This is the first DT song I ever heard and I always find myself tapping out the beat at some point through the day. Every day. It is one of the most iconic drum intros ever IMO
@@aaronboland3445 IIrc, in the full video this excerpt is from, he was shown adjusting right side cymbals to get it the same distance away from the MICS as the left side cymbals so there are some mics above the camera :)
I haven't listened to this song in probably 2 decades... even so... I remembered every hit and every transition... you nailed it bro. Now I gotta break out the old CDs and give this whole album a listen again. \m/
That was delicious. I imagine when you played the double kick splash part, you were as excited as I was. Just to be clear, I was pretty excited for you.
the very first song of Dream Theater that i've considered as a WEIRD song. 😂 I know about this album so late it was when i've already have 3 DT albums : images & words, falling into infinity, scenes from a memory. the album "Awake" was fell under my radar. six o'clock was the first song i've heard. "is this dream theater?" while cringing, was my first reaction. by the time i bought the album and hearing all the song inside, i fell in love. Mike considered this album not make a big hit like images and words but damn... this album itself is a masterpiece that didn't fell behind images & words.
Such a recognizable start to an album. Iconic in the world of prog. One of my favorite DT albums. My favorites tend to alternate a bit. But Awake is always in my top 3.
Been watching the hilarity plus drums for a while but when I heard you learning a song the same way I do on drumeo with the audio cues that are sooo goofy whilst killing the drums on such an odd old song, gotta say. Love it
That there sir, werz shweet purrfection 😎👌 I can totally see you touring with Dream Theater and Mike, to have two drummers!!! 😃 YES!!! Can you just freaking imagine that tour??!!! 🤯💨😳😵💫🫢🤭😁🤣 Been listening to this clip loop for fourteen minutes and loving it like its the first time 🤘😎
Sounds so good I get excited when I hear drums mixed and played by someone extremely talented. Awesome man, love it. It all sounds wonderful but dang those hi-hats stand out so bright.
That snare sound is SEX
Its from the jay weinberg library from mixwave

Just came across this video and I was thinking the same thing. The dynamics are craaaaaazy
Quite possibly the sickest drum intro ever and you fucking nailed it! Bravo!
My favourite drummer playing my other favourite drummers song. Perfect.
Sublime. An example of when "busy" suits the music perfectly.
This has that Change of Seasons snare sound. Love it.
Finally, a dream theater song
It’s really good but my favorite is the mirror
@@Mrmicrowaveman3personally I love Pull Me Under, even though it's like one of they're most popular
He’s done The Dance of Eternity.
@@bobbyseelye92 yea without octobons
the groove is insane 🔥

Dude, Awake is in constant rotation for me still.
@@Brandon-zn8rfsame...
HOLLY PROG BATMAN ! 😮 SAMUS YOU are a very Talented young man!! ❤❤
THIS WAS THE SONG THAT HOOKED ME ON DREAM THEATER ♥️
That tom roll gets me every time.
My favorite drum intro and you SMOKED it. Nicely done.
Tightest..cleanest playing I have heard in years
One of the best songs to fall in love with Mike’s high hat playing
That was delicious. I imagine when you played the double kick splash part, you were as excited as I was. Just to be clear, I was pretty excited for you.
Dude's a freakin machine. So flawless and effortless, wow.
All I hear is "6:00 on a Christmas morning". One of my fav DT songs!!!
That intro…legendary! Nailed it, Samus!
I actually opened RUclips at exactly 6:00am on a pre thanksgiving morning and this is the first video recommended. Top notch, Augustus!
Dude this was amazing! Your double kicks are so spot on and your speed is crazy! My fave RUclips drummer
Wish more bands recorded albums like this. Amazing record
That octagon intro is so nice in that song.
Octoban*
@@GreenSteedaGT Right my bad.
@@gustafbstrom Some MMA fighter should use it as their Octagon entrance/intro song now :D
I've had this stuck in my head for two days and you upload this.
You're like Nostradamus. What's Samus gonna do next??
@@salty_snowboarder He's gonna fart, but I can't guarantee he'll upload the footage.
You are such a great player. Thank you for this level of commitment.
