I love how he plays those fuck off insane beats without lashing those cymbals like an epileptic madman. Very nice touch amd technique. He even holds his stick like an afternoon tea pot. Dude's the shit...
I love how the crowd doesn't move because they're too busy performing all of the calculations while simultaneously trying to hold all that math in their head.
Meta really is the sound of the future! Was lovely chatting with you and Jon after your show in Sweden this tour. Was pretty unexpected to chat about Autechre and Aphex Twin, took a while to get that grin off of my face
that part at 1:56 gets me going, favorite part of constant sleep. I don't believe I've ever seen a drummer go from blast beat to cymbal choke! wtf! haha, brutal!!! I could about believe you are a cyborg.
Holy fuck this is like a mix of Ion Dissonance and Circle of Contempt. That snare sound so fucking good... PLEASE COME TO EDMONTON, AB CANADA. You guys are fucking pioneers. The last two release’s are so ahead of most stuff being released in this genre. Excellent raw talent. Fucking unique, intricate and heavy. More records
That One Slayer Fan in their defence, they're probably still trying to calculate everything they just heard to this very day. My first time hearing them, it was hard for me to really into it because I was so stuck in trying to figure out this new sound.
Hey, not sure if you'll see this, but thought I might ask- I think someone in a RUclips comment said that you trigger the stage lighting for Car Bomb gigs via your drum kit. Is that true? Also loving the notes jotted on the head of the snare, haha
Late response... No they dont and im pretty sure the lights are the drums connected to MIDI that trigger the lights. must be fun to play around with though
@@elliotjhoffman holy shit hey man! I was enjoying Secrets Within and thought "that ride looks similar design and tad bigger than my 21" fuckin awesome that you use them the sweet rides are my fav for sure, I would love to try the K alternatives!
This may or may not be true, but I'm sure I read somewhere that Elliot sometimes faces away from the band in rehearsals so that he doesn't rely on any cues from other band mates regarding timing! Hardcore!
i love that one bit thats all like chupchupchupchupchupchupchup
Literally know exactly what part your describing. Well done

Jesus fuck man, I don't know what kind of radioactive shit they feed you in the ground water of NY. Whatever it is, I love you
lmfao Fin. You know you like the Meta broseph

You too man! I totally remember that :-)
@@elliotjhoffman you're the best
Meta album of the year!
AND NOW Mordial for 2019!!
@@fleamarketfloppydisk respect for coming back
Car Bomb live dvd soon?
Gratitude ♡
Incredible playing, but I'm pretty sure i have epilepsy now.
Shake it for us, bro...
Saw you guys in Manchester, supporting Gojira and felt like i was the only person there for you.
You did not disappoint anyways. :D
that part at 1:56 gets me going, favorite part of constant sleep. I don't believe I've ever seen a drummer go from blast beat to cymbal choke! wtf! haha, brutal!!! I could about believe you are a cyborg.
Check out Gene Hoglan, he does stuff like that (cymbal chokes amongst blast beats), his blasts are really unique and cool.
Meta is the most exciting listening experience I've had in fucking ages. I really hope you guys get to Ireland in the future!
I wish I could hear Gratitude for the first time again. Such an amazing intro and song.
These guys just shot up to the top of my "Bands to see live" list.
Seeing them live is what made me a fan. Changed my perception on music!
this actually is the greatest video ever uploaded to the internet
The way you mix technicality and tasteful groove blows my mind
amazing band and incredible complex patterns!!!
Holy shit!!! This drummer is now in my top 5 favs!
Ye gods, that SNARE
secrets within might be the dirtiest metal song ever created, those riff's man
Yes I agree
Joëll Gaertner indeed
that fucking ending of Secrets Within, you can't not headbang, holy fuck.
Outstanding job..thanks Elliot
Confused as to why the crowd seems so calm. This is an onslaught of energy!!! WAKE UP!!!
its advanced metal, the one it can be difficult to headbang to lmao
Insane .... I love it from the start to the end.
Amazing man. Much respect 🙌
Awesome! Is it me or does he have that super-tight snare sound I associate with 90's hardcore like 108, Shelter, and maybe even Helmet?
Snapcase had that super tight high pitch snare sound too- fuckin classic hXc snare sound for sure.
I hear that a lot of extreme metal drummers like high pitch snares because it cuts through the mix better
@@incongruous4 that and imo it gives better rebound/stick feel
Man, fuck, respect, my brain just melted. Also, Tomas Haake on the lights is melting my eyes.
Did Thomas do the lights ?
I wish there was a dislike button solely for the audience. what scrubs.
Fuck.
I quit.
Epic, should have very very many subscribers
ultimate awesomness
This is the most extreme shit I've seen. I loved twisting my neck to this live
OMFG LOOK AT THE CROWD, ITS NOT MOVING AT ALL WTF
It's a Gojira crowd who think they know complexity being confronted with the real deal! ha.
@@BlueCrayon77 can confirm. Saw the exact same thing in Manchester. Watching the Gojira fans try to headbang to this was hilarious
more videos pls and maybe also album making of/docus :D?
Amazing
That fucking pop on his snare!!!
Oh god I need to see you guys
Going on tour w between the buried and me in March
that surprise breakdown though.
DeewarPutr it didn't surprise me
you must be un-suprisable. Someone like Stephen Hawking.
DeewarPutr Lol nah. On the studio version of black blood the breakdown fades out then they bring it back so I felt it coming here
no worries you don't get what I meant.
Freaking insaaaane! What's that writing on the snare?
Thanks man! Just a little section on the snare that I kept fucking up every night :-)
Elliot Hoffman YOU?! Fucking up something?! That's seems so far fetched. New IMMEDIATE fan, I will not rest until I cover a song of yours.
5:56 that part right with the kick drums hits me in a weird way
Iv listen to that part about 30 times
Please record a Nonagon or Lights Out play through. And i guess while you're at it do all the rest of the songs too. haha, Cheers!
also what's that trashy stacked cymbal you hit right at the beginning of Constant Sleep?
90's Zildjian "trash hats". essentially a 16" oriental china with a 14" oriental crash on top.
New crashes? Sounds awesome!
Those snare hits at 5:30 kill! \m/ \m/
Holy fuck this is like a mix of Ion Dissonance and Circle of Contempt.
That snare sound so fucking good... PLEASE COME TO EDMONTON, AB CANADA. You guys are fucking pioneers. The last two release’s are so ahead of most stuff being released in this genre. Excellent raw talent. Fucking unique, intricate and heavy. More records
Holy fuck!
that fucking snare tone! wish I could have heard it at this show! amazing! honestly Superior to even the greatest grinders snares.
Nice! Keep it up!
um hey front row (except for that one dude) are you even listening
Fucking monster!! - BR PORRA!
Hoffman just may not be human!!!! Fucking on a entire different level! Awesome!!!
God damn can Elliot play 🤘🏻
Tomas in EU, Helliott in NA. force balanced eventually is.
Tell Elliot Hoffmanica, it's time to celebrate Hannukah!
I know I'm a year late, but is your username a reference to a DEP song by any chance?
nigga this is insane
mac c. word
Man that crowd doesn't deserve to hear these guys! No hype, no mosh, nothing! MOVE YA BASTERDS, YOU'RE LISTENING TO THE FUTURE OF METAL
That One Slayer Fan in their defence, they're probably still trying to calculate everything they just heard to this very day. My first time hearing them, it was hard for me to really into it because I was so stuck in trying to figure out this new sound.
You made me cringe for the whole decade
This ain't mosh metal
Hey, not sure if you'll see this, but thought I might ask-
I think someone in a RUclips comment said that you trigger the stage lighting for Car Bomb gigs via your drum kit. Is that true? Also loving the notes jotted on the head of the snare, haha
HOW
Jamming in the key of drum.
This is so cool! guitar is like schn schn schn, drums are like pum pum pumpum mm pum ta ta tatata crshhh crshhhh
Do you guys really not use a click?! That blows my mind. 😵 And if that's the case how do you guys program the lights?
Late response... No they dont and im pretty sure the lights are the drums connected to MIDI that trigger the lights. must be fun to play around with though
Good ol' tin can snare, fucking love it
Hahaha! The crowd just stands there, stunned. Seriously, how the fuck does any human being remember that stuff?
MADMAN
Cam? More darker i still can see something... great!!!!
Fucking machine
That shirt is sick lol
dude, ear jizz
there's no way your're telling me these dudes haven't done acid
Meta is beyond dope!
Classic oriental for the win
The audience looking like "does not compute".
Snare specs?
yamaha sd 493
On the album too? No more Brady?
Is that the set list written on your snare?
Hey man, are you using a sweet ride in this vid? :)
Yeah, 23" A Sweet, Also been using the 23" K sweet since it came out
@@elliotjhoffman holy shit hey man! I was enjoying Secrets Within and thought "that ride looks similar design and tad bigger than my 21" fuckin awesome that you use them the sweet rides are my fav for sure, I would love to try the K alternatives!
People thought zildjian ks were for jazz. Lol
Does he play to a click?
On Talmor click plays to him
@@stephenb6177yeah the one only he is able to hear
Dead crowd.
Do you play to a click?
No not at all with CB, Just sometimes when practicing by myself.
Damn. You guys must have the best counting of any band. Thanks for your reply!
This may or may not be true, but I'm sure I read somewhere that Elliot sometimes faces away from the band in rehearsals so that he doesn't rely on any cues from other band mates regarding timing! Hardcore!
Elliot Hoffman don't you guys use ableton to run your light show? If you don't use a click how do you keep your lights in sync with your playing?
Using midi from kiks & snare to greg. All realtime, no click or show file.
dave grohl's better... ;)
jdgonzo1982 fuck no!!!!
