mitchsmith91 double stroke rolls, alternating single and double rolls, buzz rolls, etc. there are plenty of other kinds of rolls but Brann definitely has a favorite
Yeah! Sounds soo good! Two things that I want to hear more on next Mastodon' album: Troy's basslines and Bill's feroucious grunts. And i'm a drummer. Brann is amazing!
It's cool to hear it so loud but honestly it'd be way too much for the actual release. Listen to the guitars and vocals in comparison, they'd be drowned out totally if the bass were this loud on record. I think they just mixed the bass so high because it's a drum cover, which is awesome
I had thought for quite a while that current music had nothing to offer for me anymore until I heard Mastodon. Songs like this give me a new sense of hope that there is still more out there to find and enjoy.
Thankfully Lars has stopped doing that in their live performances over the past couple years. There for a while he made their live stuff unbearable to watch.
Will Castillo Not looking to disagree with u, or start an argument, but did u see their performance last week for Howard stern, some ridiculous drum fills for no reason.
@@JohnDoe-ij7et Yeah man that was horrible. Unfortunately, that's standard Lars mode. I definitely can't see any improvement over the last couple of years. If anything, he seems to be getting worse as time goes on. Playing unnecessary fills is one thing but not being able to keep time as you're playing them just adds injury to insult.
@@screambluemurder101 Last time I saw them was in 2018. He definitely cannot hit those notes, but it's not bad by any means. They still sound killer live imo.
@@marcelstadler Very true, and a good point. I'm surprised he can even sing at all while playing, since most of their songs are just non-stop craziness (at least on the drums). I'm sure if he was doing vocals only he would sound a lot closer to the studio recordings.
I remember bumping into Brann at a King Diamond concert and realizing just how big of a fan he is of the music. So glad to have had the opportunity to meet him, super nice and insanely humble. The best.
This is a context in which blasting fills on every measure works...busy ? Definitely. Overplaying ? No. It works beautifully with Mastodon 's prog metal leanings....this guy is one of the greatest drummers on our planet.
Being amazed that this guy drums this well is one thing. Realising he sings while playing like this is mind blowing. One of the best in the business!! Possibly one of the best there has ever been.
Brann Dailor is The single light I look to during this quarantine lockdown. Thank you for your brilliance my man. The sun squints when he marvels at you.
Where do drummers get that kind of energy from. Not just him but a lot of good drummers seem to have incredible energy to move so fast and accurately. It blows my mind for people to be that energetic. I want that!
He may not be as technical as certain metal drummers (at least when it comes to playing on Mastodon songs, I haven't heard him play otherwise) but he still has mad skills. Some people might say he 'over drums' sometimes, but I think it still fits the music. Also, I love how his drumming has a much larger focus on the hands, compared to many metal drummers than focus more on the feet. In any case, a great drummer. One of my favourites. And that kit sounds absolutely beautiful (though it definitely helps that he is playing it).
I was always amazed at how a drummer's mind works. I understand guitar, but drums are a mystery to me, and seeing Brann perform adds a deeper level of appreciation for the complexity of his drumming. I often feel that his drumming after the Hunter got worse, but vids like this really help me see that it is as tight as ever and actually more mature than before (where his drumming would stand out quite obviously on songs like Battle At Sea, but now it's more like an underlying background but no less intricate). Guy's a natural self-taught genius.
ive followed brann since the today is the the day in the eyes of God that shit ruled my life got to see mastodon in a dive bar in 02-03 there was less than 10 people there this was hickory NC and there from ATL so I got to see them more than any other band I've seen live so much fun its been to long I need to go see them on there next tour please don't forget
Me and my buddy drove like 4 hours to see the guys play and when they busted out this song we lost our shit 🤘 worth every single penny and also one of the best experiences I've ever had
Agreed, it brings out the song's emotion so vividly. You can feel what they were feeling when they wrote and recorded it and with this video you see Brann experiencing it as he plays.
Watching him drum is so damn pleasurable (obviously it’s the whole mastodon vibe as well) ! Tripped balls once to one of their albums. Think I crapped my pants
He's my favourite drummer. Great fun to listen to; love the fills and groove. Supreme stuff👍 Also; that drum kit might want to call it's parents afterwards and tell the good news🤓.
That is one crazy looking kit....Dangerfield and Foxx??? Ok then...nice. Wait, is that a Hammond B3 back there? Father's a keyboard player, like 78yrs old now...still crushes it on the keyboards.
Mastodon: Brann, please stop playing single-stroke rolls.
Brann: hehehe toms go brrrrrr
Are there other types of rolls? 👀😅
Perfect use for this meme, couldn't think of a better way than BRRRR to type out how his tom rolls sound
@@mitchierichie ...yes
@@mitchierichie 3:25 RLLRLLRLLRLL
mitchsmith91 double stroke rolls, alternating single and double rolls, buzz rolls, etc. there are plenty of other kinds of rolls but Brann definitely has a favorite
Brann is invited to dinner... coming through with them buttery rolls.
One of my top 5 drummers. Every song he plays is so full and non-stop
And he does it while singing
Ya he's very adhd-drummer's drummer.
Between him and Danny Carey it's really hard to see anyone else as being close. Mikkey Dee maybe?
Bill Cyrus Gavin Harrison
Bill Cyrus - Mario Duplantier
the bass mix in this video is better than the actual album. as a bassist, thank you meinl.
Yeah! Sounds soo good! Two things that I want to hear more on next Mastodon' album: Troy's basslines and Bill's feroucious grunts. And i'm a drummer. Brann is amazing!
Quite true, Troy is a genius.

Check out anything played, written, or produced by Steven Wilson
Enslaved
One of the best bands on the planet, their new record hushed and grim rules
The music has always been the same, your perspective of it changed
Nah current music always has something to offer, you just have to look for it even if it's gonna be a while till you find it
“Dang’ ol drummin man I’ll tell you what man he can really hit them dang ol drums man”

Oh Dang ol, dang ol man!
He sure can flickety-flam them drums
He's like an octopus... is he human?
@@kerandurrant6043 Octopus Has No Friends :)
- Brent, making of Emperor of Sand
Someone watched the EoS documentary
This comment from Brent is gonna follow him for the rest of his life.
I have no words for the talent he displays…he sings while doing this…it’s insane.
This is what I imagine Lars thinks he sounds like when he adds in those random, off time fills
Dude, this is exactly what I was thinking when I was watching this.
Lmao

Also - in case you didn't know - It's Brann singing the chorus.
I wish Brann would have also sang the chorus during his drum playthrough
SatanicalEve is he hitting those notes live these days?
@@screambluemurder101 Last time I saw them was in 2018. He definitely cannot hit those notes, but it's not bad by any means. They still sound killer live imo.
Lucas T I think having to play at the same time takes a bit away from his vocal ability .. they of course do it differently in studio ..

This man has the best drum sound in modern metal... hands down.
Matt Halpern would like to know your location 👀
Danny Carey would be another.
you never heard of Tool!?
The first drummer for Baroness. Tool, TMV, Gojira.
@@armanlopeman Sure, he doesn't use samples?
I really like when he uses the wooden things to hit the shiny and colorful things.
This is a context in which blasting fills on every measure works...busy ? Definitely. Overplaying ? No. It works beautifully with Mastodon 's prog metal leanings....this guy is one of the greatest drummers on our planet.
The wild thing is that this is him matured and subdued. His stuff up to Blood Mountain was even more wild and frenetic.
Bran I think you accidentally played a back beat here between fill 467 and fill 468. Might want to put a fill there.
Your a legend
Yeah them cymbals sound fantastic but holy cow the mixing is outstanding
surprised I haven't seen more comments about it. this vid series and the hunter are my go-to for drum references.
@@bendavies9157 The drum sound on The Hunter is ridiculous, possibly my favourite production of any of their albums.
Song length = 6:18
Brann Dailor Drum fills = 6:14
not to mention he has to sing in it too
One of the nicest and most humble musicians I've ever met
what I love about Brann's drumming is his filler can be completely different each time and it still melts my face.
Being amazed that this guy drums this well is one thing. Realising he sings while playing like this is mind blowing. One of the best in the business!! Possibly one of the best there has ever been.
Damn Jared from Drumeo has really improved
lmao
Ha...ha...He does look like Jared. Nice! 😆🤟
So much talent.
Absolute beast!! Love this band and especially Brann’s drumming, good lord🤘🏼
lovin the dangerfield and foxx bassdrum head.. youre a legend brann!!
That drum head gets no respect.
@Tomdawg89 No respect at all!
That bass head is fucking great!!!
I just can't get enough of these playthrough. He's incredible! Jazz hands all over all the kit!!
Jazz?!?
If you drum like Bran you'll always be in shape.
Ive seen somewhere that he has the stamina of a pro soccer player when they tested him
Herta and 32nd note fills at high tempo. Oh and sing a chorus over that at the same time.
Yeah, this guy is a beast
0:04 When you are Brann Dailor and you hit the hi hat just cause you had half a second spare time.
Nothing like the smooth finish of barrel-aged hi hats :)
I wish they had these awesome professionally recorded performances back in the early days.
That final china hit is awesome.
Blows my mind that he’s this good AND he sings. Brann is a savant.
Brann Dailor is The single light I look to during this quarantine lockdown.
Thank you for your brilliance my man. The sun squints when he marvels at you.
My mam gave me the gift of life. Brann Dailor gave me the will to live it ♥️
Where do drummers get that kind of energy from. Not just him but a lot of good drummers seem to have incredible energy to move so fast and accurately. It blows my mind for people to be that energetic. I want that!
CARDIO BABY. Hop on a mountain bike, pick up jogging. Learn to do gymnastics! :)
Dude threw me his drumstick when i went to the hunter heritage show. I am now a monstar
Awesome playing and incredible sound as ever. Great song. These videos are amazing, keep them coming!
He"s just simply the BEST!!!!!

Two words I spitted out at the end of the concert in Warsaw - FUCK YEAH BRANN
I bet those drums need a cig after that....
Yezzir. They took a pounding

His precious stones drum through is worth watching too, he crushed that one. Ancient kingdom is another good one he play through
Brann Dailor!! a fundamental piece when it comes to establishing the sound of mastodon.
This Man is a savage, one of the best drummers.
He really blended both of his styles on this song. Groove and following the guitars with crazy drum rolls.
More! More! More! How much for entire Mastodon catalogue done like this vid??!?!
Hell yes, more Brann Video release. Thank for the upload Meinl Cymbals.
One of my top 10 songs from these guys. I love the rhythm behind the solos
Best Danny Carey interview yet. I really enjoyed it
Always impressed by Mr. Dailor. Wow!
One of my favorite drummers! The paint job on his kit just killer! Loving that metalflake lowrider vibe.🤘

One of my favourite all-time youtube videos.
love it.
I'm not even a drummer but dam i love watching Brann. He's awesome
The freaking tone man wow
Best performer / musician ever seen! UNBELIEVABLE what an artist!!!!🤡🤡
Great job Brann. Love the kit too!
He gave me a fist bump at devin's show in Atlanta earlier this year. I felt like some of his power transferred to me.
It did. Don't squander it with masturbation. Shit can go from inspirational to Greek tragedy in NO TIME.
@@aplus1080 haha
Dude has always had a killer drum sound.
Fun fact: Brann wrote the lyric "they see me rollin', they hating"
We want more from Brann!!! Pay the man.
Just looked Portnoy's video and get bored after 3 minutes
This one is on one breath. Outstanding. Love Brann and Mastodon.
With love from Russia
Me and my buddy drove like 4 hours to see the guys play and when they busted out this song we lost our shit 🤘 worth every single penny and also one of the best experiences I've ever had
Everytime he's about to say Proud I almost laugh smiling. He's always had that charm
Proud?
The man is a machine, keeps getting better with each record.
While I love all his playing you should check out lethargy, I think it’s his best playing.
Still one of the sickest kits I have ever seen. Get em Brann.
Ive seen Mastodon live more then any other band and i cant wait to see them again!!! Brann is a total fucking beast!!
Who mixed this?! Oh my f.... god it sound so f.... good!
i can actually hear troy's bass loud and clear. this is way better than the album version.
@@bassaholicpong first thing I noticed! I wish the album was mixed like this
It's like hearing it for the first time, damn this is well done!
Are you listening with headpones?
Agreed, it brings out the song's emotion so vividly. You can feel what they were feeling when they wrote and recorded it and with this video you see Brann experiencing it as he plays.
You got so much vibrancy and great sound too
Makes me appreciate the Mastobrann Vater 5B stick I was given even more. Thank you, sir.
Watching him drum is so damn pleasurable (obviously it’s the whole mastodon vibe as well) ! Tripped balls once to one of their albums. Think I crapped my pants
As always, this sounds incredible! Such power and precision
Bran Dailer is the best drummer alive. I really want to see Mastadon and Underoath preform together. My heart would EXPLODE!
easily one of my favorite personages in metal!
Great song, great vocals, great fills, great beats, what's not to like?
Brann just makes you want to be a drummer
Seriously, I have no skills but man watching him desperately makes me want to be a drummer. Guy is just a glorious drummer
Jazz drummer. Love the style
Cymbals Sound Sweet!!! just like the drums
I hope there's so many more Brann videos left to come. I've watched the Blasteroid one countless times.
He's my favourite drummer. Great fun to listen to; love the fills and groove. Supreme stuff👍 Also; that drum kit might want to call it's parents afterwards and tell the good news🤓.
Amazing drum mix!
One does not simply watch Brann Dailor's Drum videos once. You watch it a few times a year.
I thought I was the only one rocking foundry reserve hats for heavy stuff. Nice!!
One of me fave mastodon songs.
Very tasteful chops!!!
Brann’s snare: Ow
i wish all the Mastodon song were mixed like this.
Dude! Those crashes are gangster AF! Huge
This dudes drumming doesn’t just speak to me, it yells at me. Man what a great drummer. And he seems like just a sweet as fun dude to chill with
That is one crazy looking kit....Dangerfield and Foxx??? Ok then...nice. Wait, is that a Hammond B3 back there? Father's a keyboard player, like 78yrs old now...still crushes it on the keyboards.
When an ocotopus achieves homo sapien like form: Danny Carey, Tomas Haake, Brann Dailor.

Alex Bent
@Brent Harper Jommy Chamberlain is wayyy underrated!
Blake Richardson
I like to set the tempo to 0.75 when watching him play. Makes me feel not quite as inadequate as a drummer... 😅
One of the greats
Watch with a metronome at 137 bpm for maximum effect.
Absolutely insane
Before watching this video, I had no idea how many ghost notes Brann plays. His left hand is truly haunted.
We can hear da bass that not so barely deep in a mix, awesome!
Brann was also pretty incredible with Today Is The Day.
The true GOAT/MVP
he is a beast on that kit 🔥🔥🔥🔥
