I love this guy so much....Number one achieving this level of skill having been a self taught drummer is amazing! And two he is such a nice guy! I love nice guys. Sure he isnt the best drummer who ever lived ( who is?) But he writes inteligent drum licks that compliment the songs and he plays them well. what more can you ask for. and you gotta love that heel toe kick technique. wish i had some longboards
Best thing i love about this video is that you honestly couldnt tell if this was a guitar clinic or a drum clinic....Why? because everyone in the band is flat out amazing at what they do and thats why Lamb of God is the best pure american metal band....hands down...fuck i got chills in the end...love the rumbling...
im 16 i live in long island im trying to get tickets to logs show on jan. 24 2012.Its in the city though on a school nite my parents will never let me go.please help i need a good lie to tell them where i am. comments appreciated.
@log6587 you can buy the same size, his is a special size which is slightly bigger than 7a and its by pro mark, they're light but they're longer and he adds even more reach by holding it at the end of the stick which is a little bit weird because it makes doing rolls a little harder :| but he's a mad dog so it doesnt matter.
I love the ride part! When I play this part I am constantly getting a cramp :D hard as shit but very funny to play :D That is what I love about Chris - his drum parts sound very great and unique and funny to play :)
check out my drumcover of Reclamation if you like :)
@ragesfb Dude, you're retarded. If you think you can do better, do it. people like you piss me off because you're so ignorant when it comes to great musicians because you don't know shit about music.
dude you know how this goes its youtube dumb faggots always gotta talk shit bout the good shit an praise the incredibly bad shit that ragesfb dude is prolly some justin bieber fan hatin on a great drummer like adler just bc bieber cant accomplish anything good musically!!
Damn I thought only the cropped version of this video was on YouTube before. Thanks for uploading! Great example of less is more. Adler is obviously not as technical as someone like George Kollias but his drumming suits the music really well and he's got great feel.
are the rumors of matt halpern giving chris lessons true? if so then i think lamb of god's next album is going to have lots of math metal influence in it
joey jordison = chris adler. they're both equally amazing. tracks like the faded line show how dynamic and intricate adler is, and songs like vermilion show how well joey can lace a song together. dont know why we have to have the dumb argument of who is better. and really it never comes down to who's better its always "joey sucks" or vise-versa. umm false, they're both truly special.
What makes Chris unique is the fact that he's a left handed player who decided 'fuck a lefty kit, I'm going to learn to play right handed'.
Which is why he leads his flams with his left but his kick flams with his right foot. Because he fucking can and that opens up a shitload of other beat possibilities.
bear in mind that chris is left handed playing a right handed kit. and he also used to play guitar. There is no sch thing as "best drummer" but id say Chris Adler is up there because i dont see a lot of people playing their instruments with the opposite hand
For those of you making comparisons between Chris and any other drummer you think is faster.. Let me lay this out on the table for you. George Kollias can play the speeds Chris is with one foot; back when the Rev was still around, he received best drummer award beating out Vinnie, Brann, Chris, Joey, you name it. Stop making comparisons based on your opinions, they are all great drummers.
@RthereNEusernames Speed is not the most important thing in metal believe it or not lmfao. Maybe George can do Blast beats and 300 double bass all day... but i havent seen him do much else. Dont get me wrong hes a great drummer but he does not mix it up like Adler does which is why Adler is higher up in my book.
thank you chris adler for making beats that I can actually stand to listen to and not just shit metal like most bands where the drummer just tries to play fast shit to impress people
@SWEdrummer95 LOL joey wouldnt be able to 0:48 if he was depended on it he would be like "what do i do i have no emotion in my drumming and theres accents oh shit this is impossible"
@SWEdrummer95 Joey Jordison has nothing on Chris Adler, bass bpm isnt everything, this dude has the most skill and feeling for the instrument since Vinnie Paul Abbot
First off. Nick Menza > Vinnie Abbott. FUCK Vinnie. SECONDLY, Megadeth are a bigger influence on Chris Adler, personally, than Pantera. LoG may have some more groove metal riffs that will remind you of Pantera. But all the same. Hence staying away from the radio. Course, Pantera were influenced by Megadeth and look how shitty that turned out. Gigantour 2 DVD. Chris talks about LoG touring with Megadeth. "Just to tour with Megadeth, who are a huge influence on what it is that *I* do, anyway."
I freaking looooooooooooove this song...Blood of the Scribe, What I've Become, Ashes of the Wake, and Another Nail For Your Coffin...my favorites, but this album is just perfect from beginning to end. LAMB OF GOD RUUUUUUUUUUULES!!!
