TESSERACT - Dystopia Drum Video
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- My first live recorded performance of 'Dystopia', the first track from TESSERACT's new album Polaris.
Recorded and mixed by Al Heslop at Creative Control Studios, Bracknell - www.creativecontrolstudio.com
Polaris is available worldwide through Kscope and eOne music:
US - www.merchconnectioninc.com/collections/tesseract
EU - www.bandstores.co.uk/shop/tesseractstore/
A huge thank you to all of the companies I work with who helped to make this happen:
Crush Drums and percussion - Sublime Bubinga 10, 12, 13 and 16 toms, 22" kick.
Planet Earth 14x6.5 Teak Stave snare
Sabian cymbals
Vic Firth 5b Sticks
Evans drumheads
Porter and Davies
This is a very special recording for me as not only is it the first live video of a new TesseracT track but it's the first time I've recorded a drum that I've made myself.
I've never felt qualified as a drummer to talk in depth about my drum sound. I've always just gone with what I've known and not really explored the sounds of different woods, shell depths and diameters, bearing edges, hardware and all the other tiny variables which go into giving a drum it's signature sound.
So I spent the past eighteen months obsessing over and researching drum making methods. I decided to make my own stave drum from scratch. I teamed up with an old and very good friend and together we have made something I'm extremely proud of. It's a 14" x 6.5" Teak stave shell, 20mm thick with a 45 degree bearing edge. I used 3mm triple flange hoops and a Trick throwoff, and to make it even cooler it used to be a school science desk!
I'm most certainly at the start of a new journey into the world of drums and while I feel like I've learned a lot already, I know this drum is just a drop in the ocean, on a planet, in a galaxy, in a universe, in a multiverse of possibilities.
So many ghosts it's scary.
That kit must be haunted or something..
+Michele Perrone 2 spooky for me!
+Michele Perrone very spooky
who ya gonna call?
Just call Jay
Michele Perrone He plays like Troy Wright Lol
Jay this is sick man!
You should have put this in the "horror" genre.
Because of all those Ghost Notes.
LOL
Hah.
Watching Jay and Karnivool's Steve Judd makes me want to pick up drumming again. Groove and creativity without flashiness, just classy.
watch Blake Richardson
+eloann dude, that is exactly what I was thinking too!
100% agree. It's funny because this album and Karnivool's "Sound Awake" or two of the best albums I've listened to in the last 25 years.
rarely do u find such a busy drummer that effortlessly stays out of the way. jay nails it every time. Tesseract's rhythm foundation is top notch.
I think i held my breath for about four minutes...This is more hypnotizing than hypno-toad!
All Hail Jay Postones!
*CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP*
Watching you play the drums is mesmerizing. Love the ghost notes. The chorus for this song is great. I love how the singer actually sings with well constructed parts to the song. Have to see you guys live in Toronto.
Jay that stack needs 5000% more sound
Agreed
Blake Warrens I think that’s why he got rid of it newer one sounds so much better.
People trying to give you advice need to shove it. This is brilliant work. Do you.
One of the best albums I've listened to in 25 years. Seriously. It's f'n awesome.
This groove creates goosebumps and makes the hair stand on my arms. Absolutely amazing.
Love the passion, immersion, and pure mechanical delight Jay takes in this performance. Like all of his playing, the musician's fervor is really contagious.
those ghost notes in between the groove are the best man!
awesome!
The Amos-Jay rhythm core has gotta to be my favorite.
that snare sounds so good! the more videos like these, the merrier! keep 'em coming, Jay!
I'm not at all surprised by the description of this video, Your eighteen months of obsession and research have yielded a monumental result. The snare sound on Polaris is the best I've ever heard in my life. It's like Zeus's bubble wrap, holy hell what a cannon. I think if you hit it hard enough you might open up a portal to another dimension.
watching a good youtube cover is one thing...but being able to watch JP play it in a multicam vid = AWESOME!
is tesseract going to do a live studio thing for polaris?
Hopefully but I've seen them play this live so I don't really care if they don't
+RoastBeefSandwich please!
hey get this top comment so they read it :p
they just recorded one
Damn..
This brother was droppin' some serious flava on those drums man!!
And those ghost notes........
absolute fave drummer right now!
Too Funking Funky!!
I cant get over how sick this album is
So that's the snare you built yourself? Sounds great, got a really nice punch to it. Hope you pulled it off without breaking another drumhead on the first hit! Haha
Awesome. Kick ass. So glad I found you guys recently. Looking forward to seeing you here in So. Cal soon
Wait Tourniquet, Seven Names!
It's great work Jay!!!
the head bobbing side to side makes me hypnotized
Keep listening to this album man, great job!
Cheers to actually playing your instrument in the videos you post!! Thats becoming more and more rare.
best track on the album. ending is amazing
Good stuff Jay. It was worth the wait and teasing me about it at Euroblast made me even more curious, especially how the snare sounds!! Looking forward to stage 4 - see ya on tour in Switzerland :)
I dont realy like to compare drummers but postones has a knack for the same thing as Jason Rullo from Symphony X and that is the ability to make the beat sound simple and complicated at the same time and making smooth transitions with clear accents that are easy to comprehend for non drummers. Simply beutifull playing.
One of my favorites in the modern progressive metal scene!
Tight !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All time favorite band! Can't wait to see you guys in November!
Love you're drumming sir love you
That snare sounds amazing and lets be honest, its the most important drum on any kit. I certainly hope you get to work with Crush to perhaps make an entire kit to further your "voice" on the drums and if you do i hope you will record the journey for us who draw inspiration from your work.
Thank you for sharing and i cant wait to hear more!
Jay - You ROCK! Nobody in the progressive scene can lay down a groove like you can brother! Keep feeding us the ear candy. :)
try a stack combination with a 16 - 19 china on the bottom. it will cut through 100x more than that one
siiiiiiiiiiick
You should just adopt the nickname 'Ghost'. Because those ghost notes are sick. I came for the music, stayed for the paranormal activity.
watching this being high is the best shit ever.
So smooth. It takes a lot to make this kind of music groove but you pull it off!
Sick, I can't stop listening to this song. I love your drumming style, can't wait to see you guys this tour!
You're one hell of a drummer Jay!
That hi-hat pedal going along with the kick... are you using your third leg sir?
That China is beautiful. Great sound and also looks amazing.
That Holy China sounds glorious
I've always been confused by this Jay - do you write your drum parts, or does Acle? Acle is credited as composer in the album notes, but I'm not sure to what extent that means.
+Jonas Wellingham I think it was on a Reddit AMA that they said Acle writes them and then Jay just learns them.
I did think it was that way, but I've never been sure.
Acle writes the beat ideas when he's writing the music and I interpret them for the most part. Over time I try to turn them into my own.
This is the first time since 'One' that we've actually jammed to get some ideas. Hexes was born out of a morning jam down in Devon earlier in the year and I can personally tell the process was different as it has a very different vibe.
+Jay Postones YES HEXES DRUM COVER! I love that middle part where the beats just go completely insane.
+Emiliano Sodano they sound very real to me, but enhanced with samples
Crazy Drummer 👍🎶🥁
great teacher, really a pioneer in the genre. greetings from Argentina
Another level of drumming
So good!
Thank you four All!! YOu Are The Best!!!!!!
beautiful
My girlfriend and I are huge fans! We can't wait to see you guys in February at Koko. Going to be epic!
Look at 3:03, the ghosts do exist !!!
On his fuckin' snare they exist
Damn
I love your drumming d00d. Big inspiration since the first TesseraT stuff came out

3:01 Magic!
Any particular master you've been understanding polyrhythms from? I had a lot of workshops with Dan Foord from Sikth many a year ago discussing these kinds of rhythms and I've begun to love them a lot. Still worshipping Thomas Haake as the master but sir you are begin to become a lovely little idle in my rhythm obsessions. Truly remarkable understanding of rhythm and feeling, love it. Learned and seen a huge improvement in my own music from playing and learning your stuff.
Where did it come from though? Enlighten me oh rhythmical master.
awesome sauce
wow
will you guys be doing another bunch of studio playthrough's like you did with concealing fate? I would love to see that!
Good cover!
So crisp
That holy china sounds perfect
Awesome job! Keep it up bro
How the fuck can someone neg vote this? this is awesome. new to tesseract and am proud to call myself a fan.
Super good (:
So cool, love the album!! :`)
Amazing!!
Smooth as fuck as usual.
Bello !
...amazing Jay ,can you please "do" Utopia when you have the time??? pretty please....... :) ."Congrats" from Portugal
a masterpiece \m/
so good to see a drum cam again. great great greeaaaaaaaaaaaat job.
but that is not the track that is on the album right? this here sounds like "more". and i like it that you used that "nocturne snare pattern" somewhat.
This is the album track but with a new live drum recording
i hope you will play this "new" recording live. sounds really dope. maybe even better then eden 2.0
Hi Jay! i think you're the best Modern Metal Drummer, for sure! that sound is great. What is the snare drumhead? G2 or Heavyweight? thanks for your videos, greetings from Chile!
Nice sound :)
That was the filming I've ever seen on a drum video can't wait to see you guys in philly!! what kind of software do you use for editing?
+binzianer they definitely are on the album
