He really uses his minimal kit to great advantage - for example, at 1:30 when we jump into the bridge vocals, he's using his snare (really hard hits) as the bright punch of the section, then when the guitars drop an octave and get heavier he switches to the double bass for the emphasis. Just great instincts, and a lot of years ahead of him to improve his already excellent skills...
I love Brann because he doesn't need to go nuts with the double bass. His style blends perfectly with Mastodon's bluesy take on prog and stoner metal.
Not only a great drummer, but it was cool on their DVD when like the only kid in a wal mart that knew who brann dailor and mastodon were, approached him and he took him back to the tour bus and gave him some signed shit. Made that kid's night.
bran over portnoy drummin any day of the week but goes to show cannot argue about taste because i like portnoy as a drummer but the music surrounding his drums it's not my cup of tea and mastodon is!(saw them live at graspop absolutely brilliant!)
@lololosergio I love Brann in Mastodon, and I love Dave for his work in Fantomas. But I don't really like Slayer. So, I'm going with Brann on this one.
@EvilN00ber 14" MB20 heavy soundwave hats, 19" MB20 heavy crash (I believe thats the size) 20" MB20 heavy crash, and a 20 or 22" MB20 ride. Don't know if it's heavy or medium heavy. Certainly not the heavy bell though
this is all the reasons you need to stay away from triggers on snare and toms. also, how the hell is the highest rated comment for this video gonna be about the dude's shoes? that's incredibly stupid.
@wolfboii999 I agree on the triggered snare. I don't think Brann usually uses triggers, though I'm not sure.
However, that trigger is a really ugly sound on that snare. It's a Tama, it sounds beautiful naturally. No need to mess it up with triggers. Personally, I am okay with triggers on the kick, though for Brann's drumming and musical style, those triggers stand out like a sore thumb. His triggered drums sound way too bright for the music, not enough of a dark, bass, drum resonance to it
@yakbutter78 He's offbeat once towards the end, and he made a little fluke in the first half but recovered it in a way making it unnoticeable to people that don't know mastodon's songs by heart.
The drummer isn't overrated, he's what he is, and he's damn good. Obviously he isn't Portnoy, Mangini, Peart level. The age difference kind of compensates.
@molomono Oh he's on portnoy's level, mangini's and peart's as well. He's just up there with a totally different style. Brann Dailor is one of the most creative drummers to ever live by far. His earlier work with Mastodon is probably his best though because that's when they were at their heaviest and he was required to be more technical. Plus it's hard to play to your own song without your band. Who knows there could've even been some technical difficulties but we'd never know for sure.
@molomono ya drummers like but drummers like peart, portnoy, and carey are all 15-25 years older then him as well. hes ONLY got room to improve at this point, he has a very very long career ahead of him
@molomono but drummers like peart, portnoy, and carey are all 15-25 years older then him as well. hes ONLY got room to improve at this point, he has a very very long career ahead of him
@molomono No musician ever reaches a peak. Every time they play, they get better. It's a constant growth of skill unless they stop playing for a period of time or physically can't do it anymore.
@molomono ........ absolutely wrong on every conceivable level. portnoy? wank-rock has nothing to do with this genre AT ALL. once your pube-count excedes 7 then you can pontificate about who's "reached their peak"... until then just enjoy the fucking music. you can name-drop when your at arsehole-camp with the rest of your sphincter happy crowd. you american kids really fuck me off big style. WHO GIVES TWO FUCKS WHAT YOU THINK YOU FUCKING ARSE BANDIT
Big words for such a small boy, and i think you very well know who gives at least THREE fucks what I "the fucking arse bandit" think, and that is quite frankly you, based on your reaction.
@molomono I agree. Brann never had a formal drum education that many other big drummers nowadays have had. However, at least for me, that is what in a sense makes him so iconic. I've never really had any traditional, regimented lessons on the drumset. The only lesson I had was for about two or three weeks but that was super basic intro stuff.
However, I digress; Brann has accomplished a lot, but he still has a lot of room to grow, as does any musician.
@Turk656 I think the fact that he didn't take classes made him better; made him a musician and no a drummer. He developed his own style and raw energy. I think that's what people who play instruments should learn - learn to be themselves and express themselves, not what the guy next door can do. ^^
j'adore ce batteur parce que , il a pas besoin de tones de tom et de cymbales pour ecrasé la baraque !!! , et en plus on aurait dit qu'il force meeme pas X)
I own a pair of those Vans shoes, they work great for drumming cause they are nice and squishy, good flex to them. Plus the flat thin soles really feel good on the pedals. Chuck tailors are really good too.
Though he lacks in showmanship, Brann is a BRILLIANT musician along with the rest of Mastodon and I take much influence from them. I've seen them twice and they put on a great show. Highly recommended. Cheers to you, Mr. Dailor.
@MsBrittsyVengenz no lol fail. there are also rumors that he could replace mike portnoy. i dont think he will considerign hes busy with mastodon. if he went to A7X anyway he would be a massive sell out.
@JediFulton i know its just a rumor. the guy i replied to was saying brann could be the new A7X and i was giving another BS rumor i heard to tell him how dumb his was. brann shouldnt leave mastodon, hes PERFECT with them
@metal666silviu For real!!no big useless double bass-just one of the best modern heavy drummers on a regualr kit sounding bigger and badder than most!Thanks for you ACCURATE post!
@LetsGetHighOnMorris lol i got the slip on blade catcher shoes....people always compliment me on them even though im sure they have no idea who mastodon is...
@gawiur Yeah, man... It's awesome. It doesn't care for me to watch him failing. Mastodon's big trouble is that they can't take their awesome album sound to their live shows...
what i like about Brann is that it seems to me he favours faster hands than feet.. something which alot of metal drummers dont do.. not that i have a problem with that, but its refreshing to see metal drumming done like that..
@CrystalTrees5mcs I think Pridgeon is a more complete and better drummer overall. That's not saying Dailor is bad, he's awesome! But Pridgeon is in a higher division!
@Oxpost Maybe thats true. But i think that their rolls are about equal in speed and creativity, its hard for me to like Thoms fills any more than Branns.
@CrystalTrees5mcs I beg to differ on the creativity part. Brann is very creative, for a metal-drummer, but Pridgeon is, to me, one of the most creative drummers out there. When you're playing for a band like TMV you've got to be able to do some extremely weird and hard stuff for it all to come together!
@Oxpost i meant rolls as in snare/tom rolls, i think they both have a talent for unique fills. but yeah pridgeon can take the groove to another level it seems.
@CrystalTrees5mcs they both play actually pretty different styles; i don't think brann's full talent shows nearly as much as tom's with the style of music he plays. brann's talent showed more in the album Remission. it's hard to say what drummer is better
@th3m4rzv0lt4 (nice name) Yes, exactly! What i wouldnt pay for just Brann's Drum tracks from Remission!! u can tell he is heavily involved in the song writing process though, i think blood mountain is his legacy, even if its not his most talented work. But now he is drumming + singing at same time, so its a different level entirely. The drumming on Skye is covered up a lot by additional percussion sounds and overall song structure takes precedence over any member showing off it seems.
I dont see what is so good about Brann? He doesnt have his own style, he isnt fast, isnt creative, isnt musical, doesnt keep in time or change time well, i do like that he actually uses dynamics, but on the whole he isnt overly impressive for me.
@MachineHeadohYeah You don't know anything about drumming, have you heard songs like calliparian crest and island? He can play as fast as he wants, and can change between Jazz and metal in one song, he and Danny Carey are the best living drummers.
@MachineHeadohYeah wow, i totally disagree, specially after listening to their last album, Crack in the Sky is a masterpiece and the drumming is intricate, beatiful in fact. I think you just need to be more open minded
You try playing in front of the greatest group of drummers ever assembled and see how well you fare.
Brann is a very good drummer, and while this wasn't the best song in terms of showing his abilities, you're missing all the little nuances of his technique.
@MachineHeadohYeah branns drumming is more melodic and much more musical than the typical 4/4 heads out there like the rev (hes not actually out there anymore) but brann dailor is a god compared to most drummers out there today.
One of my favorite drummers. This guy is amazing!

But he lacks the experience that Peart, Portnoy and other drummers at that level have.
Kind of like a diamond in the rough, but half the diamond is already cut and shining beautify, yet he still can improve on what he has.
I'd say that's a good thing, basically i'm saying he hasn't reached his peak yet.

Now Seriously, This guy freaking ROCKSS!!
but who here thinks Thomas Pridgoen (sp) of The Mars Volta is about equal to Brann in skillmanship and kinda similar style.

@CrystalTrees5mcs I think Pridgeon is a more complete and better drummer overall. That's not saying Dailor is bad, he's awesome! But Pridgeon is in a higher division!

@Oxpost Maybe thats true. But i think that their rolls are about equal in speed and creativity, its hard for me to like Thoms fills any more than Branns.
CrystalTrees5mcs 1 year ago
@CrystalTrees5mcs I beg to differ on the creativity part. Brann is very creative, for a metal-drummer, but Pridgeon is, to me, one of the most creative drummers out there. When you're playing for a band like TMV you've got to be able to do some extremely weird and hard stuff for it all to come together!

@Oxpost i meant rolls as in snare/tom rolls, i think they both have a talent for unique fills. but yeah pridgeon can take the groove to another level it seems.
CrystalTrees5mcs 1 year ago
@CrystalTrees5mcs they both play actually pretty different styles; i don't think brann's full talent shows nearly as much as tom's with the style of music he plays. brann's talent showed more in the album Remission. it's hard to say what drummer is better

@th3m4rzv0lt4 (nice name) Yes, exactly! What i wouldnt pay for just Brann's Drum tracks from Remission!! u can tell he is heavily involved in the song writing process though, i think blood mountain is his legacy, even if its not his most talented work. But now he is drumming + singing at same time, so its a different level entirely. The drumming on Skye is covered up a lot by additional percussion sounds and overall song structure takes precedence over any member showing off it seems.

Oh no! This drumming must have fried 39 peoples brain so bad they accidently hit the dislike button. I hope they are OK now.

I dont see what is so good about Brann? He doesnt have his own style, he isnt fast, isnt creative, isnt musical, doesnt keep in time or change time well, i do like that he actually uses dynamics, but on the whole he isnt overly impressive for me.
MachineHeadohYeah 1 year ago
@MachineHeadohYeah You don't know anything about drumming, have you heard songs like calliparian crest and island? He can play as fast as he wants, and can change between Jazz and metal in one song, he and Danny Carey are the best living drummers.
destroysubgenres 1 year ago
@MachineHeadohYeah wow, i totally disagree, specially after listening to their last album, Crack in the Sky is a masterpiece and the drumming is intricate, beatiful in fact. I think you just need to be more open minded
franciscomeza11 1 year ago
@MachineHeadohYeah
You try playing in front of the greatest group of drummers ever assembled and see how well you fare.
Brann is a very good drummer, and while this wasn't the best song in terms of showing his abilities, you're missing all the little nuances of his technique.
willmcloone1 1 year ago
@MachineHeadohYeah branns drumming is more melodic and much more musical than the typical 4/4 heads out there like the rev (hes not actually out there anymore) but brann dailor is a god compared to most drummers out there today.
