Yeah, the song is in 9/8

[kcgutier]

I am going to see Battles again this month (June) in Baton Rouse, LA. Hopefully I'll have some more videos to post up. I'll try and get some of the new songs on camera.

they're so cool, but does anyone else think john steiner is a bit of a weird drummer? I mean his cymbals are reeeally high (not that thats uncool I put mine up as high as his hehe), he is really good but has a weird set up

[kcgutier]

I think I heard something about him putting his crash so high because he only wants to use it sparingly. Since it is so high, he has to consciously reach for the crash.

any additional tracks in their live shows are recorded and sampled during the show, nothing is prerecorded, takes a lot of talent, dont attempt to trash these musicians, they already have the respect they deserve

[cutthatcity111]

that is a sign of being a man. Double kicks are for either metal bands or pussies!

[BenlikesPoo]

best crowd ive seen in a battles video

[Colenelly]

@Cammangoman hahaha, good point.

[patjonhughes]

@cutthatcity111 or fantastic jazz drummers

[Jd4eva626]

@kcgutier but how come in his other bands he uses a basic set up? i think he just does it for show to add to the whole artsy thing that they have going on.. i thing this band is groovy as hell

[cloneofbogart]

k im not sure if someone already answered this.. but what time signature is this song in? it sounds like 9/8 to me, but im not the best at counting stuff like this.

[99kashus]

awesome song!! and you allll need to shhhhhhhhhut the fuck up

[kwakedesigns]

that sounds like the kind of gentleman brute that played the drums for Helmet.

Genius drummer.
