if it wasn't for avenged i would never have heard of brooks, but he's the best drummer i've ever seen. perfect blend of metal and fusion chops, super musical and diverse. like a blend of vinnie paul, vinnie colaiuta, thomas haake and thomas lang lol
@@punker13punker He fucking drestroys on that album, I didn't realize Brooks drummed for ST for the longest time. That snare tone is so good on Freedumb
I'm so happy for Brooks being able to show the world how much of a talent he really is. Brooks was in Bad Religion for 15 years and he was instantly my favorite drummer the moment I first heard a Bad Religion album with Sinister Rouge ruclips.net/video/DkXQBSSM0ts/видео.html I of course knew Bad Religion previously from Tony Hawks Underground. I was 9.
Agreed but honestly I don’t see much of anyone hate on brooks he seems to have respect in most genres even if sometimes someone doesn’t like avenged they will say he’s a beast drummer
I don't think Brooks is a great solo drummer, but I don't mean that in a way that takes away from his ability. I've loved just about everything he's put out on record.
Brooke is fucking incredible but Chad is literally incomprehensible. His sense of style and rhythm are so mind blowing. He did a live album with Allan Holdsworth, Alan Pasqua and Jimmy Haslip which is out of this world. All 4 are premier musicians who know not only how to play their instruments really well, but also how to interact with the other band members in a meaningful way that always drives the music forward. Chad's solos on that album are some of the best drumming you'll ever find
@@memelord22931 oh, no yeah. I didn't mean I thought Jimmy wasn't great, I love Jimmy. For me, it goes Jimmy, Brooks, Then Arin. There can never be a true replacement for The Rev #foREVer
Joey was a Full Beats. Suck that he got sick and of course, aged not that well. Slipknot First álbum was pure hate and badassness . Eyeore and disasterpiece are condensed evil.
crazy how fast he plays double bass considering those are single strokes thats not very common these days when drummers utilize heel toe and other techniques more.
@@i2xi392 hey thats a great drummer youve linked to but obviously i wasnt comparing to super fast tech death drummers. i know quite a few myself actually ironically enough john langstreth uses heel toe doubles in that video (not to take away anything from his insane talent)
I just learned heel toe about 8 months ago and I’m glad I played over 20 years without because I got to work on that speed but it’s insane the speed you can get tho.
I flipping love his toms, dw is amazing. He has been my favorite drummer for about two years now. He always knows how to incorporate something if needed. He fixes his mistakes immediately. Thanks for making this
I've never heard of Brooks before A7X and my God, I am absolutely blown away by his chops. The groove never stops for a second and yet every fill and beat is a technical marvel.
I wish he had a kit like this with Bad Religion. It would've been interesting. I dont understand why almost every punk band's drummer can only have a 4 piece kit. I don't know how that started but it doesn't make sense to me.
Brooks has always been overqualified for Bad Religion. It’s funny to think Greg would make fun of A7X in between songs when both were headlining Warped Tour. Look where A7X is now in comparison, selling out stadiums......and they poached his drummer! Karma is a real bitch! Jamie Miller gets my vote though
@@sfgiantfan78 I saw him fill in with the vandals at a warped tour once, he played the vandals set, then like 10 minutes later played the bad religion set
Interesting how it seems he has two different batter heads on the kick drums. I heard that some drummers prefers slightly different sounds from two bass drums.
The Last Knight Carry On : Basic punk beat the whole song. Not Ready To Die : Basic Four on the Floor beat. I’m not impressed. Once he writes something like double ride, then show me.
Brooks & Jimmy i love at the same time, arin was ok but he never fitted jimmys style and mike is overall god at what he does but still he wasn't permanent 😊
@@ralphlorenzperolino3054 Arin is a great drummer. He had to play their whole catalogue! Hail to the King was a stadium rock album and the music composition and theme needed exactly what Arin brought. He has good nuanced flashes of genius on the album. Is he as good as Brooks! Not even close. The kid is like 25 or something. Bright future ahead. I’ve been a drummer my whole life. Lol
@@dustinbryant9586 Agree with ya there. People forget he did Not Ready to Die and Carry On, both he did great on. He had some moments, just maybe not enough time to leave a huge mark. But yeah lol he's definitely not as amazing as Brooks, could get there tho!
Does anyone know that video that is super similar to the first one? It’s an outdoor stadium and those first little drum things he does at 0:00 - 0:03, he does it on like a symbol type thing? (Idk drum anatomy but it’s like a muted symbol) Edit: I found it, and I kind of misremembered it, but I’ll share it here because it’s so dope. This one is better then all in the video ruclips.net/video/X8LqsMQT8yg/видео.html
I was at the concert of the video you linked lol. Volbeat, Avenged Sevenfold, Metallica concert in Atlanta. Amazing show! Not ganna lie, I would love to look Lars in the face and point at Brooks and say "this is what a drummer looks like". Lmao
In terms of technical and percussion creativity, Brooks easily beats all the previous drummer. But in musical perspective, all people wouldn't simply love his drumming styles, its more like progressive metal, not many people could enjoy this genre.
if it wasn't for avenged i would never have heard of brooks, but he's the best drummer i've ever seen. perfect blend of metal and fusion chops, super musical and diverse. like a blend of vinnie paul, vinnie colaiuta, thomas haake and thomas lang lol
Check out his drumming with Bad Religion - killer stuff
Omg, really??? u really need to listen the album freedumb by suicidal tendencies
Can't think of a better description honestly. He is so dynamic.
@@punker13punker He fucking drestroys on that album, I didn't realize Brooks drummed for ST for the longest time. That snare tone is so good on Freedumb
did you listened Tenacious D?
Anyone: Brooks how fast do you play the double bass pedals?
Brooks: *yes*
Funny
I'm so happy for Brooks being able to show the world how much of a talent he really is. Brooks was in Bad Religion for 15 years and he was instantly my favorite drummer the moment I first heard a Bad Religion album with Sinister Rouge ruclips.net/video/DkXQBSSM0ts/видео.html
I of course knew Bad Religion previously from Tony Hawks Underground. I was 9.
it wasnt that fast, it was normal
Haha
Stop this meme immediately
3:25
the Stage alone is already a crazy intro for a song.
very happy he played with Avenged Sevenfold he totally fits in the band ! :D
Anyone who doesn't dig Brooks and Chad are crazy. These guys are seriously creative.
Agreed but honestly I don’t see much of anyone hate on brooks he seems to have respect in most genres even if sometimes someone doesn’t like avenged they will say he’s a beast drummer
Chad as in Chad Zeliga?
@@IsyMaxine Nah Chad Wackerman, he's Brooks' older brother, killer player too ;)
I don't think Brooks is a great solo drummer, but I don't mean that in a way that takes away from his ability. I've loved just about everything he's put out on record.

Brooks Wackerman is undefeated...
God, I'm so excited to see what A7X does with Brooks. Such a great replacement for Arin and Jimmy. The Stage had such good drums
Eh i still think jimmy better but brooks is a beast
@@memelord22931 oh, no yeah. I didn't mean I thought Jimmy wasn't great, I love Jimmy. For me, it goes Jimmy, Brooks, Then Arin. There can never be a true replacement for The Rev #foREVer
The Rev would be proud
He would be.
@@hazardgaminghg122 man, i see your comments everywhere 😂🤘
in my opinion, his double pedal footworks is better than joey jordison. he is more clear and solid. such an underrated drummer
Brooks ia amazing groove .he is multitalent drummer in the world.and playing on some genre musically.
Joey was a Full Beats. Suck that he got sick and of course, aged not that well. Slipknot First álbum was pure hate and badassness . Eyeore and disasterpiece are condensed evil.
anggera prasetyo Everything about his playing is better than Joey Jordison
@@andrewhassell9891 yes.. and his touching and his kick is sounds wide and clear, he is very detail and accurate.. damn..
@@andrewhassell9891 Joey was a solid drummer but people liked him becayse he wrote many songs and that's the thing where he beats Brooks
I just recognized these songs:
0:57 Nightmare
3:28 The Stage
5:15 Afterlife
I think most of these are solos
Such an underrated drummer ✌😵

I’m so glad brooks is playing with Avenged 😎😎👊🏼👊🏼
I follow brooks since his 17 years old with the cyco family and infectious grooves.my favourite drummer ever 🤘🏻
Quickly becoming my favorite drummer.
I loved brooks in Tenacious D and now love him even more in A7X. Hopefully the bands do some shows together that would be awesome
He's like if The Rev were sober.
My favourite drummer of all time and one of the main reasons I picked up the sticks
Person: You can't just sling chops and have it groove!
Brooks: Hold my beer
Hold my Wackerman*
I've never heard of Brooks before A7X and my God, I am absolutely blown away by his chops. The groove never stops for a second and yet every fill and beat is a technical marvel.
@@ExternusArmy you should hear him with Bad Religion!
Don’t forget. He is a terrific guitarist and songwriter.
He makes it looks so easy!
Damn he’s a Massively Unique Drummer.
2:46 that was insane 🔥
If the rev was still here I believe he would be this great!
Kyle Whitstine Seriously.... people say how many drummers are better than him but the rev is missing over 10 years of practice
He would way better surely, however he was genius and unique.
If the rev here, brook is just watching the rev.
That silver/chrome kit is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 love it. Controlled Sound heads look so good too
Him and Dana Carrey (TOOL) are my favorite ROCK drummers.
*Danny Carey* and I agree as well
Brooks is a GOD
All those voices singing together at download, beautiful
Yup, he's a beast..
good job brooks 🤘🇺🇸
I wish he had a kit like this with Bad Religion. It would've been interesting. I dont understand why almost every punk band's drummer can only have a 4 piece kit. I don't know how that started but it doesn't make sense to me.
Right, when I made the transition from punk to drummers like Jimmy Chamberlin, I realized how many vital components of the kit were missing.
Best drummer in the world, hands down.
5:33 AFTERLIFE
Such an amazing player
Es impresionantemente tecnico,por eso esta en una de las mejores bandas de metal 😎🎵🦇
That herta in the stage
Brooks is a Beast 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻😎
I miss Brooks in Bad Religion.
last chance blueprint wish he would have done both bands
Saw him play with the Vandals last night. I really like josh freeze but brooks was a great fill in

@@sfgiantfan78 I saw him fill in with the vandals at a warped tour once, he played the vandals set, then like 10 minutes later played the bad religion set
What a god
I love brooks, I love his playing but the only down fall he has is he lacks that animation when he’s playing that adds to watching him play
Lars ulrich has created 4 fake accounts to dislike this.
Lmao
Now 10 lol
Get those fkn likes up there y'all..hes better than I thought ..
Interesting how it seems he has two different batter heads on the kick drums. I heard that some drummers prefers slightly different sounds from two bass drums.
He is such a tall guy and it looks like his kit is setup so low for him.
It doesn't seem to hold him back the slightest bit though
It's because he uses minimum arm movement and mostly uses his wrists
He's probably as tall as Jimmy, but his drumsets looks smaller than Jimmy's one
I like Portnoy’s and Rev’s tom/cymbal work better but damn Brooks is clean as hell on the foot pedal.
Kevin Schumacher you cant deny the stage has some of the best drumming on it
Kevin Schumacher better than Arin Ilejay that’s for sure
@@user-sn9ms5ek1t carry on & Not ready to die
The Last Knight Carry On : Basic punk beat the whole song. Not Ready To Die : Basic Four on the Floor beat. I’m not impressed. Once he writes something like double ride, then show me.

Ex bad4good...
1:59 uffff wow
100 out of the rev
I am very proud of my brooks
How's it goin in heaven rev?
Jimmy !!😢❤️
Skyline Project not band might start a band with dio and dimebag

Arin sucked the band.

I was at the first show at Comerica Park in 2017. Avenged were great and Brooks was expecially great!
1:53 Bad Religion MODE
Is this the Son of Chad Wackerman?
Brother
This dude smokes Arin as a drummer.
It’s cool that Brooks is in Avenged now but all of his best work was done while in Bad Religion
Hes like the Eric Johnson of Drumming.
Tenacious d anyone

Too bad Brooks wasn't on the Nightmare album. He would have brought so much more color.
Ohh yeah ya'll should see what he did with bad religion. If know you know.
brooks nots a human ....
Very good and fast. But overplays big time
why the fuck does a punk band need such a drummer---
there you can see the rise or downfall depending on the drummer: bad religionl.
There’s a reason why his last name is “WACKERman”
if he had more showmanship and stage presence he would be the greastest drummer in the entire world
Hes an incredible drummer but god damn is he so boring to watch. Incredibly passionless. Great video nonetheless
very good wowowwo 😂😂
