  • Go Joe Bondra!

  • dude i grew up with this kid, he has been playing drums since he lived in scotland on coffee cans. some people were just born to play

  • That is AMAZING! And completely insane! If I could only play drums like that, that is HARD CORE!

  • @SheLivesToSing15 i agree. but have you seen George Kollias? hes extreme too. but so far he doesnt does anti-gravity technique sadly.

  • versitility in blasts, very nice

  • 1:48-1:53 sounds like a fucking helicopter.

  • haha, in The Begining in The Background "I've been trying To Smoke With Him Too But He Never Wants To!"

  • this is fuckin insane. wicked job man! you sound tighter than the album! haha

  • This is fucking killer. \m/

  • OK Im A New Drummer, Who Has Took Two Lessons Now And Im Ok, Because I Listen TO Metal Im Pretty Good. But This Is Fuckin Insane!

  • lessons r gay

  • Actually joe if you remember correctly it was you and ian who both started going off on the band on your sickdrummer blast off forum. Like I already said 20 times we paid for atleast half of everything you needed to come out here and jam, including your drum set. it was you who told us you are too broke to tour or play shows anymore, so if anyone was being jerked around it was us thinking we found a drummer who could tour. So if you want to keep repeating yourself like a broken record go for it.

  • Hahahaha! You paid a total of 200 dollars and I had to drive you around in your own car! Thats so funny you can actually think that. KC let me borrow some gear which was awesome and i was thankful for that. And you let me stay over your house which cool too. But i flied 3000 miles for "band practice" and the singer showed up twice! lol. your kidding yourself. Ian said i got fucked over and I said was i wasnt in the band. Who pays to play with a signed band anyway?We're all waiting for that tour.

  • ok broken record.I know for afact i paid more than200 bucks to help you out.Your first plain ticket out here was over150 bucks which I immediately gave you when you got here. plus 100 bucks for that drumset, then sold it once you basically quit and gave you the remainder ofthe money after I sold it. U knew you had to pay a little money tocome out here so itwas your own dumb ass decision if you thought we were rockstars who could just pay for everything.We're all waiting for you to quit bitching.

  • blah blah blah. the label said they would help out and they didnt. whatever you beef you have because of something i said really dosent make a difference to me. B/c i know whats really good and no one was bitchin except you when YOU came to MY video and messaged ME. Yeah I quit bc you wanted me to spend more money to fly out when the label lied and didnt pay like they said they would. That was never the agreement. I have better things going now anyway so it really dosent matter. See ya.

  • I didn't say anything to YOU till you called us bland. But hey whatever I'm not gonna keep repeating myself or responding so have a good one.

  • зачем такое говно выкладывать?

  • @MrPODxt

    Без перевода? if i got that right....

  • @deathmetaljose what do you mean?

  • @MrPODxt i was trying to say "what?" lol

  • @deathmetaljose :) it doesn't really matter..i said you have shitty sound here on vid :)

  • I don't know. Joe's drumming is pretty bland to me. His feet are super slow, inconsistent, and sound like shoe's in a dryer or popcorn. But hey that's just my opinion.

  • Yeah. I guess it was a year ago when I had that problem. But your problem apparently, is you dont know how to take an opinion from someone else. On and on like a broken record. Calling Brain Drill bland when I was talking with someone about jazz? Its just blasts and sweeps, which is cool. But in my opinion its bland when you stay one dimensional. Thats what I mean by bland. Bland dosent mean fast. And I never talked shit on you personally. I talked shit on metal blade.Your just way too serious.

  • actually I do know how to take an opinion seeing as how there is more than just one person stating there opinion about this band, on this page and many others.But if someone else who plays drums or is in a band is going to state an opinion about this band then i should have the rite to state my opinion about your band or drumming as well. and I too am not saying anything about u personally, I'm simply commenting in response to your opinion's.Sodon't get butthurt when someone else has an opinion.

  • No ones butt hurt Dylan. You have the right to say whatever you want really. Just remember you were the one who started going off on me. I am merely explaining to you what I meant. The only thing I'm "butt hurt" over is spending 1200 dollars and being jerked around by a band that supposedly had it together.

  • nice

  • my favorite by Brain Drill

  • Nice grav blasts. :)))))0

  • Wow! dude, you're amazing on the drums, you need something that would give you some challenge cuase this clip sounds like music i'm not good enough to listen to... try some funk, or D&B...

    Cheers

  • Akira Jimbo is the fuckin man. He never repeats anything almost in his solo work.

  • beast

  • not anymore

  • This guy is with Brain Drill now, right?

  • not man, but a machine

  • Shoot a 50 Cal in combat. Maybe then you'll know the feeling that Brain Drill is going for

  • The video has crap sound quality but I gave it five stars just because it a Brain Drill song and this guy is a killer.

  • The World Music Foundation has announced that they have abolished ALL blast beats...anyone caught using them will be liable for 2 weeks local community service or have to play their drums with a "groove".

  • You're right. Intelligent music should be abolished because it's above your level. There are millions of people who love this music. But you wouldn't know that because you don't understand anything beyond your nose and expect everyone else to be as idiotic as you. You desperately need to get out more you worthless piece of small minded garbage. God I hate these ignorant morons.

  • they arnt ignorant, its just preferance, I LOVE METAL as much as the next guy, but havnt you heard a few bands that blast beat just a lil too much? and it takes away from the song? i know i have, one of my favorite drummers in metal flo monier blast beats a lil too much sometimes, and i have to change the song, blast beats are awesome for extreme parts, but sometimes they are overused, I love em, i use em a lot, but i try to come up w/ more " grooves over it to balance it out.

  • Thats why I dont really like bands like these ^ I do, but they ten to use stuff way too much. Flo Mounier is dead to me now as Cryptopsy have sold out like fuck.

  • so since his band "sold out" hes no longer a good drummer dude i think u need to stop being an ignorant asshole and just listen to musc who fucking cares if they makemoney and sell records and have music videos if u were in a band for 10years and u spent all of ur time and money doing something wouldnt u want some sort of re-embersment for ur time and effort...look at cannibal corpse they were on the mayhem fest this year with big name bands like jobforacowboy, whitechapel....did they sell out??

  • what are you talking about? Why are you having a go at me. I never said anything towards this band. Im not a big fan of this band really.

  • no but u said flo sold out and is dead to u...im having a "go" at u because thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard is this punk music there are no sell outs

  • Well Cryptopsy have Sold out and Flo Mounier has by letting it happen to Cryptopsy. They have turned their backs on their roots and core genre by going Death core. I mean before thy were just straight extreme Death metal, and to convert to Deathcore is an extreme insults to the fans and genre. Also-Cannibal Corpse, just because they have played with some bands that arent really death metal doesent mean they have sold out.

  • If you like the new Cryptopsy, fair enough, but I feel sorry for you. Their loyal fans who loved them from day one have said they have sold out because their music is absouloutly shit now. I mean clean singing.....In Cryptopsy?!! Come on! Seriously?! Its not a dumb thing, its the truth, they have sold out. And this is not Punk music btw, you might of been trying to say something else but you cant put up a sentence correctly.

  • Theres even a myspace page called Craptopsy, thats what their old fans think of them now, because they have sold out. And I am one of those "Old fans" I only like their old stuff, new stuff-Faggy ass deathcore. Something I wouldnt of thought cryptopsty would ever do. And Flo Mounier just let em do it. Also you cant have a go at me for disliking them now and thinking that they have sold out. ITS MY OPINION......Correct? I think so. So no its not dumb. Ask any cryptopsy fan, they will say the same

  • you mean job for a cowboy and whitechapel were with cannibal corpse. the big band. lol.

  • oh ya ruination job for a cowboys new album was 42 on the billboards top 200 and number 7 "hard rock" billbaords ya cannibal corpse is defnatly the big name hahahaha

  • kind of man but what do u expect someone to play to exteme sweeps and what not like in braindrill...before the blast beat in metal it was 1-2 thrash beat and that wasoverused 20 years ago and still used..so no i dont think they are overused i just think that shitty drummers dont know how to incorporate good fills and stuff with blast beats likke drummers like george kollias and flo monier

  • but thats my point, im saying, stop doing the crazy sweeps for a 2nd and write something easy to listen to, braindrill is very talented , however i find them often times inaudible, i dont like a 4 min sweep song. My band has sweeps a lot to, but only when there called for and we make it melodic and epic pretty sounding. not in audible. i prefer bands like black dahlia and abigail williams

  • that is 100 percent agreeable man those are my two favorite bands as of right now...but there a huge difference they both have two guitar players.....and there melodic death metal braindrill is more extreme death grind but i know exactly where ur comeing from but all three of these bands are totally diferent subgenres of death metal you know?

  • Ya i hear ya. your right. If you love those two bands, then subscribe to my page and keep a look out for my bands new songs that will be recorded ( proffesionally) in october. We are a technical melodic death metal band influenced by abigail , black dahlia murder, arsis, and at the gates, just to name a few. Sick drumming on my part, and sick riffage. very melodic and pretty sounding, yet technical.

  • I dont know. Brain Drill is pretty bland to me. I just made this video b/c i knew people would check the vid out. Its not even very good. Its a while ago too. lol. If your into crazy music you must check out my band Lethean. Early 2010 release of some sick shit.

  • fuk dude...just kidding around...I'm pretty sure the WMF didn't make that statement...however please try to control your anger...your old & fat.

  • blasts do grove, mabye if you took some time to listen instead of being a snobby prick you could hear it.

  • your blast beats are absolutely fucking ridiculous. you are amazing.

  • not just speed, but precision as well, and high precision at such a high speed would seem kind of skilled to me...

  • @patchylat1 check out alex grind...

  • To have EXTREME SPEED, requires INCREDIBLE skill!! unless you can do it, or have tried to do it don't say anything.. Why? because you obviously know not of what you speak!! Untill you have tried to play ANY kind of drum patterns at 260bpm+ *and some bop and tech/brutal death is over 320+* dont say a fucking word. If you can play properly at speed and not have it sound like a fucking flam'ed out mess then you obviously have skill. Just because you are an ignorant piece of fucking retarded shit

  • Sie wissen nicht, mich so sollten Sie nicht sagen, dass Dinge wie die, dass Leute wie Sie, weil in der Hölle brennen

    suck one

  • I kinda agree with you. I love Death metal. And yes you have to be incredible skillfull to do this kinda stuff. But there are better drummers like Jazz Drummers.........try Sean Reinert he plays for Cynic and did play for Death. I mean hes amazing. Hes not all about the speed which whats drumming has become all about in Death Metal today.......I mean wheres the technicallity I mean yes there is in this, but sometimes it can just be mindless blasting and fills.

  • Also Gravity blasts are not hard to do. Once youve got the concept of Blasting down, Gravity blasts are a piece of piss. They dont take that much skill really.

  • And you are exactly right. Akira Jimbo is my favorite drummer.

  • Oh hes really good. I love the video when they take like pieces of his kit away but he still does amazing things. Just shows you that you dont need a big kit to be an amazing Drummer. Jazz drummers are just so much better, They have more skill and technicality. Dont get me wrong Death metal drummers are good like George Kollias, Derek roddy etc But when your just constantly gravity blasting for 5 minutes like this guy, it just gets boring. I mean hes good, just theres nothing new.

  • Well i m that guy and im into other shit too. Lol. Just remember its a cover. The main reason I did it was because no one else did. Get a little exposure ya know. Shit now Im IN the band! Lol.

  • Haha awesome. Im not dissing you or anything. Just the whole Blasting/Gravity Blast thing. Your an awesome Drummer. I mean blasting is hard. id say Gravity blast is easier as its less effort to do it haha.

  • No worries. I wasnt coming down on ya. lol. Im just sayin that blasting IS easy once you get the hang of it. Its just proper technique. Awkward motions are hard to control sometimes. Thank you though. Gravity blasting is easy. Its just the stamina aspect of it thats hard. Oh yeh and trying to avoid carpel tunnel. Lol.

  • Haha. im still working on my Blasts and on my stamina. Cant keep my left hand going for that long. But with gravity blasts it requires less stamina because your just balancing the stick on the rim of the snare. And I'm starting to get carpel Tunnel on my right hand, its a bitch.

  • Well watch out you dont want carpel tunnel.

  • your starting to get carpal? how do you know if your starting to get it? so i know what to look for, also, work on your technique, cus i think bad technique can cause carpel at high velocities, unless you use french grip , which isnt "bad" technique, but has been known to cause carpel tunnel

  • Because I get pain in the palm of my hand near the thumb and first Finger and wrist. I dont get it all the time btw. Just sometimes. I get it at work aswell. I work in a chippy and when Im griping the thing that gets the chips out i get it sometimes. But ive learnt this thing that helps it, by doing this circular movement with the wrist.

  • I get it when I like start to loose stamina.....So i try and keep up etc So I tighten my grip. I can still drum through the pain, just need a bit of a break haha.

  • Isnt the French Grip like what most drummers use anyway. I mean its the most popular grip.

  • you do realize when you say jazz drummers are so much better than death metal drummers , that it doesnt make a whole lot of sense, considering death metal in the percussion area is entirely adapted from jazz, the only thing added is the double bass essentially, and its applications are different. blast beats came from jazz my friend, so you are a bit misinformed. no worries though.

  • Yeah, I know what you mean. But thats why their better because everything came from Jazz basically, well not EVERYTHING, but the most essential bits tbh. But I mean, just how the Jazz Drummer play and their style. Its a lot more fluent that death metal drummers......as they tend to sound the same, while the jazz drummers all sound different. It just sounds better. Also double bass wasent really added, the first drummer to use Double bass was a Jazz Drummer.

  • just because its influenced greatly by jazz doesnt make it better, thats like saying a bands influences are better then that band, and that would be a statement that is not nessasarilly true, not to mention entirely oppinion based. french grip is bad in my oppinion becus its been known to cause carpel tunnel

  • Im just saying my Opinion really. I think one genre or a paticular style is better than the other, that all Im saying. Im more impressed by jazz drummers than I was before, because ive learnt so much more about drums over the years. I just think that people who play like this (Ok fair enough if its for that type of music) are boring really. Ive just seen too much of the same stuff.

  • agreed, but keep in mind, theres always gonna be to much of the same stuff, thats just music in general, and thats the nature of percussion, it tends to loop itself and be repetative, but as long as theyre in time theyre doiing there job

  • Yeah thats totally true.

  • Totally True man. But the french grip is the most comman, and popular way to grip the stick. And I think its just the way I play. I might be griping to hard and playing to hard so I create alot of stress on my hand. So im gonna try to play lighter and find an alternative grip that'll help me.

  • The jazz drummers can do alot more things, as theres less boundaries for them,a s for Death metal style.....there are more rules and ways to make it sound Death metal.

  • It really depends on how "DEATH" you wanna make it. More jazz just leads to prog.

  • there are no boundries to death metal. jazz cant be constantly fast double bass or else people would slap you for thinking its jazz. whatever comes to a drummer naturally is their style

  • I know what you mean. But you can have that in jazz.....as Double bass originated from jazz. It can be fast and Constant if it wants to.....Of course it has to be in certain boundaries. But thats what I hate in Death metal drumming or even Death meta. No Boundaries......So someone can come up with a new stupid style or song....that just doesent sound good. Like Gravity Blast beats.....they dont really impress me......as everyone does em and their pretty easy.

  • Well the only problem with that is the genre of death metal can only have so much jazz element or it isnt death metal at that point. I think it is more about trying to get a certain sound. Maybe if it just a machine gun.

  • well not all death metal has to be this. i mean in slow break downs most drummers can open up to non blast beats. not trying to choose a side or anything, it solely depends on what your preference is. i prefer blast beats to jazzy things like keeping beat. and jazz/ soft rock being the birth place of modern drumming, so yes they did create many techniques. (sorry for bad spelling and no capitals/ bad punctuation)

  • Thank you, people with some measure of intelligence do exist on this planet. I have been telling my friends that all of this technical metal I listen to originates in jazz. If you have a set of ears you can hear it.

  • Well obvioulsy you know more than your friends. Every style or genre has to originate from somewhere really thats how music is. Ok some people can come up with their own stuff but not many today as everythings been thought up before in other genres, people just build up on that idea then. From Guitar, Drums, Bass and keyboard styles and techniques and beats have originated and been infulenced by other genres like Jazz. Like Classical music, thats the closest genre to Metal.

  • Yes indeed it does. Constant change of rhythm, blues chord movements and most of all, smooth brutality.

  • Listen if you guys wanna see me play some way crazier shit check out my band LETHEAN. Our new shit will be out soon and its gonna fuckin shred anything you have ever heard. The old stuff is decent. But its just that. Old. Check it out.

  • You need some practice...go watch Longstreth...

  • Well I wonder what exercise you used to get that blast beat tecnique, did you just play very much or did you do a special practice?

  • Moeler technique. Just grinding at it. Jazz techniques. But all in a very much more EXTREME way ya know.

  • sounds good but i gotta ask if you're triggered or not. I wouldn't hold it against you since brain drill (and most death metal bands) have triggered bass drums.

  • This isnt but i use triggered bass drums. Its the only way when your competing with guitar amps.

  • cryptopsy and spawn of possession win

  • get in line with all the other generic drummers

  • Its a cover man. I dont play like that.

  • Fuck, if the video was good sounded it was perfect

  • I don't like this style of playing at all - It's got no soul or musicality. But I'd be stupid to dismiss it. It takes monster technique to pull off convinclingly; the one-handed rolls (in time!) are sickness...

    Nicely played

  • wrong

  • Partly wrong.

  • says it in the description.

  • Well theres a lot of musicality in this music, soul sure can be discussed, but theres nothing to say about the extreme tecnique you need.

  • Not much impressed! i think he's a great drummer but these blast beats get sooooo boring after some time! and by the way if you have the skills to play the freehand technique that fast, it isn't as hard as most people think!

  • so im guessing u dont like blasting in general cause i kinda like it

    it more than just a fast freehand its being so controlled with it sure hes not perfect but the precision is still damn good

  • If you the the skills to do it, then of course it isn't hard. =P

  • how the fuck can you say this guy suck

    his blasts are fuckking beast

  • GTFO

    The sound quality is bad yeah, but that doesn't make him any bit less skilled.

  • so joe im a huge fan of yours but anyways can u give us any tips on how to develop such a quick freehand technique ive pretty much just been workn out of stick control for the snare drummer and doing rudiments with a metronome with a lot of practice but i cant see ever gettn that fast but any help would be awesome

    thanks

  • Thanks a lot! You know what. I am going to make a vid so you can see exactly what I am doing. There are a lot of others but people have asked me before. Ill hit you up with the link or just subscribe to my channel. Peace!

  • god damnit

  • NICE

  • this guy is absolutely amazing!!

  • THAT IS FUCKIN SIIIIIIIIIIIICK!

  • im going to put a fast video today in response to some other vids out there. deathmetaljose is my profile. you should check em out.

  • 1:51. HOLY FUCK!

  • new brain drill drummer has only been playing the drums for 2 years

  • actually i have been playing for 5 and a half. lol.

  • your actually him. awesome. how is it playing for brain drill. Also your badass

  • Yes its me and thank you. Its fun man. Just trying to record new stuff and see what happens. I live really far away so its tough to be like a normal band. So we will just see what happens. Check out some of my other vids. Im gonna try and come out with a really fuckin fast one. like 340 bpm or something.

  • Those gravity blasts would turn bones into dust!

  • wow, at first when I heard this band I assumed they had programmed drums. I guess they dont, HOLY $#!T! Faaast blast beats!

  • Holy... Fuck...

  • thats fucking awesome man

  • I like this guy ... He plays like its nothing O_O

    Then he walks of if his seat not even tired..

    Now thats what I call TALENT :D

  • Bow to you, master!

  • HOLY CRAP

  • sick drummer indeed...

  • hey God! Glad to see you're back to join us at earth!

  • Probubly the best replacement for their former drummer Marco Pitruzella, no doupt x)

    This guy can come very far, what a talent!

  • Fucking sick.

  • nice fuckin gravity blast at :33

  • Fucking wicked gravity blast holy shit

  • holy fuck

  • Joe's gotta be the fastest drummer in the world. I don't know how he moves his hands so fast for the super-fast blast beats, but however he does it, he should keep it up. Joe and Braindrill kick ass!

  • wow this trum is sick XD

  • NIce ! Check somewhere around 1:15 and other parts where you can see his hand moving (really fast!)

  • FUCKING NICE!!!

  • Fucking awesome username lmfao

  • Granted that Brain Drill's ideas aren't very original or creative, you can't deny the fact that they are all very talented musicians and one of my favorite

  • Joe kicks MAJOR ASS and that's why he's the "GODFATHER" and if u think he sucks u should see him live... way to go Joe we knew u could do it

  • Thumbs fucken up. You're in. :)

  • 'Ballin

  • omg. id need a powernap to play that shit

  • haha

    i bet you never thought u were gonna be drumming for them when u made this man!

  • 5/5

  • Shit this guys insane! Good luck with the Drill!

  • ANYONE that thinks he's shit...

    well think again, cos he's the real drummer of braindrill now.

  • Dude, anyone who think he's shit, is RETARDED... no need to go further than this =P

    but the fact he is now braindrill's offical drummer kills anoyone who says he's shit at playing Braindrill!

  • Nice as hell!!

  • isnt this the guy from lethean?

  • yes sir i am

  • Fast , but where´s the groove gone??? I bet, this guy never had a groove!! This fuckin blast is killing my nerves, makes me sick.

  • Mike, Keep in mind, this is after Joe worked a full day in the sun & has no ear piece on? That and Braindrill really isn't all about "groove" now, is it? Maybe I missed something...

  • god that killed that song

  • even though it's just blast beats... you're good ayzsht. i like the free hand rolls in there i can't get mine to cut that well.

  • FUCCCCKKKKK

  • yo man your sic as fuck....i'd like to see the people giving you shit play something like that!

  • if i had a dollar for every beat this video had i would a millionaire!

  • go back and listen to your joey jordison and neil pert if you think this is weak then.

    joe bondra ftw!

  • its a cover dude. not my style. if you want me to go off or play a song of your choice i will. all it is is blast beats, and on a better note your the one watching the video. lol.
