I can tell you that I’ve been drumming for about 7 years now and he is super impressive for me also. This isn’t just him playing his song, this is an audio/visual performance. Excellence to me isn’t just how many fast/technical grooves and fills you can do, it’s what fits the song best and compliments all the other pieces leaving a complete package at the end.
Just went to concert on 11-7-21. I am a drummer, so I am amazed to see how much extra “theatrical” movements Adam does. I never twirl sticks. To afraid I will drop them. Once during a small performance, about 30 people, I hit my left thumb with right stick. I was so embarrassed and was clinching my teeth for a couple minutes.
I had a friend criticize Starset for using session musicians for the albums, saying that there was no way Adam could replicate the work of others that recorded the content…I showed him this video as well as a few live shows. I haven’t heard an accusation since lol.
Yeah he's been my favorite drummer since 2019 (cuz that's when I discovered this huge band 🙂)

Adam is just a joy to watch. Every member of that band is tremendously talented.

7:50 Late to the party but it's a 20" Sabian HHX Legacy Crash. I'm guessing it's the crash. Sounds a little too dark to be the Legacy Ride.
Let's gooo Adam!
