  • You have no freaking idea how bad I want his snare. mmmmmmmmm

  • Like if u noticed them feet up in the right corner! Epic drummer<3 \m/

  • What cymbal is that underneath blakes hi-hats? I really like the sound and I WANT! :[] can't find it on sabian, and Sabian wont show me his artist profile either! PLease someone? lol

  • What drums is he using ?

  • @Effekt99 Watch a clip of them live, I think he uses Tama drums

  • This is always so much fun to watch.

  • Jesse is gay.

  • AUGMENT OF REBIRTH DRUMS...enter that shit in your search bar, watch him now

  • 0:18 FOR THE SIMPLE IDEA OF CHEESEBURGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The rolls at 1:32 are pretty damn hard for me to actually play, I was trying to learn this until I realized I cant do that quite yet.

  • First time I've come across you guys, fucking brilliant stuff!!

  • @cunnerzzz this is the first stuff you have heard? hahahaha ahve you heard all of Colors as one piece? or all of this album? or ther older stuff...my god man, listen to this group! and type in " BOOT DAGGER BOOGIE" and hear the solo a minute in..tell me that isnt one of a kind..these 5 musicians are gods, and the lyrics make the band for me personally

  • Comment removed

  • The melody at 7:01

  • From the simple idea of cheeseburgers!

  • Dem backwards fills

  • Your drums sound amazing!

  • that part at 5;04 is just one measure of 5/4 then one of 4/4 not hard dudes.. haha

  • 3:02 - 3:40 Known on Rock band drums for being called the "Holy Shit!" or for some people its "Fuck that I quit!" beat. XD

  • @GRIM029 It's not hard at all. Honestly these rock band comments are ridiculous. All these "Holy Shit" and "What the fuck" beats are not hard at all. Your beat is just blasts which are not hard, DanPeePee's is just ghost notes. You guys I bet are not even real drummers.

  • @TerrariaIdiot if they werent drummers then they probably wouldnt be waching this

    also ive never even tried this song on rock band, im just assuming from wat everybody else sais that its hard

  • @GRIM029 I don't care if they're not drummers. They're just little kids thinking their cool they can play Rock Band drums, looking up real drum covers. I have nothing against what you said, but don't bandwagon or you'll get something like I said.

  • He is amazing, one of the top metal drummers

  • BTB&M will forever be the best band in my opinion. All the vocals and instrumentals are so clean and well put together :3

  • @seppoh11 And their lyrics and how tommy inputs his vocals at certain times are funcking incredible.. best band to date

  • 5:50 everyone who has played this on rock band drums knows this as the "what the fuck" beat

  • @DanDeePee dude I still can't play that lol

  • @DanDeePee That would actually be easy if Rock Band didn't add EVERY SINGLE ghost note lols.

  • @DanDeePee i call it the iBite beat....

  • @DanDeePee They're just ghost notes and paradidles.

  • @ZippyDooFU Agree'd. It's not hard, but at first it is since the beat is pretty difficult for beginners. I guess it's clearly not the "what the fuck" beat as most beginners say it is.

  • @DanDeePee Thas not even what the fuck, thats just a nice groove.

  • @GodScoutSavage ok Mr. Amazing, a few of us under you couldnt get every ghost note the first time we played the song. Not all of us have reflexes down to the nanosecond like you.

  • Solid! I don't typically listen to this stuff but I can at least appreciate the technicality and skill necessary to play well.

  • At 5:04, I count the measures as being 5/4 and 4/4 being repeated for a while during the guitar solo.In addition, Blake's drums have got to be the best sounding rock drums I have heard.He's got to be one of the best rock drummers alive and in action.

  • @Rubywatch74 I can't even count it....arrghh, there's too much awesomeness in this song.

  • @Rubywatch74 hes good but no where near the best... i think he wouod be alot better if he could single foot those blast beats

  • @bodomtopps How he does what he does shouldn't matter. If it sounds good, I don't care how he achieves that sound.

  • does anybody feel an 18/4 time signature during the guitar solo starting at 5:04?

  • i so need a Swim to the moon recording, in its entirety, my life would be complete

  • I'm out of breath just watching this!

  • What a fucking BOSS :)

  • awesome!!! \m/

  • Nice drumming dude... :)

  • whoooa the cover of dream theater's album Octavarium to get inspiration :D

    Good choice

  • Core bands are bad!

  • YOUR A FAG IF YOU THINK THIS SONG IS RUINED

  • 37 people don't have a clue................

  • WHAT KIND OF STACK IS HE USING!?

  • @omegasdoom It's the Sabian Low Max Stax!

  • Does anyone else see his face get really red when he's playing a blast or a fill and then it goes back to normal?

  • Dream Theater would have been musically exciting with Blake Richardson as their new drummer. I kinda hate Mike Mangini's "play what is written" kind of style. With Blake, I could see him making ADTOE sounding better and making DT's old songs sound more interesting with his interpretations. I really hope DT parts way with Mangini and get Blake as their new drummer after their 2013 album.

  • @irwin3036able the issue is that when DT was auditioning new drummers, they wanted someone who played the parts exactly as they were, which is why they passed on amazing drummers like Thomas Lang.  I think that mode of thinking was flawed to begin with, which is why I tend to agree with you about Richardson

  • @littlewitz2 Thanks :) But yeah, I'm pretty sure Blake could play them exactly as they were but Im just excited to see what DT would have sounded like with him. On a side note, I kinda hate DT's "play then as theyre written" style. I mean, theyre treating it as if its classical music. :)

  • @irwin3036able Personally as a drummer, I don't really believe in a "play it as written" kind of style for myself or any of the bands I play in. I prefer to improv many parts live, But many bands especially those as prestigious as DT spend weeks in the studio crafting parts for the song, and so they feel that for their art to be expressed the way they intended, the original parts have to be played. Its kind of lame, at the same time if you made a replica of a famous painting you cant change it.

  • @COOP3RDRUMM3R Thanks for telling me that :)

  • Comment removed

  • anyone know what snare he uses?

  • Oh look an average prog metal drummer.

  • @ScreamxBloodyxGore oh look another you tube troll.

  • @TheFijinbrad lol @ that. I challenge you to find a popular prog metal drummer (or a progressive player who plays heavy music, etc) whos worse... Certainly not Reinert, or Hannes, or Christy, or Jarzombek, or Donati, or Mangini, or Minneman, or Gavin Harrison, or... (need i continue? You're caseless here bud no disrespect.)

  • @ScreamxBloodyxGore I'd hardly call him average though, yes he doesn't stand against giants like Harrison, Minneman or even Martin Axenrot is becoming a huge name in Prog drumming after Heritage.

    If I could be called average against that list of names I would consider it the greatest praise I've ever received. Richardson's a bloody amazing drummer and fantastically creative on their latest EP. But he's not quite a virtuoso yet and so yes doesn't compare to those you listed.

  • @Nubnut I'm not dissing him.. he's average in the realm of progressive metal which is for the most part a very demanding genre not as a drummer that's silly.

  • he makes it look so easy...

  • not a fan of the band, but now i'm a fan of this drummer

  • I really do like his drum parts. I've listened to a couple of tracks off Colours (namely Prequel To The Sequel, Ants Of The Sky and White Walls).

    I'd quite like to hear a bit more of BTBAM's stuff. Any recommendations from the back catalogue?

  • @Eleutherarch All of colors

  • Well, nevermind. I see that there are multiple skips.

  • @TheAliKaveh I'm just guessing but i think that he recorded in segments because the song is so long. Obviously he can do it in one take but it's a good way to get the most out of yourself if you start a certain part fresh.

  • Anyone else notice the video skip at 2:30?

  • at 3:00 i shiet my pants

  • saints row 3 FTWWWWWWW

  • DAMN!!!!! I don't care for the cookie Monster vocals, but musically this is pretty rad, and what a drummer!

  • Wow.. Just wow..

  • what i would want to know is how he freaking writes this. its completely amazing and fast. he must freaking be drenched in sweat after playing drums like jesus. BTBAM needs respect they deserve

  • 05:06 seems like something Portnoy would do... but i bit more heavy

  • @Transferhell thats why bands like dream theater and and Btbam can tour because there progressive but in two completely different directions

  • @lilfutz88 agree dude

  • I used to be a drummer just like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee

  • @temuulka123 Get lost.

  • 0:18 FOR THE SIMPLE IDEA OF CHEESE BURGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @AjaxpuffNstuff Well this songs officially ruined now lol

  • @Mordeci819 fag

  • @AjaxpuffNstuff ...meant that in a good way bro.

  • @AjaxpuffNstuff That literally made my day. XD

  • @AjaxpuffNstuff Will never be able to un-hear...

  • @AjaxpuffNstuff Change Blindness, and no you may not do this to BTBAM

  • @AjaxpuffNstuff CAN. NOT. UNHEAR.

  • @AjaxpuffNstuff

    Blasphemy.

  • @AjaxpuffNstuff bahahahahhaa omfg

  • @AjaxpuffNstuff Haha i just laughed so fucking hard! Well done.

  • @AjaxpuffNstuff PUT MUSTARD ON ITS INSIIIIDE

  • @AjaxpuffNstuff 0:23 ONE MIGHT HIDE HOTNESS INSIDE

  • @AjaxpuffNstuff lol u mad bro?

  • @metallicarocks911 na man im kinda mad at your name though

  • @AjaxpuffNstuff why? is because i like metallica? pffft

  • 5:04 to 5:49 sounds a little bit to constant motion o.o, just saying, btw, awesome drummer dude :DD

  • BEAT= 31/32

  • this fucking guy..

  • @hortonhearsahunter EVERY FUCKIN TIME i youtube someone i stumble across anoth MONSTER drummer. fuckin depressing! now this style isnt my thing but damn i respect it. iguess its like anything. 10 years ago who would guessed pastrana would be bacl flipping mx bikes, but you damn kids keep raising the fuckin bar! makes me wonder what kinda shit my kid is gonna be pulling off in a few years. wheres the limit??!!!

    keep it up young punks!!!!

  • you guys are idiots blake is never leaving btbam why would he leave to join that shitty band dream theatre btbam has 10x as much talent as them

  • @bucs7392 While I agree with you on the fact that I don't want Blake to leave BTBAM, to say that Dream Theatre has more talent than BTBAM is pretty ignorant and fanboyish. Grow up kid.

  • @lolh4x learn to read buddy you got it backwards btbam has 10x as much talent as dream theatre suck it n00b

  • @bucs7392 lol okay 12 year old youtube member.

  • With all due respect but I think after DT makes another album come 2015 and do some tours, I think Mike Mangini should vacate DT. He's awesome and all but he's too "plain" for me IMO. Then afterwards, I say Blake Richardson should be their new drummer. Imagine having DT with Blake as the drummer. It would be more epic than DT with Portnoy or Mangini. (no disrespect) PEace

  • @irwin3036able this guy is nothing on either of the two other drums you mentioned :D

  • @irwin3036able no trying to be a dick or nothing :D just opinion

  • @irwin3036able Mangini didn't make the drum parts for the album. They were written for him. They would be way different if mangini wrtoe them.

  • @Snare10111 I know but with Blake's interpretations and add on fills, ADTOE could have veen better :D

  • @irwin3036able While I'm not arguing saying this guy isn't a bad ass (why else would I look up this video. I'm not a faggot flamer looking for attention). Mangini didn't have very much manuverability. They were very strict with his drum parts. If he had room like portnoy they'd be much more interesting.

  • @irwin3036able you're right in that mangini isn't as "showy" as portnoy was in DT , but blake is right where he should be in btbam- his styles really fill-heavy and wouldn't fit with DT's sound. don't get me wrong though all 3 are amazing, blake is out of this world

  • @bklyn977 That's exactly what i told him haha

  • i use to like these jokes than i took a vagina to the face

  • @BrettEnjoysRockBand That is one of the greatest jokes I've heard in the past 2 days.

  • 1:13-2:01 = my favorite part of the whole song

  • he's just so fucking good...

  • This song is on Saints Row 3!

    Congrats guys!

  • That had to suck to record! That's some crazy stufff!

    

  • @JakeTheDrummer18 yeah absolutely, this guy's a monster, the whole band is monstrous by the way. my fav band ever.

  • my brother thinks THE REV is better, i think my brother is gay

  • @superslayerguy Well, The Rev was fucking amazing so I wouldn't go as far as caling him gay.

  • @superslayerguy they play ( or played ) differents types of music... you cant compare them

  • @superslayerguy i think your gay.

  • @superslayerguy the rev is dead so ofc hes better in the underworld :3

  • @superslayerguy I think that your brother has only different musical tastes than you.

  • the fills are amazing, blake you're one badass drummer.

  • Dream Theater made one big mistake when they didn't audition Blake Richardson. Imagine Dream Theater with Blake Richardson behind the kit. It would be one hell of a band compared to what they were before. (no disrespect to Portnoy)

  • @irwin3036able Blake's drum style is too open filled based to work with dream theater. It fits best with BTBAM. Yes portnoy used a lot of fills and so does mangini, but blakes are throughout the whole song every song. Just isn't within dream theater's style.

  • His fills are fucking awesome!

  • flamadiddles are bitchen'!

  • wow.. Blake is truly amazing. Great band, great video.

  • Comment removed

  • NO, STOP. Blake Richardson IS the arrow of time.

  • The drumming at the 9/8 bass riff/psychedelic solo reminds me a lot of Gavin Harrison. Two ridiculously talented men.

  • @4444HD fuck you and fuck your bitch for a mom, you rotten piece of shit.

  • I used to keep time like Blake Richardson...but then I took an arrow to the knee...

  • @ANeonGenesis stop commenting these Skyrim crap.

  • @Sam10830 How about you kiss the fattest part of my ass, kiddo?

  • @ANeonGenesis HAHAHA. FAT ASS.

  • @Sam10830

    My god, you burned him so fucking bad. That's what he gets for using overused comments.

  • @Danelawz lolololol!

  • @Sam10830

    I used to be able to play like this, but then i took an arrow to the knee....

  • @Sam10830 We were going to stop, then we all took arrows to the knee.

  • @Sam10830 He used to leave grammatically correct comments. Then his grammar took an arrow to the knee.

  • @Sam10830 wtf. i hear about these skyrim crap for quite a while now. i have no idea what it is. and somehow it seems not worth checking...

  • @rawen127

    its a game

    a nice game actually

    but everyone keep annoying about some jock in the game

  • @ANeonGenesis I know what you are saying...Dovahkin!

  • i wanted to be the first of my metalhead friends to be able to shredd this song on guitar so i had it down flat like a couple weeks after it came out, two yrs later they still havent learned the whole thing haha WIN!

  • love the rolls at 7:19

  • theres 3035 likes because the 35 that disliked came back on new accounts just to like the video. they probably realized the mistake they had made.

  • @iloveskateboarding45 so no one just generally liked the video?

  • @thepolice911copeland lol no just those 35, they had to come back. those bufooonsss

  • paused the porn, didn't stop masturbating

  • sick guy

  • I used to like Dream Theater, then I got a drumstick to the knee.

  • Yeah this is my favorite drummer ever! I mean he doesn't do anything super crazy but it is all so precise and he is very creative.

  • @cgriggs21 pffff go watch his 2011 drum solo.. hes does the craziest shit ever lol

  • 36 dislikes? More like 36 morons who couldn't mentally handle this.

  • Blake, are you an alien?

  • blake richardson doesn't go out of time, time goes out of blake richardson.

  • @MASSRCOR well, this phrase is stolen from some meshuggah video, with tomas haake. i think it was even more fitting.

  • @intruderGER watch?v=kMo5VxRrgcY yep, from this video, look who also has a top comment there xD

    I thought it made sense, so what the hell.
