Tony if you still look at these comments I would kill for you to post Mary Without Sound or The Worst Part. Either way you're a legend and by far my favorite drummer. None of my other favorite bands have so many killer and creative drum parts throughout their catalogue.
This song is a clinic on limb independence with those quarter notes on the hi-hat. Seeing you do it like this is super helpful for those of us still learning to not have it drift after all these years. Thanks, Tony!
Tony, on the underside of your cymbals I cannot tell if I am seeing the dimple pattering from the making of them or if there are holes for a quieter sound of some kind. Great video, always loved this song. Thanks, Chris
Those are Sabian's FRX cymbals, with tiny holes around and on the bell (and edge on rides) making them a good deal quieter but still musical. Takes out some of those harsher frequencies which make for great sounding cymbals with a lot of control. Good for small clubs, churches, or practicing at home without driving your neighbours completely mad.
I found a letter that said, "I'm sorry that you were asleep when I wrote these words Down" You'd think I'd ought to be used to that by now Save for a few of those late night episodes, missed opportunities, and "I don't care's" There's not a lot that I feel obliged to share or talk about I'll have my brother stop by this Saturday to Pick up my things, just make sure you're not there This may sound bad, and don't take it the wrong way I love you, however... You hold me down You hold me down You hold me down You hold me down You're the echoes of my everything You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night You're the laziness of afternoon You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom How will I break the news to you? How will I break the news to you? Cancel our dinner with Max and Coraline Feed Jacky's gerbil and try to stay clean We'll talk it over after I've had some time Alone to sort it out You hold me down You hold me down You hold me down You hold me down You're the echoes of my everything You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night You're the laziness of afternoon You're the reason why I burst and why I bloomed You're the leaky sink of sentiment You're the failed attempts I never could forget You're the metaphors I can't create To comprehend this curse that I call love How will I break the news to you? How will I break the news to you? How will I break the news to you? How will I break the news to you? How will I break the news to you?
Best song...god what a powerhouse.
Drummers are songwriters. This song has the atmosphere it has because of this drum part.
i love you Tony
paradiddle for days. 🥁

I've seen them do this live and he even sings backup while keeping the foot going. It's so freaking hard to do.
@@trainspotter360 And it's not as if the kick is some straight pattern, either! Love this one.
So true
low key the hardest Motion City song to play
Your playing style and drum parts are a huge inspiration to me with my own drumming, thanks for showing us exactly how it’s done.
Shame that this legend stopped posting but at least they are touring again. Hopefully they put out new music again
I saw them earlier this year! It was amazing!!
You should do more of these! Also, this song really helped me out in a really tough season of life. So thanks, your music means a lot to me.
I can’t explain how cool this is.
Simply put, these videos make me so happy. This one just pushed me over the edge to buy some new maple drum shells. I love it!
I guess in hindsight, we should have known the reunion was coming haha
Those ghost notes holy crap! New found respect for the drum part in this tune!
Are you playing snares on basically every semi quaver?
I love this guy so much
Wonderful drummer. Perfect match to the song.

I missed you dude. So much. :)
Please do a video on how you tune your snare. That thing is heaven
YES!!!!!
I love your style Tony!
I'd love to see you playing "Worker Bee" or "This is for real"
This is fantastic 👍, subscribed

Great video, always loved this song.

Feel Like Rain please! I try and play that everyday I get on my kit to help stay wired properly! Would be nice to see the real thing.
I found a letter that said, "I'm sorry that you were asleep when I wrote these words
Down"
You'd think I'd ought to be used to that by now
Save for a few of those late night episodes, missed opportunities, and "I don't care's"
There's not a lot that I feel obliged to share or talk about
I'll have my brother stop by this Saturday to
Pick up my things, just make sure you're not there
This may sound bad, and don't take it the wrong way
I love you, however...
You hold me down
You hold me down
You hold me down
You hold me down
You're the echoes of my everything
You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night
You're the laziness of afternoon
You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom
How will I break the news to you?
How will I break the news to you?
Cancel our dinner with Max and Coraline
Feed Jacky's gerbil and try to stay clean
We'll talk it over after I've had some time
Alone to sort it out
You hold me down
You hold me down
You hold me down
You hold me down
You're the echoes of my everything
You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night
You're the laziness of afternoon
You're the reason why I burst and why I bloomed
You're the leaky sink of sentiment
You're the failed attempts I never could forget
You're the metaphors I can't create
To comprehend this curse that I call love
How will I break the news to you?
How will I break the news to you?
How will I break the news to you?
How will I break the news to you?
How will I break the news to you?
What are the chances we could get a 1000 Paper Cranes play through?
