If there's one drummer that's way underrated, it's john boecklin. He's probably the best, and most creative drummer I've ever seen beside George Kollias. Seeing these guys on january 16. Going to be fucking epic, can't even wait. Hailz to John Boecklin and Devildriver!
@mikecannonn Yeah man, tottaly agree with you, his style is completely unique, and best of it all, it sounds way better than what other drummers are performing these days. It's what makes Devildriver a unique imense band, as well as there whole band overall. Awesome.
nah mate i dont mean simple as in easy, i mean simple as in not very technical, and its only RIGHT/LEFT/RIGHT/LEFT.....ill admit he is a sick drummer, but not very imaginative
ahh dude, gotta disagree with you there, i think if you saturate drumming with tech then it becomes a big show off with no feeling, tech over substance if you will
. I think he executes his drum tracks with perfect timing rhythm feel and accuracy, that for me makes an astounding drummer.
i dont mean tech as in insane technical fills all the way through every song....its just boecklin doesnt really bring anything new/extraordinary to the drumming table exept for the fact that heis insanely tight and never misses a beat, but anyone could do that with enough practice.....just to confirm, i do really love devildriver, so im not slagging them or john boecklin of in anyway, just saying he could be a bit more creative
ok dude, DD are indeed amazing, not to impressed with the song pray for villians tho, i mean its really well played and everything just not up to devildriver standard i was exspecting.
yeah of corse, still i dont think the song has as many catchy riffs as normal, drum work is nuts as ever though. I hope dezz dosent try and start singing singing, not beucase i dont like it just beucase its not the devildriver wayy..
I think you are right, but it takes an extraordinary amount skill to play as tight as that guy, no matter how simple his rhythms may be. But yes i admit this isnt the most technical song. Try listening to something like bitter pill, or these fighing words
ill be seeing them on wednesday the 13th with slipknot, this is my 3rd concert in a 2 week run. first lamb of god, then killswitch engage, next stop slipknot and devildriver. oh yeah was at this show here to.
no John doesnt use triggers. thats why every show he says its a challenge to keep the power and the volume, which makes him more of a bad-ass. gotta love the tom work around the 45 second mark
A guy I know said that lots of metal drummers use triggers, but when I see them play live I don't think they use triggers. But I dunno, email the bloke =P
For all these dumbasses sayin DD and LOG are metalcore take off your sisters pants. They are FUCKIN METAL not pussy rock not screamo. if you want screamo go listen to my chemical boyfriends.
how do i listen to trivium, i have 1 video in my fav list cuz its a cool guitar riff, your the one who has more faggy fucking danzig videos than any emo kid. i believe danzig was the band that started the black hair over one eye like you and your faggy emo boyfriends wear so shut the fuck up. faggot
People like you annoy me, you type properly yet after a full stop you have a lower case
fake metal. poser now
If you don't want to type properly that's ok but why are you typing like that to look good but then you don't put a capital after a full stop lolololololololol...........
GODDAMN!!! THIS MOTHERFUCKER IS A BEAST!!! HAIL BOECKLIN AND HAIL DEVIL-FUCKIN-DRIVER!!! by the way does anyone knows what kind of bass pedals he's using??
Chris and John are both amazing drummers. Why does every video showing a metal band have arguements about who the better drummer/guitarist/bassist/singer is? It's metal. Enjoy the kickass music these bands bring us.
Chris Adler sucks so does Lamb of God. John Boecklin is a decent drummer so is Igor Cavalera. Cavalera Conspiracy is great and so much better then Lamb of God.
Lamb of God sucks! DevilDriver is just great the reason they opened up for Lamb of God was that LOG are mainstream. Btw you have to check out Cavalera Conspiracy.
you say that LOG is mainstream and then say check out cavalera conspiracy (they are mainstream) and i think that both LOG and DD are great so shut the fuck up and yes Boecklin and Adler are both great drummers
How does Chris Adler suck? Everything he plays is like, dead accurate precision. And he doesn't try to smother (sp?) a song with insane double bass beats, he can keep it simple at times. Everything fits into the songs though, that's what makes him a great drummer.
OH MY GOD ! Every person on this world said this. But I just want to say OH MY FUCKING GOD ! Moon size, sun size or whatever, now I can say it HE'S ONE OF THE FUCKING BEST DRUMMER IN THIS WORLD ! I listened carefully this (fucking one of the best metal album of the time) record, but ON STAGE, OMFG ! Sorry but he is really amazing ! Don't show me those pussy drummers with 42 cymbals, 62 double pedals etc... HE IS REALLY AWESOME ! END !
