

[Saageen]

0:52 looks like he's playing with no pants on!

[stoneman619]

@Saageen that would reallly hurt

[Afroman188]

@Saageen LMFAO!

[PetriesLakeHouse]

So sad he's out of the band now. ):

[minibus2010]

@PetriesLakeHouse I KNOOOWWW :(( I haven't why though, do you know??

[2plus2gleich3]

@Pablations lol Grant names Travis as one of his idols

[drummerboii15]

Grant Mcfarland at 0:05 ''Shit here it comes''

Grant Mcfarland at 0:09 ''Get at my level kids''

[Tonydums]

[TurdFurgusonABF]

[HCopelinDrumming]

@HCopelinDrumming Same dude, very cool!

[drummer6945]

[Jadebeet]

He's fast on his toms.

[GabriellBranco]

[ITSARONMCNEAL]

you guys are under rated I don't say that about everyone.

[HermanIvanov]

2-17!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fake!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[socaldgafbro]

@HermanIvanov also at 2:40

fake

[HxAustinxC]

@socaldgafbro Not fake they just took the audio of him playing along to the song, muted it and replaced it with the actual song.

[socaldgafbro]

@HxAustinxC of course so he is not playing what you hear. he is but not is what im getting at its dubbed

[H0022]

@socaldgafbro he could have had 2 recordings, one were the sound came out good but the vid didnt so he used another, but it could be him

[Andy4543]

doesnt anybody know what evans head that is?? is that how black evans head looks??
