BAD ASS MO FO! 

[JakeKowal]

He made that high hat his bitch

[Lifesucksdie123]

he's such a great musician and off so many people's radar.

love brain.

[Thomlistentoslayer]

and whats soo great??????????

[UnknownSect333]

@Thomlistentoslayer Maybe not in this video, but in the songs Lebron and Lebron's Hammer, you can clearly see his skill.

[doctorbuckner]

There is only HERB! I seen this guys instructional Video. It SUCKED!

[ididcramsmom]

@doctorbuckner- Herb was FAR more technical, but I think Brain's eccentric style added a little something.

[madchops82]

@ididcramsmom Brain has tons more chops than Herb and a better feeling for the funk and go go. Herb is alright...but...well. ... Watch Brain's video and you'll see how much technique he has and how much he's groovin.

[gleventhal]

@madchops82 You are SO wrong! Herb kills BRAIN, KILLS him!!! Better feel?? Are you even serious? Do you know what feel means? Herb is all feel!

[madchops82]

@gleventhal So is Brain. Have you ever seen his instructional video. Herb couldn't do half that go-go stuff. Not to even mention the ostinato or flat out chops. Brain has it all. Herb is more of a self-taught player. He's good...but not as good as Brain. Shouldn't compare really, but Brain has more knowledge and it shows in his playing.

[gleventhal]

@madchops82 I have seen both of them play, and when Herb plays a beat, it has more dynamics, better groove, and his drums just sound better.. not to mention there are more intricacies.. Have you heard Herb on the ADD albums? I am not super familiar with all of Brains playing, but I have seen him play with primus, and to me he sounds much less pro than Herb. I went to a music conservatory for Bass, I know a lot of stuff, but there are self taught bassists who play much better than me.

[madchops82]

@gleventhal Check out Brain's instructional dvd. Shredding repis on the gnar gnar rad. It's on here. He's funky as all get out.

[chillcat69]

I'm so glad to find theres people who appreciate Brain for what he does. He gets dissed pretty hard by the majority of Primus fans. Him and herb are completely different drummers. It comes down to taste. Personally Brain by a mile. Love the groove and punch. He can just groove on a beat that's completely basic and repetitive with minimal variation and I would still prefer to listen to that than some clusterfuck of fills. You need something simple to compliment the rest of Primus. Brain owns.

[Xspoonage]

Is that by any chance a Gene krupa signature kit from Slingerland?

[CaptCinnabon]

@Xspoonage No, Its a DW Classics series drum set

[stersnevet77]

Gotta love the Brain. Especially if he's with Bucket and Bernie and the goofy guy on bass.

[browndemonio]

@stersnevet77 jejeje the goofy guy



[offsafety805]

thunbs up for the sweet catch @ 1:38

[whygodrums10]

This guy is the reincarnation of Bonham. He grooves like no one else (except bonham of course)

[skiddlecrumms]

I heard the beat to Shake Hands With Beef all over the place lol.

[FuckinWurny]

Brain is a fucking badass, no two ways about that. He kills, fuckin' nails and annihilates every song he's featured on. I love Herb too, but the two are so killer at what they do it's impossible to pick favorites.

Jay Lane is a nice in-between of these two cats, seeing him with Primus in a fortnight!

[Misteryowl]

@FuckinWurny I agree completely. Have you seen Herb playing '...Beef'? very shady grounds...

[aakkoin]

don't bash herb... he really created a unique style and sound with primus, totally new approach to double bass, known to be admired by steve smith (!!!)

but nowdays as a drummer i am more influenced by brains rock solid bonham-type grooves

[MountainJammn]

Brain is the shit. End of story.

[brandonelly1]

tim has more personality flair and creativity in his left nut than brain samk26  DUMBASS

[Misteryowl]

@brandonelly1

That's true! If you're a moronic skeleton! Well done!

[Misteryowl]

@brandonelly1 Please continue to split my aching sides... Ahhahahahahahhahaahhaahahahaha­!

[Abgulu]

tim and brain are completely different.

brain is way more hip-hop, and listen to this, plays more singles and doesn't fuck with ostinatos as much.

tim on the other hand is an excellent melodic drummer, original, and a more technical drummer.

brain would get a studio job over tim any day. tim's ideas are way less conventional, and very psychedellic.

[timpbailey]

brain sucks. he plays the same beat over and over...super generic.

[carlossisco]

You want a groove drummer, check Stanton Moore assholes

[morrron5]

@carlossisco or benny greb !

[carlossisco]

@morrron5 Benny Greb = Awesome

[morrron5]

@carlossisco true



[carlossisco]

Superstar drummer? what the fuck are you thinking

[flipknut]

Whoa Danny Carey is my favorite technical drummer and Brian Mantia is now my favorite groove drummer.

[neurocosm]

That's an awesome hat. 

[itsgaythatyourgay]

Brains style is a lot like Chad Smith's from the Peppers

[slumbody]

@itsgaythatyourgay

somewhat, when they get funky. I would say Chad Smith and Brain are both very underrated as far as what youtube kiddies think of them watching a few videos on here. Chad Smith has a lot of skill outside of RHCP, loads of different chops, as well as Brain.

[Slinkysees]

who is the idiot 2nd camera man? Oh are you shooting footage, let me step in front of you not once but TWICE. Moron

[danielthibault]

sti vive brian tabarnak...

[GoGoNards]

probly my most favorite drummer

[kofikenghis33]

homeboy kunta kinte is jammin

[TylerM89t]

I respect brain as a drummer, anyone who can drum a  Primus album I give props to.

[eskimoposh]

Brain's good 'n all....but he's a horrible clinician drummer.

What's with the whole "just goin' off" crap???

[LBC6893]

whats a clinician drummer

[eskimoposh]

When a musician does a clinic, he/she is showcasing their style and overall approach to their instrument. They'll usually give tips on warm ups, technique, rudimental work and also give tips on 'making it' in the music industry.

NONE of this was done by Brain. He's like a really cool private teacher that can play well. But has absolutely no idea how to run a clinic.

[seekauwillfinda]

Eskimopost: STFU, go play in traffic, do us all a goddamn favor, Stop polluting YouTube with your stupid dribble, okay?

[mrTooKanSam]

acutally eskimopost has great reason, but, I dont think this was a clinic

[nirvanafrik]

maybe because he's not running a clinic AND the full name of the DVD is "The Worst Drum Instructional DVD Ever".

[skunch]

That other camera man would not stop moving lol

[mission100uk]

nice swing dude.. love it

[drummernezzy]

Mike Johnston's the best teacher ever ! Everyone look him up!

[Nateytracks]

On  youtube maybe.

[emperorles]

You, have, reached, El ee as, at 7 5 4 7 4 3 1.

[NAHORY1]

I believe you are right about groove, nonetheless, I do not believe He's a proper teacher, playing and fooling around does not really mean "teaching", although he definitely has got a nice groove.

[ECDCXL]

That motherfucker with the camera kept getting in front you. You shoulda split his fucking skull in half.

[butchlester]

i love brains energy in the drumming

[gnrlover]

total agre

[soapalot]

Was that the beat to Shake Hands With Beef?

[goodOLDbabyKISSES]

no but shake hands with beef is played with a simple 2 4 beat.

[MarcBurnsThatBarn]

There is no point comparing both drummers, they´re far too different, personally I dig Brain´s style, it´s more like a "fuck you let´s play" attitude

[samk26]

Tim Alexander has no personality and it shows in his playing, solid but no flare.... you put him on a 4 piece kit and 2 cymbals he won't know what to do.... way too mechanical. Brain is all about groove and thats what counts -no matter what he's playing on.

[baronofsita]

Tim does actually play a 4 piece kit and holds it pretty well!

Comparing both drummers is pretty useless. Both have their own strong feeling. I really disliked the entire Brain era with Primus, I started to appriciate him with El Stew!

But I still think their's more to learn about in Tim's playing!

[bigsheist]

totally agree

[boothole312]

You didn't like Antipop? Thats gotta be my favorite Primus album after Frizzle Fry.

[BIGCJMCNASTY]

El Stew! is fun on a bun

I liked The Brown Album a whole lot it was deeper and darker.

But opinions are like assholes everybody has one.

[crazykillah911]

@samk26 dont even talk shit on tim dude he has personality do you know him personally tims crazy man

[goodOLDbabyKISSES]

@samk26 i have never heard a better comment on youtube in my live you have brought a tear to my eye.

[wretchedSTONER]

@samk26--Mechanical isn't the right word. Technical. Tim is more technical, Brain is more groove oriented. But they are both phenomenal...........

[toolkills]

@samk26 tim herbs playing lacks flair?!?!....i couldnt disagree more.....brain is awesome but tim herb is easily one of the more inventive and skilled drummers of our time....i also dont wanna get into whos better...there both  amazing...but saying tim herb has no personality and his playing feels mechanical is just wrong

[morrron5]

@samk26 lol that comment suck balls XD tim is technically 1000000000 time better than brain , who care of the personality , he's a drumming beast ! he also 1000000 more solid than Brian. i don't know how he is out of primus but in primus i prefer tim . ''Brain is all about groove and thats what counts'' man he's not groovin' that much , he's always playing the same rythm in 4/4. such a good drummer tought but Tim beat him .

[toolkills]

@samk26 WOW...i disagree with you sooooooo much steam is shooting out of my ears right now

[BigWill2k]

@samk26 oh come on dont simplify! i love brain but for example jon the fisherman, my name is mud, too many puppies shows Tim can groove without alot of drums. Plus his middle name is flare.

[GingieMalmsteen]

@samk26 to express urself through a drumkit is a fukin hard thing. but they can both do it. they r both fukin good drummers. u obviously prefer brain but u cant put someone equaly as good down to make your favourite seem better. how tha fuk can u say that tim dont have flare, stop readin this reply and look at john the fisherman. look at jerry was a race car driver, look at tommy the cat! how tha fuk is that mechanical they are both fukin good and just cuz u like brain better, dont say tims shit

[carini7487]

@GingieMalmsteen your naming all the most popular primus tunes with herb, dude check out eleven off of sailing the seas of cheese, tell me theres no flare or anything out of the ordinary lol, tim is one of the best drummers out there, brain yea hes a good drummer but to the kid that said tims shit has no idea about music and will never learn

[Misteryowl]

@samk26 Abso-bloody-exactly!

[jcummings2112]

not a fan of the dw flat stands

[costamesa22]

I agree it's always been about the dw 9000 series stands or nothing for me.

[andy500120]

he's an average drummer,most drummers can"groove"haha,that's their job,herb however can"groove"and make it interesting with his technical capability it 's a fuckin poor excuse to use"groove"as a substitute for for ability.

[orjyazm]

u realise hes trying to teach kids here, right?

groove isnt substitute for ability, groove IS an ability.

yes, tim could shred all over brain in a solo or technically, but i find that what brain gives to les's riffs is amazing.

hes easily above average.

[andy500120]

i do realise he's teaching kids,me comments weren't really directed at this.He does big himself up on the "groove" thing though.

[orjyazm]

haha yeah he does too. as long as u appreciate him as a drummer

[Marianobass]

I like both... is better for me, ja

[mattmartmale]

Tim is solid, Brain f*n jams...

[youthmovement]

i grew up watching brain play a set w/ Limbomaniacs and then Tim/Herb with Primus and every night i'd go home scratching my head asking who was the better drummer. i've decided there is no correct answer. just a matter of taste. on top of being a world-class drummer, Brain's also one helluva guy, sharing the knowledge with the kids of Youth Movement Records.

[maplecustom99]

I like herb better

[mayhemlee]

then why are you watching a video of Brain dipshit?

[maplecustom99]

cause I like em too

just like herb better

[TheLostinadream]

@youthmovement Difficult to say, in my opinion there is no cometition between ANY musician, each is unique.. But i would perhaps say that Brain is more of a groover and perhaps Tim is more Techniqual.

Either way, love both drummers!!!!

[outlaw6066]

Brain is a very awesome player. Doesn't matter about the comparison to Tim or anyone else. Everyone has their own style and Brain is unique in his own way. What amazes me is that he re-recorded Josh Freeses' GN'R Chinese Democracy drum tracks note for note. Now thats just crazy. Goes to show u how talented he is. Much respect to Brian Mantia.

[goodOLDbabyKISSES]

Right on!! but its Bryan "Brain" mantia

[nissanit]

Blaa Blaa Blaa And he is SO good drummer? No even close to Tim. But Brown Album was a good album, and that is lot of brains fault. But Brain don't have same skill level.

[jazzmonkeycarpet]

its equal skill level pretty much just opinion from there

[gravybiscuits57]

damn, that shit was right

[checkabreak]

probably on my top 10 brilliant brain

[TNJesusLuvr]

shit yeah brain plays drums.
