MUTEMATH Studio Vlog: Light Drums

[Cali35Latin]

Tight playing Darren! Northern Lights are blinking

[wdjd555]

The only people who could possibly dislike this are drummers who only wish they were as good as him.

[TheAzulureus]

The people that disliked this were jumping in joy, slipped and clicked the dislike button, and had a concussion. Too much?

[kkmatt]

omg. i think i almost forgot to breathe at some point. darren king is amazin!!!!!

[abcdog350]

he really lights up a room.. haha i know corny..

[drummerboy7227]

hiw did u do that?

[Soulrebal01]

*speechless*

[TheJelloMaster]

This is my mind. THIS is my mind after watching this barrell of pure, unfiltered awesome: KAAAABLOOOIE!!!

[Sk8erboy9394]

too too sick XD

[drenchd]

super cooooooooool.

[RA710]

How do u get lights like that?

[jdmcali1]

is it true hes deaf?

[whosebad94]

@jdmcali1 no he isn't where did u hear that from?

[hopeinathought]

@jdmcali1

no :) he's not

[CurlySpice1]

AWESOME!

[legodavid]

I love the Mutemath drummer.

[IINodataII]

great!

[ichiseo]

sick

[22luke11]

hes playing with 3 drumsticks! cool

[ChickenDownloads]

just goes to show you don't need a million drums to sound awesome.

[inka197]

crazy;]

[Goldenvisions]

The drumming is cool and all, but let's be honest, this vid would be nothing without that amazing hat..

[wheresbicki]

is that a black towel over his snare?

[Freeskikid8]

yeah it gives it a cool muted sound sorta. try it. i personally use a bandana

[theprincedylan12]

i think it was the clapper lights

[gofusiesbass09]

How was this done?

[skull2fire]

that was incredible. just wow.

[mutemathrox]

yeah, Darren is a rare drummer, those lights probably had a hard time keeping up

[inbtwntwostates]

i seriously don't think I've gone a day without listening to at least one MuteMath song for 4 years! It's like I need their music to make my day complete :)

[TKTuMuFuWH]

that's realy cool. 8-)

[serta123456]

SSIIICCCK! how'd he managed to get the lights linked up to the whole drum rhythm thing?

[poopchunk3]

clapper lights, dumbass

[breakingbloodvessels]

finally some ingenuity

[lilworkerb]

Why aren't these guys more popular!?!? This guy......is awesome!

[mikehayesmusic]

DUDE. i know. mutemath is amazing. ive seen this video bout the band. and they all say that they dont wanna be on the radio because they know that their music is gonna be over played. so they dont let ppl put them on the radio HAHA

[mrwangchang]

@lilworkerb these guys are famous and they have been for some time

[ChewyWiener]

fucking awesome.

[DrumAndRose]

Imagine the same thign on the 175 BPM Vlog... LIGHT AND LIGHT AGAIN! :)

[culbers2]

During live shows he'll often start playing random things on stage, its a trick Buddy Rich invented. Darren King is for sure one of the best drummers to come around in a long time, in both style and innovation.

[chive34]

Thats cool. check out my youtube for videos of my self powered light drums. we should collaborate.

[xnahelio1]

crazzzyyy i wanna learn how ta play now

[leNaLWss]

He is soooo hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Curruptid]

That be really cool when they go on tour again, they have this kind of set. lights go on/off when drummer is playing.

[tymytie]

whoa... probably the most innovative drummer.

[capecodairsofter]

greatest drummer right next to the drummer from August Burns Red!

[darklight1030]

Travis Barker?

[inyo92]

Sucks Right!

[SoapSudz101]

wtf r u serious??

has anybody heard of rush before??

[Danwynne]

what the hell!?!?

[soupdz28]

drummer from dave mathews band is amazing too... even though the music isnt.. the drummer is incredible

[DS6FILMS]

Mind you this guy doesn't even use a double bass... I'm sure Darren King is WAY better from the guy from August Burns Red... then again... they are different types of music, but still. Darren is WAY better.

[samx919]

@capecodairsofter Uhhh...this guy is way better. Coming from a drummer...Darren is probably the best drummer i've ever heard.

[cnhops13]

awsomness

[TheRealAngie83]

Why does everyone think his name is Brandon its Darren...

[MyNameIsTobias]

Super cool :)

[gourmetlunch]

Does anyone know the font used?

[coreysyms]

most likely helvetica neue light..

or a squished version of microgramma

[AlloraLang]

Now that was cool!

[MercuryClock]

Fuckin' modern-day Neil Peart right here.

[britochico]

my new favourite band

[Taokatoamv]

you see brandon has so much fun while playing drums. that makes me facking happy, and i'm so excited of the new album! go Mute math x3333333333

[Sebastianscanes]

Brandon isn't the drummer

[CoheedMars90]

The guy's name is Darren.....

[ashthought]

[kyjello12]

[KristinaO910]

[BlackFire686]

[Gbaby90rapman]

[heavyheavylowlow18]

[halsfoshiz]

[brysonlozano7]

sooooo sick... nothing more to say

[sixstringalchemist]

darren is the most technically sound drummer i've ever heard. i'm not trying to take away from the greats...i'm just saying this cause i think darren is sick!

[styx529]

now that was a solo

[markbass305]

Screw the lights, that beat is killer.

[marilouetalex]

Sweet!

[Devinopps]

will someone please tell me what that drumstick with the tambourine jingle on it is called?! i've been looking forever and can't find anything..

[thegman444]

:-O

[wOOdOwn]

Oh Yeah!!!

[jrqberry]

nothing but a hi-hat, snare and tom.  nice.

[Pulse120]

In my oppinion, this guy is, without a doubt, the best drummer of his time.

[swarm63]

google thomas lang

[drenchd]

is he the drummer of bloc party?

[Wickydeviking]

nope

[axelrodjohnson]

google keith carlock

[buttcheese96]

no Darren King is better, Mute Math drummer, ALL HAIL KING DARREN!

[jumpintoyourmind]

come on!! what other drummer could beat his drum with such poise and grace? HE IS THE REAL DEAL

[delugefan51]

all big rock bands have the biggest drum set (not that its bad) but darren can tear it up with so little

[DATTSinc]

How does it work???

That is extremely amazing and coool

[ErisNApple]

How can I describe this?

I can't.... xD

[MercuryClock]

Darren never ceases to amaze me. They are seriously the most creative band around today.

You guys need to release a region two version of your Flesh And Bones DVD. England thinks you rock. =)

[thewackyweirdo]

[DigitalBlankGamer]

Awesome Beat. Should be in a new album.

[MagicianGreen]

he just had 3 drums in the beginning! sick!

[TrevorScott]

I also enjoyed the chandelier

[TrevorScott]

they should just do all their show lights like this.. that would be crazy

[DearInsanity]

interesting idea, it'd be awesome if you could do something like this in concert.

[xMikeDezzyx421]

[xkollaps]

[King31395]

SUCH a cool idea!!!

So cool!!! Killer job!!!

[sharrkmaster]

Omg, that was friggen awesome. Amazing. And cool visual effects.

And yes, he did have 3 drum sticks.. with little tambourine-like cymbals on one of them.. haha nice.

Awesome drummer.

[footbalmonstr]

Pretty sweet stuff guys

[wheredoeaglesdare]

awesome

[perilouspete]

just sick. definitely put a big smile on my face.

[tlandry24]

fucking champion

[buttcheese96]

did he have 3 drum sticks in the beginning?

[ashesofguilt]

yeah, one on the hi-hat, one on the rim with a shaker on it, and one on the snare head. pretty BA. haha

[jeffstoesz13]

he had 3, one for the high hat, one for the snare and another that was rim shotting/making at hollow sound

[Reisgar42]

I think one wasn't a drum stick, but he was definitely holding two things in one hand and hitting drums/cymbals with them both.

[mbs240]

yaaa

[kvee]

how do you hook the drums up to your lights like that thats cool... can somebody explain how

[SignatureByMikePL]

[kvee]

[cdawg435]

[luuc777]

[girlboycomment]

Kill

[gaberuski]

I always come back to these videos in search of more hints for the album.

I'm so excited these things are the things that will be on the album (most of the stuff you have showed us fans).

I know your work will exceed my expectations! Keep your Confidence up!

[clownworth]

That was honestly one of the coolest thing I've ever seen! I can't wait any longer for this album to come out!!!!

[swissclerk]

That was great! Very cool. Very artsy.

[thebestdrummerfla]

[ZeldaKicksAss]

what a fucking beast

[gongmin98]

so crazy

[Strike86]

Sounds slightly tropical at the beginning there. Loving the hat, too. Makes Darren look like Yahtzee Croshaw. :P

[RockOfVictory]

I've never seen such a creative scene setup and "music video" in a documentary! I don't know which one I'm anticipating the release of more: the album or the "making of" DVD.

[transportamerica]

the first word that popped into my head was amazing

[DelightinWeakness]

AMAZING!

[giwastar]

Imaginative drumming!

[TheSteve1919]

Best drummer that I've ever seen.

[dandartabor]

both mentally and emotionally orgasmic

[terrordactyI]

CRAZY!!!

[lwoloschuk]

Not sure if im right, but if hes got triger sensors on his drums he could be using a MIDI show control triggered by his drums?? I have always wanted to build a metronome that works like that.

[FarahHamzi7]

Geniuses never die.

[oofighter2010]

no way i do that double stick thing too

[jongewehr]

i think hes just holding to sticks , looks like one has some kinda tambourine thing on it , but mess around with holding to sticks on your hand , i found how he does it

[jongewehr]

opps i miss read your post lol

[drenchd]

damndamndamn awesome!

[ThemFunnyLookinGuys]

Darren just keeps amazing me!

[ohrecklesstilly]

SO. FREAKING.  AWESOME

[halfeatenthought]

This would be a really cool thing to do live, if somehow you could hook up something wicked awesome. Cool stuff!

[Eyghon88]

Energy

Crisis

[totbl530]

it would be amazing to light a room like that with people over.. someone playing the drums to keep the lights on:)

[Kristenn7]
