[hiimlogan84]

[Bdrumcovers]

1:11 Guy in back in shirt thinks he can play with Adam Gray.

[kbjunior1]

I'm just going to thumbs up the top comment because everyone else is doing it

lolzors

[DOMINICDOMINICHI]

that crowd sucks my dick :P

[godjesusmoses]

@DOMINICDOMINICHI With a name like Dominic Dominichi I don't think anyone does kid. 

[DOMINICDOMINICHI]

@godjesusmoses your funny, my name is bob frank son of MR. frank, fuck off.

[godjesusmoses]

@DOMINICDOMINICHI First of all, its you're*** I guess "Mr. Frank" couldn't afford to enroll you in school or are you just dumb? Please don't say it's Youtube so I don't have to pay attention to my grammer, because you SHOULD know the difference between your, you're and their, they're and there. Everybody knows that, it's stuff you learn in elementary school. Tonnes of originality and beauty in the name "Bob Frank". I think "Bob Frank" may actually sound worse than Dominic Dominichi.

[RETROinversion186]

why are they not playing in front of at least 200 people each time O.o ?

[BrandonSteczDrumz]

@RETROinversion186 Sometimes, you don't have to always play a big show. It's about the fans, not the money.

[BoundToFail]

dude is killin it

[UnderComandoftheKing]

i think da people thinking the "hard hat" is stupid but dont think about how its a joke about him being 2 good for his own safety haha

[XBLToig]

Anyone know what china that is?

[ABRxFTW04]

@XBLToig not too sure, but i think its a Zildjian Oriental China

[ajwilkins900]

@XBLToig 18in Zildjian Oriental Trash

[tom4sbastian]

[ashtonhallable1]

hahaha he almost dropped it

[LoganJacob01]

someone else wrote this on another video of his, but it makes me laugh every time i watch a video and see that kid in the sweater. "the best time to wear a striped sweater" haha

[Hammy0924]

as a drummer, I have no idea how he never hit the ride the whole song

[godjesusmoses]

@Hammy0924

He's just that good, lol.

[TheSerenitytaker]

Haha 32:seconds (SWIPER NO SWIPING)

[campadonico954]

Is that a 13inch snare hes using im not sure...

[SabianBoy1]

@campadonico954 yea it is

[MrFunkMunker]

the best time to wear a striped sweater...

[SabianBoy1]

@MrFunkMunker way to copy comments noob

[TheDustin9]

too bad matt griener for ABR is better though :)

[solidsnakec20]

@TheDustin9 they are the same they even look alike LOL

[gatorben13]

the crowd sucked 

[75dimitris]

i never had a problem with texas in july but i really cannot understand something..i mean, why are they SO similar to August Burns Red? Look Adam Gray for example. He is just like Matt Greiner. He has the same posture, almost same cymbals, same way of organizing his drums and almost same way of playing

[jamcow3]

@75dimitris yeah, The posture is the most comfortable and healthy to drum in. Straight back, almost all arms. 90 degree at the hips and knees. And the set up is all just preference and most comfortable for the style of music. It's what I would prefer too tbh.

[75dimitris]

@jamcow3 i didn't disagree. i have the same posture while playing and pretty similar drumset but don't tell me you cannot recognize the similarities between adam and matt!

[jamcow3]

@75dimitris I know! I'm not calling you out. And I don't deny that they are insanely similar. I'm glad they are. ABR is hands down my fav band, and I enjoy watching either of them drum any time.

[godjesusmoses]

@75dimitris

They're really good friends. They both have perfect posture because they are basically perfect drummers. They feed off each other and learn from one another. I really don't see how you couldn't understand that, I guess you must be stupid/dumb/slow/mentally handicapped etc. I really don't see how the bands are similar. Compare their latest records, and if you still think they sound like one another, once again, you're stupid/dumb/slow/mentally handicapped etc. Good day sir.

[75dimitris]

@godjesusmoses 1. no one said they're not both great drummers or bands. or at least , not me. and i know they're both friends etc but i saw many similarities between those two.

2. i believe that the reason they are not so similar now is because of "Leveler". still love both of them :)

3. next time, try being a bit more polite. Trust me, it doesn't hurt.

Goodnight mrs.

[godjesusmoses]

@75dimitris

I'm pretty sure its unbearably painful to be polite, my bad.

[XChugChugX]

3:10 - 3:14. Sickkkk

[speedfreek200]

They're so much like August Burns Red, it's retarded! Haha

[sk8orhateit]

@speedfreek200 they were taught by ABR -.-

[astralluminous1]

0:36 he hits the crash so fast you cant see it

[CommanderDaz]

@astralluminous1 LOL

[JR0dz]

@astralluminous1 lmfao

[thesilph]

@astralluminous1 oh man I laughed hard

[xXDrumSnareXx]

130 china hits! Man I love hardcore music!!

[CrAD7861]

He hardly ever uses his hard hat.

[TheBbaks]

@CrAD7861 haha high hat you mean?

[Nate1250]

@TheBbaks you mean hi hat?

[drummer4life2014]

@TheBbaks you mean Hi hat? tool.

[arsewankerbr0]

@TheBbaks No, is the hi hat high?

Its HI HAT

[mutilatedbabies]

@TheBbaks hahaha you mean pie fat?

[godjesusmoses]

@CrAD7861

Do you know of any metal drummers that use their hi hats alot? Because I don't think I do, to be honest.

[mattisnotuncool]

@godjesusmoses Not closed at least.

[biohazardph]

@CrAD7861 Why would you use high hats when you have an Oriental China?

[shutthehellup6666]

dear adam gray i wish i could go to your house and rape your drumset violently!!!!

[godjesusmoses]

Thats what I first thought when i discovered them(TIJ). At first, you just gotta get past the vocals, I'm not a big fan of Alex's vocals, however they have improved alot on their newest album.

[HCMetalhead2010]

I personally dont care for Texas in July, But i love Adams playing. i think he'd be better suited for a different band. Just my opinion im sure people are going to hate on me but whatever. I respect them as christians but they just arent entirely my cup of tea i guess i dont care for their vocalist to much is the reason.

[HeroXofXTime21]

Bassist looks like he's doin some kind of hardstyle jumpstylin shit at the beginning

[SylarTheBest]

When I'm watching this video I think I have a notification on Facebook

[CommanderDaz]

@SylarTheBest LOL i was thinking "wtfs he on about" then i saw the title

[AboutItalia]

there bassist is a clown.. adam grays the shit.

[jozie2009]

whoever dislikes this video is pretty fucking sad? whats not to like?? texas in july is one of the sickest bands. and adam gray is a sick ass drummer. haterz lol

[jamcow3]

TIJ has some of the BEST endings to songs I've ever heard. SOO full of power and just fun to listen to. The stops, then spikes and the china. *chills

[MaxWearsPrada]

Does anyone know what size stick he uses?

[ImaFnNinja]

@MaxWearsPrada Vater 3A's



[E7Horizon]

Great venue.,.....

[iShouldBeKnow]

Pause at 0:31 thats the look of a god.

[smouthee]

@iShouldBeKnow he's THOR with stickdrums!!

[smouthee]

@iShouldBeKnow he's THOR with stickdrums

[msinghera43]

adam fucks ur brain at 30 seconds

[TeffingB1]

1:08-1:17 triggered the explosion of semen

[TheEmptyfox]

God damn. What the hells wrong with kids these days? Sure he can play somewhat, but this shit sucks..

[jeffkenevil]

I am really surprised his right arm isnt bigger than his left, from hitting the crash so much!

[preggoeggo69]

so now by this time i can say im responsible for at least a thousand views :O

[mus18ic]

Adam looks at us at 0:30 and tells us yea i know im a badass

[OBTscratchythroat]

0:36 tries to catch a fly on the crash while playing

[ccoreybarkleyy]

Omg Adam looks right at the camera at 0:30 gave me chills ;/

[mus18ic]

@ccoreybarkleyy

he is just looking at us and saying yea i know im a badass

[xE4syCoreX]

he's such an AMAZING drummer :)

[preggoeggo69]

GO gay for Adam Gray!

[preggoeggo69]

Both of you guys fuckin suck. Jump on youtube to WATCH instead of talking shit...dumbasses.

[x1ic1x]

@preggoeggo69

Suck a cock.

[preggoeggo69]

@x1ic1x Never again bro!

[chop9suey]

They successfully cloned Matt Greiner

[thisguy1469]

I like how the fag in the fruity sweater tries to air drum. haha

You can't be like Adam Gray.

[knexems]

@4Bold trust me they're beefy. they're 19 and 18 inches haha

[gsx4g63t]

does anyone know what kind of drum rack adam uses? thanks!

[jerma7x]

@gsx4g63t Looks like a Gibraltar Curved.

[ryzorzen]

Neil Pert rules, but really AC/DC ?! hahaha you don't know what you're talking about, you're just beating your chest to get your opinion out.

[JakeTheDrummer18]

yes, finally a drummer that uses a drum rack instead of trying to put all these mini boom arms off of the crashes and stuff!

[x1ic1x]

Terrible "Drumming" it looks like random strumming.

[godjesusmoses]

@x1ic1x

How does his druming look like random strumming?

[x1ic1x]

@godjesusmoses

It sounds like random strumming hell, it probably is!

[bimlbatz]

@x1ic1x nope it isn't he knows exactly what he is doing and he plays it exactly like on the record

[x1ic1x]

@bimlbatz

Look up Joey Jordison sound check and compare and contrast.

[bimlbatz]

@x1ic1x oh noo not a joey jordison fan boy. are you actually playing drums yourself ? because i do, for 8 years now, intensive, and there is nothing i love more, so let me tell you, joey jordsion is a good drummer, but thats it, a good drummer, nothing special at all, and i know his soundcheck, everybody does and what he is playing there are just the simplest things ever played a little bit faster, but its wether a difficult timing to play, nor its komplex. you see/hear it and you know in

[bimlbatz]

@x1ic1x minute what he is doing. with adam gray its completely different, he plays a lot of his grooves off beat, his fills and breaks are insane, i need to watch them about 20 times till i know every hit and the song/video where we are commenting right now, "it's not my first rodeo" is one of his easiest, if you watch "elements", "reflections", "lancaster" oder "uncivilized" you can probably understand what i mean, unless you are a drummer, if not it makes no sense to tell you all this

[bimlbatz]

@x1ic1x because you have no idea of drumming. drummers who are reeeeeeally good are aaron spears, jojo mayer, stanton moore or benny greb. check THEM out, not joey jordison. I'm just so sick and tired of people who think joey jordison is soooooo good because he is playing the double bass really fast. and sry if my english isn't that good, i'm from austria

[x1ic1x]

@bimlbatz

Also, Dave Lombardo would rip this kid's face off and tear it to shreds. Neil Peart as well.

I never said anything about speed I just said that it's terrible strumming there isn't any rhythm what so ever!

[bimlbatz]

@x1ic1x but thats the thing, there is rythm, but a very strange one ! perhaps you feel that way because you can barely hear the bass drum in this video, check out the recording from the CD. dave lombardo is a even worser example then joey jordison. shure, he is a legendary drummer and his drumming influenced the metal drumming scene a loooot, but adam has a 10 times better technique, more groove and the most important thing: creativity, you are saying this barley knowing (adam grays) drumming.

[x1ic1x]

@bimlbatz

That's because he is fucking trash! All new bands are shit. I highly suggest you listen to AC/DC since they came from your country then you'll know what rhythm is.

[bimlbatz]

@x1ic1x Am i understanding you right ? you are saying because adam uses more komplex rythms than dave lombardo and joey jordison, he is trash ? I kinda don't get you, but I give up, it makes absolutely no sense to talk to people like you... and AC/DC is just using the fucking simplest, straight rythms in the world, their drummer is the worst i've ever seen, and their rythm the most boring and easy

[x1ic1x]

@bimlbatz

Lmao complex? you can't even spell it right illiterate moron. I don't get it either you think Adam Gray is the best drummer in the world? lol you must be stupid.

[bimlbatz]

@x1ic1x well, as I said I'm from austria, in german your write it with a "K" instead of a "C", but I'd like to see you talking german fatty ;) I don't think he is the best drummer in the world and I never said so, I just think he is a whole lot better than joey jordison or dave lombardo. and please, don't try to tell real musicians something about rythm unless you can play more than the first 25 seconds of "master of puppets" ;) yes I watched your shitty little video, hetfield would be ashamed

[x1ic1x]

@bimlbatz

Well tell those faggots to learn proper grammar. I'm not from Germany illiterate. Your saying he is better than REAL METAL drummers so no other words were needed. That was a 3:00 in the morning can't you read? But hey at least I CAN PLAY AN INSTRUMENT! you fail hardcore you are talking about music but you can't even fucking play HA! You shame the human race!

[bimlbatz]

@x1ic1x Can't you read ? I already said I play drums for 8 years. I'll load up some drumming videos in the next two weeks, I'll send you a link to them. I don't care if you'll watch them or not.

[bimlbatz]

@x1ic1x alright, I have no problem with that xD but like I said, in about 2 - 3 weeks

[x1ic1x]

@bimlbatz

I'll be waiting.

[x1ic1x]

@bimlbatz

I'll be waiting. Shout out my channel name in them or they're fake.

[bimlbatz]

@x1ic1x okay!

[DaeDrums777]

@x1ic1x okay you're just completely wrong. Adam Gray SHITS on joey jordison.

[x1ic1x]

@DaeDrums777

You're mother slammed you against the wall when you were born correct?

[DaeDrums777]

@x1ic1x nope. hop off joey jordisons dick bro (;

[DaeDrums777]

@x1ic1x and learn to play your instrument before you bash someone else who knows how to play theirs.

[x1ic1x]

@DaeDrums777

Dude, shut the fuck up! You covered a jonas brothers song! xD you fucking fail!!!

[DaeDrums777]

@x1ic1x and you couldnt even play metallica. atleast i played the song halfway decent (: your like 14, gtfo. :p

[x1ic1x]

@DaeDrums777

I did play Metallica faggot! Haha you're fucking sad you know what you're a waste of time. FYI i'm old enough to be you're father (18) I probably am you're father because she's a fucking whore!

[DaeDrums777]

@x1ic1x lol i doubt your 18. old enough to be my father? im 17. im done wasting brain cells on you dude. peace.

[x1ic1x]

@DaeDrums777

I am retard how are you gonna tell me? You're 17 and listen to Jonas Fuckers? Shame just never post a comment on ANY music video ever again.

[Fr1dl]

@bimlbatz i kind of agree, but trust the acdc drummer beats the shit out of those drums and some people can play fast, but the cant play tight. he does

[bimlbatz]

@Fr1dl yeah yeah I know, I mainly said that because I was sooo angry because of that jerk haha. You are completely right, I think that playing tight and in time is a lot more important than being fast or technical, but adam is just really good in playing tight AND technical, and he just turned 19! so saying he is "terrible" at drumming just isn't right.

[Fr1dl]

@bimlbatz thats true. adam has great technique and is very tight and solid. he is absolutely great and amazing

[pastywhiteamerican91]

@x1ic1x haha joey jordison is nothing but generic mainstream punk rock.

[x1ic1x]

@pastywhiteamerican91

Rofl. I'm pretty sure he plays authentic HEAVY FUCKIN METAL! Unlike this poser band.

[preggoeggo69]

@x1ic1x Go find some diapers baby ass nigga!

[x1ic1x]

@preggoeggo69

Fuck off pussy.

[preggoeggo69]

@x1ic1x good comeback! go paint your fingernails baby back bitch:)

[preggoeggo69]

@x1ic1x But it sounds godly!! just deal with it chica..

[ggmsfdg]
