I really like how Jon incorporated electronics here. I noticed at the Boston show last night that he was actually playing the drum machine parts. I was relieved they didn't just use a backing track. I also noticed he wasn't just tapping on the Roland pad exclusively, but couldn't really see what was going on. Then I found this rundown and now it all makes sense! I also like that they don't use a click for everything live. Their live energy is hard to beat. Big fan of Idles and Jon's drumming! Never too flashy and always rock solid, kind of deceptively simple really. Once you try to play it you realize it's hard to make it sound like it should.
Having seen the boys about 10 times live now, I spend about 50% of the gig just watching Jon. There’s something so emotional in the way they close with Rottweiler and Jon’s role in it.
I played Vic Firth for... fifteen years? I loved the feel of the sticks I used and I just kinda took it for granted that "that's just how long sticks last". Then I started playing some Vaters and thought "wow these things feel indestructible!" and then I played some Promarks and thought "Wow these are indestructible AND they feel great!" In a dream scenario I'd get a ProMark firegrain rip off of the Dave Weckl sig and just play it forever.

The idles tiny desk changed my life.
Dude, I feel that.
Beavis is a shredder! So good to see him on here
One of the best drummers around.
Jon Beavis is a beast, definitely one of the best drummers around. From Brutalism to Tangk, his work is nothing short of amazing.

Saw them in ATL earlier this month and that snare tone is other worldly. Came to this video to try and achieve the same sound.
Probably one of the most interesting, innovative drummers these days!
Divide & Conquer - that snare is SO loud. It absolutely permeates through your entire essence lol so so so good
Jon is a beast
Whatta tune to open with “pop pop pop”
_freudenfreude_
Jon just seems like such a good egg. Friggin beast behind the kit!
This dude is an octopus. Rock solid!
Jon is such an incredible drummer!!
Very interesting, saw Idles twice this past summer and especially 2nd time (very big outdoor festival in Portugal) drums sound was huge!
Jon your sound it's amazing! Inspire me, you have a unique style dude !

Came here for the Beavis talk🫡
Jon is such a good drummer - one of my favorites. That poor drum tech - not sure that would be fun
Beavis is the best
Sean Radcliffe when?👀
Drummers who aren’t drum nerds and don’t even know what they’re playing really bother me.
