Anup's probably watching this thinking "How does he play the drums without wearing a hoodie?!" Thanks for the weekly playthroughs, Mike, they are immensely appreciated!
Well spotted! In the pre-breakdown you can see the hihat loosening and becoming extremely wide. Go ahead and look again at my super scared facial expression as it's opening up super wide. Amazingly it kept just enough friction until right till the end of the build-up.. I think I only lost 1 or 2 chiks of the hat! Still enough to aggravate me but worth keeping in!
Leviathan was the first Monuments track I heard and prompted me to explore the rest of their catalog. I found my new favorite band and Leviathan is still in the top 10 for me but I'm so glad I found you. My biggest ache is still not finding the lyrics for Horcrux and Quasimodo. Unleashing Andy and Mike with Lavos has been a culmination of awesomeness that I don't think I'll see rivaled soon. The way Browne gets so aggressive on the chugs ramps the adrenaline so hard!
Dude you are very quickly rising through my ranks of drummers... I'm annoyed I only found your name not long ago... Love it dude and please keep the current line up in monuments going for a album atleast :) Andy is beastly and you guys are in final form :)
Love the fact that you’re taking the time to make sure the covers are as least edited as possible. Let’s us know that even the best make mistakes! ❤️❤️🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I don’t know how I am just now finding this after a lifetime in loving metal and making music… but you sir, are sick with it! Instant sub and looking forward to hearing more from you! 🍻🤘🏻
Men , so tight , clean , beautiful dj0nt groovie shit going on right there bro , i know almost every song of monuments on drums , i really enjoy the composition that u made on the band
Good to see you well and kicking (on actual drums)! This song is my favourite from the album, both the guitar riffs and drums are so well tied together. I also really enjoy the vocals (which I realised when listening to the instrumental xD).
Love the play through definitely will have to check out more stuff from monuments. I had heard your name through Tesseract from the portals shoe and was just wowed by your playing. Hopefully I could find some drum tabs from portals and try and play them, I’ve gotten down a groove from of matter-Proxy as best I could just by ear.
The guitar parts sound a little different to me! Is it a demo track? Sounds like they're live or a little faster even! Brilliant drumming again! Fkin love this band to bits.
Lol, I just watched this video and was so impressed that I was going to say something in the comments, but then I saw that I already did 5 months ago 🤣

The opposite is certainly true.
How can you play in a hoodie!!!??!?n INTERROBANG
It blows my mind how consistent your playing is. Absolutely sick.
did anyone saw how he fixed hi-hat while playing?

Soooooo groooooovy Mike!! Early stuff is just as groovy as leviathan, 98% static, Blue Sky Thinking and I, the Creator are a few
Dude that was fucking nutty.
How am I discovering this only now
Love the fact that you’re taking the time to make sure the covers are as least edited as possible. Let’s us know that even the best make mistakes! ❤️❤️🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
js. you're absolutely nutty. Those cymbal chokes were so perfect, especially for a first take.
One of my favorite Monuments tracks. Just love your playing Mike.
Love your raw energy and the expressiveness of everything you play, it's like you know exactly what the song sounds like in your head.
man, absolutely amazing, love the ghost notes. watching drummers play always amazes me
perfecto
Really impressive! Such a great performance of a sick song! lml You´re awesome!
hands down my favorite drummer dude! I loved your performance with David Micic in the Who Bit The Moon tour back in 2017
I don’t know how I am just now finding this after a lifetime in loving metal and making music… but you sir, are sick with it! Instant sub and looking forward to hearing more from you! 🍻🤘🏻
Mike your awesome man, probably my favorite drummer, the sheer passion, precision and attention to detail makes me one happy man 👌

But your skills are next level dude
Your accents are able to transform a beast of a riff into an absolutely godly one! Truly inspiring stuff man. Thank you!
Immense!
Oh man, HEAVY and groovy.....EXCELLENT!
Good to see you well and kicking (on actual drums)! This song is my favourite from the album, both the guitar riffs and drums are so well tied together. I also really enjoy the vocals (which I realised when listening to the instrumental xD).
Awesome work dude! Every performance has me waiting for the next!!
Nailed it. I thought you kept it in its original, meaty fashion, while giving it your style, win win.
;) Nicely done. Great playing.
Love that song ! And what an awesome and inspiring playing dude
Gundam had a War in the Pocket. You got that DJENT in the pocket. LETS GO
Absolutely my fav song of that release! Keep it going Mike! (I never was that early :s)
So good!

Beast mode Mike! :D Jukai or The Watch coming soon? ;)
hell yeah. i wish bands would fucking release instrumental versions of their albums.
Awesome!
Damn dude, super clean. What is that off to the right, hats or a stack? If it's a stack, what is it? Sounds sick.
Flawless hi-hat adjustment haha
ª
Your the best frère
I made it 150 like..oh yeah..Mike you killing it!!!
Damn awesome !!!!!!

So good 🤙
I like the part with Mike
How much free reign do you normally take with the parts from Phronesis? This versions sounds so sick, loving these uploads Mike!
I try to tow the line between honouring the original and doing what feels right to me
@@MalyanDrum I think you struck a good balance, this feels pretty different to the record version but still carries the energy and groove really well.
@@MalyanDrum the originals are hell boring, just do whatever you want mang
hi wuja, nice cover
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Delicious !
This creates euphoria in my everywhere.
You move around the kit like Matt Gartzka.
🤘🙌🤘🙌🤘🙌🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This would be a challenge for my Goldfish Brain.
I have that same Logitech wireless keyboard + mouse combo for use with my Home Theater PC 😂
LMAO
