- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- My guest this week is Chris Turner - one of the best metal drummers in the world, both with Oceans Ate Alaska and with his solo stuff. We talked about OAA’s new song and line up, why he’s so good…that sort of thing. Check him out on IG @chrisoaa and youtube @ChrisTurnerDrums - he’s got lesson packs, merch, and solo stuff on spotify. He's an absolute freak.

One of the best and funniest podcasts you ever done Craig.
Just heard the new OAA song and it’s absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥
the new vocals are killer.
its got his signature kick flamadiddle badassery and the new vocals ARE killer@@Boxerharvey1
2 legends chatting drums and shit, like they have known each other forever, bloody brilliant, loved it and well done Simon on your first day at drum school, big love to you all ❤
One of the goats of modern metal and music in general. Chris "The Octopus" Turner. ✌️
This makes me so happy
big same.
This ep was really nice, because it wasn't the usual format of Craig, asking questions, guest responds, Craig Annecdote, Move on. It was organised Chaos, interjections from simon with back up on points, also Simon being the best producer and reminding them where they were if they lost their point in the conversations. Also, my favourite parts were where Chris asked Craig questions, because it's nice to see Craig relax and answer questions about himself rather than worrying about it being all about good high quality content. It was like being sat in a pub and listening to two new mates shoot the shit. Good work!
Absolutely.
Chris had major seeking Dad's approval vibes thru this whole episode esp the more beers he drank 😂
loved the increasing use of "innit?" .
Craig is truly in his RUclips era and I’m absolutely here for it 😤😤😤
When I first started following you, it was for stray and drum videos. I went through the backlog of podcasts and listened to interviews with people/bands I liked.
After the kublai khan episode, I just listen to all of them.
Absolutely top notch. I don’t listen to a lot of these bands, but these podcasts are always amazing.
The Kublai Khan episode was my entry into full episodes of the pod too, right before their run of shows in Aus. I cackled. Have been here ever since.
Fuck me, this was the best bromance-podcast ever! Could not stop watching it and could not stop smiling/laughing either. Genuinely happy for both of you that the hard work over the years paid off. Shout out to "Simon the Sidekick" for doing a banger job at using search engines and making edits that are buttery smooth and that one cut that genuinely had me questioning if there even was one at all(when Craig listens to the new OAA track).
Ya'll a junch of fucking legends!! Thanks for great entertainment😘
I've had the aformentioned Craig Displate as my phone wallpaper for months 🤣🤣
well im sorry that is STEALING and i will be calling the AUTHORITIES
@@deadsoulxiii get .jpeged
Loved the episode. It's great that Simon is there to help support so you can properly focus and engage your guests going forward.
This is one of the best ones yet. Loved it guys. Loved hearing the different methodologies you used to learn and practise
As someone who personally knows Chris and has been friends with him for years…I can confirm that everything that James has come out with is pure nonsense. Chris is genuinely one of the most humble and open-minded guys I know. He’s such a caring & fun dude and I can assure all of you that he has nothing against anyone, race, sex or other! Chris is a top dude through and through! 😎
never clicked on a link so fast. fantastic pod craig, ur smashing it!!
After watching this I think James is taking the piss implying Chris is misogynistic. He's super chill and how he was straight about why he first didn't come on the podcast was super down to earth and transparent.
@@n1gh7m4re After watching Chris RUclips videos, there is no way that you can tell me that there is any tension in oceans ate alaska in general.
All of those guys are just super nice and down to earth.
Had the chance to have a 1 on 1 with Chris a few years back, he helped me start to get a grasp on music theory which helped me tremendously in terms of writing and explaining sections of tracks to band mates and clients I’m working with. Happy this this chat happened 👏🏻
This is one of the most enjoyable drumming convos I’ve ever heard hands down
“I also don’t know how the game fucking works” 🤣🤣🤣
Why do I get teary at the end with all the compliments
When I started listening to this podcast, I wasn't expecting that each episode would make me laugh out loud multiple times. Take your fucking quid, Craig.
Simons thumbs up is comedy genius 👍 😂
👍
2 legends. Glad this pod finally happened!!!
Wasn't expecting to see an @Driftworks jumper on the Downbeat! The crossover no one saw coming 😁
You a fan of cars and drift too? Music and cars, the quickest way to be broke 😂
I'm only going through the comments to see who else is spying the Driftworks merch
Absolutely incredible episode. And there's so much more you guys need to talk about, right at the end of this one you started getting into a whole other episode of topics. We need Chris Turner, on The Downbeat Podcast, 2.
Also I bounce between the video and audio only versions as i go about my day, and when one of those burps hit I genuinely thought spotify had randomly started to play some hardcore breakdown or something, just a super loud "BLLEEERRRGH" out of nowhere. Man needs to do some guest vocals.
Chris has written drum notation for an Oceans song by hand one time, and I bought it from him. The song is Blood Brothers. Such a cool piece to own.
Amazing video , loved it , I have met Craig Reynolds at the drum show in Manchester after his play ( thanks for the pic and chat) I missed Chris Turner , maybe one day I will catch him somewhere in UK 😊 btw I could watch another one of these so please let's have another episode of you two in the future 😊
One of the best eps so far
Think this might be the best episode. Been a day 1 listener and I’m learning so much just from re listening to episodes and old episodes. Recording the debut EP with the band this year and can’t wait to use all the tips from my favourite metal boys ❤ Chris is such a great guy have gained so much respect for you both for being so open and humble big love
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Both you guys are fantastic and I'm super appreciative of all the hard work you put into your jobs/crafts. Thanks for letting us all come along for the ride.
Absolutely adore Chris's playing. Fantastic episode.
Man I cant wait for chris to come back. Fucking legend.
Loved this chat! Huge fan of Chris and OAA
the zoom in on the burps sent me every time LOL
It is he brought me it when he did the pod
1:29:23 it’s sounds like a demon is tryna blurt something out for him🤣
being at the beginning of the conversation where Chris mentions he thought Craig didn't like him then clicking on this timestamp is so funny
Chris is incredible.
With that said, one of his idols (Thomas Lang) can do things with his feet that Chris can’t… yet.
Loved this episode keep them coming 🔥
Thought this was the oceans singers podcast , you guys are identical!
Chris is the goat. How dare you left Chris unread!
Legends! Epic episode, two hours spent right, fuck yeah
Just dropping a comment to say this episode was sick. Banter was great and I loved it! ❤
This was fucking great! I think all the misunderstandings and miscommunications played into an epic comeback story. Great guy. Great chat. Loved it! This might be my new favorite!
He’s wearing a Driftworks hoodie! Love it!
Love how the thumbnail looks like you guys were trying to throw grapes into each other's mouth lol Gonna watch this tomorrow after work
i had a partial tear of my pulley in my finger and my god i couldnt hold a controller or remote for like 2 weeks and you could forget opening doors, took me a year to get back to a 60 sec dead hang off a bar
Headphones are a must in a podcast where two people talk in silence =))
It’s literally mastered to 0.01
Rad interview! It would super awesome to have Shannon lucas on the show. Such a great dude and phenomenal drummer.
This was fire! Chris is a beast 🔥👌🏻
The burp-zoom was magic.
Haven’t listened to OAA in forever but Chris seems like an awesome guy. Gonna check out his solo stuff and the new OAA
Probably the worst time to get into OAA
@@Marius_ae It’s always a good time to get into OAA
Worth it, regardless of the drama the new song is dope
He has a hunched back from carrying the weight of Oceans Ate Alaska for so many years
Chris rockin the Driftworks merch... He's such a car guy lol
great episode! really enjoyed it
great episode..cheers from Egypt
Simons thumb 🤣
I hope that's all we ever see 👍😂
@@rocioiribe5841 WHAT THE HECK i mean im no looker but sheesh 😢
@@deadsoulxiii my joke was just cuz the thumbs up was funny, no shame intended here 😔
@@rocioiribe5841 👍
Great episode!
I got a confession to make: when I first saw Chris play, because, specially the face, and the whole way he plays, I though he had some disability and was even more impressed, but then I saw he was actually normal and I felt really bad of my thoughts
lmao
Someone needs to write a song and just sample all of Chris's burps as the vocals
Wonder if we can convince Chis to use it in place of the "I'm Not Entirely Happy With This" sample
Brilliant episode .
Dude is real and really good. Shoutout to The Octopus Chris Turner lol. 🤘
I don't believe you! this burp is definitely sampled! I bet you can't do it live!
Sleep Token please sample Chris' burps
Another banger!
Little dig towards Dave Elitch there on the topic of positioning/posture etc? 😉
That would be an awesome guest to have on to discuss stuff like that further! And to hear how many famous drummers he’s been teaching. His work from bands like The Mars Volta to Weezer, etc.
1:02:30 why does he burp like he’s dying LMAO😭
7:24 this is how friends are made 🤷🏻♂️☕️
Can't believe craig doesn't like OAA. I'm sure he respects them as musicians. He metal taste seems pretty broad. I remember on the 40 roll video he said he wasn't a fan.
Looking forward to seeing where the new direction of OAA goes, I have to say if it is more like Chris's solo stuff I think it's going to be right up my street
it’s great
@@reynlord666 well... You were right!I have to say it's the first song by them as OAA not individuals that I've liked.
Unfortunately some pretty heavy, tomahawk steak sized beef has accompanied it. So hopefully whatever is going on can be resolved amicably 🫣
@@scotthornsey yeah idk what to make of all of it as a fan of all parties 😅
I fucking loved this. Cheers
That was def an A2 pulley. All climbers know that sound.
It was my A2 :(
@ChrisTurnerDrums I feel ya man. Managing climbing (and the inevitable finger injuries) on top of drumming is a hell of a task. I can't imagine if I was making my living drumming lol.
Soooooooooo stoked for this episode!
If Chris Turner is god.......does that make Craig the Virgin Mary?!?!
Just f*ckin with ya, Fellas!
This episode is legend.....and I haven't even started it yet!
🤘😝🤘
I thought the old mics you were using before sounded great. Love my SM7b though.
Sitting on a shitty train for a few hours, and RUclips informs me of this. AWWYIIIEH🎉
Loved this episode, genuinely hilarious! 100% my guy Joel is a handsome dude 🔥 love that man! Great vocalist! Great tattooer!
lol i didn’t expect to hear the palm springs story
Also horns up for Simon \m/.
fav termina drummer
Fuck yeah, the OG Not Natty Defier!
🖤
🔥
Fucking great podcast boys, love the bantZ
Can you get Clayton Holyoak from Better Lovers on?
the first 10:45 is the best media i've ever watched
This was a fun podcast, thank you as always🖤 and Simon(?) doing a great job!
„x stuff is when no money“. How detached from reality do you need to be?🙄 I’m sorry, that kind of thinking just pisses me off. Do those people that think like that work for free, I wonder?
A metronome at 500 bpm isnt a metronome anymore. Thats a fucking machine gun :D
what other burps are there? I got 17:50, 54:20 & 1:29:30
@@damonjones9556 1:02:30 lmao
Anyone knows what song are they talking about? 1:57:42
The new OAA song
8:01 hats are for people who don’t want sun in their eyes when working sun up to sun down outside. But, yeah, we can go with it’s just for bald people, lol. 👌🏼
it’s 2024 stay indoors
G re at vid eo, yo u sh ould go on th è 80/20 podcast ❤
ahh the human robot
I watched it and didn't hear any diss
Hmm 👀
Absolutely love the honesty and transparency in the beginning about not wanting to be on the podcast from Chris and you guys hashing it out in front of us
The forehead veins are insane in this video great googly moogly. Great episode!
holy shit I cannot unsee the forehead veins now 😂😂
Not a drummer just here because I love both of these guys
The zoom in on the burps is killing me 😭😭😂
Hi! “Pleasant American Man” here (1:10:10), thank you both for the in depth response!
I put 95% of my energy into drumming and virtually none of it on mixing or engineering (I also pay friends to help with that) but I’ve always wondered if this was holding me back. I have goals of being a serious session drummer / content creator, and I always assumed that people like Chris knew how to do it all themselves.
So, it’s great to hear that even legendary drummers don’t know this stuff by default, and also that engineering is the more important of the two for a drummer to master so they can at least record themselves and send it to a professional mixer.
Much love to you both (and you too Simon!!) - the downbeat community fucking rules ❤
Travis Orbin would be a great guest, man his hella ripped and can play literally anything leading with any limb
I would love to see Travis on this!
The shitting chat had me absolutely rolling. Unreal episode!
I was straight-up cackling! 😆
loved ittt the episodes that have me laughing every 30 seconds always end up being my favourites and this was definitely one lmao we’re so back 😂 also congrats on your debut simon! 🎉
Burp Champion, thanks for the kind words Chris ❤
i was listening to some older podcasts whilst at the gym recently, the upgrades you've made are fucking insane - fucking great work
Craig, these interviews just keep on getting better, mate. I've been along for the journey for a while and the progression is crystal clear. But you've still retained what makes you "you".
