I just watched the Bilmuri live show from 6 moths ago and was blown away by the drummer. And here he is, the man himself ripping this song a new A hole. Dude is a machine
Jeezus, I don't think I've ever laughed out loud while watching a drumvideo like this before. Not because it was bad, but because dude was so badass energetic flying around the kit, AND stayed in pocket while sticks be flying around. Somebody get this guy the job in Polyphia stat! Awesome performance!!!
The stock drop and recovery really is nice, feels like it isn't edited from multiple takes which a lot of drum videos are these days, amazing playing as well 🤘
Amazing playing! Fantastic movement around the kit. Crossing over with the left hand to reach that distant floor-tom with that much speed and power is truly remarkable.
I've seen this guy in person 2 or 3 times (even got to play his kit during an open jam afterwards) and I have to say, dude's gotta be the best drummer I've had the pleasure of interacting with and witnessing live. This video doesn't even touch how good he is.
By far my favorite drummer right now. So inventive and refreshing. I’m bummed Bilmuri sold out in my city before I could get a ticket. Can’t wait to see more of Xavier
Wao! Súper! Wao! Que emocionante! Jajajaja. A Xavier me quitó el sombrero, mis aplausos y ovación, que gusto verlo tocar esa batería, me impulsa a querer seguir practicando con intensidad. Y respecto a Meinl les hizo un excelente trabajo propagandístico, jugó con cuanto platillo pudo. fué una delicia "eufórica" escuchar a baterista y platillos. Cuántos dólares le pagaron? Pagenle el doble jajajaja. Saludos desde Colombia.
Clearly an excellent drummer, don’t want to downplay that or take anything away from this man. But there’s too much going on for my taste. Sometimes less is more in my opinion.
What the above guy says. Also these guys have a professional attitude, they do practice/rehearse before takes like these (and what you're seeing is usually not the first take and often even a multi-take vid). That doesn't diminish the performance, it's how things are. These dudes are incredibly good and make sure they look good thru practice and/or preparation.
He is the best artist on the Meinl roster..he is the future we need him on all the festivals I don’t play Meinl because meinl is not big on the black drum community..it just is that way we either go Z or Sabian…this is making a big statement..I might just consider buying some M’s
Depends on where you look....there's Sput Searight, Chris Coleman, Josh Crawford, and others I can't think of right now.....oh, the woman with the military background, great drummer....aargh, can't remember her name....
@byrondrummerberg4442 Meinl not big on the black drum community?...Really?...I think Chris Coleman ,Sput Searight,Taron Lockett,Calvin Rodgers,TK Johnson,Jharis Yokley,Devin Way,RJ Kelly,Frank Fluker,David Chiverton,Isaiah Weatherspoon, would all disagree
That one hand saving was out of this world ❤
Dropping a stick is his signature move honestly!
My guy dropped a stick and still sounded pure fire!

He has been touring with Bilmuri, and let me tell you it is a treat!
Love the playing, the energy and the brillant stick drop save 😅👏🙌!

It is going to be great when everyone gets to witness his drumming! He has been amazing for a while.

Quickly a top 5 favorite of mine. Dude's a shredder and also hella musical.
1:40 smooth
This guy is one of my favorites. His style. His energy. One of the best
Meinl: “alright man, we really want to display the sound of these cymbals in this vid.”
Xavier: “say less…”
this is absolutely incredible!
I love how much he's feeling it! That's how you do it!!
One of favorite drummers playing one of my favorite songs and killing it. Can't ask for anything more!
Without video impossible to ear the part drumstick broke 💪 amazing
Very very extremly good performance 🙏🥁
What a beast. This guy is insane. Just met him and already love him. Holy shit
Finally someone who uses those gorgeous brilliant hats. And that SNARE oml
For real! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone on the Meinl China use the brilliant hats
By far my favorite drummer right now. So inventive and refreshing. I’m bummed Bilmuri sold out in my city before I could get a ticket. Can’t wait to see more of Xavier

Xavier reminds me of a slightly skinnier slightly faster and metal Larnell
Giving up on life
X gon give it to you
how the fuck do people remember this much stuff
Hours and hours of practice, a discipline that has quickly disappeared with the majority of today's generations.

I dare somebody to tell this guy that less is more. 😂
Damn amazing dude ... Much more powerful than CLAY 🤘🏻🥁🤘🏻
todos os pratos tem som de china
This is sickening. Dude gonna put Obamacare out of business. 😅🔥🔥🔥☄️☄️☄️
Comeu com farinha 😊
La verdad lo veo un poco tieso jaja
Wait. Polyphia has a new drummer?
No.
1st
que? JAJAJ
He is the best artist on the Meinl roster..he is the future we need him on all the festivals I don’t play Meinl because meinl is not big on the black drum community..it just is that way we either go Z or Sabian…this is making a big statement..I might just consider buying some M’s
why it gotta be about race?

speak for yourself

Seriously couldn't have asked for them to do another take after he dropped his stick? Dude held it together but shitty of the camera crew.
You know nothing Jon Snow.
Amazing technic. But I never thought that its possible in polyphia song but in my opinion but you little bit overplayed =)
Holy shit
