Thanks everyone! I know I goofed on it about half way through. It was literally my second time ever playing that song on a kit. It was good enough that Matt asked me to do it for the rest of the tour ( which was only a week ). Either way, it was fun and it was something I've always wanted to do. I should have some more footage up soon!
How the hell is he only a drum tech. This is so good, honestly. If he likes being a drum tech, then I guess that's fine. I wonder if OM&M even gave him a chance to do this...he deserves it.
Friggin' Rad, honestly how many drummers will stand aside and let a homie play a signature song for them during a show. Matt is da man. and the dude pretty much nailed it, all the key parts and rolls were spiffy.
mad props to lionel who stepped up and looked like he was having a good time. and props to abr and matt for displaying exactly what playing music is all about, having a good time.
I've known about this guy since he was the drum tech for of mice & men such a humble guy and incredible drummer. He has a beautiful family and my wife is obsessed with his wife's tattoo work he did a phenomenal job on this set. No matter the mistakes he made he got right back on tempo and absolutely killed it what an honor to get Matt's approval.
Dude you've gained a lot more of my respect! For me, you're not just my favorite band's drum tech. You've now become one of my heroes. Thank you & I hope to meet you soon! :) *cheers from the Philippines!*
Just because August Burns Red screams in all of their songs doesn't mean they're evil, and doesn't encourage any violence towards anybody. Take the time to actually read their lyrics before you start criticizing these awesome musicians. They're actually really good people.
he also at 1:40, after smiling to Matt, missed the 2nd cymbal crash. BOOM. eyes of a God. Still amazing though that he pulled this off on only the second time playing the song.
Wow, Lionel, all I can say is, that was phenomenal! :) You kept time and played the part very well, especially for your second time! Impressive my man! So much fun to watch you, I couldn't stop smiling, thinking, "Yea man! Go!" All the best! :)
He played when setting up for OM&M and he was the best drummer at the venue. He was just the tech but I had to track him down and figure out who he was. That was 10 years ago and I got to watch him succeed.
i cant help but laugh in amazment when i great shit like this, i know this guy from letlive i got to meet him at namn show n got a master class with him a bit later hes an awesome dude and helped with a big rugh spot in my playing. :3
This guy did amazing. Somebody was clearly playing with him though at the end. The random cymbal hit at 2:45 was funny. This guys for real though, fantastic job.
You have some mighty powerful friends bro.. This guy was freakin awesome!!! Could tell that he wasn't 100% sure of the song due to it being only his 2nd time, yet he's managed to pull off an awesome cover... if I was there, would totally go give him a big pat on the back. Great Job!! :)
The aux kit is at the side of the stage because it's been taken away for their "encore" once the drum solo is finished. Matt is just playing at the end of the video on the snare at some parts, like when he drops his stick, Matt fills it in on the snare.
look,i want to say. you are very very very good drummer. and i Believe that soon, your skills will be much higher. i dont know why,but right now i felt that. !!!
Dat fucking save you did, when you dropped the stick oh my! Didn't even realize you dropped the stick (or it broke whatever) before watching this video a bunch of times. Well played man.

Loniel Robinson on a scale of 1-10 how tired were you at the end of the song.....
This is amazing
@@H2MOVIEMAKERS 8!
@Faisal Lee Thank you!
Dude, you crushed it!!! Killer skills from the throne, and wow, what a cool opportunity
He's the drum tech and he has enough skill to be the main drummer of any of those bands
Now he is! (He's the drummer for letlive. now) :)
SamJC Drums
no shit?!? saw them on audiotree. this dude has some SERIOUS gospel chops. it's awesome.
1:20 disagrees lmfaoooo great recovery though
@@iHomelessMonkey ooooh let's ignore the whole drumming just because of that part...geez
@@nicholasnunes hey man sorry for noticing, drums are hard and he does a great job
Anyone who can play that track with 98 percent accuracy deserves to be in their own band.
thanks bro
WOW, I CONCUR!!! MOST DEFINATELY!
For only his second time to play that song.. Wow thats impressive
Me and my friends drove from Atlanta to Tennessee to see this show when it came thru. Soooo worth it.
This dude now plays drums in letlive
+Duncan Crichton Drums Thought he looked familiar! I saw the Wednesday. They put on a good show.
*played , rip boys
Love ABR. All good, positive dudes. Anyone else catch Jake come up to encourage the drummer at 1:44?
MehsterChief abr is the best hands down
hes saying if you fail once more you go out actually lol
@@LukaS-yn4ir Hahaha. Sadly, no.
Loniel Robinson what actually happened there? I’m dying for some clarification
@@MatDeCesare He was basically saying "you got this". Same as he did every night for the rest of the tour.
When I saw of mice and men in October this year, he looked at me and threw me Tino's drum stick, what a top guy!
How the hell is he only a drum tech. This is so good, honestly. If he likes being a drum tech, then I guess that's fine. I wonder if OM&M even gave him a chance to do this...he deserves it.
Sometimes people prefer to be a tech. Getting drums to sound perfect and have everything working properly is satisfying in and of itself
Yeah that’s insane
Dude deserves to with the alternative press award.
That was so much fun watching! I don't care if he messed up and dropped sticks, I love that he was having a blast
...amazing...even recovering from his mistakes. wish i was half the drummer that guy is
this was legit awesome
I just like the god damn smiles on his face when he is playing with them, made me laugh and get into it more.
1:20 His face and him saying "Oh, fuck." Priceless. Hella good though.
amazing
People who don’t play drums don’t realize how impressive it is to see anyone cover ABR on drums
Friggin' Rad, honestly how many drummers will stand aside and let a homie play a signature song for them during a show. Matt is da man. and the dude pretty much nailed it, all the key parts and rolls were spiffy.
mad props to lionel who stepped up and looked like he was having a good time. and props to abr and matt for displaying exactly what playing music is all about, having a good time.
It's the imperfections that make things incredible.
Couldn’t imagine playing with my favorite band like this my adrenaline would be through the roof. Great job man

That was awesome!!!! Loved his face when the lights flashed!!!
they are awesome!
Absolutely crushed it and then some!!!! Awesome job!!!!
Regardless of the parts where he "improvised" or didn't really know where the song was, I think he did a fantastic job! Get set Loniel Robinson!
Watching this makes me smile every time🤘
I like how encouraging jake and matt are! Haha super clean tom work too!!
Just because August Burns Red screams in all of their songs doesn't mean they're evil, and doesn't encourage any violence towards anybody. Take the time to actually read their lyrics before you start criticizing these awesome musicians. They're actually really good people.
Must have been awesome to watch someone playing your drum part. He did a great job!
he also at 1:40, after smiling to Matt, missed the 2nd cymbal crash. BOOM. eyes of a God. Still amazing though that he pulled this off on only the second time playing the song.
What ever man.. this guy played it awesome!!
I love when Matt just pops up and is like "Fuckyes, this guy can play this :D"
Wow, Lionel, all I can say is, that was phenomenal! :) You kept time and played the part very well, especially for your second time! Impressive my man! So much fun to watch you, I couldn't stop smiling, thinking, "Yea man! Go!" All the best! :)
This is why i love this band Matt is seriously the coolest fucking man to let someone guest drum
He played when setting up for OM&M and he was the best drummer at the venue. He was just the tech but I had to track him down and figure out who he was. That was 10 years ago and I got to watch him succeed.
Definitely proud to be your sister Lionel ❤️ Love you 🤞🏾💫
I played ps3 with Loniel :D
Nailed the song 99%, recovered from a mess up, and a broken stick… wyld!
i am in love with this video!
If matt was giving thumbs up and I saw his jaw drop I would freaking die
Dude I was there and honestly as a drummer you couldn't even tell. It was so minor.
Holy crap, nice work Lionel. Hard work payed off.
i cant help but laugh in amazment when i great shit like this, i know this guy from letlive i got to meet him at namn show n got a master class with him a bit later hes an awesome dude and helped with a big rugh spot in my playing. :3

+ChadtheawesomeODellx One of the guitarist comes over for this part and helps with the breakdown
